Thunder in 6

 

[friscostylez]

Just a quick note to folks calling for Frye to start over Love.

Why over Love? Just bring Tristan off the bench instead.

can't have two charming sawft bigs starting b

 

[maliz]

Anyone remember when Lebron James faked the elbow injury against the Celtics and the doctors couldn't find anything wrong?

Same year, LBJ use to dance and "entertain" on the bench during blowouts.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Tristan Thompson putting up those 2016 Tim Duncan numbers over the last few games. Yikes.

 

[Proposition Joe]

Hey guys the 2 time winning MVP of the league, who's team went 73-9 is down in the playoffs, why's the focus on bron.

 

[mgrand15]

Was that when he shot a lefty free throw in crunch time for no reason?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

He was making 2.3 threes a game but scoring 26 points. I'm no math major but I'd say he was doing more than just jacking up threes all day.

I wonder what loves usage numbers were in minny. He definitely played closer to the bucket even while jacking threes

He probably shot from all over the place but I haven't looked up shot charts or anything

Uh, because the thunder have a huge drop off after Russ and Kevin....And golden state does not. They have players on the bench that would start for OKC. Like, most series are won by depth...not necessarily the stars.

Where is that verbatim quote again? @a-friend

Bruh, we aren't going to see eye to eye on this so whatever. You're saying one thing I'm saying something else, not even sure we are concerned with arguing the same thing at this point, it's been 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 days or something since the importance of bench was even brought up. I'm willing to say I was wrong or you were right or agree to disagree or whatever, I'm not going to debate this with you for the next 2 months though,

According to this one website Thunder has like a 64% chance of making the finals. Thoughts?

Full odds:

Thunder 64% then 42%

Warriors 36% then 29%

Cavs 71% then 23%

Raptors 29% then 6%

first being making finals second being winning

Usually around 26-29%

Why not, you don't need Tristan to protect the paint against a team who isn't concerned with operating in it.

He can't do anything offensively so it's easy for Biyombo to take Love or play 5 on 4.

He can't even out rebound Bismack or box him out.

At least Frye can operate on the block and stretch the Floor.
You don't need TT other than for Rebounds, and he's not providing that.

I keep saying it, it's like we not allowed to criticize Steph. Steph has bad games and it's real quite around here.

0 points in final 5 mins of the game, that's not best in the world material.






Warriors tying it up 2 tonight

I don't care to. I just laugh at how dudes in here hold Lebron at a higher standard while at the same time claim Steph is better. **** is funny.
