Wednesday 11/12 NBA Game Thread

[Optms]

Lakers nowhere close to contenders.

OKC vs Denver is the real finals.

I don’t think anybody really needed tonight’s game to know this is true. And further, Denver has a much smaller margin for error in that series.

Until (unless? Mitchell pick and all that) the cap rules start to impact this OKC roster, it’s probably going to take untimely injuries to stop them.

There hasn’t been a roster this much deeper than the rest of the league since when? The dawn of free agency? The 50’s-60’s Celtics?

I am just poking fun at the fact this is said literally every year with Denver getting bounced in round 2 by whatever team. Rinse and repeat.

With the emergence of AJ Mitchell, OKC has every reason to rest SGA for stretches of the regular season to keep him fresh for the playoffs.

[DaPessimist]

The gap between the Thunder and the rest of the league is growing by the day. Maybe the Nuggets have a chance of beating them in a series, but I doubt it.

[ball_takes23]

Reaves is completely useless against playoff caliber defense when he cant get his BS touch fouls. Gonna be hilarious to see the lakers pay him $200M

[Yuri36]

29 pts at almost half time for LA?
Are you frigging serious?

People still don't give OKC enough credit for their amazing, suffocating defense either, everyone seems to think they are so good because of SGA, J-Dub and their other talented wings, but they just crush the souls of their opponents defensively

The #1 seed in the western conference is crucial this year; whichever team gets it only needs to face one of Denver or Houston or OKC.

[Handlez]

Lebron requesting a trade as we speak.

He can't win with these cats.

Not with Caruso shutting down Jokic.

GG, Warriors fans.

Your team deserved it. Foster fandom (yes I'm 30-34 to Spurs 14-16FTs bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! biased) not withstanding.

No excuses for us

You outplayed us by outhustling us and out team-playing us.

Hopefully we adjust Friday.

See you then.

Yea as opposed to Luka Bumcic who had numerous first round exits and no rings.

Not by 'whatever team'...not the Lakers who they've been beating like they owe them money got a whole chant started...

[Chuck Everett]

OKC literally scoring at will.

[G R E Y]

Warriors announcers flat out saying Curry jumping backwards into Wemby to get a foul called. *sigh*

Harden, SGA, Brunson, they all do it and the refs keeps rewarding them.

NBA.

STOP REWARDING THIS.

****.

[76ciology]

Even Isaiah Joe is helping Lakers to score

[Mamba Mentality]

Luka having more TOs than FGM on 11 attempts is sickening. There is zero chance in hell we can win a game like that.

[Optms]

Lakers in shambles tonight. Shai the real MVP.

[Patches Perry]

Isaiah Joe has 5% of the Lakers points at halftime.

[rockmanslim]

OKC shooting just 56%? I don't remember them ever missing this game

What's funny is I've not seen Curry get this many FTs in a long time.
