What are the Thunder's ceiling with Paul George added?

[Leavingtheecstasy]

Russ thrived last year in the clutch because he literally got to do whatever the fukk he wanted, his usage was crazy, it's what he had to do.

That 30 footer against Denver was pure BS lol.

Historically though he's not a clutch player. Bad elimination game performances, terrible shooter with game on line, meltdowns with T.O.'s and bad shot selection down stretch (jacking early in clock, forcing things), fouls/missed rotations gambling in crucial spots, sometimes he would shrug off KD.

Oh come the fukk on lol

Russ thrived in the clutch because he had to do it all?

That makes sense. Being double and triple teamed in the clutch was easier because he didn't pass and everyone knew he was taking the shot?

He's made shots like denvers all year.

Unless the shot against the magic, Dallas, and the jazz was pure BS as well then I'd say he knew at least somewhat what he was doing. It was prolly a bit of luck, but it took a fukk ton of heart to put that in the basket on some Kobe shyt.

It makes sense he got better with the usage he had but he's not gonna suddenly regress to being a garbage clutch player.

he's prolly learned a lot from having to do every single thing and I'm sure he's gonna be a shytton more thankful to have a great player beside him again.

You're assuming I hate them which isn't true.

I liked their team before Durant because of obvious league fukking reasons.

Who wouldn't want them to at least downgrade a bit lmao?

Ask everyone who's a big fan of a team not named the warriors and ask them if they want the warriors to steamroll everybody for 5 years?

Their bench won't be better than it is this year, you're assuming they will always have good role players as if no one has ever suffered a major injury and never come back or just got worse the following year.

They ain't gonna dominate for 5 more years. It's not happening. The next two? Yeah I can agree with that, but it's crazy to think they will just have an unprecedented run when they've won once together with the core they have.

Every fan of a superteam assumes theirs will be the one that just fukks the league forever and the best one ever.

It hasn't happened yet. So hold off on saying yeah they'll dominate so long until they at least get a couple more.

Hoping that they deal with injuries complaining about the addition of Durant being unfair for the league and being in denial about them dominating for the next 5 years saying they only have 2 left let's me know you hate themyou a Thunder fan of course you a Warriors hater you claim you liked them before Durant but YOUR team had Durant once he ditched yall for them you became a huge hater like every other OKC fan. It's a difference between wanting them to downgrade and trying to speak it into existence at the risk of being delusional, I ain't say I want them to steamroll everybody but I'm being real about it role players and aging vets always ring chase they won't have problems finding bench players and could easily have a better bench saying otherwise is more denial.

You're saying they've only won together once with this core as if they've been together for yearsthey've only had this core together for a year and they won right away, it's not crazy to think they'll have an unprecedented run everyone thinks that which is why you and everyone else has been hating on them so hard and being livid saying this team in and of itself is unprecedented. They have 2 top 4 at worst superstars in their prime with a top 10 player and a top 15 player, those include the 2 greatest shooters in history I'm not even a fan of this superteam I'm a realist every hater of a superteam assumes (hopes) their run will get cut short.

Quit exaggerating with the hyperbole I didn't say they'd be the best ever and 5 years isn't fukking the league forever, like I mentioned the Lakers had a run like that the only reason they didn't win more than the 3 peat is because of huge egos which this team doesn't have so it's common sense to think they will be dominant for 5 years. I'm not even saying they're gonna win 5 but they're gonna be in the Finals LeBron was there 7 straight times which is unprecedented and he's just 1 player, they already won a couple including 1 before Durant and 1 after while making it to the Finals the last 3 years so there's no need to wait before stating the obvious.

This literally a bunch of strawman and petty debating. After that first paragraph i just ain't wanna hear anymore BS you writing

It's literally facts and the petty debating is from you constantly coming back with bullshyt to defend your hate, just say you hate the Warriors and KIM not like most of this site don't feel the same as you do about them.

 

[ItzDaKiing]

Lmao at you not even considering it.

You on them good drugs if you think okc getting the second seed

 

[Leavingtheecstasy]

They good but not that good.

The team is significantly better than the stagnant youngins they had last year.


they have a top 3 defensive lineup and two superstars.

They wcf bound and I could easily see them top 3 seed possibly 2

3rd seed is a possibility, but I still have spurs or Houston at that spot... Okc i think will be the 4th seed. Definitely not no damn 2nd! Y'all overrating that team already.

Edit: this nikka said WCF, nikka put the crackrocks down, get some help

You have no argument except nikka YOU BRAZZYYYY

Cuz nikka, you crazy! That's all the argument needed.

 

[4-Rin]

I don't see OKC finishing as 2nd seed. I'd give them 3rd seed at best. Their ceiling is the same as most teams in the west unless the Dubs get injured.
