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

[Shanemansj13]

This is the stridency I meant...you've been overselling them. Now you're saying "when they hit their peak"

This might be their peak...winning a title with a lot of long challenging series is how it looks like it will happen.

Nothing is certain in any sport. That’s why when a teams need to take advantage of opportunities. OKC is young and they should win in the future, really this year, but that doesn’t mean they will. If they win this series, there is a good chance they win. If they don’t…who knows. If Giannis goes to a contender, like KD went to a contender in GS—the landscape can change and that is said for other teams too.
I mean Dallas is a perfect example, yes they have some injury prone guys but they just Flagg…crazy things can happen in this league

Yep, way too soon to pencil OKC in as some multiple title juggernaut. Could happen. Could be one and done also with other teams forming.

Back in control with an anything can happen game 7 on the horizon?

LOL.

Their best player isn't all that young....he is almost 27.

And been in the League for like 7 or 8 seasons.

 

[DJ Fieri]

They are young when it comes to the playoffs....that's for sure.

You actually are not stating facts. It's not a fact when you said "when they hit their peak no one is going to want to have anything to do with them"

I’m talking about most of the stuff I posted about the regular season, which is what he was referring to. Starting things that have actually happened is indeed stating facts.

 

[thunderc]

This would definitely be agreed with by an awful lot of people.

Wait a minute now, didn’t you already do just that lol?

2nd youngest number 1 seed yes, last year they were the first youngest. Next year they will be the 3rd youngest.

 

[thunderc]

This is fun for me guys, the way this team has been built has just been fun to watch. It’s just a game though, I’ll be fine like most of the people here are if their team underachieves. Not sure about Wiggy and the nerd, but other than them we have a pretty good core group here. I’m sure I missed a couple whackos,.

Agree. Things can drastically change in one off-season. As mentioned...what if Giannis goes to a true contender? With Luka and Lebron, many think the Lakers are a starting caliber center and maybe a solid 3 and D guy away. A healthy Mavs team would be dangerous as it is, now they're getting Flagg. San Antonio is starting to put together a team that looks like they could be a problem. With the right moves and some health the Warriors could have 1 last run in them.

OKC looks to be the best right now and maybe they can get the run many think they are capable of...but you it's not like teams aren't going to try to improve to compete.

And all of that doesn't include potential injuries that could be an issue down the road.

No

 

[thunderc]

No

Ok, I thought you were accused of doing that at least

 

[msgkings322]

Ok, I thought you were accused of doing that at least

LOL we get accused of all sorts of shit here

My take on OKC is not far from yours, I think they are terrific and young and potentially a multiple title team. But that's potentially, way too soon to crown em. They aren't head and shoulders above the rest of the league like the 1996 Bulls/2017 Warriors/2001 Lakers era teams

can you make up your mind....is this a fact or not? I mean, it's not, but would like you to decide.

And, no, no one is afraid to play them (or want anything to do with them). I mean, at their best, not many teams stood a chance against the team I cheer for and same like true of Cs. But no one is scared to see any of them.

You are saying they make millions either way, correct

Not that they would admit, I mean other than the occasional Gobert.

no....not at all. Pretty sure any of the top 3 teams (according to most before playoffs.....Cs, Cavs, OKC) is winning any series they are playing their best. No NBA teams are afraid to face them and of course never mind teams rarely play their best.
