Exactly. I also feel like I prefer the Rudy from last year's playoffs. What has happened to him.

And a grittier team I might add. Wolves were ahead at halftime. Thunder weren't going to be denied the second half. Credit to them

DDV was raining 3s last postseason, has to be frustrating for him. No doubt NAZ and NAW expect much more of themselves as well On Thursday, can we: 1). Make open threes 2). Not turn the ball over I always feel seeing open shots go in has a multiplying effect on a team's game. Suddenly...

Excellent news! Detroit pulled its proposal to change the NFL playoff seeding protocol.

Cheers best sitcom ever in my humble opinion. Best intro song as well btw. To me, Cheers seemed like it could have actually happened. Seemed real. More so than other top sitcoms.

This classic is brought to mind...

Grades: Ant: C Julius: A- Jaden: D Conley: D Rudy: D- Naz: D- NAW: D DDV: D Yuk. Now a loss Thursday and the pressure is truly and sincerely on. Players other than Julius and Ant have to be able to make open shots, otherwise Thunder will just load up on those two. Game over.

Our 3 bench guys 5-28 from three and 2-8 from two. We get swept if this continues. OKC too big, too quick, too deep for Naz, NAW, and DDV to shoot like tonight. We are not playing the Lakers or Warriors anymore. BTW, let's just get high school refs to work these games. Would be an improvement.

Just have high school refs do these games.

I am on your side here. The experts say LAL and GS had less inside presence against us than will OKC. You and I disagree. The experts would say the 55 min of Hartenstein and Chet are more significant than 55 min of players off the GS and LAL bench. You and I disagree. (Per your post 9.)...

Exactly. Chet and Hartenstein will have no more inside presence against than us did Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler. LeBron and Finney-Smith as well provided every bit as much inside presence as will Chet and Hartenstein. Besides, GS brought Looney 6'9" off the bench for a few minutes and LAL...

I am agreeing with you. As u said OKC's inside presence won't give us any more trouble than those of LAL or GS. Helpful for you to point out how misleading are the experts and also statistics. Don't know what I was thinking.

Right. We get it. LAL and GS have as much inside presence as OKC. Here all along the media and also stats have been misleading us. Thanks!! (Regarding Chet not playing well against the Wolves, he only played in two of the four games. And both of those two he played in were right after he...

Got it. You believe that GS and LAL have the same inside presence as OKC. This even though OKC leads the NBA in blocked shots and defensive % at the rim. Also OKC with much bigger starters. Enough said I think.

OKC GS. LAL 7'1". 6'9". 6'9" 7'0". 6'7". 6'8" 6'6". 6'6". 6'7" 6'5". 6'4". 6'6" 6'4". 6'4". 6'5" There is a reason OKC leads the league in blocked shots and also defensive shot percentage at the rim. A media...

Just heard a couple interesting stats: 1) With their size and athletic wings, OKC is #1 in NBA in defense at the rim. Ant has struggled at the rim this playoffs. Will not get easier for him. 2) However, also OKC is last in NBA in corner three pointers allowed. Should be corner opportunities...

Lot of interesting storylines in this matchup. Julius has shined so far in the playoffs. He has outscored Chet 24 - 16 in the first two series. Can he keep that up? Can Jaden play JWill to a standstill? Keeps coming back to turnovers of course as well. Thunder aren't a great 3 pt shooting...

Yeah, also Thunder set the NBA record for average point differential this season. +12.9 ppg avg pt differential. Breaking the previous record set by 1971-72 Lakers. As u said, Wolves are likely going to have to play significantly better than last two series.

Correct. We will we have to deal with size, in contrast to the last two series. Not only that, OKC was #1 in steals forced and #1 in least turnovers committed themselves Wolves #16 in steals forced and #19 in turnovers committed. Points per 100 possessions: Thunder 3rd and Wolves 11th Point...

The numbers don't lie. See post #7. Agree to disagree.
