yeah, i think it's just conventional wisdom that okc is the best team because of the regular season. but depth is not as important as your top players in the playoffs. and that guy in denver is a monster. :lol:


Yeah, having the best top end talent matters a lot more than having a nice bench. Im a lot more worried about jokic than these young players and depth on okc. He is a killer.


there's steps to winning in the playoffs and you don't get to skip them. okc is still too young to win a championship. without looking i would bet that no team with their average age has won one in the last 50 years.


Your math checks out.

Also the basketball gods aren't going to let a swaggerless franchise from Oklahoma win a basketball championship. The universe has rules for a reason.

I wouldn't just look at this game. Even in this series SGA has more FTA...and in the regular season its not even close.

I’m sorry but this is all I see :lol:

Even if jokic is bad - sga tries foul baiting in the end of games. Horrendous behavior.

He is shameless and much worse.

They are both shameless foul baiters but Jokic is getting away with a lot of bs this game while SGA isn’t even getting to the line.

I never said he doesn't embellish calls though. I stan Brunson as well and he sells calls too. Its part of drawing fouls unfortunetly. Its why Melo never got love from the refs because he didn't "sell" contact. You can say that was endearing to Melo's game but it wasn't ideal to help try and win.

Jokic game is far less dependent on drawing contact than SGA though. I don't see how that can be argued.

If Denver had a player like Randle on their team they would have closed this series out earlier.

KAT would destroy iHart. It's not even a matter of if.

The issue would be Chet hovering around like a free safety off of Josh.

How is Gordon even out there? Insane that OKC isn't trying to target him on offense

agreed but that is my biggest concern. Boston did it with smaller less imposing shot blockers than Chet.
