Jdub is a stud

Jalen Williams was the best player on the floor.

Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren are basically already all-NBA level players.

The difficulty for Shai will be adjusting to Jdub being a 1b to his 1a

Congrats to OKC, first playoffs eries win since the Westbrook/KD/Ibaka/Adams/Collison years. 2016 (lost WCF vs GSW in 7 games)!
Off to face the winner of Clips/Mavs series.

As for the Pels. Great playoff season! Get healthy. Esp Zion! Come back next season. :clap:

If you're gonna come out like this you should be banned from making the playoffs. How tf did the Kings not beat this team. Embarrassing. OKC gets no credit for me. Pelicans were ass.

Congratulations to the Thunder, big step forward. Focused, poised team.

Too bad for NOP being without their best star/biggest enigma. It's what's expected now unless proven otherwise, unfortunately. They have some questions to answer this off season.

Game of match ups.

Also, Zion was injured.

a very mature in game course correction from shai, letting his teammates abuse his gravity for most of the fourth. NOP was loading up on him and he was bashing his head against a brick wall for three quarters.

I love OKC, they don’t look like a young teams no playoff experience, they are really good. Even if they don’t win the championship but with all the young guns growing together, they could be another Warriors

I'm sad Thunder didn't have worthy opponnent in 1st round. I whish them all the luck in the future, well deserved.

As for the Pels? Lets see if they give Ingram that extension.

Sure but I think they're sneakily already as good as a lot of guys you'd consider all-NBA. I had them both as top 25 players this year and Chet came very close to making my all-NBA 3rd team.

Jalen and Chet are top 3 players on a team that just won 57 games and swept their first round opponent. And now look at the numbers and impact they're doing in the playoffs. Chet with 3.7 blocks and 2 threes. Jalen averaging 20-7-3 on strong efficiency.
