Why should the Warriors be punished for putting on a spectacle?
>>66416015
haha the circus is in town
>>66416052
Can't Spur the Kerr
he's literally incapable of losing
he even won that stupid all-time team you can assemble game
>>66416052
their own dumbass fault for chasing the record. nobody's making them do anything. this is such a stupid take
>>66416052
>>66416091
spuds legit in the most comfy position. secured the second seed, like 10 games left to rest, heal, experiment, focus, and get ready for the playoffs.
>>66416057
is he still good
I don't even follow basketball but apparently he'll play the olympics
just wanna know whether our team is just a bunch of washed up old men or there is a chance
>that lineup
He can't keep getting away with this...
>>66416123
for some reason i can't really fathom he's actually better this season than last season. his passing is still superb, and he's still moving his body well enough.
>people paid tickets for a great semifinal preview game between the 2 and 3 seed
>get a D league starting team because Pop loves wasting people's money
what the fuck is pop smoking and where can i find that shit, he's a fucking madman
>>66416109
Pop is a mastermind. GSW's greed will inevitably be their downfall.
>tfw this will be danny green's breakout game
>>66416165
I hope so
>>66416152
spurs have a pretty good bench desu
marjanovic already forced a three-second violation and adams to travel simply by being there lol
BOBAN BABY
Why am I watching this? I hate both these teams. Steven Adams plays like an asshole and Westbrook is an empty stat-padder. Spuds are boring as shit.
aw yissss
HOLY FUCK BOBAN DESTROYED
OU FINAL 4 BABY
WHERE WE AT????
OU WINS THE NATTY SHIP AND THUNDER WIN THE CHAMPIONS HIP
CANNOT STOP THE FRYING PAN STATE

Fuck off then
Boban didn't even jump
BOBAN SMASH
dang just was about to say marjanovic was being too soft and timid when he hulk smashed that in. go nuts boban
>>66416264
Well, he's a big guy
Fuckhuge boban is so based with his no jump dunks
Is Boban stupid?
>>66416367
Does he look stupid?
west is a spurs natural
why is westbrook so angry kek

Johnathan Simmons needs a jumpshot
>simmons misses FT
>then slams it down
ayyyyyy
as soon as durant and westbrook sit spurs go on a run lmao
>>66416520
he needs to stop getting minutes, if he wasn't on pop's meme team where every player becomes twice as good as normal he wouldn't be in the league

>>66416564
Hey man
>I think the Spurs are going to win this game
i have to admit getting west for the veteran minimum was pretty unfair
>>66416600
energy guys are a dime a dozen in the nba though, he probably won't see many minutes once the spurs make an astute pickup in the next draft
>>66416564
rareposting is very rude desu
AUSTIN SPURS COMBO STRONK
>>66416620
OKC should be fucking them in the ads right now. There's no way they should be trailing even by a point.
that was swagged out
>>66416620
probably not but will be funny if durant and wb have to play 40 minutes to beat the spurs 3rd stringers
damn... okc bench is garbage
david west goddamn
>>66416553
>pop's meme team
yeah, because pop can pick any random hobo and turn him into a solid player. Pop owes a lot of his success to buford's autistic mind that scouts like a motherfucker and finds gems like simmons
>>66416674
>just finding this out
>>66416674
all benches are garbage compared to spurs, they're like 2011-14 bulls but with decent offence
>>66416640
I hope they draft another wing defender or a good back up point guard. Something like that
The thunder are God awful if they're getting btfo by the Spurs d team
>>66416674
>spurs saving lots of people
>still better than durant.team
>>66416699
i don't follow OKC, i've heard that their bench is bad but i didn't expect they were this terrible, i respect Durant and Westbrook but they can't get a ring with that bench
>>66416824
they also can't really get a good bench with the two of them eating up a considerable chunk of the payroll. they're turning into free agents at the worst possible time for OKC.
IBLOCKA
ugh switching to daylight saving time in five minutes

Official Thunder Roster Power Ranking.
1. KD
2. Westbrook
POWER GAP
3. Adams (Defensive Center)
4. Kanter (Offensive Center)
5. Ibaka (Past his prime as far as I can see)
POWER GAP
6. Waiters (His game is seasonal and can turn from good to bad in an instant)
7. Randy Foye (Old)
POWER GAP
8. Nick Collison (Doesn't get time at all)
9. Robertson (Isn't Singler, so that's a plus)
10. Cameron Payne (To young)
11. Anthony Morrow (Needs to get more time)
12. Josh Huestis (Promising, let's see what happens)
13. McGary (Wasted pick, I can't believe he isn't selling cars or playing in some bumfuck foreign country right now)
14. Kyle Singler (Peaked in College, needs to be traded)
15. Nazr Mohammed (Retire again)
>>66416950
Thunder were outplaying them until Waiters came in and sucked the life out of everything
>>66416919
thanks
>>66416879

Westbrook reminds me of Kobe in a league that has evolved past that shit.

