yup

people keep talking about their age but they don't look like a team u look at and be confident that they're going to dominate the next 10 years. it could have easily been a Cinderella run. u looked at OKC back in 2012 and thought they'll be aight, they're going to be back in the finals for the next 5-6 years and look what happened.

When ur a 1 seed and have a top 5 player and all the draft capital why are you waiting it out to see and playing the long game...all it takes one knee or acl and this entire thing will be over....Even if Holmgren and JWilliams improve, SGA i dont think will ever be as good as he is right now and you wasted one year of it waiting to see what happened...

He going to have to cash out Chet and J Will. Aint going to have the 40 mil for Lauri.

Kiddy probably going to be a cap causality on this team. I know them OU and OSU chicks going to be :mjcry: watching all that trick off money go to another state :mjcry:
That Chet contract is three years away from kicking inevitably kicking in, they can afford Lauri for the time being.

Dudes also do realize that Utah is looking to cash Lauri out themselves and not do OKC the favor in trading him right?

Biggest play of the game was 3 mins to go, OKC up 4 and PJ Washington getting that offensive rebound off of a missed DAL free throw, and that turning into a PJ corner 3. OKC missed some rushed bullshyt shot the following possession and then Luka came down and hit the middy to put DAL up 1

That was OKC's youth or lack of mental fortitude. You can't cough up that rebound (and that 2 possession lead) on some shyt like that. DAL role players were just smarter/tougher, which allowed their stars more room to be selectively lackadasical (Kyrie) and putrid (Luka) without costing DAL a chance to win.

Preaching to the choir ive said it since Feb they should go all in right now and not wait.....Dont be surprised if theyre a 5th seed next year and fall back.
When you have lighting in a bottle you take ur chances in the moment.
Thunder could have easily gotten Gafford instead of Dallas, he was given away for nothing.
