Shaq and Vince Carter Pick OKC to win West | Inside the NBA

I hope so, and for Denver to play okc I'm hoping so much 😉

[@ccmo97]

What makes me angry about the o okc doesn’t have experience narrative.Sga has been in the playoffs every other year since being a rookie. If yall count that laker bubble championship then most of the guys in okc have been in a playoff series just not anything past the first round. Depending on who we play I think we could make it to the second round. As a thunder fan we didn’t expect to be here this year but we are and I need for people to do research and talk facts on us and not some bs.

[@Nmorganize]

Yeah I hate how ppl they’re gonna forget how to play basketball come playoff time. What most don’t know is they have one of the BEST coaching staffs in the entire league. This isn’t a typical “young team”… they are very mature and have proven they know how to win big games against great teams.

[@Nmorganize]

*hate how ppl think they’re…

[@KrishFizix]

Okc is only "now" becoming relevant in the "regular" season.. its quite improbable to win over an entire conference (filled with NBA 75th anniversary guys) with little to no experience of playing in 7-game series..

Everyone say inexperience but OKC and other smalls market are about to change somn...I just don't know what it is but it feel good😊

Earnie bringing up the fact that the Pels are top 10 in OFR and DFR, meanwhile the Thunder are top 5 in both. Technically top 4. They’re 2nd in NETRTG and 1st in 3pt%. There’s something different about this young OKC team. Idk wtf to expect out of them in the playoffs.

Lmfoa shaq is so blatantly wrong sometimes, that clippers team has hella playoff and finals experience, between the starting 5 and Westbrook alone, PJ tucker won a chip with the bucks and was on that deep playoff run with the Heat, powell won a ring with kawhi in Toronto like what’re you talking about bro 🤣 and like Kenny said even Ty lue won a ring as a coach and as a player been on playoff teams

Wait, coming out the west as in going to the finals? Nah, OKC is not beating the Clipps or Nuggets in a playoff series. Kenny is the only one making sense. This is the first year they gelled and play great but too inexperienced. I don't even know if they beats the Warriors.

Well we no harden is on the clippers so they have zero chance of winning it all. Doc Rivers is coaching the bucks so they can't win it. That's two teams that have a 0.0 percent chance of winning.
