Why don’t you both guard Kyrie but just let him go around you

You have to be joking me. Lu Dort has been fouled at least 18 times coming over a screen.

He's from Dallas.

Makes sense, never really seen NBA players go to watch these games after their season end. Seen it twice tonight.

I remember Wade being at the 2010 finals in Boston

Okay, Thunder did a good job on not getting blown out but that 7-point lead is the mark, they can't seem to get past that.

Luka 23 Ppg on .525ts
Kyrie 17 Ppg on .594ts

You don't even have to guard Luka anymore... He will brick wide open shot anyway :lol:

The extra pass by Giddey was great.

Too much midrange-- easier to gameplan against those kind of offensive players. To be in Steph, Luka level, he has to decide to improve (and take) that 3 pt shots or just attack all the way eveyrtime (a la Lebron, less bully ball but more wily drives).

I find it really funny that people are criticizing SGA's style of play when MJ was playing almost exactly the same way.

Maybe it’s the Kobe comparisons that I find annoying but he is not as dominant in my opinion. To say even invoke Jordan is more absurd in my opinion.

OKC waking up. Hopefully they wake everyone up

I dont mean this as an insult or as a jab but how is SGA different than young Westbrook?

Ooops late 3 by Wallace and it's down to 4 before the 4th quarter.

Go OKC, i really want yout to win this game so we can get a Game 6 at least!

WTF was that type of shot from Giddey haha

CelticSooner · Post #3534 » by **CelticSooner** » Tue May 14, 2024 3:29 am

WAY OFF!!!

GSP · Post #3535 » by **GSP** » Tue May 14, 2024 3:29 am

Giddey kind of the Rondo conundrum

hes their best passer by far but hes not a reliable 3pt shooter and wont be guarded offball. That 3 they got was off his passing. The ball doesnt move anywhere like that when he isnt out there

It feels like Shai has all 65 points for OKC

ChipotleWest · Post #3537 » by **ChipotleWest** » Tue May 14, 2024 3:30 am

That quarter was OKC 22 Dallas 15.

Nice defensive game right now by both teams.
