@PlayoffBoundNYK@JamesIsSleep@Elon0wnsMe Bridges did take a pay cut. He’s also the 4th highest player on the team. Like come on we’re still on this after the title?
@SamQuinnCBS What do you think of the fact that if Thunder win 60+ games for the 3rd straight year then they’ll be in a class with only Kareem’s Bucks, Bird’s Celtics, Magic/Kareem’s Lakers, Jordan’s Bulls, and Curry’s Warriors?
@MyNBADrakeBull1@pein556@kawhi_ring@HoodiiBron Some bad coaching but mostly youth. This happened with the 95 Magic and 86 Rockets. Don’t know the grind of a long season which tires you out which causes mental lapses. That’s why they were always able to come out hot and after that fatigue set in
@MyNBADrakeBull1@kawhi_ring@HoodiiBron So the same thing kept happening so by game 5 shouldn’t the spurs have been to stop it? They were never going to win the series let alone sweep
@iamrahstradamus Teams to win 60+ games 3 straight seasons. 71-73 Bucks, 80-82 Celtics, 84-86 Celtics, 85-88 Lakers (4 straight), 96-98 Bulls, 15-17 Warriors. Thinking about betting the Thunder to win less than 60games this season. Thoughts?
@bigal_com@HPbasketball 12 Thunder, 95 Magic, & 86 Rockets. They lost in the finals and didn’t make it back the following year. Young teams don’t make it back the following year. I’m not sure if it’s attrition from their first real run in the playoffs or youth makes them take it for granted
@iamrahstradamus Yea Sampson got hurt in 87. Makes me wonder was it the finals run + short offseason that caused the injuries or just a coincidence. Have to wait and see
@iamrahstradamus Check out the history of young teams making the finals (86 Rockets, 95 Magic, & 12 Thunder). None of them make it back the next year. I expect the Spurs to be really good in the regular season and lose before the finals. Something to remember for the playoffs
@SpecialPuppy1@lamarjimmerson@KuKhahil Brunson scored 45 of 94 points in a finals close out road win and they needed him to. That Harden graphic is for win or go home games. So again if you think he’s more talented fine. I would just rather have the guy who comes up big when it matters most.
