What Kyrie & Luka wants vs What Shai & Chet needs - Official (1) OKC Thunder vs. (5) Mavericks Round 2 Thread

[In The Zone '98]

PJ Washington was fukking trash in Charlotte, either Clippers and OKC are trash as fukk, or this guy all of a sudden got better.

Better teammates

Dallas gonna win this series. Okc too young and not a good rebounding team. SGA was awful 2nd half

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

OKC needs to go after Big Val in the offseason or another big body (pause)

Dallas having Kyrie and Luka in close games is tough. Kyrie can kill you from any spot on the floor and Luka is guaranteed to end up at the free throw line more often than not

Being in a winning environment usually brings the best out of a player

 

[UpAndComing]

That hack a Lively right after Isiah Joe hit a 3 gave the momentum right back to Dallas.


Also I don’t understand how you let Kyrie go iso in the clutch, he beats you every time

OKC Thunder would have been better off doubling Kyrie and letting Luka take the last shot

SGA is great but they don’t have a reliable 2. At least not yet for this level of the playoffs

They should check in to see how much it costs to get Markkanen. They’ve got the assets and it’d be a good fit.

Ainge isn’t giving him up. Last season he could have fleeced a team

@42 Monks was the problem

Clear as day

Chet will have to find his offensive identity this summer. As it stands, if you can close out on his spot up 3s, he basically turns into Evan Mobley: lost in the shuffle (save for the occasional lobs) while his guards take turns with erratic 1v1s.

He’s a much more polished scorer than that, esp with his face-up post game. This offseason should be about getting stronger, scoring on the low block, and accurately passing out of it when doubled/zoned up. He’s the #2/future 1b.

They should've checked that during this season
That Gordon Hayward move was so useless he's unplayable

Did better teammates only take into effect the last series cause he was complete dogshyt the third of the season he played in Dallas and wasn't particularly good against the Clippers either
It's just 2 fluke shooting games lol he didn't magically become good
