(1) Thunder vs. (8) Pelicans First Round Playoff Series Thread

[Axe]

He's done with the Pels. Trade request incoming.

He should play for the pistons or the wizards.

[GimmeThat]

kinda odd in todays league, to have such a large margin of victory, and not have any player come close to a triple double. if you don't pay close enough attention, you'd probably miss out on all the moving screens.

Nah, New Orleans is a good spot for him. He’s not a first option. He’s a good second option, paul george type, occasional first option in spurts if need be. He’s a good fit with Zion, they played well together early in the season. Kinda lost their chemistry when Ingraham came back from injury but theyll get better over time.

Dont really see a better spot for him. Unless maybe Toronto wants him as an upgrade to RJ Barrett and Nawlins wants to save some salary.

you might wanna update your glasses based on the stats of D'Angelo Russell first 2 years with the Lakers, and when they got him back.
he had even higher usage back then.

Thunder up 10 in 2nd quarter of Game 3

[Im Still Ballin]

Giddy playing well. When he's on OKC is hard to stop.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Dort clamping Ingram and drilling 3s. Beast.

Lu Dort goin crazy too. The Thunder’s young talent is stupid stacked. If they could keep this whole roster together theyll just be a dynasty for the next 15 years


The problem is gonna be paying everyone. The new CBA is designed to stop teams from doing it, and the Thunder especially as a small market team are likely gonna have some tough choices.

Very keen to see how they decide to maneuver in the years to come.

The Pels are horrible to watch. Good riddance when they get swept.

Im confused by JV’s minutes. Hes got their biggest mismatch, last game he scored their first 11 points but only plays 23 minutes.

Today he started 3/4 but played 12 minutes total. Did he get hurt at some point? If so I missed it.

Like, Holmgren cant handle him. And hes been converting consistently around the basket. Larry Nance is a good energy guy but he doesnt give them much in this matchup. They shoulda been leaning more on Jonas.

It makes ZERO sense. I would have Jonas take 40 shots a game.

Same thing with Zubac.

Just keep going to it until they stop it made times in a row.
It’s like they are just using it as a tool to puppeteer defenses then they abandon once it sets up something else. Nah idiots, go right back to it again. Mix it up ALL GAME LONG, until it fails mad times in a row.

am I being too cold, for telling Dalai Lama, who promised he'd burn himself to death in order to provide the warmth in which humanity requires to live, to hurry the f*ck up. is that cold?

[Axe]

Bye bye, pels.
