CP wasn't the only departure the following season. Only 1 of those 4-5 dudes I just mentioned remained on the team - SGA

You're making my point

So the thunder were making the bubble without CP3?

 

[antidope]

I respect them keeping it business as usual with it.

 

[antidope]

We're really gonna create a whole fake story over a first round exit?

 

[HIM]

They were literally tanking after cp left

They were tanking when CP3 was there. Yet he still dragged them to the playoffs.

Bro...what are you talking about right now? Seriously.

I'm trying to point out to you that it wasn't just CP3. That entire starting lineup was a legit NBA starting lineup. They literally got rid of their next SIX leading scorers after SGA the following season.

You're trying to make it seem as if the SAME team minus Chris Paul is what the Thunder are today and that isn't true. You're ignoring an additional 50 points per game that walked out of the door along with Chris Paul

THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

Same thing could be said about MIN though. What about that team screams more than 30 wins?

The opinions of that OKC roster on this page were much different before the season started. Put CP3 back on the thunder tomorrow and they play .550+ ball the rest of the year.

The hate for CP3 is unique

I’m speaking to who they were when CP3 walked in the door after PG and Russ exited, and that team wasn’t thinking playoff. I could probably fish out 3 or 4 non-playoff teams with similar productivity. My point has been and still is, CP3 gets fronted on when all he does is make teams better everywhere he goes.

If you have a problem with me calling that team scrubby fine, but they weren’t playoff bound without him.

 

[datznasty]

You think CP3 plus who the Thunder played on the floor tonight is a playoff team?

And yes, Presti getting guys on the Thunder to agree to sit due to mysterious injuries to pad the L column, even while in the midst of career seasons or seasons important to their future, is bad for basketball and I wonder how he does it.

 

[BIG FISH]

152 wit no overtimes is insane

 

[datznasty]

I wanted them to get the double up. It was go close but Ty Jerome had an And 1 late and Paul Watson hit some clutch 3s to cut the lead to 73

How much do OKC suites cost right now?

How much do OKC suites cost right now?

I think its one of those set ups that if you fill out a few surveys they'll email you a rewards for one

Should not be in the NBA.

They can really lower the amount of teams to 20-25.

There's a lot of players in the league that should not be considered the best in the world.

480 players, if 80-100 are mediocre, then there need to be less.

No cap when this generation of stars leave, curry, kd, harden, Dame leave, I'm good on the NBA. Not seeing generational talent in the youth. I've been too spoiled by the greats, Kobe, Bron, curry, etc. I'm not interested in lesser talents. No once in a lifetime talents.

Giannis 26. He's already killing, he'll run the world, unchallenged in 3-4 yrs.

[Nike Jordan]

How the hell do you lose an NBA game by SEVENTY-THREE POINTS?

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Dog...

 

[ill steelo]

Presti is literally a less outspoken Sam Hinkie.
