2024 NBA Playoffs - West 1st Round: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #8 New Orleans Pelicans (OKC SWEEPS 4-0)

[Funcrusher]

Just do media full time CJ

[scrabbarista]

Is it just me or is Reggie Miller somehow incapable of pronouncing Chet’s last name?

There seems to be an epidemic of not being able to tell "m" and "n" apart in MBA announcing circles this season.

[Airmiess]

Welp, i can turn this off

[WestGOAT]

Why did Philly let Isaiah Joe go? Imagine him next to Maxey and Embiid instead of Max Contract Tobias Haris.

[Harry Garris]

The Pelicans are just dying for someone who can break down a defense in the half court. None of these guys are able to put any pressure on the rim.

[Mamba Mentality]

McCollum being asked to do too much.

[Funcrusher]

2 3pt FGA game for BI, gg OKC

[NYKnickerbocker]

How are they gunna review that play if there was no foul call made? lol

[Dirk]

OKC gets very favourable calls.

[RIPskaterdude]

Kings blew it, would have been a great series vs OKC

Y’all would have been swept

Wrong, Kings in 6

Remember how the Warriors had all-star David Lee but we're kinda stuck as a mid team under Mark Jackson? (Then Steve Kerr promoted Draymond over Lee and the rest is history?)

I feel like that's the Pelicans but they have 2 David Lees in Ingram and McCollum. Some coach could come replace Willie Green, immediately swap out CJ and Ingram for Murphy and Dyson, and re-tool around an MVP Zion (yeah gimme that injury luck!) season and change this team entirely.

[Airmiess]

That was an And 1, Dort stuck to BI like glue good god lol

[rockmanslim]

OKC should tell the refs to just give the Pels that And 1 out of pity

Yeah they're just dancing in the midrange on every possession.

[Mamba Mentality]

Dort gets away with a lot on defense because of his reputation. The Draymond of guards if you will.

[Chuck Everett]

McCollum being asked to do too much.

Thunder are one of the best teams at forcing live ball turnovers. Aside from CJ and Alvarado, none of their wing players are totally comfortable initiating offense or getting downhill consistently. Herb and Dyson can do it, but they've been more tertiary ballhandlers at this stage in their careers. Juxtapose that with Shai, Jalen and Giddey, all three are primary ballhandlers, but they also have size.

To make sure it beat the buzzer.

The problem is David Griffin is terrible moreso than Willie and doesnt want to build around Zion at all. So he has to be fired. But then Gayle also sucks and conversely is completely apathetic to this team's success (or lack of) so that wont happen. Pelslife

OKC fans, moving forward how are you going to afford all the extensions for these amazing players you have? Just curious and how deep ownership you think will go into the tax
