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

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

They just need to keep SGA, Williams and Chet, rotate guys around those core 3.

[scrabbarista]

OKC gets very favourable calls.

All season, imo. Nobody @ me.

Which Williams? Haha

[Airmiess]

The scary part about OKC is that Williams can break out into a Paul Pierce anytime now

[OkcSinceSGA]

Damn I was wrong lol. I thought Pelicans defense would keep this to a sub 10 point OKC win. Denver is favored out west but OKC or Minny COULD win the west. I still think OKC has an edge compared to Minny due to SGA>Edwards for me.

[Funcrusher]

David Griffin and Gayle Benson should be so embarrassed man. Zion alone isnt even fixing this

With this much parity in the league why are these series so uncompetitive?

[zeebneeb]

Man, as a Piston fan I'm salivating at all these teams losing in the first round. All of them have a player that would fit beautifully with Cade.

Sucks Zion can't play.

He's so much better than Paul on the defensive end though at this stage of his career.

[WestGOAT]

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

NBA officiating has always been pure vibes and reputation, especially concerning players considered "superstars".

[Dirk]

Antonio Daniels is livid with the Pelicans.

Don’t make me beat you up.

[cupcakesnake]

Surprised how quick coaches tend to abandon Valanciunas in games like this.
With how bad things are going, I'd rather have his rim pressure and the ability to win the rebounding battle.
The alternative is just watching CJ and Ingram eat iso possessions and not really gain anything extra.

[Airmiess]

blowing transition layups in the playoffs is wild

When they become more mainstream... I see a lot of hate coming the way of all that foul baiting by their main guy.

Crazy stuff, basically the whole lineup is plus defenders

[azcatz11]

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.

Homegrown

wtf is wrong with Reggie

I think they learned from their past mistakes and will pay the tax when needed. They are saving some money right now...
