Kevin Love for 3 at the buzzer in game 7 of round 1 to eliminate the Cavs

Ouch now that would be some irony.

Why @bksballer89 ?

Why hurt me like this?

It would be just your luck that they do after you just became a Thunder fan...

That decision is going to work out well for her

They already have their First Lady of Basketball, @Shaqdaddy11 .

Dunno about that, Clippers fans prevented them from ever winning a title, now one's rooting for your team.

I don’t know how the Cavs are gonna grab a 1 or 2 seed to play a play in team in round 1 though.

Thunder won’t be denied this time around, the more the merrier

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yeah, I don't think it's ever been taken seriously. I did like that players would spend the first 3 quarters goofing around, then play harder in the 4th quarter, but even at that, it really doesn't bother me if they don't.

Right, they seemed to turn it on in the 4th, now it's just a joke for all 4 quarters. Players don't want to get injured.

Be nice to see another tiny market like Milwaukee win a title but it's still a long shot

I would be happy for him but I would be concerned for Miami if he is on the floor in that situation lol.

I think they can grab the 6th, possibly the 5th, but I think the Cavs grab the 4th. If I had to choose I would definitely rather face Brooklyn or NY.

Obviously, it kind of is for anyone. The Thunder are going to be a force for multiple years though, as a fan I have to put my trust in Presti and what he learned. Right now I know one thing, in a year I have gone from wondering if Shai could be a 1 on a very good team to wondering if he can be an MVP candidate on a great team. I’ll take that as pretty good progress for now. Next year is huge though.

Hou should send you Porter for increased protection on their picks

You have all kinds of length, needs another guy to score off the bounce, especially when shai is off the floor

He then contributes 18 pts off the bench in game 6 of round 2 to eliminate the Celtics

 

[dtgold88]

No doubt in my mind they make it. Wouldn’t be surprised if they can rise to a 3 seed. Sixers second half schedule is rough and the Cavs schedule they say rates as one of the easier remaining schedules. More importantly, they have a ton of talent. They can test teams with Mitchell and Garland off the dribble and they defend seemingly every night out.

Per tankathon Cavs remaining schedule pretty easy and, yeah, tough going for Philly.

If the Celtics lose to this heat team they need to burn it down to the ground

Idk KPJ is still cray cray. Injury issues I believe too. Not sure I want him in a young locker room with potential. He’s fine on Houston bc as of right now they have zero expectations.

I believe his contract is easily escapable if he’s crazy

But I’d have to check the details
