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

[WiggyRuss]

I think OKC rolls in this one......easy win. They are at home- younger legs than Denver...

only way Denver can win is if they somehow manage to keep it close and OKC gets tight. Home crowd is gonna help a lot though in this one if you ask me.

We didn’t ask you though

Zero chance he doesn’t play

Zero chance huh?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Ready for the offseason?

Unlikely with Gordon out. It would be a huge disappointment for OKC if they didn’t win

Reverse thing there

It’s 1 game and you got the best player in basketball on your team against a young okc team with their robin being a scared puppy in this series

Start Watson and see how it goes

Literally all they can do. Funny you say scared, hecis literally doing everything else, the ball is not going down at the moment. Happens to the best of them. You are implying he isn’t taking the shots not the case.

Watson is the better defender and shoots the same 3 pt percentage as Gordon.

Numbers can be very deceiving

Not in this case I don’t think, Watson is the better defender. The biggest loss here is the clutchness of Gordon, plus it’s another body gone.

Better defender probably but you need to take a deeper look into his shooting. AG clearly a better shooter and silly to suggest that Watson is just as good of a 3 pt shooter

Let's take a deeper dive at the numbers

Gordon shot 44% from 3 on just under 4 attempts per game in the regular season

Watson shot 35%% from 3 on 2 attempts per game

Gordon shooting 38% from 3 in the playoffs on just over 4 attempts per game

Watson shooting 43% from 3 in the playoffs on barely 1 attempt per game

Long story short, Watson barely shoot 3's so decent numbers on a much smaller sample size doesn't mean much to me

Gordon is the better shooter

The Extender! I guess we’re getting 9 games this series

Hoping it's a really good game 7 and not a blowout.

Don’t they both shoot the same percentage?

A blowout would be just fine

 

[bksballer89]

no

 

[thunderc]

no

Ok I was looking at his playoff percentage, he is shooting 43 percent in the playoffs this year.
