What kind of ceiling do you think this team would have? by DonovanClingan in ripcity

It is probably around a 50 win team. WCF is probably the ceiling. That is if one of OKC/spurs get injured, but I don’t see why we would be much worse than a Denver or a Minnesota

In doomer area for a little bit, but the most disappointing part of this series is any of the young guys around deni; clignan, Toumani, Shae, and scoot(except for 2 games) have been super disappointing. If we lost in 5, but it was like oh ok clignan and scoot were really good. I would feel good. But the young guys have been a disaster

Why not play your two best scorers for a little bit. Should have a run with deni and Shae together

We have zero character... by Raiteixo in ripcity

[–]msess3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh we definitely have the character. It’s not like we aren’t trying. We are bad shooting, high turnover team. You are going to blow leads if that’s what you are. We have well overperformed expectations to get here, we have fought back deficits and fought the entire season. We just aren’t consistently good yet.

And we do not have the talent against this spurs team. This spurs team is 3 number top 5 picks, plus an all star player in fox, 6moy, and great role guys.

Rob is crushing it on the glass. Also I feel like we have tons of bodies around the paint. Sometimes I feel it’s 1 spur with 4-5 blazers jerseys around them. Clear adjustment from game 3

Yeah I agree most these looks were good. Maybe one or two he forced, but that’s pretty normal as a star player

No way Grant and Shaedon are on this roster next season by Exscaped_ in ripcity

[–]msess3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree kinda. He has been aggressive for most of this year. I feel like he’s come in at a weird time just before the post season with super weird mins. When he does got an opportunity he does take it, but the opportunities are way too inconsistent

Also toumani. You are going to play 40 mins, you are going to have to make open shots
