Utah is hype.

I love those orange alternate jerseys.

Russ should def be suspended....or some fans in Phoenix should storm the NBA office tonight

 

[Fozz]

OKC looking like i thought they would, not enough depth/shooters. My guy Melo out here looking power washed and hung dried.

Yeah, that guy definitely looked washed.

gobert had words with felton before russ came into view....was it a shooting foul ? if so, westbrook couldnt check in until a free throw is shot right ?

I believe it was a shooting foul.

that game was a disgusting display of reffing. it was clear after russ got four first half fouls he would be able to get away with murder in the second half and he did. anyone who pulls that " refs are human and they get it right 97 percent of the time" is clearly brainwashed and believes the actual sport comes before the entertainment/business.
. it doesnt , this is a business and alot of rules are bent or overlooked and they are clearly business decisions.

Funny thing is I think any group that doesn't support the suspension is a minority. Any pandering they'd be doing by letting him play is pointless

Yup. Oladipo picking up 2 fls in 62 seconds in game 2...and the refs refusing to call ANYTHING on Russ in the 2nd half yesterday was clear “business decisions” .

Technically Westbrook should be allowed to check in after a dead ball but I’m not sure if the refs waived him in or not.

Think about this for a minute...

look at the way utah plays d.....they could...theoretically...give houston some real problems.

say...possibly...potentially....they upset them.

Say the pels get the jump on gsw before curry gets back, and they have a hard time recovering.

on defense alone, utah can beat NO.

Utah in the finals.

I dont need to do the projection for the East. Philly in the finals already.


Donovan vs Ben

Spida vs Mona

Rookie vs 'Rookie?'


Bruh the culture needs this.

I’m with it. The Dario Saric vs Joe Ingles debate would finally be settled once and for all.

The **** is your obsession with trying to make a bet? He's an OKC fan who thinks his team will win. You dense dummie, have you never spoke in certainty or confidence wihthout putting money on the line? You struggling that much for a coin?

Mind your business

Don't forget about Love picking up a quick 2

I really want to understand what gives y'all so much faith in this OKC team. Their deficiencies have been obvious all year. Y'all thought Melo would magically turn back the clock for the playoffs?

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...cus-cousins-new-orleans-pelicans-nba-playoffs

Zach Lowe of ESPN.com reported the news, noting, "The Pelicans have broached internally the idea of offering Cousins a two- or three-year deal at less than the max" following his season-ending Achilles tear in January.

"I would not expect that to go over well with Cousins' camp," Lowe wrote. "But the Pelicans have the dual leverage of winning without Cousins and a tepid market for him."

This is a change from what Lowe reported was a "consensus around the league" the Pelicans would offer the Kentucky product a five-year max deal in the immediate aftermath of his injury in part because they didn't want to lose a superstar without much return. However, the report points out there aren't expected to be many suitors for Cousins' service after the injury, changing the equation in negotiations

russ should be suspended

Yup Billy Donovan needs to go. Management definitely considered it but they felt like it was Melo and Playoff P first year so give em time to gel. There’s no way with all three of these players, you should fear missing the playoffs. That was embarrassing in itself. Let’s talk about defense. Who’s guarding Donovan? Who’s guarding Joe Ingles?! There’s no way Joe Ingles should be showboating. I’m saying Melo is a PF on OKC. Why are you on the perimeter? I guarantee if Melo would post up, Russ would of dropped the ball off to him twice as much. Maybe Billy Donovan is telling him to camp out there? I never liked Billy Donovan. Get a new coach.

I got OKC in 7.

I said 6 at first but now 7.

I can’t believe they’ll fall to the Jazz in the first round. No way

Melo doesn't have the athleticism to play in the post right now. And you're blaming Donovan for defensive issues on a team with Russ and Melo starting...

 

[Lovetohate3000]

i predict calls will heavily favor okc in game 5 to try to force it to go 6. refs going to do everything in they power for that to happen. okc just has to make the shots.

similar amount of time as dipo too

but it doesn't work that way only against the team lebron is facing

 

[kdslittlebro]

I wonder what all these Okies did/are doing with these Hoodie Melo Hoodies. I know damn well they never wore JB a day in their lives so they aren't keeping em, and I never see em out and about

So Kevin Love & Victor Oladipo mean the same things to their teams right now.

Got it. I’ll remember that. Have that same energy when you call Love an “unplayable bum” because he’s been reduced to Ryan Anderson playing with you know who.

The "yall" you're referring to is a far minority of those who have faith in a Russ lead squad.
