Both lol but he just want to hang on to the fact that okc wins vs Dallas came without either Kyrie or Luka and ignore that Dallas beat them by 35 the time when both were available
I watch my team just like you do yours. If Luka or Kyrie were defensive juggernauts I would concede your point, but they aren’t. You are picking out one of about 4 games all season where the Thunder couldn’t throw it in the ocean. When a team that wins with exceptional shooting doesn’t shoot bad things happen. You know this though.

Eh….

Playoff Luka is a terrorist and we have seen what Kylie can do with the brightest lights.

I think the Thunder could beat every team out West, sans Lakers and Nugz.

But…

I wouldn’t pick them to beat the Suns due to lack of experience.

Book and KD can be old Book and KD for a series.
I’m picking Dallas in a series vs them as well. They have a good shot vs anyone else outside of those 3. They should do their best to try and line up the pels for round 1 if the pels fall to 6. I think that is a short and straightforward series for okc.

Thunder vs Mavs I think. No sense trying to compare superstars.
I’m assuming you would pick your guy, so would I.

But, individual stats says Luka is the better pg / player, SGA the better shooter.

We don’t even need to mention defense…lol

Thunder aren’t going to worry about “lining anyone up”, the chips will fall where they may. I’m expecting a 3 seed at this point.

Or the Kings.

Pels are the easiest matchup for them outside of the kings imo

My biggest hedge with OKC is the fact that they have gone balls to the wall trying to win the regular Season and get SGA MVP and likely won’t achieve either.

What will they have left for the postseason if the franchise guy isn’t 100%?

Hopefully those young legs hold up against veteran experience.

Ps. You are fooling yourself if you think they don’t want to avoid the Lakers…lol

I get what you are saying, but I don’t know what you tell a group of guys that are this young, this talented and most importantly, this together. I think Shai sitting the last couple games was conceding the MVP was lost and I do expect them to make sure he is healthy. As for the Lakers, I will double down, F those assholes.
