I just noticed the Thunder have a player named T. Furgeson.

Turd Furgeson... It's a funny name. Heh.

Well, that would be weird for 2/3 of the posters here.

Watching the Bucks vs Rockets right now. Connaughton is looking real good for the Bucks. Glad he found a spot there and is going to get the chance to fight for a championship this year.

I'm still not convinced the Jazz wouldn't have been an easier 1st Round Opponent than the Thunder. The Jazz do not look the slightest bit impressive imo.

I think the main argument for wanting the Thunder was Kanter vs. Adams being a better match-up than Kanter vs. Gobert. a healthy Nurkić or a healthy Paul George would have significantly swayed things.

I just never saw the C's as being the defining factors in either series. The team with the better players almost always wins and I'm just not that impressed by Utah's roster, Portland's top two guys were head and shoulders better than anyone on Utah. Even if you don't agree with that, I think it's a safe to say that they don't have anyone to the level of Dame, including Gobert. I hate comparing guards to C's, but in terms of who has the most impact on a game, Dame has bigger impacts on a game than Gobert because of his ability to completely take a game over, something Gobert cannot imo.

That wasn't the case for OKC on paper, but obviously the health of Russ and PG has played a significant part in evening the playing field. Well, that and Dame playing absolutely out of his mind.

I now understand why Utah was so pissed at us for winning. Yikes.
