No one is giving you a shot to beat the Thunder. Time to smash them fron the first tip.

We probably aren’t winning the series, but I bet we steal one of the first two in OKC

Okc is one of the youngest number 1 seeds ever. Thats quite a bit of pressure on their end.

I'm with you, matchups are in Pels favor. Pels are going to need to shoot well and need to keep leaning into being a defensive into transition team.

If you saw that look in B.I. eyes when he said he remembers okc knocked us out then you know he’s coming to kill game 1

Game 1 will be their best chance. OKC hasn't played in a full week and Pels are sharp from playing. I'm interested to see how such a young team like OKC handles the pressure of being #1. It feels like they've flown under the radar all year with next to no pressure.

I wouldn’t say that. They won some big games this year. The toughest west conf in years and they were the 1 seed. A lot of respect for that team.

Cj needs to get hot
7 points isn't going to get it against a team that can score.
Jonas vs Chet is the key to the series.

I'll never respect an organization that employs a pedo nor players that continue to play with a pedo

Jose should get more of CJ's minutes in the playoffs

Yup and Willie has to trust JV. When JV gets minutes, he wears on the defense almost like a runningback. Rebounding is a HUGE issue for the Thunder.

CJ had keon ellis and gabe vincent on him the past 3 games- pretty good defenders. With Dort on BI- I think CJ should be ok and make more shots vs. Thunder. Giddey is bigger but also slower. Shai might be on him but hes not a big guy.

I'm not saying they aren't good, but playoff pressure is much different than regular season pressure for a young group that doesn't have any experience in this spot.

For us to have a chance we need to win at least 1 of the first 2 games. Gotta win 1 to have the crowd excited for game 3-4. Man I really hope Zion can come back in 2 weeks and this isn’t another Griff Special because I really think we have at least a chance to be in it by game 6-7

If playoff basketball is in effect, and Shai is not given the flopping fouls that makes up a huge percentage of his game; we may have a chance of smothering him and taking him off his game and take game one or two from them.

LFG, Pels!

Why are you acting like we are the Warriors or something? Only CJ has played enough playoff basketball for it to be helpful and it’s clear he is wearing down. Unless CJ gets his legs back in the next couple days it’s a wash on playoff experience

Yes but I can promise you it just takes one game to change all that.
