OKC has played like shit since they beat the Lakers a few weeks back.

Yea this has certainly been disappointing so far

Barkley took the Thunder to win the series in the pregame :lol:

Still, I can see Rockets going cold and letting OKC back in it in the second half


Yeah D'Antoni coached teams always allow you back in. They're shot selection alone will get you back in not to mention their shitty D.

Lines from A Few Good Men, re-done to fit FF's requirements for speech:

Quote:
You cant handle the truth, in my humble opinion! Son - a term I use endearingly, not factually - we live in a world that has walls, figuratively speaking, and those have to be guarded by men with guns, in many cases. Whose gonna do it you, you lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You seem to weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines, in all likelihood. You presumably have that luxury, you have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that Santiago's death while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence while grotesque and incomprehensible, to you, probably saves lives. You probably don't want the truth because deep down in places you talk about parties; you from what I can tell want me on that wall, you most likely need me on that wall!

Thats a better scene if we're being honest

Blazers can definitely win this series.


I was never a hater on Nurkic but I truly cannot believe how good he looks in this restart.

I can see that. I've become a big Dame guy lately.

Lebron's good. Dame is better right now

Weird how when the Blazers went up 5 with 30 seconds left and got a defensive rebound the lakers just gave up. This wasn't an exhibition game. It was a playoff game :lol:

These games are already more competitive than any collection of first round games that I can remember.

this shit of just pulling up from 35 feet out in close playoff games in the 4th quarter and swishing is insane. Even steph wasnt doing this lol

Lack of a home crowd is helping. Especially with the lack of influence on refs.

Whiteside came up huge down the stretch. Those 2 blocks were crucial.

I’d be shocked if the Lakers don’t win the series. Davis puts up 40+ points in Game Dos.

What's the odds looking like on something like shocked? 5-1? :D

Yeah definitely That alone seems like its worth about 10 points per game.

Still going with the fantasy that you can predict a hypothetical alternate universe?

Athletic agrees with Outkick. NBA ratings tanking.

I watched a ton of the Lakers game last night. Ratings are probably down, not surprising but that was great basketball.

I still think the Lakers win. Anthony Davis needs to be more of a force offensively, and Hassan Whiteside, can't stand that kid but he did his job.
