OnlyFans and MVP Candidates, Gen Z Invitational - Official (1) OKC Thunder vs. (8) Pelicans Round 1 Thread

[KillerPups]

OKC needs a center that's not a beanpole but Jalen Williams sga and them boys gonna be a problem in a year or two

 

[Primetime]

Good win by the Thunder. I know they’re gonna be a rival for my squad for years down the road but I’m proud of these nikkas. Very EASILY could’ve folded tonight if they had one nikkas with a weak heart going too much.

Yup. For a buncha 21 year olds and their vet star being 25, they did pretty damn good.

NOP is also the worst matchup for any guard or wing-centric team bc Murphy and Jones ain't no joke defensively, so SGA will have to work hard.

 

[The God Poster]

The team has no playermakes

And BI is never beating the allegations

He will with a proper PG

You'd think this is supposed to be Brandon Ingram's moment.

Disappointed that he wasn't able to get the inbound pass or get open on that final possession.

If McCollum is your go-to scorer at the end of these playoff games, OKC will be very happy. Just my view.

Ingram's star shine went away after how he dogged it in FIBA World Cup

 

[O.T.I.S.]

That go ahead middie and 1 was cold blooded

He still not MVP

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Trey Murphy should have touched the ball more at the end

This nikka needs to stop trying to shoot from the fukking parking lot

But since Ingram and CJ shyt the bed, your statement is on point

 

[GunRanger]

0-24 when trailing entering the fourth. That is incredible.

They really shouldve let joval post chet. Ingram and cj just cant iso against dort and J dub. It's stupid

 

[Guess Who]

Ingram needs to get stronger.

I understand why they went small with Nance but that’s playing into OKC’s hands. Chet can’t guard him, you’re either gonna get a good shot or get a bunch of fouls on Chet

 

[Primetime]

Pelicans would have had a good chance at knocking out Thunder if they still had Zion. Zion isn’t missing those shots at the rim like Nance jr.

You're not wrong but you could take this a step further and say Pelicans would have a good chance of being a top 3 if not #1 seed if they had Zion, BI, CJ, Herb, etc for 60+ games... but they did have that and were too stupid of a team to be more than a play-in qualifier even before Zion went down

What you saw tonight is simply what they are unfortunately. It's in their DNA.

 

[Miggs]

OKC better be thankful af

These nikkas ass. NO didnt have their best player and lost it because they got 2 idiots as a 1-2 punch

I mean OKC shot the ball terribly all night esp from 3 and i dont think a single one was contested...NO blew it.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Ingram needs to get stronger.

Ingram needs to stop taking contested long-2 pointers and stop killing the ball movement with his dribbling for 9 seconds

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I mean OKC shot the ball terribly all night esp from 3 and i dont a single one was contested...NO blew it.

Thats because NO has great wing defenders who are long af… and they did contest them

NO always blow shyt tho

They need a real coach and to ship out CJ and BI.

 

[KillerPups]

He still not MVP

Who saw SGA leading the youngest team to the first seed in the West?

Jokic did nothing that he hadn't done already.
