I knew I should have been rooting for the upset over the #1 seed, but deep down I realized I have no fear of tiny OKC.

I'm still not sure they get out of Round 2, even though the team I initially thought they'd lose to (Dallas) looked so bad in Game 1.

After this playing/playoffs struggle: should MIA, IND, ATL try to get a starting big man this off-season?

Add OKC to the list. Imagine Chet playing next to Gobert (who they should've traded some of their boatload of picks for).

More and more, I see OKC as the Grizzlies of the last few years. I just can't see a deep run. They won't completely Kingz it, but I just am not scared of them.

Yes, I had talked about that before. Towns for Chet. Bring him home. Or OKC could just draft Edey.

I can see them king it, they were relatively healthier than any other west team this season until sga missed a few at the end, and had a lot of lucky wins/ref gifting them wins at the end. I remember about 3 that the refs just gifted them at the end and everyone else agreed.

20 point playoff lead blown? Reminds me of 3 games of the Wolves vs Grizzlies a couple years ago.

Probably should add ORL to this list as well

OKC's problem is lack of spacing in starting lineup as long as they keep starting Giddey

1) it's comical when the Lakers complain about officiating
2) do you think LeBron will get fined for slamming officiating...and in the playoffs...on national tv??? Rudy the only one in the NBA? What a joke.
