GSW should tank and go for the 2nd seed

[nba_55]

OKC with Alphabrook leading them is going to be dangerous. No more born beta FT35 trying to act alpha. They should tank for 2nd seed, the Spurs are done this year, much easier.

[SyRyanYang]

tanking to avoid certain opponent is true beta mentality

[deja vu]

If you want to be champs you should take on all comers. Not avoiding anyone.

That's dumb, why expend more energy in the earlier rounds when you can expend less? All teams should look to use the least amount of energy when possible, they should want to be at full form with full energy in the later rounds.

[imdaman99]

Yeah, tank to play the Spurs. Great advice OP. If only Lebron could tank to play the Spurs in the playoffs.

[Heavincent]

Just change the damn playoff format already.

[coin24]

GOATbrook is going to destroy those scrubs if they meet in the first round:lol

[Joyner82reload]

It doesn't matter idiot, noone is beating OKC in the playoffs if they're healthy. Golden State isn't making the Finals without having to play OKC, whom they won't beat whether it's in the 1st round or the WCF.

Spurs are overrated this year, first round exit.

You made the same predictions last year, you also promised us historical playoffs run by Durant, and 1 week after the start of the playoffs, you disappeared...

[FPJ]

After this impressive win against the mighty Sixers, the league should be worried. It's promising that he held future GOAT Canaan to 31 points from 16 shots. Curry stands no chance, really.

Sorry, Ibaka got injured. And yep, Durant sucked it up in the playoffs last year. Only averaged 30/9/4 on 57 TS%. Also if you're attempting to compare this years OKC team with last years, then the joke is on you. This OKC team all time level of stacked.

Empty stats, his impact was almost non-existant, had to be bailed out by refs and role players multiple time. Very disappointing after all the hype during the RS. Ibaka injury? ahahhahaa, they were losing those games even with him.
Anyway, don't cry for more help for Durant when Kanter and all the new guys disappear in the playoffs.

Funny seeing as LeBron's 2 titles were the result of a no-call and a 38 year old backup SG

LOL, trying to alter attention to Lebron because I completely owned you, stay on topic.

[bdreason]

Whose to say the Thunder don't catch the Spurs and take the 7th seed?


Either way, the Warriors aren't losing any games on purpose. If we have the luxury, I'm sure we will rest some players at the very end of the season though.

Who's to say the Spurs don't move up to the 6 seed? Dallas has 12 extremely tough games left the Spurs only have 10.

Curry > Westbrook
Klay > Durant

that's broken logic. use your energy in the first round against the hardest team, coast to the finals.

What this man said.

Doe I wouldn't blame GS for trying to avoid Alphabrook (good name, OP).

[Leroy Jetson]

Klay > Durant

\.
You are delusional. There is not a gm in the league who would trade Durant for Klay. Curry and Westbrook is a lot closer but after his recent tear I gotta pick Westbrook with a slight advantage, on offense they are close but his D is superior.

[poido123]

Shouldn't teams be worried about the Warriors and looking to dodge them? :oldlol:


OP is dumb.

[christian1923]

Id take Okc in 6

They are way more battle tested then the W's.
They have the two best players on the floor
Scott Brooks is more experienced than Steve Kerr

OKC have no offensive game plan.

Warriors have a top 5 offense and defense this year.

Warriors are 10 deep.

OKC will not beat Warriors at a shootout.

Steve Kerr in one year >>>> Brooks in any year he's coached.

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Curry > Westbrook
Klay > Durant

You'd be right if you weren't wrong on both counts.

They have the best gameplan in offense. KD and Russ, rest get out the way.

Now they have a low post scorer, Ibaka still, a 6th man, one of the best back up point guards, and shooters!

Thunder are just as deep

And we haven't even seen Kerr do anything, he's just riding mark Jackson's players.

Let's see how he is when facing some real adversity

[beastee]

Imagine if GSW tanked and got the 2 seed...only for POP to do the same and get the 8 seed allowing OKC to face GSW anyway.

That WC chess match.

Yeah but we have seen Brooks get shat on over and over by even other awful coaches like Spo.

OKC barely scrapes by the Sixers in overtime while the Spurs beat the Kings by nearly 40 in regulation and the spurs are done?

Sorry but you're mentally retarded.
