The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[superblytrife]

I feel like Hayward was a beast for about as long as Linsanity. Damn near forgot he was in the league until these playoffs, and I live like 10 minutes from Butler.

Hornets won that trade just for the simple fact they got 3 guys that actually make it on the floor. None of them are close to the caliber of player that Gordo *was*, but at least they’re usually available to play. Never seen a dude consistently be in/out of a lineup due to random injuries like Hayward.

White KD cookin

Chet’s good. Plays like a vet already most of the time.

He really adds so much to their defense, makes it easier on everyone else around him

Okc is tough man...

That's a hard out for anyone left

 

[N41D]

Luka's obviously hurt and it's impacting everything he does but good lord if you're gonna play through it and stay on the court you gotta stop chuckin threes at the rate he is.

Adapt.

Get it together Mavs

 

[lawdog1]

JDubb is better than Paul George right now. That hurts, man.

[dman14]

need the overreactions after this game
are mavs cooked? luka's body might not hold up this series. okc young and talented.
even if kai and luka go off, that may not be enough

 

[TimelessClassic]

OKC just elite at home...the Mavs are not gonna take 2 games on the road like they did at LA. They will be lucky to get just the 1 game they need

 

[B Sox]

My guy Wiggins

 

[pmatic]

Well that escalated quickly.

 

[akajae]

Dallas goofed

 

[QU!K]

Since it’s a copy cat league I hope OKC win so everyone tries to go young.

 

[dman14]

SGA constantly attacking and touching the paint. he's not dribbling just to settle for tough shots like paul george. mavs going to have their hands full. okc have some shooters on that squad.

 

[lawdog1]

OKC killing, but one bright spot for the Mavs is that Derek Jones Jr. is looking like one of the premier wing defenders in the NBA.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Love this for Luka

 

[lawdog1]

Luka's obviously hurt and it's impacting everything he does but good lord if you're gonna play through it and stay on the court you gotta stop chuckin threes at the rate he is.

Adapt.

I feel you. Kind of sucks when your team’s best player isn’t healthy in the playoffs.

 

[akajae]

My thunder really bout to win the chip.

OKC fans are spoiled man

The amount of elite talent they've had within that short span of time is ridiculous

 

[elpablo21]

Dallas goofed

The Trae trade looking funny in the light HIM
