:mjlol: Reggie Jackson aint gettin you to the finals. Harden did.
it's going to be funny when we in the finals :mjlol:

Morrow can shoot, but he's not the type of volume bench scorer they need. Even if Ibaka was healthy the Spurs would've still won the series pretty easily. After Durant, Westbrook & Ibaka the rest of the team can't be counted on to show up every game. Brooks is a problem but he's only half the problem.
I don't agree. we played the spurs much closer then the heat even with a severely injured serge. the reliance on older players caron and fisher was the death of us.

So you dropped some dead weight. The guys that are getting the minutes now either aren't talented enough or consistent enough to put you over the top. Health permitting they could take the Spurs to 7 but the 3 best players would have to play almost all the minutes and luck would have to be on their side.

You had to rely on older players cuz your team is cheap as shyt and sent out harden. You guys were the next Dynasty and traded it away for goddam Jeremy lamb :laff:

The Thunder have the most hurdles to overcome to reach the Finals than any other top team. Their roster is flawed, extremely front loaded with loads of talent in their top 3 guys, but everyone else is mediocre at best. Meanwhile, almost every team they face in the playoffs is better top to bottom than them, they have to win purely off of star power. They never are true favorites in the series that they are in because the opposing team's bench is ALWAYS better, the opposing team ALWAYS has better coaching and the opposing team ALWAYS outperforms them as a team.

They are good enough to win championships, but it's never a probability because while they have 3 championship-level players, the other 9 guys are guys (reggie's okay but he's not a good fit on OKC and I doubt his role would be the same elsewhere) who wouldn't even have a chance to start for a different NBA team.

Even though Westbrook is a BIG part of their team they need to trade him.....Him and KD don't have good chemistry....if you notice they rarely click at the same time....they need to trade and take all that money they're paying him and get 2 or 3 solid role players and/or a scoring big man who can rebound...until they either get rid of westbrook or get a scoring big man they won't get over the hump

If Chris Paul wasnt a dribbling vagina, they would've lost in the 2nd rnd :beli:

Z-bo doesn't get suspended and Jackson doesn't have an out of body experience they would have lost in the 1st round...

Still crazy to me how the NBA just straight up suspended another team's most important player in a game 7 AFTER the ref's deemed his "punch" not even enough to throw him out of the game...

I hate the thunder (outside of westbrook) and I hope these fukk headed shyt nuggets don't ever win anything...the NBA tried forcing them and KD down the public throat so much this season it wasn't even funny

Can't wait to watch

devour KD again in crunch time of game 6 of the western conference finals...assuming they suspend the other teams star player in a game 7 so the Thunder can advance...which they probably will
