  1. Jalen Williams 1-12. Jesus.
  2. I think you could Giannis cheaper than Flagg at this point as dumb as that sounds. But Jalen W is an All Star and I could see Cason Wallace becoming an All Star. Throw in 2-3 of the really good picks and that's a lot.
  3. Easily the smartest person on the team, including the coaching staff.
  4. Depends on the picks involved. They have some very tasty picks out there in the future.
  5. If it were me, I'd trade Jalen, Cason Wallace and some tasty picks for the #1 pick and take Flagg. They could prolly make that same deal and get Giannis, I suppose but Flagg would be a good fit with them.
  6. What's funny is OKC's lack of close games this season really hurts in the playoff but what are you supposed to do, keep it close on purpose?
  7. OKC gets a block runs down the court and closes out the 3rd with a missed 3 by Dort. (Of course.)
  8. This offense is complete ass. Dort is 2-9 from 3. No one else has more than 4 attempts but Dort keeps being allowed to shoot. Jalen Williams checking in at 1-10. Mostly wild assed shots.
  9. Just a terribly designed offense by OKC. Their coach is in way over his head. He's great at development but is he big game winning coach?
  10. At one point he didn't know which Jalen Williams he was talking about.
  11. Caruso has been the only one that plays bigger in big games. OKC should be up +20 here. They're playing great defense, actually, and missing wide open shots. For some reason, Dort has taken 6 three's in the first half and is 1-6 (of course).
  12. No, even SGA is too passive. He's said he wants everyone involved (he's not wrong) but in big games sometimes, a star needs to take over.
  13. The basketball gods want it to go 6 or 7 games. Same reason why Boston wins tomorrow night.
  14. Everyone keeps speculating if OKC would trade for Giannis (prolly not) but what if they instead traded for Flagg? Send Chet or Jalen Williams plus Cason Wallace and 3 tasty pics? If I'm the other team I seriously consider that.
  15. The OKC/Denver series is going about like how their Dallas series went last year. Close games and Dallas and Denver hit all the big shots and OKC doesn't hit any. The series prolly should/could be 3-0 but Aaron Gordon hit a few shots. Also, a feature and a bug about SGA is that he doesn't take over games. He's insisted for years about spreading the shots around and how those guys need to be willing and able to hit a big shot rather than just stand around watching and waiting. (He's not wrong.) However, sometimes when they need a bucket or two, he just needs to go get them.
  16. When does Vance start arguing with him?
  17. Surprised it hasn't happened already.
  18. Our types overlap to the point it's a perfect circle. She is the type I would marry in 6 months and she'd ruin my life a year later. She is my kryptonite.
  19. I remember watching a Celtics/Thunder game earlier this season and they took literally 35 three's in just the first half. Just a lazy offense, really. They'd run a screen and the person coming off would just fire up a three. They were hitting until they weren't and OKC is an awful matchup for them. Everyone on that roster can defend the perimeter. I remember thinking OKC would sweep them in a 7 game series and maybe I wasn't wrong.
  20. Pressure now on Denver for Game 3. If they lose that, they're in trouble. You can't help but to wonder if they're starting to wear down. They've gone every other day now for awhile. Winner of this series likely wins the whole thing considering what is going on in the other series. Boston/NY is insane and I don't really care who wins. Top 2 seeds in the East are both 0-2. Knicks out of the East maybe? Knicks in the Finals might save the league from a Cleveland/OKC ratings debacle.
  21. Oklahoma City not fucking around.
  22. The Ava being a third plotline is on point for that character and her in real life.
  23. For all the hand wringing, if Chet and/or Jalen Williams hit a few more shots, they win. Even with that, they should have won. They were up 10 late. Tonight is must win for them, though.
  24. On the flip side, Denver played pretty well, OKC did not late and it still took a miracle for Denver to win. Also, can Denver hold up playing like that every other night just seven guys?
