:roll::roll::roll::roll:

Out of curiosity, why are people seeming hesitant to call it what it is with OKC? Not that this game confirms anything really..but net rating wise this is literally the best team in the history of basketball. And in a loaded West..

Not to say they’ll definitely win the title, but I was surprised to see almost no one picking them.

The moron just got obliterated.

Easy.

Lack of experience. That’s about it.

And the concern that they may not have something to go to if SGA isn’t getting calls.

Mainly the experience though. I think they will do well and run into some issues down the way and end up losing. Then figure some things out and potentially nothing will be stopping them next year.

And I am pretty sure they are still Vegas favorites to win it all this year right?

I think it’s

OKC
Boston
Cleveland
Lakers
Warriors

Yea they are favorites but I was just talking about on ISH.

Idk I feel like last year was their slip up and then get hungry and better. They’re here now. I’d honestly be more surprised if they didn’t win the title than if they went like 16-3 in the playoffs.

[QUOTE=FKAri;14994197]His talent goes well beyond his athleticism. He has great creativity and finishing ability in general. He just hasn't put it all together.[/QUOTE] I'm not saying he has no skill but the special part of his game is that he's basically a track athlete (with some basketball skills).

Hoping this series will go into a sweep by the thunder. Would be an 'in-your-face' moment to morant the moronic. :lebronamazed:

SGA has started poorly again and again it's not making a difference :oldlol:

I think it's pretty clear Presti is the best GM in basketball and he has been for a long long time.

I still don't think OKC gets it done this year but they should probably have a 10 year stretch of dominance coming up, barring injuries.

10 ****ing years this shit should last. Maybe more. How many picks do they still have? I know he amassed picks for years.

OKC has a pick swap with Dallas coming up in 2028. That might be the first pick in the draft.

Who knows? They might become the next spur dynasty where they make the postseason for more than 10 times in a row.

Jalen Williams will be a top 10 player within 3 years. He's insanely good and high IQ. Will have a Harden-esque emergence.

This team is a dynasty. They're winning 3 of the next 5 titles

Them and Boston are the favorites. Then there's 4 other teams that might be surprises (all on the West).
