OKC getting killed on the boards

If they had one other legit big guy I think they'd be a championship threat

Chet too light in the ass #NoDiddy

DJJ, PJ, Gafford were all bullying his ass for the first 3 minutes it was hilarious to watch. Rattled that cac and made him miss a layup, 2 fts and made him give up an and 1

Obviously Presti’s done a great job but he knew that he needed a big and sat on his hands when this team was ready to compete this year. Inexcusable especially when you have all those picks. Even if they get by Dallas, Denver/Minny gonna beat them up with their bigs

Kyrie is so deadly man

He's a legitimate human knife on the court

He looks disinterested despite the incredible shot making. I don’t know what he’s going through but there’s no reason he shouldn’t be averaging 25 against these boys

I get not spending money last offseason because who knew Chet and Jalen would be this good and that Lu would somehow become a knockdown shooter, but not picking someone up by the trade deadline is inexcusable

Seems like he kinda just let's Luka run the show and picks his spots

Doesn't seem like a bad plan or spot to me for a guy starting to get older

 

[Rosecrans]

OKc need a run before Luka gets going

Some might say he's being overly cautious. I think they need a Center/PF and a bigger wing defender. Dort is good, but someone 6'7, 6'8 should be taking advantage. Shai, J Dub, Chet is a great core. I think he wants to see how they operate in the playoffs before making any moves. I think everyone including him are surprised that they ascended so fast.

Kyrie out here rebounding and playing defense

I can not believe my eyes

Great bounce pass to dunk
