2026 WEST FINALS: (1) Oklahoma City Thunder Vs. (2) San Antonio Spurs

Yes, we know, you saw a dunk and you clapped.

 

Hamstring never heal right within a series.
Either he will be out several games or for the year
Even if he comes back . .. he won't be the same

Rocket River
Hamstring injuries are the worse

 

Just the facts bro. All fax

 

It reads like Spurs Fan Fiction.

 

Not just spurs fan fiction.

 

You forgot about the 40pt game he had this season and oh, oh the DEFENSE he's played during the playoffs.

I wish one day I can gloat about Reed's defense

 

For sure his 127.3 defensive rating last night definitely made up for being a walking turnover.

Your eye test is consistently hilarious.

 

I think Stone is somewhere today KICKING himself for not drafting him

 

My take on flopping is clearly its legal and rewarded so...

Any team not doing it is failing itself. I always encourage Rockets players to sell fouls and flops, it works for other teams, may as well see if it works for you. Can't hate the player.

Hopefully we get to a point where games are basically flop offs until the NBA actually enforces the rule that they should be technical fouls. In an ideal world, a coach challenges the play, we see it is a flop, and the player that flops gets a technical. Would instantly kill flopping by 50%

Right now, there's no penalty for it, so why not flop to your hearts content? If you're not teaching flopping and selling fouls you are putting your team at a huge disadvantage.

 

Oh I know what he adds to the team but they've been the best team all year basically without him. I'm not sure they need him, if they get past the Spurs, and I think they will if Ajay Mitchell is okay, will be a tough series though...but they really are that deep.

I think they are going to figure out this Spurs defense game by game.

 

To be in the same breath with a future HOF says a lot.

Can you do a comparison of Reed and Jimmer Fredette?

 

I've said before their roster this year is the deepest in NBA history. That said, when it comes to closing out a championship, J-Dub gives them a safety margin. Last year, even with a torn ligament in his shooting hand, he was essential to beating the Nuggets and Pacers.

You may be right, but IMO, if Harper and Fox return and help bail out Castle, Spurs will advance to the Finals if J-Dub is out. I expect the Spurs to come up with a solution to iHart guarding Victor.

 

oh wait that's right your boy had a really cool dunk or something in one of the last 2 games.

Definitely GOAT material

Meanwhile, I'd get open shots with this guy next to me

 

Being this is his first playoff run, playing against the World Champions I think he's doing well. Im not a Spurs fan by any means, Im just giving my analysis.

But could you imagine how Reed would be doing in this series playing where he normally plays.... on the bench?
