With all the Ls the Thunder Nuggets and Lakers are racking up, it makes this .500 ball bs Houston is on doubly frustrating

:francis:

Mind you, I posted this during the first quarter

It’s gone from lack of focus/missed opportunities (the optimistic take for the let downs), to more functional problems.

We look the worst of the top 6 West teams.

Unpipular opinion - It's still not 2 late for OKC to package Chet, Dort, pieces and a shyt load of picks for Greek. If they really rewlly wanna dominate this league dont just settle on what you have now keep going for the gusto

GIANNIS CANT SHOOT
AND TO BE EFFECTIVE
HE HAS TO TAKE THE BALL
OUT OF SGA'S HANDS.

DO YOU LOOK AT NAMES
OR PLAY STYLES?

DUDE WOULDN'T EVEN
LET DAME BE THE PG.

The lakers gonna have Luka the rest of his prime and there’s a good chance they will never build a team good enough around him to beat this OKC team in a 7 game series.

Yeah, that move makes 0 sense. Play style, player timeline, money, none of it benefits OKC except casual fans name recognition.

Intention-wise Giannis actually does a mix of what Dubb and Hartenstein do… both play in silos away from Shai, who’s been more off ball this year.

i.e. Shai/Dubb is a your turn/my turn iso dynamic. Hartenstein holds the ball to facilitate for others, then swings back to Shai for bailouts when shyt fails.

So for Giannis-OKC to make sense, they’d have to keep Chet (move him to stretch-5) and get rid of Hartenstein, Dort and Dubb (rookie deal still).

That could work but it’d disrupt the power of friendship shyt they got going on
