So if it was anything but a tied game you would think wed be worse without Zion? Tf logic is that? :lol:

Okay noting that you can’t detect sarcasm.

I dont really know how that was supposed to be clear tbh, but ok man, not gonna fight you on this

Every time JV starts to run up the court, you can almost see him say ‘Not this F’ing thing again’ in frustration.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Thunder must create some distance to end this half, the Pelicans are gaining confidence by the minute if they continue to make this close.

Shouldn't this be the perfect time for OKC to have Hayward in the game? I'm not quite sure why they made the deal for him if he's not in the game in non-SGA lineups like this. I realize that he's not what he used to be, but he only played 3 minutes before he came out again.

Thunder has some streaky shooters off the bench. Struggling defensively but on offense thry can be reliable.

If only anyone could have predicted that offensive rebounding would be a problem for OKC.

The 3 point bricks in these first playoff games have been disgusting. Part of the reason why most of the games have been awful.

Some teams and players look very mortal when they don’t get paraded to the line. Expect it to change though.
