The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[bksballer89]

Just watch is what I’m saying, the Thunder have no reason to change up a lot. They do have the roster to go however they want though.

Thunder are not winning the title playing SGA and Jdub the same MPG they play in the regular season. More power to you if you really think there does not need to be increased MPG to the top guys/fewer MPG to the 9th and 10th men

Not going to beat the Lakers while they playing Luka and Bron 42 MPG while Jdub and SGA playing fewer than 35 MPG. Same goes for Boston. They are going to play Tatum and Brown at least 41 MPG

These are just 2 examples. Point is teams play their top guys more MPG in the playoffs and the bench guys play fewer minutes especially the 9th and 10th guys

The thunder coach is thankfully smarter than you and will increase the MPG for his top players significantly

I love when the former Showtime Lakers talk about that stuff. They'd play in Boston in summer and not only was the AC "broken", but the windows would be painted shut. They'd show up in the winter and those same windows wouldn't close and there would be no hot water in the showers. lol

They all laugh about it now...but I'll bet they were pissed back then.

In the Celtics City documentary they showed interviews with Jerry West. Also good Russell and Chamberlin dual interviews. Those two were a hoot

The minutes will definitely go up but I think teams with more depth you will still utilize it in the playoffs, it’s all situational though. Teams like the Cavs and Thunder will not be forced to play guys 40+ minutes like other teams like Denver. Agree though, starters minutes will go up without a doubt unless it is a blowout late

Don’t be ridiculous.

Nobody ever said he was a good flopper.

Acting like flopping is somehow his fault is ignorant.

What I’m telling you is no 8-10 on the Thunder are about the same, not many can say that. No reason not to run a fresh guy in there if that is no drop off. The Thunder can play any way necessary.

Thunder fans just got to be thankful that you are not the coach. You are clueless and will coach game 6 of a playoffs series like a game on a random Wednesday night in November

Dude you are being dense, and you know it.

We aren’t that far apart, I’ll say the Thunder play 10 more than they play 8.

I’m not disagreeing necessarily. My point today is your top players minutes must significantly increase. Playing jdub 32 and SGA 34 won’t fly. If that means a bench player minutes goes from 18 to 11 then oh well

Yeah I understand, never said they wouldn’t go up. My point is starting at 7, really after Wiggins, for the Thunder there really isn’t that much of a drop off all the way through 10. Depending on the team if they try to play their starters too much they could have some wearing down issues if the Thunder decide to stay fresh.

Obvious answer.

LeBron wasn’t trying to do that either.

He took a bad angle, got blow by and hit by Tatum’s arm.

And I guess figured falling to the ground in dramatic fashion was his best chance since Tatum was long gone.

Bad play for sure.

No.

He sold out to contest the shot and closed out poorly.

You got to close out better so you aren’t trailing the player as he blows by. Then you don’t get hit by the elbow.
