AROUND THE 2024 NBA PLAYOFF: PLAY-IN and FIRST ROUND

[Whyachi]

5 fouls on Middleton

 

[Rastapopoulos]

GO FOR 80, DAME!

Since this time he has scored exactly zero points. And is currently -4. Talk about blowing hot and cold.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

My guy. Hope the people who wrote him off at least acknowledge their stupidity

If they did, they probably regret it given the second half he's had.

 

[Whyachi]

Portis fouled out. The Pascal effect

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Nice to see OKC's electric crowd back in the playoffs. Hopefully THIS game is competitive.

 

[Whyachi]

Thunder off target, Pelicans up a point

 

[Whyachi]

a scrappy game in OKC

both teams scrap hard

 

[BlazerBeav]

Dame is saying "fuck you" to a lot of people, and some of them is us.

LOL. One game against a mediocre at best Indiana team? Hardly a prove it moment.

 

[TYDame]

Holmgreen so skinny and can’t boxed out Valencunas

 

[BigGameDamian]

Holmgreen so skinny and can’t boxed out Valencunas

Valencunas Can push Holmgreen around like a rag doll.

 

[Whyachi]

JV 17 rebs, Thunder by 4

Valencunas Can push Holmgreen around like a rag doll.

Yep no match for Jonas.

 

[Whyachi]

TV timeout, crunchtime in OKC. Those pesky Pelicans won't go away.

 

[Whyachi]

Coach Green thinks refs are blind, challenges outta bounds call.

 

[Whyachi]

Pelicans ball, 2 point lead, 3m to go

 

[BlazerBeav]

OKC flops too much.

 

[Whyachi]

Chet BLOCK, Thunder lead

 

[Whyachi]

Pels need 2 to tie, 3 to win...

 

[Whyachi]

CJ leaner no good, OKC wins game 1

 

[TYDame]

CJ missed it

 

[illmatic99]

okc with a really lucky win there.

 

[KingSpeed]

CJ leaner no good, OKC wins game 1

That was a good look.

 

[Tince]

The previous success we had with the Dame/CJ squads continues to look more and more impressive.

 

[TYDame]

OKC so deep with like 10-11 players that all can play

 

[wizenheimer]

live by CJ hero-ball...die by CJ hero-ball

by the way, the Pelicans:

Jonas Valančiūnas 6-11
Herbert Jones 6-8
Zion Williamson 6-6
Naji Marshall 6-7
Brandon Ingram 6-8
Dyson Daniels 6-8
Larry Nance Jr. 6-8
Trey Murphy III 6-8

Neil Olshey says that will never work...too tall

okc with a really lucky win there.

CJ did get an open look. It wasn’t a great look but he could have made that. Yes OKC dodged a bullet.

 

[Whyachi]

That was a good look.

first playoff game down to the wire. 13 ties, 23 lead changes. McCollum dang near connected

 

[illmatic99]

CJ did get an open look. It wasn’t a great look but he could have made that. Yes OKC dodged a bullet.

the turnovers by SGA, the wide open looks NO missed the last minute by Jones/Ingram/CJ, the stupid challenge by the OKC coach that turned a jump ball into a NO possession and a lost timeout, the Chet missed FT, etc etc.

Such a lucky ass team. We make this many mistakes, we get destroyed by opponents.

Even this "defensive gem" by Wallace at the end was simply CJ dribbling the ball off his foot.

 

[kjironman1]

first playoff game down to the wire. 13 ties, 23 lead changes. McCollum dang near connected

Yeah he could have made that shot. He’s made much tougher shots to win games.

Dyson Daniels doesn't count. Just add 4 inches to Alvarado.
