Some one please ask Westbrook about the defense tonight.

So, OKC is durable yet injuries are used as the excuse they've never won a title. Seems strange.

Russ out 2 years ago, Serge on one leg last year, and basically everyone on the team has been hurt this year, yeah.

I said for the most part they have been durable.

Serge has been fairly durable since starting, until Beverely, Russ the same, and KD has basically played in most of the games. So yep.

Good loss, hopefully lose the next 3.

@Tjonessltrib: Dallas scored 72 points in the paint against OKC tonight????? wow

Not surprising when the only bigs are McGary, Kanter (neither play defense well), and Adams.

 

[BRule]

30 points 16 rebounds 1 assist

Team with him on floor -7

Team with him on the bench +3

Any guesses???

You post more about OKC than your own team, correct.

These are two bad guesses.

Dont be mad because im right, we all know who you're talking about.

Everyone knows Kanter cant play defense, weak troll attempt.

There is a lot of reasons why okc defense is awful right now.

Ibaka out and Kanter in but nobody realizes that KD is a damn good defensive player. Next year will be manageable with a potentially epic offense.

Why post about a minimum player when I can talk about Enes MAX Kanter?

He was awesome tonight. He's a perfect fit for that team.

Kind of what I said a while back with my own homerism angle.

Just wish at some point you will say you were wrong.
Unfortunately some team will offer him max. Tough decision for the thunder.

You called him the best free agent signing if I remember your exact words.

Yes. I'm not sure what BRule said tho

How can a team offer max to Kanter knowing he doesn't protect rim?

I said best fit and forgot lebron was a free agent signing so clearly i was wrong.

Because there is going to be a crazy amount tof money available this offseason and some teams think shelling out a huge amount now will be cheap in the future. Kanter max is 15 per year I think.

I really ****ing love watching the Warriors play. I've been a shadow fan of theirs for several years—even though I hated that Marc Jackson hire—but I've really gone out of my way to watch them this season (and I really liked the Steve Kerr hire). If the Bulls don't make the Finals—and/or if they fire Thibodeau ahead of next season—they'll definitely be my "next team up."

They have a loaded team, had them winning the title way early in the year, health provided.

Not a whole lot of weaknesses.

Other than perhaps the Spurs, im not sure anyone is beating them in a series, provided they're healthy.

Depth, defense, low post scoring, assload of 3-pt shooting.
