like i know they can get through the 1st round, but the 2nd? an ECF?? nah.

i totally agree that they just cannot impose their will, its been maddening for months.

mike brown will not be why this team fails.

talent wise, they have the upper hand. size, upper hand.

stupidity?! they have the upper hand lmao.

my dad is a good metric for superstars in the nba. he only knows the knicks & st. john’s. nothing else. why bother.

A year ago, the Thunder won Game 1 of the first round by 51 points. This time, they only won by 35, beginning their title defense by holding the Suns to just 84 points on 93 possessions, their fourth-worst offensive performance of the season. The case for the Thunder: There have been seven teams in NBA history that outscored their opponents by at least 11 points per game in the regular season. Six of them went on to win the championship, while the seventh (the 1971-72 Bucks, +11.2 per game) lost in the conference finals to a team (the Lakers, +12.3) above them on the list. The Thunder outscored their opponents by 11.1 points per game, not quite as good as last season (12.9), but still remarkable given the absence of Jalen Williams for 49 games. The Thunder defense allowed 8.3 fewer points per 100 possessions than the league average, the second-best differential in the 30 seasons for which we have play-by-play data. The most efficient shots come at the basket, and no team protected the basket better than the champs. They ranked first (by a wide margin) in opponent field goal percentage in the restricted area (60.7%) and second in the (lowest) percentage of opponent shots that came in the restricted area (24%). The case against the Thunder: Jalen Williams hasn’t been the same player that he was a year ago, especially regarding perimeter shooting. The Thunder also saw a big drop in transition opportunities this season. So there’s a greater burden on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to create in the half-court, and their offense hasn’t been nearly as good (2.8 points per 100 possessions better than league average) as it was last season (5.6 per 100 better). Something to watch in Game 2: Gilgeous-Alexander finding his jumper. While Williams shot 9-for-15 on Sunday, the reigning MVP was just 5-for-18, including 0-for-8 from outside the paint. This was both the best mid-range shooting season (54.9%) and the second-best 3-point shooting season (38.7%) of his career.

i've become less inclined to astrology over the last few years but it is funny how everyone around me is experiencing their saturn return (myself included) and their lives are experiencing the most extreme change of all time.

diet coke and pastry secured, i'm operating on another level

100% agree

Nearly all of them. Once you get over the “insider stories” part, there’s nothing left. They’re not good conversationalists, not many insights, and they lean on having hot/provocative opinions like the worst journalists do. At the end, it all becomes about personal beefs.

slept on a twin mattress with my wife comfortably last night so yeah i do think we were snubbed for the tiny wife show
