[WC SEMIFINALS] (1) Oklahoma City Vs. (5) Dallas

Thunder insider is calling for DFS - Dorian Finney Smith as a budget solution .......ironically a former Mav player.

 

I guess we gonna act like Harden didn't have the hamstring thing
and he tried to play through it
Unlike Kyrie

Rocket River

 

Yeah, both Durant and Harden were hurt. That season was bombed. But Harden didn't want to wait for them to heal and just wanted out. Ironically, Embiid was more injury prone than Durant and Harden combined... and then Kawhi and PG13...

 

and a 34 year old harden outplayed fluka in that first round, kyrie and pj was the difference, if luka kept shooting their would have been a game 7 lol

 

so you actually looked at those numbers and your conclusion was yup! luka was worse then pj and kyrie!

 

...

 

in the 1st round luka was garbage.. yes

cant just say injuries disappear when he plays well lol

 

ya injured guys play worse, that's fair. Let's not act like he was jamal murray out there looking like a dollar store jalen green though

 

harden could use his severe asthma as a reason he historically fades during the latter part of playoff series. Embiid, Giannis, Dame, Luka, Steph all these guys just happen to be injured when they are playing like crap. Meanwhile Harden and Kyrie even when hurt historically have never used injury as an excuse for their bad games.. And even if they did, the media would not cover for them like they do for the previous players i mentioned.

I remmeber harden getting his eyes poked out in a playoff series againist the warriors, and then the media calling him a "choker" for not winning the game lol

 

you're right, the media would NEVER trash embiid!

 

Did Frank Dux let blindness get in the way of his upping his game to defeat Chong Li? No, he did not.

 

ugh yea a 33 year old non-all-nba/non-all star in james harden got more smoke after that game 7 loss to the celtics than the mvp of the nba that was on his team lol Harden was even blamed for allegedly doc rivers losing his job. Tim Legler was on record stating that the sixers would be better without harden, yet the sixers just lost in the 1st round and legler was quiet as a churchmouse lol

 

double post

 

The conference finals have been a major disappointment. Both could very well end in sweeps.
Was really looking forward to some competitive ball

 

agreed. thunders vs denver would've been doper.

 

Pj has the series of his life against okc

 

That is the guy OKC could have signed and should still be looking to sign as archetype.
