The Thunder can’t be loving serious. The league needs to step in and do something again. No way should another teams bench + g leaguers be beating you by 50 points.

Portland and OKC have been trotting out some real dire lineups.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Is the Westbrook trade the worst trade in NBA history? It has to be up there, right? In how badly it turned out, in how impossible it is and will be to move, in the amount of damage it does to team flexibility right now in dead cap space, in how poor of a fit he ended up being, in how much of an apparent locker room poison he is to the point where it seems like a near-impossibility to keep him just as a matter of course, in the amount of damage it’s done to a contending team, in the amount of damage it will do to their future. Like…the only contender I can think of is some of the Knicks trades made in the mid 2000s, but that was to a team that was on its way out, not in the supposed prime of its championship window.

You're forgetting about the 80s and 90s. Joe Barry Carroll and Ricky Brown for McHale and Parrish, the Barkley trade, etc.

To be fair to Doc, Bball Paul put up big numbers against Luka Garza and the Bad News Benchwarmers. I don't think that's a good metric for determining NBA playoff minutes.

Jordan cant do that. He can barely move at this point

Yeah I've had a habit of watching for DJ's activity when he's playing and this type of poo poo is typical. He doesn't even have any fundamentals or veteran tricks to compensate, he's often just kinda watching the ball. I'd almost prefer Millsap, who's also terrible but at least tries to fight for position, box out, create space, etc. The teams defense looks noticeably worse when DJs on.

It's not really about Reed as much as it's about playing well-done Jordan over anyone else.

The Raptors better not go up 3-1 against Philly and suffer a Doc Rivers reversal of fortune collapse

The NOLA Jazz traded away the pick that would have been Magic Johnson for some used coffee grounds, iirc

Lol at demanding the league to step in to stop the thunder from succeeding
I just think there should be a veneer of professionalism that protects us from watching guys that should not be on the court in an NBA game. They could have lost the game with their bench.

Playing fringe G League guys 45 minutes is absurd in the true definition of the word. I couldn’t believe my eyes lmao

Bad news, it’s not March any more. I made a playoff n/v thread.

For the record brolic is right. Also brolic changes to bellicose with my autocorrect and that’s delightful IMO.
