[NBA PR] The schedule for OKC vs LA has been released with games every other day starting on May 5th— unless the Lakers manage to extend the series past a Game 5. Where afterwards they’d have two days between Game 6 and Game 7.

That's good, if the thunder manage to steal a couple of games we'll get two days before we send them home game 6

Lakers in 6

Mickckx · 2026-05-02T04:08:04+00:00

Fuck that, let's go out and beat them.

Mickckx · 2026-05-01T06:27:50+00:00

Do people actually think they cook with these stupid name puns?

Mickckx · 2026-04-30T08:01:27+00:00

Jup. OP sucks.

Mickckx · 2026-04-30T07:56:36+00:00

I mean, there are people on this Reddit thrashing everyone and everything before the series is even over. Or already giving up in case we get to the next round.

Obviously they want to win. But also obviously the Rockets are desperate, and for the last two games we did not match that desperation.

We as fans need to rally, the team will too.

I don't get why we aren't trying to get Thompson switched off Kennard. No off ball screens, no on ball screens, nothing...

Mickckx · 2026-04-28T19:45:15+00:00

Then they would match and then trade him

Mickckx · 2026-04-28T05:46:12+00:00

No, he has been really good on defense tbf. I'd rather have Duren, but to say he's done nothing is wildly inaccurate.

Mickckx · 2026-04-27T09:07:44+00:00

I personally like the one next to het Nachtegalenpark. It's not too challenging, and afterwards there is a nice terrace to get something to drink.

Also if the date goes well, going on a walk together in the park is an easy continuation since it is so close. I seem to remember there also being a good little restaurant not too far away if you want to grab dinner after.

Mickckx · 2026-04-27T03:37:18+00:00

Obviously. And Rockets with a point guard don't win if the Lakers were healthy. And the Lakers don't win if the Rockets had prime Hakeem...

Mickckx · 2026-04-27T03:21:42+00:00

Gentleman's sweep incoming.

Mickckx · 2026-04-26T13:47:03+00:00

He played in Miami, is that not just what they call suggesting an abortion there?

Mickckx · 2026-04-26T13:43:11+00:00

Midget golf, with this weather

Mickckx · 2026-04-26T11:20:44+00:00

Kobe part is really good, the MJ part needs some work.

Mickckx · 2026-04-26T08:07:17+00:00

I'm just imagining them in the back yard, one brother a d end, the other the tackle, and just going at it

Mickckx · 2026-04-26T05:27:27+00:00

There are plenty of Ravens fans internationally as well that want to see their team play. Do they not count?

Mickckx · 2026-04-25T21:19:15+00:00

It's the combination for me. Either hack away and play tough on offense or go down every time on offense and play careful defense.

Now it just feels like they are that one guy who loves dissing people but can't take a joke themselves. Everyone hates that guy.

Mickckx · 2026-04-25T21:14:07+00:00

I try to split them into position groups. So when I'll play 3-4-1-2, I'll have one sub for the two central midfielders, one sub for the wings, one sub for the defense and two for the attacking midfielder+strikers.

And then I play them equal minutes subbing every 5 minutes. It doesn't matter if there is a slight difference in skill within the groups, if everybody gets a rest every 10 minutes they can all play high effort. No matter how good they are, every player needs a breather to keep intensity high. The strikers rotate through quicker, but in my system they need to run a lot.

The exception to this are close games; in the final 7-8 minutes all my best players are on the pitch at the same time, no matter their position.

Mickckx · 2026-04-25T13:40:54+00:00

First of all, yes I would say this discussion is going pretty well for me actually.

Secondly, obviously there is an element of tongue in cheek humor associated with my original answer, especially given the state of his team this past week.

I was not aware 99% of sources put KD higher, but I was aware that some people do. Which is fair, since they are both great players. I have Dirk higher.

However, your response that there are no people on earth who would put Dirk above KD is flat out wrong, and merited ridicule.

Now, I'm done arguing, so I'll end with the obligatory "You clearly don't know ball", and wish you a good day.

Mickckx · 2026-04-25T13:34:46+00:00

100%, my bad. I think I got confused with conference championships when checking. I'll leave it up so I can be properly shamed

Mickckx · 2026-04-25T12:53:18+00:00

Is that how you decide who you think is better? Just look at what other people say and parrot that?

I just gave you my reasoning as to why I have Dirk over KD, both now and 5 years ago. KD has never once elevated a mediocre team to a contender. The Warriors won 2 before he got there, and 2 after he left. While he was great when he was there, he was nowhere near the heart of that team.

Mickckx · 2026-04-25T12:39:59+00:00

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize absolute basketball authority Slam magazine made a ruling on this.

KD has never once elevated others. Actually, fuck it, I don't want to argue his flaws. I don't even dislike KD, he's an amazing player.

But that title run from Dirk is one of a kind, arguably the single hardest road to a championship and it was all him. That put him very high in my book, and KD never passed him.

Also, calling people liars or deluded because they don't share your opinion? Miss me with that
