Thunder might have a series on their hands. Tough to tell, as neither team really shot well.

Didn't watch the game, did Valanciunas have as much impact as his stat line might indicate? Seems on brand for a true NBA big to give the Thunder some problems.

Yea he always performs better without Zion. If the Pels had Zion this would be tough.

We will see if it looks that way when the Thunder shoot the ball like they normally do. They were lucky to get a win last night that’s for sure. Fortunately they don’t have many shooting games like that though.

To be fair, the Pels shot even worse, which likely isn't sustainable either. Ingram 5-17, Jones 2-10, McCollum 2-9 from 3, etc.

The Thunder have the better defense and it carried them through thankfully.

By a small margin. The Thunder were 4th in the league in team defensive rating, the Pels 7th.

It really sounds like you want to go put it all on the Pelicans. Go for it.

Sounds more like you are your usual triggered by anyone who doesn’t talk about how great the Thunder are at everything

D gets tighter man. This is what everyone has been saying.

31 from 3 is not good but it wasn't a horror show. 18 offensive boards for NO should be your concern.

Yep

Fightinfunbags is always right.

You really curl up in a ball and lash out when people don't superfan over the Thunder, don't you? Looks like you've got a good series on your hands.

Can't say the same about Lakers/Nuggets. So far, more of the same old crap.

Yup second chance points are the only real issue the Thunder have. They ended up getting outrebounded by only 8 but the inability to get a rebound is frustrating at times. Fortunately the rest of Tre defense is very good.

Yeah that yours are terrible

Dammit. Ninjad me sorta

I predicted 6 game series in both, I don’t think the Lakers are done.

Trashing the other guy is what we do 75-80% of the time. Have to find that spot to artificially pump yourself up (no homo).
