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

Perhaps some nerves from Chet to start. He's all over the place good and bad. Shai will need to be more assertive but Thunder guys can't just stand around when he has the ball either.

I'm just here for the wild overreactions based on small or non-existent sample sizes.

You came to the right place my friend. That's all we serve here.

[jkvonny]

OkC starts off hot early leads. Pels settles down, now grabs the lead.

Hopefully, it's like this all game long. No blowout.

Still very very early tho.

The amount of contact that officials are letting go on the perimeter has a really wide variance series-to-series so far.

[Funcrusher]

Man Kenny Smith called SGA "the star of stars," i need the pels to win this series something terrible, just for the sake of future discourse lmao

Or by player. Dort was all hands on Ingram but J Williams barely touched him and got called for the fould

[scrabbarista]

Pels can definitely win this series. That's my pre-series take. Thunder could lose to any West playoff team other than possibly Phoenix who are still kind of a total unknown and might be complete doodoo.

Obviously, I expect the Thunder to advance.

My pick would be Thunder in six.

We'll be seeing Chet is overrated and OKC should trade him, Trade SGA to the Lakers, blow up the whole team takes.

Or Zion is always injured, doesn't want to be in New Orleans trade him to the NYKs. Fire Willie Green, Pels have peaked, will never win the championship, blow up the whole team, let Ingram walk or trade him to the Mavs takes as well.

CJ had food on him and drove into a congested paint for a turnover instead of just pulling up. Ive had enough

Nah bro Chet was there. He would have sent that to the 3rd row

[zshawn10]

Chet hit one 3 and decided to Jack up 5 more

[Michael Jackson]

At least this is staying interesting

But he had Giddey on the perimeter before that and drove into help for some reason. Shoulda just pulled the trigger in Kiddey's face

[socal74]

Is this really good defense on both ends or just bad basketball?

[RB34]

Free throw man steps up

[Ducklett]

Am I wrong or does CJ kinda stink?

You really meant that ****.

[Chuck Everett]

Herb has missed 2 wide open threes so far. If they're giving him that shot, he's gonna knock 'em down.

[socal74]

Man Okc got Gordon Hayward too?
