Thunder goin to the finals & winning the championship

Nobody left seeing them , this their year

Pacers would be a better challenge to them than the Knicks imo
thunder have the no.1 srs of all time and the 3rd best net rating of all time. i think some have been using their youth to doubt them but while they are younger overall theyre not significantly younger than the 1st warriors title team. curry 27 klay 25 green 25 barnes 23 bogut 30 when they hoisted the title. if okc wins the title shai 26 dort 26 williams 24 hartenstein 27 holmgren 23. shai would only be 120 days younger than curry when he first won.

theyre not too young, theyre an all time team and the teams left probably aint near that level, but you might be right about the pacers. theyre 24-6 in their last 30 games, thats a 65.7 win pace. or if you want to go over a longer stretch 50-20 over their last 70 games, 58.5 win pace.

lmao still kind of crazy to me how Ant ain’t more hated with the deadbeat shyt
I think a difference in comparison to many other deadbeats is
1. He gave that old ass thot a choice, have an abortion cause that was a mistake or be a single mom, she chose the latter.
2. He gave her a lot of money without fighting it


A lot of men think that men should have the same right to make mistakes as women, so it really became a non-issue for many men and men dominate basketball in terms of fans :yeshrug:

and this is why i said in the past 2 play off series thread this man needs to get back to , adjustin and gettin the ball in the mid post and workin with his back 2 the basket and stop bein so predicatble either sittin on the three point line waitin for a catch and shoot or dribbling it down hill , the whole time

him just catchin the ball in the mid, workin - puttin pressure on the defense to collapse helps the overrall offense

Agreed. Ant has some holes in his game. He has to get a mid-range game that isn’t just a dribble pull every 15 shots or something. Like I was saying before, he does nothing out of a triple threat, nothing out of the post. He’s expending a huge amount of energy for his points, because everything is either a three or some drive through the teeth of the defense. I get that Minny doesn’t have a pg that’s going to get him easy looks and he’s Minny’s primary ball handler. I know Ant is not 6’7 or whatever. But…. man, fukking Sam Cassell had a post game.

I will say, some of it is Finch too. Why don’t NBA players get the ball on the wing at an angle anymore? Like, that opens up the drive baseline, drive through the paint, or the little middy? Ant would be lethal on the baseline. Jordan caught an astronomical amount of bodies coming baseline and the paint was more congested when he played than it is now.


same shxt ive been sayin all play offs - but like u said finch has to be found accountable as wlel... he isnt puttin him in the right situations to succeeed

they havent adjusted

in fact they made things even harder for him by using more energy bringing up the ball more then he did in game 1

Facts. Actually my eyes got opened on situations like this to where I’m a lot less judgemental. Im happily married and I would like to believe me and my wife would still be able to co parent effectively if something ever happened. But a good friend of mine literally bought a house for his new family (been with his girl 14 years and they was married for 2 and baby was just born). Bro she just woke up one day and left with the baby.

Ain’t even grab nothing. Just went back to her moms in Florida. I ain’t the type to blame women and know it’s 2 sides to every story. But she wasn’t even answering the phone or talked to him until like after 2 months when he finally heard from her. Bro even went down to Florida to try to see the baby and she wouldn’t give address and he wasn’t trying to hurt her or anything. He not like that. Talked to him the other day and bro es just defeated. Like she not willing to co parent with him in a productive way. Bro said in the saddest way that he don’t even got the energy for court with her and just gotta accept his L and move on. Bro had a beautiful nursery and baby toys still in his house. He moving because it hurt too much. So now I get I’m kinda blessed to be with someone I co exist well with. Because I see now some of these women really use these kids as weapons and don’t be willing to co parent and a lot of dudes just cutting they losses because they don’t have no body willing to effectively co parent . So I don’t judge either unless they got a stand up woman and choosing not to be in the kid life. He was a easy lick for a atl thot and he see that now

The Wolves need an upgrade at PG to breakthrough in the West.

They need Dillingham to develop and take Conley's spot. They need another ball handler that can punish pressure and score. OKC's defense is ELITE, they are turning Minnesota over and generating live ball turnovers that you cannot commit in a Playoff series.

Ant is being asked to do a lot vs this team and it's reached a tipping point

Both series aren't over yet as with anything you never know for sure until it's over.

The Pacers have inconsistent players and no real first option. Hali is a true PG that's his strength he's not meant to be a scorer all the time. They really need help from some of their guys like Pascal Siakam who's a 3x former all star. It's inexcusable for him to lay an egg out there. Myles Turner same way. If they get more consistent play they might have a chance vs OKC.

I dont follow it like that so correct me if I am wrong but isnt he actually providing for all his kids ie not a deadbeat he just doesnt wanna be in all their lives?

And you got NBA royalty with kids they straight didn't claim. Nobody cares what nikkas do off the court unless it involves violence towards women and dogs.
