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

[Regular_P]

Nobody was touching Giddey this season.

They should have moved him in the offseason before his transgressions.

I'll also add to my Presti criticisms that he was inactive before KD left as well. For years, they had a bunch of brick layers around KD and Presti never addressed it.

Now I know you don’t watch the NBA regularly, cause that boy is NICE. Believe it or not but not all second year players ball out every game of the playoffs.

He's damn good.
OKC drafts extremely well

Honestly Chet being too young/raw to contribute is a shyt excuse.

They don't even run PnR with him. And when they do, he just floats to the 3 point line. Even guys like Mobley and Gobert gets more involved than this. It's just poor coaching adjustments.

DAL gets easier shots bc they are constantly making their bigs lob threats, which then opens up corner 3s. Whereas OKC is still trying to go 1v1s with loaded defenses.

Is PJ back to being trash

dort has such an undeserving green light

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Cot damn what a pass by Kyrie

I don't disagree I'm just saying staying put was the lower risk because this team hasn't been proven. Chet is their 5 that's what they've decided. They're undersized but they're also depending on 1st and 2nd year players to win a title. In that situation they could've made upgrades but it still would come down to Chet and JDub to be great at a really early part of their career.

They could have made some Godfather offers if they wanted. Mikal Bridges and/or Markkanen would be seamless fits and OKC has the draft capital to make it happen.

If Presti makes some big moves this summer, I'll ease up but I'm pretty dubious on him doing that after what he did this season, especially helping Dallas so much.

Did you read what the fukk i said?

"Hey (2nd year) rook, run some pick n roll and roll to the fukking baskket for a lob!"

That's not some complicated offense

 

[duncanthetall]

I’ve seen Dort shoot too much already

I'll push back a bit and say if Presti could have gotten Bridges or Lauri for picks, Giddey, Dort, etc. it would have happened
