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

Philly is toast without Defense, yes, McCain gives them another shooter.

They are arse nonetheless, get rid of the bloated contracts of Embiid and PG13 for starters.

 

Lmao, see his stats, dude has been shooting 39% for a few years now.

The playmaking and dunking part is what he honed in on.

 

The Spurs arena sounds like it's a soccer game.

 

without wemby these dudes are super role players at best

 

Chet might be a worse offensive player than Jabari Smith Jr. It would be so funny if Jabari ended up being the best one.

 

Well, Chet only plays bad against the Spurs, he is money against the 27-28 teams.

Unique matchup for him for certain.

His Defense is 1-2 notches above Jabari's. And he is very likely be shooting 38-39% beyond the arc very soon too.

 

OKC’s offense and shooting usually goes to sh*t in the playoffs, but not this year

they don’t even need J-Dub to win a title

 

OKC adjusted to SAS defense.

The doubles on SGA is pretty much going to have to stop. I understood the idea of letting everyone else beat you but this is, like many are saying, one of the deepest teams ever...everyone else on their team WILL beat you. I'd rather live with SGA taking tough shots and everyone else taking tough shots than SGA creating easy looks for everyone else.

 

OKC adjusted after game 1 and so this series is done after 5 games.

 

OKC's bench scored 71 points with a couple of minutes to go. It's a luxury when your bench can carry a team now and then.

Meanwhile, the Rockets bench players are trash found in a flea market.

Stone, worst GM in the league.

 

Agreed. The double team against SGA is not working. Spurs need to rethink that strategy.

 

Spurs legend Stephon Castle an impressive -17 tonight in a 15 point loss. Outstanding.

 

Daigneault and Presti should be knighted as the best developers without a Clear Number 1 Pick.

OKC has never had an Overall 1st Pick in their short history.

Daigneault keeping his bench mob happy with minutes is underrated as hell.

 

Yeah thats definitely true and where his real value lies. But he's really stiff on offense. He looks stiffer than Jabari out there but didn't when they were rookies and sophomores. Feel like he should look better than this.

 

Castle a -17 and didn’t do anything but get to the line a ton

 

I would not say he is stiff, he has had back spasm issues like Sengün, sure, he is not as nimble as people have thought he was coming from the Draft.

But people also did not think he was a potential 39% long range shooter and a midrange shooter.

The thing with him going forward long term is if he can develop sort of a go to move and create a little for himself or for others. The IQ is there.

He had like the same running floater/hook shot as Victor but it went in against Kornet last game.

 

Btw Wemby only had 4 Reb today

 

Ironic how it shifted, I thought OKC was in danger of losing 1-4 when Wemby dropped 40 and 20.....

Crazy, crazy turnaround. The Wolves did a great number of exhausting Wemby and their guards.

McCain and Caruso are Gods right now.
