2023-2024 NBA Season Thread • Page 422

did you guys know that in the 4 games Sabonis played vs OKC this year he's a -15

the only game he was had a positive +/- was in november

 

don't get me wrong though I know SAC has usually played pretty well against OKC and I can see it going to 6 games

 

Oh we also didn't have Keegan in either game we lost

It'd be a 6 or 7 game series one way or the other

 

I appreciate your optimism but history is not on your side

 

This thunder team's vast playoff history or?

 

8 seeds vs 1 seeds

 

and as if SAC has an impressive playoff history? lol

 

Our current assemblage of players has played more than zero playoff games together

i am here for this chirping really hope this series happens this thread needs more varied beefs lol

 

I've barely watched the nba this year (thanks Bally Sports) so obviously I'm basing my opinions on what I've heard/read in the media. I would love the Kings to be good...next year

 

As a Thunder fan, I have no idea how they'll perform given this is new for them lol. Hoping for the best of course.

 

the way they've played this year doesn't seem to be a fluke, hoping that's true. but even if they beat SAC and lose to Dallas or something, they're just building up those playoff scars IMO

 

I'm really tired of doing slogans around the ALL in Dallas. This shirt is an absolute mess.

 

Oh I think they can be competitive against anyone they play, but their lack of playoff experience could be what dooms them. I'd like them to at least make it to the WC finals if anything.

But for real, I'm just happy they;re fun and exciting again, no matter what happens (and however much I may complain in frustration later lmao).

 

I think the Thunder would be heavy favorites, but all the West series should be pretty competitive. There really aren’t that many games separating the half from the bottom half. Kings are the underdogs especially after the injuries but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make the upset, the only surprise would be Denver losing.

that said, Kings still have to get through the Pelicans who they play terribly against. That might be the bigger challenge matchup wise than the Thunder.

 

wait arent the kings without monk and huerter the playoffs?

 

huerter i hardly

 

Monk will probably come back if we’re in the playoffs

No Huerter I’m fine with, Keon Ellis should have his starting role permanently anyway

 

Here for the Tony Brothers play-in experience.

 

That second Bam foul was bullshit

 

Fuck I hope Jimmy is ok

 

Yeah really can’t tell if he’s hurt or milking it. Took those foul shots pretty limp

 

He just tried to stop the ball with the foot on the knee he hurt so he might ok lol. But him taking the free threes is a good sign he may just need to walk it off.

 

Sixers looking like bums but I’m reluctantly rooting for them because I want Celtics heat round 1

 

Every coach in the NBA should just run 48 minutes of zone against the Sixers.

 

Omg Tobias was that real life
