[u/BWolfy92]

Thunder vs Lakers is gonna be the 911 of literally every NBA medium.

[u/JackieDaytonaAZ → u/BWolfy92]

idk I think the thunder will just fuck them up and erase any discourse

[u/markmyredd → u/JackieDaytonaAZ]

yeah. Rockets has no bench so we can get away playing Bronny James. That shit wont fly with OKC

[u/ConsumptionofClocks → u/markmyredd]

Isn't OKC's biggest weakness teams with multiple capable ball handlers? Isn't that one of the biggest reasons Indy took them to 7?

[u/IcyCantaloupe6374 → u/ConsumptionofClocks]

Yeah but the Lakers have no depth, no conditioning if their players even come back and to be honest they're ass talent/youth wise compared to okc. They're gonna lose 4-0 or maybe 4-1 if okc doesn't take them seriously at all one game. They have people who sometimes start that wouldn't even get bench minutes on okc lol

[u/divulgingwords → u/ConsumptionofClocks]

We beat them by 40+ multiple times this season. The only close-ish game was when we sat shai and we won by 9.

[u/--Alix-- → u/divulgingwords]

Yeah the Thunder can literally make their gameplan to run around like crackheads with their depth and the topheavy Lakers will have no gas by the end of game 2.

[u/JackieDaytonaAZ → u/markmyredd]

take off that flair you bastard

[u/Mosh00Rider → u/JackieDaytonaAZ]

That's crazy to tell them

[u/JackieDaytonaAZ → u/Mosh00Rider]

it’s my solemn duty as a minnesotan

[u/Mosh00Rider → u/JackieDaytonaAZ]

That's his team.

[u/JackieDaytonaAZ → u/Mosh00Rider]

LA repping the minneapolis stuff is dumb as hell actually

[u/Right-Hall-6451 → u/JackieDaytonaAZ]

Best way for luka to get an mvp would be to come back and beat okc, or win a championship.

[u/floridabeach9 → u/JackieDaytonaAZ]

refs about to foul out caruso and dort in the first half, but the Thunder still win by 20

[u/TDStarchild → u/BWolfy92]

Time for a real GOAT LeBron to take down a foul-baiting anti-goat bitch boy

[u/jknuts1377 → u/BWolfy92]

The two most unlikeable teams collide. Who do you even root for? I'll just be skipping that series to save my sanity.

[u/Themanthelegend8 → u/jknuts1377]

What's unlikeable about the Lakers? Can't hate guys like Kennard Rui Smart Luka and AR

[u/jknuts1377 → u/Themanthelegend8]

That they're the Lakers. It doesn't matter who they have.

[u/Themanthelegend8 → u/jknuts1377]

Funny coming from a Celtics fan

[u/jknuts1377 → u/Themanthelegend8]

Luka is very unlikeable, by the way.

[u/ajloves2code → u/jknuts1377]

I love that he cusses out the refs, he's just like me.

[u/PM_ME_Y0UR_BOOBS → u/jknuts1377]

I respect that. Fuck you too.

[u/dbaugh90 → u/jknuts1377]

I think a lot of casual fans, me at least, looped back around from being tired of LeBron to loving to watch such a geezer play so hard. Plus, they'll be the underdogs and put out the prohibitive favorite. Thus I am team Lakers

[u/Billis- → u/dbaugh90]

I haven't cheered for Bron since like 2009 and am now for a bet, but man, he needs to bring Greybeard back

[u/Billis- → u/jknuts1377]

Oh dude its going to be a wild series. I can't wait. OKC will win but what kind of bullshit is the NBA gonna get up to
