You can say what you want about the guy but that's pretty dang consistent. I'm sure the PEDs don't hurt.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 20 (3/4 - 3/10/24)
Dean Wade just had a 20 point 4th Q, including the go ahead put back dunk and Cleveland beat Boston…they were down about 20 at one point in the 4th
Re: Around the NBA: Week 20 (3/4 - 3/10/24)
Helluva ending in Cleveland, refs did their best to ruin it lol.
Re: Around the NBA: Week 20 (3/4 - 3/10/24)
At least they overturned that absolutely garbage foul call
Re: Around the NBA: Week 20 (3/4 - 3/10/24)
It should have been a foul on Tatum, twice the same play, imo.

I watched the last 5 minutes starting with the Celtics up 10. That was great to see. D Wade is back, baby!

I just hoped they learned from their Harden mistake.
Re: Around the NBA: Week 20 (3/4 - 3/10/24)
The Thunder might be a great regular season team that has trouble in the playoffs. Not big enough up front.
Re: Around the NBA: Week 20 (3/4 - 3/10/24)
Ya they are ripe for a 1st round exit. Assuming everyone is healthy I think Dallas, LAL, and PHX would all beat OKC. I’d probably pick OKC over Sacramento or NOP. I think 2nd round is there ceiling.
Re: Around the NBA: Week 20 (3/4 - 3/10/24)
I am more positive on the Thunder than this. I think OKC would beat most teams in the west other than maybe Denver or LAC. I think they'd beat us in a series, ditto the other teams like DAL, LAL, SAC, NOP. But we'll have to wait and see, since they are so young there isn't much to go on other than this regular season and hunches.
Re: Around the NBA: Week 20 (3/4 - 3/10/24)
They have not fared well against Dallas and LAL this year. They’ve lost their last 4 against those 2. They are just too small for the Lakers…Dallas steamrolled them in Gafford and PJ Washington’s first game with Dallas. I think those are bad matchups.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 2:06 pmI am more positive on the Thunder than this. I think OKC would beat most teams in the west other than maybe Denver or LAC.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 20 (3/4 - 3/10/24)
What's too bad about our underwhelming season is that the league really is wide open. There's no dynasty, no juggernaut team. Several teams are very good, like the Nuggets, Celtics, etc. But nobody is truly terrifying. This would be a great year for our Suns to have a dominant team and roll to a title. But we can't stop from tripping over our own feet.
