lol. He did average 39% against them in the playoffs last year. They had basically the same team.

Well done, thanks for putting this together

If we beat them on Tuesday, they will not want any part of us in the playoffs.

I already think we're easily the team they want to face the least in the West with Luka just continuing to get closer to his usual self which many of the Thunder are probably still having nightmares about from last Season.

Good stuff! I’m still hoping OKC/Den/GSW beat each other up getting two of them eliminated on the other side of the playoff bracket tho!!!

Yep. We gotta come ready to play. We wrecked Utah at home by 19 and lost to them two days later by 14.

We wrecked Utah at home by 19 and lost to them two days later by 14.[/quote]We beat OKC on Sunday, they will be coming out with ***FIRE*** on Tuesday since they do NOT want to lose THREE games in a row.

If we win on Tuesday, it will show that we are indeed a legitimate title-contending team

It appears that our best lineup is
Rui
DFS
LBJ
AR
Luka
~ this lineup has good to great shooters with everyone able to handle the ball. This will handle the Dubs to Nuggets to OKC to potentially the Cs.
with Vincent, Vando and Hayes providing great defense with energy. Maybe Hayes will play more against the Cs defending Porzingus.

If J.J. can figure out how to bring back Hayes rolling to the basket for buckets, things can get crazy good for us.
Glad that J.J. is trying to find minutes for Knecht because he can potentially win 1-2 games just on his shooting. Knecht is seeing/learning from AR to DFS how playing smart D with energy/efforts.

If he can learn from LBJ/AR to Draymond to Jokic (see https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/44346405/nikola-jokic-quietly-league-analytics-defender & https://athlonsports.com/nba/denver-nuggets/four-time-nba-all-star-sends-clear-message-about-nikola-jokic-defense-nuggets), he will be a very valuable player in the near future. He will fully understand and see live what it takes to be a great player.

I lost $24k on one of my IRAs since the beginning of March up until now but this win put a smile back into my face. I'm hoping for a bigger smile on Tuesday.

Thanks for that.

It is a lot better than a BathtubToasterParty
One night on Reddit some team just got crushed and poor fan replies
"Toaster, meet bathtub"
-- first reply to that was from user BathtubToasterParty asking
"Are you free this Friday?"

lost it

The most impressive thing? Bronny matched Curry's output in just 2 minutes of action.

He even messed around and got half as many rebounds as Curry in 31 less minutes. Phenomenal 2 minute stretch by the rook.
