Watching Porter handle the basketball is cringe. Rashard Lewis 2.0

Why Edwards? Lol

Because he's the next best player after Jokic and SGA.


Not even close to being the next best.


Giannis and Steph so easily forgotten. Ant is 6th, after those 2 and Luka.

Thunder may need to get some bigger wings or guards no matter what happens this season. They're huge up front and then kinda tiny everywhere else compared to Denver

Same could be said for Denver.


You are super stacked with talent waayy different from us not to mentions your billions of assets if you can't even beat this version of us and win a title then SGA is no where good enough to win as the best player it's that simple. We need to make massive changes this off season unlike u.

Denver's role players are making shots and plays.

OKCs guys aren't at this point.

Both defenses are taking the strengths away

The issue is the OKC has a very simple 4 out offense.

There's no deception or misdirection. It's in your face, this is what we like to do, you can't stop us.

It's like an offense from 2014 Miami Heat.
Bingo, similar to the Mavs playing Zone and Spurs loading up on the Heat.

It's a scheme/coaching issue offensively

Open looks don't matter for OKC if they can't make them.

Dray exists


Dray is a generational defender. And his IQ is off the charts as well. He does a lot on offense for that team when they're fully healthy.

Dort ain't that. Wont ever be that. You cant ask Dort to anchor thep aint like Dray does.

Dray runs laps around Dort as an impact player.
