Did you see SAS was on Piers Morgan talking about running for President? LOL

I hope he picks Kanye as his VP.

Keep your head up little guy

I am about 27 hrs. from making Giannis for Garland and Allen deals. lol

Honestly, while I can see Mitchell being a little gassed due to all the drives and hits the guy only played 36 minutes. No one played more than 39. More than used to in reg. season and should hardly be an excuse.

That said, the reason they played more minutes (guys out) a legit excuse.

It isn’t the minutes as much as it is the extreme usage.

Mitchell and Allen had to do so much. Especially Mitchell.

Love this for Haliburton

What do you care? It's not your money he's using to possibly pay any fines

@WiggyRuss!!!! GET IN HYUHHHH!

Suspiciously or not so suspiciously absent....LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Cavs and Thunder both looking like frauds right now.

Miss game 2 between Denver and OKC?

I made this quote before that game, bro.

So after 1 game you were calling the Thunder frauds? You're such an amazingly bad troll.....do better....if you're going to troll....at least be entertaining.

That's troll handbook101.

What else was a I supposed to conclude? You're being very defensive.

What else were you supposed to conclude after being over reactionary after 1 game....are you serious? Not like Denver isn't a good team who has won a title and is playing vs a young team.....this is too easy.

SMH.

Denver won their title in a transitional year and didn't face a single team that won more than 45 games that year. And I'm supposed to jerk them off over that?

So they aren't a good team....is that what you are saying?

I'm saying they're not that good. Certainly not as good as your rhetorical masturbation would suggest.

They are a battle tested and veteran team as opposed to a young Thunder team. That's why the Thunder lost game 1 and you over reacted....the Thunder bounced back in a big way in game 2. Now, we shall see how a young team does on the road in Denver.

PS: Your fraud comment would be valid if they got swept by the Nuggets, but it was just 1 game. Damn.

When the Nuggets beat a team that's actually worth a damn, let me know. Until then, they're as much a fluke champion as the 2011 Mavericks.

This the thunder/nuggets thread?

Yeah as I kind of alluded......if people want to make excuses for them it's their right. But it's the playoffs and if a bunch of guys are out I would expect guys to play and need to do a little more. Guessing some might have played them into the 40s.

That is extremely difficult to do when you have allocated minutes all year and Kenny has done a good job of that. But guys have to step up but that is tough bc it comes to a point where the talent is more tilted over a long series. One game is one game like in the regular season. The Cavs outplayed Indiana most of that G2 but got outplayed for basically the last couple minutes and lost. I would say Mitchell did just about everything he could and was physically drained.

I think Kenny went away from his strategy to play the guys that are playing well and sit the guys that are having an off night. Maybe he panicked bc he believed in Jerome all season and guys were injured but it is still not like him. If the Cavs don't throw the inbound pass away and the refs call a violation on the missed FT...this is a totally different story but unfortunately they have to climb out of this big hole. They still aren't playing close to their best...missing a lot of open shots and freebies imo. The defense was a lot better last game I will admit.
