I like what OKC has built, it feels very current/modern NBA. An offensive engine with a bunch of 2 way role players that can play more than one position. The Pels are halfway down that track, they just need to go all in on Zion and turn the pieces that don't fit into better fitting pieces.


They are so far ahead of us from a roster construction standpoint. They play 5 out. They have an offensive engine that is a competent defender despite a 30%+ usage rate. Jalen Williams provides a running mate who can shoot from outside, defend at a high level, and create off the dribble. Chet provides spacing and rim protection. Having Chet and Jalen on rookie contracts is just unfair.

They surround those guys with high level role players. 3&D specialists Dort and Wallace and to a lesser extent, but meainginful for regular season Williams and Wiggins, plus an elite shooter in Joe. Everything tied together by a homegrown innovative young head coach.

They have super clean books and tons of assets to make any move they need.

Looks like Porzingas may have just torn his Achilles

Woj says early indications are not achilles, but the way he pulled up and just stopped like he did definitely didn’t look good

Hopefully they have to amputate AD’s arm due to that injury. I’m not apologizing

Crazy that Bucks can still put up points without Dame and Giannis but we can’t hit the ocean from the beach.

Arguably seven out of eight still standing play big ball. They trot out length and physicality while being mobile.

My god NAW looks like Herb Jones right now. No Gobert and Wolves just suffocating nuggets.

Can't blame Wolves...refs not calling anything...and probably won't...until a fight breaks out...which should be any minute now.

Davis messed up by deciding he didn't wanna call 2nd foul on KAT earlly 1st period...set the tone...and it's been just a tad physical from then on.

Its playoffs though. I feel nuggets are panicking especially Murray. The wolves are not the lakers and nuggets are kind of shell shocked.

It's the NBA...things have a way of changing when they need to...I'm goin' out on a limb by predicting the Nuggets will shoot a few more than 4 free throws in the 2nd half. Then again...maybe not...we'll see.

I wanted the Wolves to fall apart in the playoffs because KAT was my favorite "gettable" star in a BI trade. That's over with. So it goes.

I have a hard time seeing Zion take over a playoff series with only one above average offensive move in his bag. Look at Ant, he has so many ways to beat a defense. Where does Zion turn when can’t just barrel into 4 guys?
