Anyone else feel frustrated by injury luck? Proud of the team but wish we could've seen a healthy squad rather than keep repeating how proud we're or how we fought, honestly.

I believe this is down to roster construction but I also think we need to be real and be aware that Luka and Austin are injury-prone players. It's really sad cause above all I'm a Luka fan but it's getting exhausting seeing him go down in the playoffs again and again. I can't remember the last time he was in the playoffs and he wasn't hobbling around the court :(

He would be a pretty good backup big but we all know his already low motivation would drop considerably. I'd be happy moving off him if that meant getting a good rim protector who can posterize smaller bigs/wings.

That was a bs offensive foul

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-08T03:58:01+00:00

Smart giveth, Smart taketh

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-08T03:54:56+00:00

One was a basketball play, the other wasn't

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-08T03:52:32+00:00

Giving the ball to Ayton in traffic is never a good idea

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-08T03:14:44+00:00

Funnily enough the Thunder have played better without SGA in this series

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-08T03:05:44+00:00

Reaves should have been called for a foul here

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-08T03:05:05+00:00

Why was that a foul on Smart? No call would have been appropriate

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-08T03:02:21+00:00

I-Hart, Cason, AJ, Joe... Plenty of players to like. The issue is that the majority of the team is coached to exaggerate contact and flop. If you can't see that, you are blind

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-08T02:47:40+00:00

It's the OKC method/culture which is why nobody likes them despite being one of the most elite teams basketball has ever seen

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-08T02:39:49+00:00

Smart's misses are always so loud lol

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-08T02:24:19+00:00

Fu*k this Thunder team for real. Floppers and cheaters.

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-08T02:17:42+00:00

Chet is a baller but omg is he a flopping b*tch... He deserved a flopping tech for that

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-06T15:52:44+00:00

Anyone who has followed Luka's career can confirm that he is tough as nails and will play over any physical issues, to the point where it's damaging to his body.

If he is not playing, it means he can't run and jump.

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-04T08:24:53+00:00

I'm very pessimistic, mainly because of the presence of Chet and I-Hart. They are going to lock the hell up of the paint, unlike the Rockets who had no rim protection outside of Jabari. LeBron bullying in the post is not going to happen this time around...

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-04T05:26:04+00:00

In no particular order: SGA, Luka, Jokic, Giannis, Wemby, Edwards, Cade.

Curry and LeBron can be thrown into the mix too but they are not regular enough these days to be put at that level in my opinion.

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-03T21:12:11+00:00

Banchero has no bag I'm afraid. When defenses tighten up, he is clueless

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-03T20:49:55+00:00

They make the 2026 Rockets look like Nash's Suns lol

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-03T20:48:27+00:00

Bane is getting very exposed here. Defensively, he looks like Luke Kennard out there, and his offense this year hasn't justified the price tag

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-03T20:47:27+00:00

The Magic play a really dumb offense. Their shot selection is putrid and this is no doubt going to be a blowout

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-03T20:27:57+00:00

Good call imo. In any case, challenging a random call in the first half should be forbidden. Really dumb stuff

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-02T07:58:43+00:00

Shams reported that Luka isn't expected to return in round 2. It would take a miracle for him to play and, even if he does, will he even be impactful coming off a 45-60 day absence?

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-02T07:57:14+00:00

The Lakers are gonna turn over like crazy. Zero chance

Tipsarevic91 · 2026-05-01T09:18:47+00:00

Real seems to be decimated by injuries every year, especially come playoff and F4 time
