Okc up on Memphis Grizzlies by 50 in the third

I was really hoping the Grizz would have lost to Dallas in the play-in game. I knew what was coming vs OKC. I would almost bet OKC will be the NBA Champs this season.
It was awful for sure but OKC has been doing this all season. They lead the league in blowouts this season and they have the fewest close games in the NBA by a mile.
This will be a sweep and they can pretty much walk into the finals. The only team that’s on paper that can beat them are the Cavs. They’re basically the Eastern Conference version of the Thunder.
I haven’t watched much this year, but I’m curious to see how the veteran teams of LA and Warriors do against them (assuming they’ll meet). Those teams don’t care about the regular season and become new teams in the playoffs.
The Warriors could give them some trouble but they won’t see them potentially until the West Finals.
Too young. Youngest team in NBA by far. They’re about a year or 2 away from winning one then I think they’ll start a little dynasty.
They’ll have a deep run and fall short this year then will get over hump next year or year after. Going back throughout NBA history you have to have a couple of years of heartbreak before you break through.
they’re youngest team in NBA by far so they’re going 110% during regular season. Playoff basketball experience takes over. They will get there eventually.
Could see them getting over the Western Conference hump this year but no one is beating the Celtics, they’ll repeat. Thunder will be the next team to overtake them though just give it a year or two.
I would love to say my C’s can stop them, but in the two games this year it was pretty obvious who was the better team. If the Celtics get on a heater from 3 they could win it
They can compete with them because they can score but it’s just unreal what they do to teams. Last month the Grizzlies were tied with them in the 4th quarter and OKC proceeded to go on a 28-3 run in just a few minutes. They go on a run and just kick your head in.
Yeah, I think a lot of my frustration comes from the Grizz completely pissing away a good playoff seed by sitting healthy players, doing absolutely nothing to improve the roster at the deadline, and frankly not even trying at times against the better teams. Then we make Jenkins the scapegoat, and all the talk for the last couple weeks has been about waiting to see how this team performs during the playoffs.
Well, we’re here and I frankly expected a sweep from OKC, but whatever the hell that was yesterday was a complete joke.
I’m also preparing myself for another offseason of excuses from the front office, so that has me irritated too. I like Kleiman, but he deserves a fat F this year
