You can't play Alvarado in this series if he can't stretch the floor. He's too small.

I'm personally insulted by their play this evening! Either trade the bad ones or trade the good ones to teams where they aren't being dragged down by a bunch of ninnkumskulls!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I'm angry!

The series doesn't start until someone loses at home. Nothing changes when the higher seed wins their two home games.

That has literally no effect on my anger.

Sorry.

Damn McCollum playing like Spencer Dinwiddie

CJ sucks, he's a 6th man at best.

McCollum looking more like the dude that should backup Wes Matthews than the veteran star meant to lead New Orleans young roster.

Wouldn't have fared any better.

Trey Murphy won't reach his potential until he tightens his handles. Teams can press up on him and take him out of the game.

OKC looks good. Pullin away.

thunder offense has figured out everything this year and i thought they would play much better, and they are. but they really cleaned up the three point contests and rotations also. pelicans not getting as many open threes.

True. They match up better.

But OKC had typical young player nerves who haven’t been there. They had to work way too hard and forced a lot of shots. I expect a more dominant win next game. OKC by 15.

Thunder fans I told you I would not forsake you. Remember to trust my predictions about this team. Not just SGA’s rise… but many of you were low on my predictions of them being a title contender this year and thought I was crazy for saying they could be a top 3 seed THIS year and not years down the line. 15+ point win easily. Take my predictions to the bank.

Please NBA ban that damn post game interview from the Thunder.

OKC offense looked a lot better tonight. Game 1 they seemed to have jitters. Pelicans scored 92 both games.

I expect New Orleans to take game 3

Who wins?
