That one sequence when Lu Dort went up uncontested for a Westbrookish dunk but missed the dunk, and rotated to the 3 point line, they got the rebound and passed back to Dort. Swish.......
I wouldn't be surprised to see the league give the Lakers a shot this year. They almost feel the need to orchestrate a Lakers vs. Celtics final. No Luka or Lebron and Knect and Reaves going toe to toe w the Nuggets on the road. 37/13/8 + 4 steals so far for Reaves and 32 points for Knecht. Knecht game may be a fluke, but Reaves is a legitimate third option.
I guess there will be 1 series that is going to be a blowout and like last year 1-2 series that are closer than close.
I think Shaivonte Aician Gilgeous-Alexander is the Face of the League. 20 plus Free Throws a Game is a Sign by Adam Silver promotion. He is Canadian, Adam Silver wishes he was American so they can go all out on their promotion by ESPN.
Alexander is a joy to watch. A million times better than Lebron. FT's have nothing to do with it. He gets where he wants and has actual skills to finish rather than athleticism only or launching half court shots. I wouldn't even be mad if OKC wins the next 2 or 3 titles.
OKC might end up receiving Phillys 2025 first round pick, it is top 6 protected. So if they end up with 7th or 8th pick ................
It has a higher chance that it goes Top 4......and in that case it is Top 6 protected and still goes to the Sixers. And the chances it got moved back to 7th or 8th via lotto balls is also not a huge chance. But theoretically it can still go to the Thunder but the Sixers have to win a few games for that. I am not actively rooting for that as OKC is blessed enough.
Look at these assholes manipulating these poor puppies in an attempt to be likeable Not going to work, nobody likes OKC and nobody ever will
