Question: What are posts that mention Thunder in a negative light?

 

[B Sox]

Ten things I like and don't like, including Kyrie-Horford wizardry

[Lovetohate3000]

Think we need to start comparing lonzo to
Wayne hightower rather then Jason Kidd.

 

[friscostylez]

This is the same thing I said when I said that Tony Parker was better at the rim than Kyrie ever was.

Substance > Flash.

Shoe, we gonna need you to post the numbers for their percentages for finishing at the rim.

This is what happens when you're propped up to be the people's champions team and everyone expects you to beat GSW when you had no chance to begin with.

You don't get to be mediocre in peace.

where are these fake narratives coming from NOBODY thinks the Thunder are beating GS

Nothing to worry about here. He just needs to move the ball and not turn it over

He's basically making false narratives about narratives now

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Don't know bout that. We had a thunder fan here throw away his money and bet on okc to win the chip.
Ive heard hella dudes in real life tell me okc going to win to the chip this year. Fake narratives tho.

 

[BIG FISH]

Where was this energy when KAT had basically the same stat line against zaza in a blowout loss?

Let’s act like he was 1 on 1 vs Zaza and not being doubled
Let’s also not act like he wasn’t playing against the Warriors
There isn’t any argument for Jokic being better lol
“Bbbbut he can pass”

 

[trynafeelmink]

People love comparing them to the 2010-2011 Heat right now.

Like Russ, PG, Melo are anywhere near the players that a PRIME Bron, Dwade and Bosh were .

Bron and Wade were 2 of the top 3 players in the league at the time. Bosh, top 15.

People aren't comparing the impact their gonna have, they're comparing the fact that three players who have been #1 options their entire careers are gonna take some time to gel & get acclimated. We saw the struggle with much smarter basketball players & a coach who actually drew up plays..... so it's reasonable to think a team that isn't as well coached & has players who are more adept to Iso is gonna take more than ten games to gel & work off eachother.

Bari favoring his knee or am I tripping?

So damn Skilled offensively man

The two games Butler missed, KAT did what?

 

[BIG FISH]

He was trash lol
Butler and Wiggins don’t make the game easier for KAT at all though

 

[BIG FISH]

Porzingis better than Jokic too

 

[addict4sneakers]

Butler and Wiggins don’t make the game easier for KAT at all though

And who has been the better defender between Jokic and KAT?

Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

 

[BIG FISH]

Both are trash on defense so that’s irrelevant. KAT has potential to be a good defender, Jokic doesn’t.

I mean, how is this a ridiculous comparison? Can't figure out how to embed this for some reason...

[wavycrocket]

where are these fake narratives coming from NOBODY thinks the Thunder are beating GS

Every "tough guy" NBA commentator/fan/etc, thinks that OKC can beat the Warriors because OKC got that "dog in em"





This kind of rhetoric was pervasive.

 

[BIG FISH]

People were definitely saying OKC had the best chance to beat GSW
Now ****** backtracking lol

Potential?

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Okc isn't well coached. Lol. I told yall.
Every coach that goes there runs the same iso offense yet everywhere else they been at or go to they've coached way differently.
The coaching scapegoat is funny

 

[atransta]

Now *****s backtracking lol

I'm not back tracking

 

[B Sox]

at KAT's defensive potential. He is the primary reason their team's defense is trash.

At thinking OKC was the clear number 2 over SAS
