Series Thread: 1st Round: 1) OKC Thunder vs 8) Memphis Grizzlies

[bksballer89]

I really want to see a Denver series and I still think it’s possible. Not because I think the chances are that much better but because I like the battles with Jokic. The Thunder haven’t lost to the Clippers this season but of course they are different now. I will enjoy watching Harden struggle with Dort though.

If OKC want to make that series easier on themselves, they would put Dort on Kawhi.

I’m sure there will be a lot of changing things up and it’s obvious we are going to see a lot of Caruso at this point too. He was fantastic last night, that trade looks so good with him being signed for 4 years.

Centel does it again

In fairness…

While I won’t argue that Draymond isn’t dirty, he is.

I could missing something, but all of his dirty plays are like hits, holds, kicks, etc.

More fighting moves than basketball plays and not targeting knees, ankles etc that could cause a career altering injury.

Am I wrong on that?

Dude.

Dort was literally falling after slipping on a wet spot. What do you want him to do differently?

You might be hoping Memphis takes out one of OKC stars because Boston won’t beat them otherwise

He “slipped” but was able to turn and use his shoulder as a battering ram??

Come on

He was very clearly not in control of his body right before the contact occurred.

And he is strong as an ox. People who have collisions with Lu Dort usually come out on the losing end.

Calling that a dirty play implies intent and that is just an incredibly bad take.

Dort is on a full sprint to catch Pippen, who was in front of him. Pippen, instead of laying the ball up passes behind him to try to get the Ja highlight. Dort tries to stop and contest Ja’s shot as any player should, and loses his footing on a wet spot.

Want to blame someone for the play, blame Pippen for not taking the easy layup.