How real is the possibility of Durant leaving after this season?
>>66417043
almost zero, financially he is better off signing a 1 year deal with OKC and signing a new contract after the next CBA
>>66417043
It really depends on a lot of things. If OKC can heroball their way past the Spurs/Warriors and make the Finals again, Durant will definitely stay. They don't even need to win the championship, if they can make it out of the West that will give Durant enough hope to stay. If they don't at least make the WCF, he probably will not stay. Where he goes to depends on if the Warriors repeat or not. If they win another championship this year I could genuinely see him going to the Warriors. If they don't win then he could go to Washington because >muh homecoming or Boston because they're elite in all facets of the game but they're missing a superstar to chuck shots all game, which is perfect for KD.
Personally I think the Thunder are going on a deep playoff run this season and even if they don't win it all KD will stay.

>#leanintogheter
Fuck sake, what inequality are you even talking about?
>>66417019
>???. Huestis
He was a low first round pick they convinced to play in the D league instead of getting a rookie contract because they wanted to save money and avoid the salary cap.
He's got his would be rookie contract money then some and it was a move that was seen as being smart, a possible new trend in the NBA, and also controversial.
People usually stash low first round picks in the euro league to get development on someone else's money.
The D League salary is payed directly by the NBA and not owners so they save money by not developing him themselves while having them listed under their roster or payroll.

considering westrbook and ibaka's FA status in 2017 and the fact that they've got fuck all else and no chance to beat warriors/spurs I'd say its pretty real.
>>66417178
>>66417195
Oh, alright, guess I just got things mixed up. Thanks for clearing that up guys.
>>66417043
i think durant might be taking a good hard look at aldridge. aldridge left money on the table too, but he's visibly happy.
We also need to factor this into KD's free agency decision:

>he doesn't clown his teammates on twitter

Pop should get fined. It's two thumbs up to the fans who pay good money to watch these teams play to the best of their capabilities. It's a joke, it really is.
i've seen those moves before
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zIDiHXvhOY
>>66417323
and the home team is in a shit situation because even if they bench everybody in protest the only ones it hurts is their fans
>>66417323

If I flew over to watch a game between two elite power houses only to find out the coach rested 4 of his best players rendering the meeting an exhibition game I would absolutely demand a refund
>>66417372
Confirmed for never leaving your storm shelter
>>66417389
>implying OKC is an "elite powerhouse"
>>66417389
Don't be a dummy, you'd know the spurs are playing a back to back with the postseason approaching, this was highly predictable
>>66417389
so what
>>66417395
Too busy waiting it out with your mom ;)
>>66417389
and the NBA should make RC Buford pay for it
>>66417389
if the players were legit hurt would that make you happier? either way you're not watching them. if you were flying out here to see a game like that then you should just wait for the playoffs
>black guy losing to white guy in shooting hoops

Okay, so San Antonio has ONE thing
That's still one more thing than OKC has

yo i need boban to dominate. he's got all the tools and assets but he's still way timid.
>>66417586
He'll learn. Kawhi learned.
>>66417586
He needs to get DEEP in the paint
Westbrook jammin' so hard, stream stutters
>>66417565
>It's a Westbrook goes beast mode and slices through the defense for a dunk episode
>>66417586
Needs to develop a good post game to become dominant
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
>>66417631
not even that, he just has to be aware that virtually no one can stop him from dunking if he's within 4 feet of the rim
>game is pointless blowout because Spurs rested healthy players
and people blame the Warriors for ruining basketball
>>66417644
>Harden just stands there looking
>>66417659
well 1, 2, and 3 seeds in the west are locked up. no point really desu. pop was just experimenting. that said, winning is obviously better than losing
>>66417660
I do wish more dunks were contested. It's one thing when they barrel at the rim and you don't get there in time, but when you're right there why not go up for a block?
If you get a foul call, maybe they miss their free throws. That's two maybe points vs two guaranteed points, it seems like a fair risk to take.
Boban gotta score them baskets man
>>66417687
3/4 isn't locked up yet, Clippers are understandably pissed about this game
>>66417700
First for rare flag
>>66417660
>Harden playing D
>ever
Will post better ones later
>>66417708
kek fuck the clippers. they match up well against the warriors desu....all part of his master plan..
>>66417737
>blunder of the century they said
matching Kanter's offer from Portland was a bigger mistake than trading Harden for a one year rental of Kevin Martin and the draft pick that turned out to be Steven Adams
I'm gonna go on a bit of a limb here and say Russel Westbrook is the best player in the league when it comes down to transition and capitalizing on bad defense. Having a player like him in games where you're starting to get a hold of a game is such a great way to blow out teams. Instead of slowing down he goes keeps going hard to the rim and that shit will kill the opponents morale and spirit.
>>66417708
Fuck the Clippers, the Clippers don't deserve anything nice.

Bulls didn't rest at the end of their 72-10 season.
Closest team was 60-22.
Could have rested for the last 6 games at least.
