They’re only a darling to OKC fans and gen z teenage boys making endless memes about shais aura and outfits

People over 23 do not like this team

Cry about a head snap if you want but he does not get the same love from refs at all

Thats because he's not as good as Shai... Brunson definitely tries to flop just as much as him lol

Not as good at what? If Brunson had shais whistle he’d average 35

A lot of players would average over 30 if they had his whistle.

Dude, Brunson isn't even in the same stratosphere as Shai... just stop lol.

And I still think Brunson's great as hell even with his constant flopping.

Heavy, heavy favorites at this point. People seem to forget just how dominant they were this season after going seven with Denver. Reminds me a little bit of the Spurs back in 2014; their toughest series came in the first round and then they pretty much trucked everybody. I will be stunned if anybody takes more than two games off them from here on out.

Chet heard the slander and had 13 in the second half. Jalen Williams with 13 in the second half as well.

I think at the end of the series some will look at clippers and nuggets differently. I felt all along that both were title contenders, if we can consider anyone other than okc a contender.

Seeding can change perception. If Clippers lost that Warriors game, they might be in wcf now

Spread out drive and kick 3pt shooting is our offensive game.

Gobert and Conley are role player specialists (defense and playmaking/leadership) who don't add to the offense at all. Meaning the portion of offense they should carry as starters is expected of the bench guys.

Add to that how Ant and Randle are defended 2nd half means they are deferring alot to kicking out to 3pt bench guys who force alot of 3s.

That 7 minute stretch due to the sprained ankle messed up his offensive rhtyhm.

Ant responds quite well when playing angry and this blowout loss should make him angry. He’ll be better in Game 2.

Anthony ‘next face of the league” Edwards with a 5 point half

Edwards is not that guy seriously

He let Rudy get murked by Luka last year by not saying I got Luka- notice how Caruso like naw I got Ant man…

Watching Minnesota the last two seasons reminds me a lot of lose C's team pre-title. Turn the ball over way too much and make stupid decisions.
