If anything I feel OKC is playing with house money. If they win it would be an incredible next step for them. If they lose the story will be that they are a young team and will be great for years to come, it was their first playoff run etc. I don't think anyone would fault OKC if they lost. I am not saying Luka is a bum but if he loses this series he will be a great regular season player. He now has another hof player whom has won a championship so there shouldn't be all these excuses.

I think it is one of those rare situations where there aren’t really expectations for either team.

Can’t “expect” Dallas to win because they were a 5 seed. Can’t have super high expectations for OKC because it is there first time trying to make a real playoff run.

So I actually think both are playing with house money.

The only team that really has expectations in the West is Denver. And they look like they are on their way out.

Maybe but I think wiser heads will prevail and they’ll just play basketball

War?

 

[thunderc]

War?

Just watch the difference in intensity from the opening tip compared to this game on now. It’s going to be a war every second of every game.

 

[thunderc]

Let’s go!!!!

 

[thunderc]

You tell em Chuck, just as good offensively and better defensively.

I honestly don’t know if we will ever know if he is or not, that’s just how he does.

[thunderc]

No lol. He is definitely not healthy

Ever since he came into the league that’s how he does

Daigneault is stubborn still playing Heyward a few minutes even though he won’t shoot wide open shots.
