One of the most inexplicable games I’ve ever watched. Klay just gets in a zone that few ever have and goes to work seemingly once a year now.

That’s a gamble I’d like to see okc make, going to have to make up that 3pt differential somehow.

The Thunder actually played pretty good defense throughout last postseason, sadly no defense for those flames that klay was throwing up.

Understandable, I really like his rotations (except the occasional backup lineup of absolutely zero offense outside of Enes), management of Westbrook’s minutes, and like the other commenter, I credit him for making boxing out the primary focus for his bigs on FTs and allowing Russ to create more transition situations…

Harden trade or the Westbrook/Ibaka/KD injuries in consecutive seasons were probably the beginning of the end. That being said, Donovan is a solid coach anyways.

McDermott guards Anderson in that lineup I’m guessing? Have to keep Roberson on Harden

Thing is, even Lou Williams is fairly productive in the p&r and could expose Enes while Harden sits, but think what you’re posing is the best solution.

Are you trying to tell me Simmons is wrong and that Oladipo isn’t some future superstar that should’ve went #1 in ‘13, that Steven Adams was never primed to be the best young big man in the league, and that Houston has a clearly better supporting cast?

Interesting take, I’d argue that outside of GS’ guys, what good players wouldn’t? Would fit great alongside many other top players.

That’s what most, including myself, figured they’d do before he signed the extension this season, but he’s been established as indelibly the heart, soul, and face of their franchise and the sole generator of any and all interest in the team. Not sure what would be good value back. Ideally, they’d be able to lure a FA…

Not even a clips fan but that bounce hurt to watch. Love Snyder forgoing the TO opportunity and just letting Joe cook.

Hindsight is 20/20, but even still, feel like the Wizards are the biggest threat to Cleveland in the East.

True, but PG and Lance both showed up and played great.

Hard to keep a lead when you can’t hit FTs and struggle on defense. Lots of key steals down the stretch to escape this game, but shouldn’t have this much trouble in a G1 at home.

Ahh okay, so a case of even an idiot couldn’t get this mvp choice wrong? Makes sense and thanks for letting me know, hadn’t seen this one before.

Possibly, House was caping up hard for harden.

True, and much respect for Lowe, but being well respected and being a hipster aren’t mutually exclusive. His awards picks were all rather hipster-esque, though I appreciated his insight as always.

It’s inevitable. He’s been borderline shameful in his dancing around admitting that he’s an unabashed KD loyalist and refuses to credit Russ. 100% sure that KD would’ve gotten his mvp vote if he stayed healthy.

This is such a bad take it’s not even worth actually breaking down. Be better.

The way i interpret it, it’s the thought process depicted. Going from favoring Russ on the basic level of the eye test, to thinking more about impact and other dynamics and favoring JH, then accounting for defensive impact and crediting kawhi, and finally, at the most complex level of analysis, realizing it’s still…
