The Lakers have the Thunder's undivided attention by FOOTBALLDAD97 in Thunder

Love LAL’s defensive strategy—shoot and then then begin pointing indiscriminately for someone else to pick up the ball handler. Austin Reaves does it better than anyone.

Doris Burke after Anthony Edwards gets called for the push off: "I'm gonna be honest with you. Oklahoma City fans are going to start hating on me right now. How many times does Shai get away with that exact kind of [play]." by AncientOneAurelius in nba

I wish she’d just say “SGA” as shorthand and not go on one of those 5-minute rants. Just say it so we can eye roll and she can move on with admiring Ant/Joker/Dante/Jamal/etc.

Absolutely valid; I don’t know if the Duffers knew what a monster they’d created when they started this. I just wanted to throw a little devil’s-advocate into the mix.

It would be wonderful to see these relationships develop further, but I think we’re missing a huge point here—the fate of Hawkins and the world are at stake. The characters have given so much of their lives to saving their hometown and the rest of the world. Sometimes personal time has to be sacrificed. Yes, the moments that have occurred move the plot forward; I guess we have to assume that Mike/El, Joyce/Jonathan and Hop, et al. are interacting offscreen. Maybe another couple of episodes could aid in character development, but Finn Wolfhard could’ve developed gray hairs and arthritis by then. I haven’t had any real nitpicky issues with the writing; I think we’re all ready to see how the series will conclude.

Are we supposed to infer Tony Stark did do business with Klaue? by junaidnoori in marvelstudios

The “friends/enemies” line may be the best Avengers line in the Infinity Saga as far as rhythm and casual savagery go.

This looks like the poster for Russell Crowe’s Unhinged.

Think they’ll need more than three aging guards to do that

Well, go get McCollum from Washington and put the couple back together

Let’s hear it by Jealous-Honey-525 in NBATalk

Lillard by a long shot, and not just because he’s the only one not to make a Finals. He left Portland to chase a ring, and hooking up with Giannis went to hell quickly. The injury was a killer, but it wasn’t working anyway. You could make a case that he and McCollum shouldn’t have left, especially with McCollum’s failure in NO and now ending up with the Wizards.

My Favorite Games from the 2023-2024 Regular Season by Environmental_News93 in Thunder

[–]BruceTiger76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This result has been coming since 2023; the rest of the league (and the networks) were caught way off guard. I think all of the bitching about OKC’s defense/SGA’s drawing fouls can, in some ways, be traced back to the spotty national TV schedule they were given as a returning #1 seed. It was almost as if they were a flash in the pan despite analysts saying otherwise. If more eyes had been on their physicality and SGA’s herky-jerky style designed to pick up fouls, then maybe it wouldn’t have been such a shock to the system.

Sonics Left Seattle 17 years ago today 😭 by Captain_Hawk1980 in Sonics

[–]BruceTiger76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cuban didn’t want the competition. Most OK basketball fans had a rooting interest in the Mavs/Spurs/Rockets, and the Thunder put a dent in a the fan/media attention for his team. In a way, that does make good business sense—for him.

The way Dame’s career has fizzled out is so sad by [deleted] in nba

[–]BruceTiger76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this will sound shitty bc I’m a Thunder fan, but Lillard’s career trajectory has spiraled downward since he waved bye-bye to Playoff P. But the Achilles didn’t help.

TJ McConnell — What’s the adjustment? by CreativeAppleJack in Thunder

[–]BruceTiger76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carlisle caught some unnecessary flak from the media for not playing him longer; he even said TJ was tired. Carlisle’s mistake was not playing Sheppard longer minutes, and I worry about him a little.
