Series Thread: 2nd Round: 1) OKC Thunder vs 4) Denver Nuggets

[Albuquerque Rams]

Thunder are their own worst enemy.

Prove it

If I say it, it’s guaranteed

Thunder are their own worst enemy.

Or the youth thing is real. We’ll see

Or the youth thing is real. We’ll see

Never a question of whether it was real, only if they are good enough to overcome it.

What age do we stop using that excuse?

You could see this conning when the Thunder were only up 9 after the 1st

You can't only be up 9 when a team shoots 9% on you in a quarter

 

[Albuquerque Rams]

Give me a break, Joker. That foul was pretty blatant.

 

[Albuquerque Rams]

The Nuggets are using a 7 man rotation, playing their 7th game in 13 days and are much older than the Thunder.

Yet they seem like the more energetic team.

47

 

[UK Cowboy]

Don't worry @thunderc Vegas says y'all got this

 

[thunderc]

What age do we stop using that excuse?

Maybe when they are no longer the youngest team? It’s not an excuse though.

You assured us they were

Jokic complains after every play
It’s exhausting

Yeah it’s dumb when people say those things are “excuses”. Same as injuries, it’s a factor not an excuse.

 

[thunderc]

You won’t find one instance of me saying the Thunder would win this year, other than in the prediction thread. Of course it’s not over though.

SGA isn’t that younger than Tatum. This is also the last yr of excuses for Jdub as he continues to underperform in the playoffs as the #2

 

[rmilia1]

I don't think it's their age personally

Its their experience

They have no real playoff success to fall back on and they didn't play very many close games this year so makes winking these types of series tough

You can be young and win. We've see it. But it's really tough to not have much playoff experience AND not much close game experience then expect to be a team with championship experience and who has won tons of close games

 

[thunderc]

What do you know someone remembered the ball needs to be moved.

 

[Albuquerque Rams]

Wiggins heating up from three

The youngest team in the league, just a fact. Not an excuse though.
