Series Thread: Western Conference Finals: (1) Oklahoma City Thunder vs (6) Minnesota Timberwolves

[logic]

I’m lying? LeBron attempts 9 shots in a game 7 that is team loses by 80 points and he won’t get criticized?

Does anyone but Ant believe that Ant is LeBron?

Would be nice not to have yet another Thunder thread derailed by Lebron discussion, all I’m saying.

You have something better to talk about in here? Would you like to talk about what SGA is having for lunch today?

Why do you ask? You know he would.

You do you. I’ll be damned if I’m going to talk about LeBron because Jokic and Ant had a hard time getting up shots.

That’s not even my point. It’s just the crazy excuses that’s made when top players doesn’t show up in the way they are expected to in a must win game. It doesnt even have to be Bron tbh. James Harden would be heavily criticized if he did what ant did or what joke did in game 7. We saw the criticism James got for his show game 7 vs Denver. The media and fans pick and choose who to criticize and those to make excuses for

 

[bksballer89]

You do you.

That’s exactly what I’m doing though

So I haven’t seen this discussed. How about Shai throwing the ball out of bounds at the end of the game last night? All he had to do was hang on to it. I thought he was fouled going to the ground but they aren’t calling that. If the guy on the sideline doesn’t interfere with the ball though the clock runs out before it hits the court. Crazy play.

I don't see the Wolves coming all the way back to take this series. I am pretty sure, the Thunder will win the WCF and face the teams from the East whose series may go 7. The Thunder have all of the necessary ingredients to win it all anyways. If they remain healthy, they are playing too good of team basketball to be seriously removed from their mission by anyone left. It is just a matter of time!!

Both teams shot over 50 percent and over 40 percent from 3. I would be surprised if there has been another game like that in the playoffs. Thunder had 11 more possessions due to 14 steals, that is the difference in the game.

Period. Also, Ant needed to impose his will on the game. Ant isn't paid to "make the right basketball play." One teams stars imposed their will last night. The other didn't. Not a shocker which team won. Damn fun game to watch tho.

If didn't want Lebron discussion maybe just let the Lebron mention go?

Or just throw toward the ceiling.....Also thought was weird to move time up to .3 seconds. If the rule is clock stops when the fan touched it then should have been .5 or .6.

Not that would have made a difference just seemed odd IF they were switching from .1

Would fan interference be a delay of game on the home team? A technical? I really don't know the answer

It wasn’t me

No as not really interference if ball goes into crowd. do you mean if fan did reach onto court? either way don't think a tech.as a fan could dress as other team fan and keep doing this.

Realize you didn't bring him up but why even give him a reply/mention?

It was just weird, I mean the guy kind of reached out, I’m thinking the ball would have landed pretty close to the out of bounds line.

 

[thunderc]

I felt like it?

 

[dtgold88]

I felt like it?

OK....so why cry about him getting mentioned when you cannot even help yourself?

F you with your crying bs. I had my reasons for asking why he felt the need to go there. We are grown ass folks around here, some of us anyway.
