The 2023-2024 NBA Season

To be expected when your lone starting "big" weighs 130 lbs

9 games better, all that matters.

In a west playoff series, having him at the 5 is only an issue against the Lakers and Nugz.

Maybe the Wolves, if KAT doesn’t play like a bitch.

Everyone else?

Meh

You know better than this.

It matters for the Thunder because they don't really have playoff experience and will need HCA.

However, it really doesn't matter for the Lakers because they have a lot of playoff experience and are built more for the playoffs where the game slows a bit and the refs are more likely to swallow their whistles.

Nurk had what....30 boards?

Phoenix got better trading Ayton and adding Nurk.

That was such a good move.

I would play biyombo some more vs the bigger teams

Yep....

Not to mention if things were reversed he would be saying head to head is all that matters. Earlier this season when the Thunder got their lone win .....he was saying, "Scoreboard!"

LOL.

Yeah, he ain't quite that skinny...lol

But AD and Rui were the main ones going against him. AD has 60 lbs and Rui has 40 on The Big Amish.

If he can just put on maybe 20-30 more pounds...he's gonna be a real problem. Not that he isn't already. lol

Right now it truly doesn’t matter. Get home court and go from there. I’m not going to hear comparisons to other teams, every team is different. We don’t know anything until it happens.

The Thunder won.

He had 30 fucking boards and…..L

 

[Mecca]

Nurk had what....30 boards?

….and they still lost.

Yea, not having Book was a factor.

But, let’s not act like Nurk is Embiid based on a single game.

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah, he can at least bang a bit with the bigger guys. I was surprised that they didn't go to him sooner than mop up minutes last night. Maybe because he's only been with them a few games?

Home court is great.

But, they have already proven they can beat the Thunder in OKC.

Sub 8 boards a game is trash for a starting Center.

But, I’m not going along with the Chet narrative against any team outside The Lakers and Denver.

LOL.

Did he?

Devils advocate, he does talk up regular season accomplishments to a ridiculous degree.

They aren’t even the best shooting team this year, let alone doing some historical shit.

But, he does have a point.

I will speak for myself and say that my Thunder narrative has been….

Who gives a fuck about going balls out in the regular Season.

Means nothing when the playoffs start.

From then on, winning nine more games means fuck all, just like winning a season series.

FFS, do we not remember Lebron vs the Raptors?

None of that shit helped when the real games began.

#Lebronto

Just like none of Sactos wins could save them from the Dubs.

Which is exactly why I would take the Lakers in a playoff series.

Horrible matchup for the Thunder.

No Book

you're up in fantasy sir

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Ayton doesn't give a shit

I agree

 

[Mecca]

No Book

Concede.

Huge factor.

But, that was a once in a lifetime stat line for Nurk.
