Christmas Day games thread

[SHO-NUFF]

Nah, we shoulda brought Russ back, and not for A LICK OF BASKETBALL.
They lose they whole manhood every time Wemby checks in, and they need somebody in the locker room to straighten out all this fear.

We got all the on-court pieces (obviously), but dont have a vet to get this mental shyt under control.
They shook shook, and I waited real good, before saying this.


I see it.

Thunder need to run actual sets when Shai is out because when these guys aren't turning dudes over it's dark.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Yeah this is the best matchup in the NBA right now

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

Playoff atmosphere

Refs letting a lot of contact against Wemby go

Spurs brehs explain this to me

Why is that the Spurs match up so well with the Thunder? From the couple of games I saw them play each other

1. The Spurs guards are so elite that they force SGA and Jalen Williams
2. Chet/Hartenstein don't have an advantage downlow against Wemby and Kornet
3. Spurs play very physical, and OKC are more of a finesse team

All true but most importantly Victor turns every team into the same team. Nothing at the rim, fewer freethrows, mid range, long 2's, first 3 you get.

Go look at a team shot chart 3 games before the spurs, then the spurs, then 3 games after. If Victor played in that spurs game that shot chart will look way different.

Hard to win when you can't score in the paint with any regularity and Victor makes it almost impossible.

Yeah this is the best matchup in the NBA right now

by far

Williams fouling Wembanyama every possession

 

[MicIsGod]

Nba needs a foul rules update yesterday

 

[Nero Christ]

Idc what they say…this shyt feeling like a rivalry

 

[DeeJay]

Espn needs to improve the quality of its streams. shyts ass compared to prime and nbc

 

[UpAndComing]

The Thunder is offering ZERO resistance whenever the Spurs drive the lane. Thunder have no answer whenever the Spurs decide to pound the paint. Even with Chet and Hartenstein there. shyt is crazy

 

[Mashal88]

SGA prolly will have to drop 40 with how the rest of OKC is playing offensively.

 

[MicIsGod]

Chet taking his game to another level is okc’s best chance in this matchup later down the line.
