[bluemj32]

There are levels to being a superstar and right now SGA is showing that

I wonder if Anthony Edwards issues playing in small spaces is a skill issue or athleticism issue. I think his basketball athleticism is a bit overrated.

People really compared him to MJ athletically but here is a huge gap there.

Opposite of the first half of G1.

SGA and the OKC starters were good tonight, and the Minny bench was mostly good.

Still not sure that a team with an 8 man rotation can beat OKC.

[Dadouv47]

It's still very early and I'm worried about the second half but so far Denver played way better zone defense than the Wolves

[Ben-N1ce]

If OKC could shoot this game is already out of reach.

Good thing I have a decent bottle of red else this **** would really get to me lol

They should at least make it optional, like subtitles

Are ya sure it hasn't managed to anyway ?

Why not? I think OKC's depth to 10 guys is a little overrated. There's diminishing returns in a shortened sample size.

It helps in the postseason, but the main benefit is in the regular season to get to 68 wins

Probably against whatever stupid agreement they have to use it

DEAR NBA,

**** OFF WITH

1. THE AI RECAP OF PLAYS

2. HOT RED CIRCLE AND COLD BLUE CIRCLE TRACKING AROUND PLAYERS.

3. THE COMMENTATORS PUSHING BOTH ABOVE.

IT'S **** DISTRACTING AND INSULTING. FANS AREN'T IDIOTS. THEY KNOW THAT IF A GUY IS SHOOTING 8/9 OR WHATEVER HE IS 'HOT'. LIKE WE WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN NEMBHARD WAS 'HOT' WITHOUT THE RED CIRCLE AS COMMENTATORS JUST STATED?

****. OFF. SHOVING. THIS. DOWN. OUR. THROATS. AND. USING. VIEWING. FANS. AS. FREE. TESTERS.

P.S. WE PAY FOR THIS ****.

Is that what you're seeing from the NBA league pass? that's pretty insane.

Yes. Do you recall when NHL did its puck tracking thing so newer fans would know where it was and there a **** STREAK of colour across the screen? This is the level it's at.

without watching the game, just saying the circle makes me think of the hot and cold rhythm system in 2K with the red rings on your player if you are hot and blue rings if you are not.

True, didn't think of that

[Calinks]

One thing I am seeing is the Thunder are one of the few teams that are actually boxing out, they have secured 3-5 rebounds by just getting a body on the Wolves.

I think playing in small spaces is more mental than anything. Less margin for error there.

[LSWF]

first half ft differential 10 to 1...just a fact.

[dkb964]

Wolves are too dumb to win this series

Your best player needs to grow up. Too much kid in him still, once he does though. Championship

Yeah have to remember SGA is 3 years older than Ant. And it shows.[/q

They play diffrent positions. There is nobody at SG that is close to Edwards.

[doogie_hauser]

So over Doris and Jefferon's trite and extremely annoying calling. Mike Breen deserves a better supporting cast. Wish they could bring back Doc Rivers now the Bucks have been eliminated

I don't agree. I think that the shorter rotation teams end up getting worn out against OKC. We'll find out I guess.

Denver got worn down over the course of the series.

[durden_tyler]

Shame that Steph got hurt. OKC/Warriors would of been a much more interesting series than what we're getting right now. Randle and Ant aren't high enough IQ players to beat this Thunder defense.

No, Warriors wouldn have been swept. This Wolves team is the better match up vs the Thunder.

Need even better shooting from the Wolves to steal this. First 6 minutes of the the 3Q should tell us if this is going to be another blowout or a close game.
