What Kyrie & Luka wants vs What Shai & Chet needs - Official (1) OKC Thunder vs. (5) Mavericks Round 2 Thread

[duckbutta]

At this point, i'm convinced my desire to see Kyrie get bounced out the playoffs is sustaining the Mavs

I feel the same way about Luka. I knew it was over when this fat fukk burned all the time off the clock WHILE the mavs had two timeouts, then did what he always does when he doesn't make a terrible step back 3, loose the ball, only for PJ to perfectly be in the corner, because PJ literally just runs to the corner and stands there on like 80% of the mavs possessions, and then of course SGA PERFECTLY blocks the shot, but almost rips PJ wrist off on the follow through so its a foul, game over.

I been calling Luka a fat ball hog who aint nothing but a high usage chucker his whole career and now he back in the WCF. I'm down pretty bad right now. I'm about to finish off this Martell and go downstairs and eat my wife from the back until she curl up in the fetal position and pass out. I won't enjoy any of it. Whole time I'm slobbing down both holes all I'm going to be thinking about is "this fat ass dude Luka really back in the WCF with at least a greater than 0% chance to win a chip this year. Life isn't fair."

That's how u know presti's a fukking dunce cap. He saw this during the Westbrook/Durant/Harden years and let it happen again 11 years later

OKC has another lotter pick for the draft in June. Presti's dumbass was at the combine. Instead of using it to parlay a trade, this idiot is gonna draft another player. fukking dumbass cac

They lost this series because of rebounding is the most obvious thing and he didnt do anything about it all season....I would say you lost tonight and one ither game because you were weak on the glass and allowed second chance points that shouldnt have been scored if you had size on the floor..

Presti should get way more venom for this then he will....

Shai is top 5 and I can still see improvements he can make. One thing he has to do is become more selfish at times. Whatever his obsession with 30 is gotta go. Many instances this season he would just stop when he should've went for 40 or 50. Sometimes you have to be Kobe.

I remember when supposedly black poster @*DalMem* and non-black poster @Codeine Bryant were saying Jason Kidd needed to be fired

Where are they now?

 

[GunRanger]

The chosen one

Crazy that Kyrie only 32. MF got a LOT of good years ahead of him and already got a ring with Cleveland so he good regardless

Would be shocked if he don’t get at least one more ring. He could definitely be a dangerous 6man when he’s like 36 or so

You cant go for 50 when theyre putting 2 guys on you wuth a 3rd guy waiting.....Shai needed more help and he needed a legit big man.

I always say imagine if OKC doesn’t trade Sengun away for practically no reason or anything return. They basically just didn’t want the pick

Could potentially have SGA, Sengun, Chet, and Jalen Williams

The Thunder are young and upping coming team. They got next if keep at this pace.

I‘m not going to say he’s better but losing this series isn’t an indictment of SGA…Thunder get swept without him

I'd take it a step further and say, objectively, SGA was a top 2-3 player all regular season (and top 5 overall, for the 2nd consecutive year) and the best player on the floor in this series, which featured another top 3-5 player.

And so, I dunno how many packaged "all-NBA first team selections + top 2-5 NBA MVP finalist" seasons one needs to be certified as a top 5 player, but SGA has banked in 2 consecutive seasons at that level.

That's enough for me to say he's the real deal. He definitely has some tunnel vision, but top 5 in my book.

We’ll see if they want to pay to keep everybody. SGA I believe is the next guy up after Tatum next summer for the 60 million max. Are they goin to pay max 50 mill and then Chet and Jalen Williams 30. They already looking like they don’t want to pay Giddey…

 

[Redguard]

OKC are cursed until the Sonics return.

 

[Diondon]

Luka used to get sonned yearly
Something must be done about this

Giddy was getting sonned all series. Got blocked on like 75% of his weak ass shots. I wouldn't want to pay him either
