Ant-agonizing the MVP! | Official Timberwolves (#6) vs. Thunder (#1) West Finals Thread

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

The funny thing is, replace Julius with KAT and Minny probably wins this game.

KD, westbrook and harden, and the Durant/Westbrook duo, were going up against Dirk, Kobe, Tim, Prime Bron/Wade/Bosh, and MVP/Unanimous era Steph. Not to mention battling the GnG grizzlies and the Lob City Clippers

What this OKC team is going through, isn't even in the same stratosphere

What’s so special about lob city and grit and grind grizzlies lol

Indy vs OKC finals

This is where I feel championships are a nuanced discussion. SGA will be placed above Westbrook and KD if he wins the chip, but at the same time this thunder team would get waxed by that heat team the same way KD's Thunder team did.

It doesn't take anything from them if they win the ship. You only face who gets put in front of you. Would that 2011/12 Heat team win the ship this year? Yes they would. They also got completely washed by the Mavs the previous year. Is Shai a better player than Westbrook yes he is. I don't care that Westbrook had triple doubles every night and was dominating. At the end of it he was a loser because he suffered from a low IQ and making dumb plays down the stretch. Besides KD, Shai has established himself as the 2nd best thunders player ever. If you include the Supersonics in that conversation he's probably established himself above Gary Payton too.

Also, remember what i was sayin to some brehs the other day about Ant lacking the motor of an SGA or a prime Russ?

We saw that today. Game 3 he was relentless and active. This game the gas tank was on E and he was basically coasting the first 2.5 to 3 quarters

At one point i even thought he was intentionally over-relying on his teammates to keep it close, so he could conserve energy to take over in the 4th quarter... but nah, he was just passive and content to be a "decoy"

I’m not talking about career accomplishments I’m talking about the skillset Kobe had at that age

 

[Crude]

We about to have a OKC and Indy Finals.

Goes to show how difficult it is to make it to the finals. Fans act like that shyt just a drop in the buckets cause you have names, talent, etc. You literally need to have everything line up.

Ant Edwards is Eddie Jones with baby mama drama.

 

[The God Poster]

light might really be too bright

What makes this bad is like most those type of pages a cac or Indian is behind them

Besides KD, Shai has established himself as the 2nd best thunders player ever

he wins a ring, he’s the greatest thunder ever

although i guess i understand if you’re going the whole “best to ever play for the franchise career wise” in the way Lebron is the best player to ever play for the Heat, Lakers, Cavs all time, but is only the franchise goat for the Cavs.

but yeah nobody would ever put KD ahead of Shai if you’re counting what they did in the uniform and he’d probably rank higher than KD all time too in the end

i would put this ring over both kd’s rings for GS if they won

He missed 3s he should make but beyond that I'm not gone front him too much. He played coy as hell but they loaded up to stop him and Dort out there basically getting away with playing football.

He shoulda made his shots though. That being said Randle was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy worse. by a considerable margin.

 

[fifth column]

Ant starting to remind me of Harden with this shyt.

How he’s in his 2nd straight conference finals, what Harden do?
