@RoyAvieli @SamQuinnCBS @HPbasketball Media and "nba twitter" hated the rise in the three ball and they still do. They constantly blamed Steph for it and claimed it caused a generation of youth ball players "not playing the right way" with too many 3s. And Steph tries to sell calls too.

@BenFerraro @SamQuinnCBS @HPbasketball Anyone watching Steph during his peak years was in awe by the shots he was making. Shai pushes off and flops too often for anyone to be amazed like we’ve been with curry. It’s just not appealing

I have two theories on this and I think they work in tandem. 1. They've thus far underperformed relative to expectation in the playoffs. Lost to the Mavs as a No. 1 seed. They were heavily favored against the Nuggets/Pacers and were pushed to the absolute brink by both of them. 2. We haven't seen them at their absolute best for a full season yet. Chet/Hartenstein injuries last year. J-Dub this year. I think there's a sense that one year they'll have everyone together and win 70+ that hasn't happened yet. I think if they had more broad appeal, the narrative here would be "they're this good already and they haven't come close to the peak." But people don't like SGA's playing style or Dort's dirtiness and they find the personalities involved boring. So instead the narrative for the people that dislike them becomes "they only won the title because Haliburton got hurt, they're overrated, stop handing them a peak they haven't reached yet and may never reach because nobody has ever gone 74-8 and in December people were talking about it as an inevitability." I'm really fascinated by what happens in relation to the Spurs though. Because I do think there's a world in which the Thunder maybe win one more title, but the Spurs ultimately become the dominant superpower of this era, and so we remember the Thunder more like the Bad Boy Pistons to San Antonio's Bulls. I think if OKC rolls through these playoffs they'll get all-time acclaim. But long-term this is the thing I wonder about.
Hardwood Paroxysm@HPbasketball

I'm really interested by the idea that the Thunder are, objectively, an All-Time team. Wins. Point Differential. Defense. Defense with Offensive Capability. Led by MVP. Depth. Coaching. Culture. Execution. But they do not feel like the all-time great teams *to me* and I do not know why. (Thunder fans, I get they fell like that to you and that people SHOULD view them that way. Read the first part again.) If you're not a Thunder fan, does OKC feel like an all-time great team on par with Warriors 2016, 2017, or say, Heat 2012 (who were objectively much worse than OKC), OKC 2014, 01 Lakers, etc? If not, why not?

@SamQuinnCBS I think the idea of the Thunder winning 70 games is dead once we realized the Spurs will have their number at least a couple times a year. If anything I would be the Spurs (if wemby is healthy for a year) have a better chance at 70 wins

@andy_bumstead @SamQuinnCBS Every year there's injuries. That 21st century basketball man. None of the other champions got asterisks. They just got rings.

@SamQuinnCBS I don't know if they get that bump even if they crush the playoffs this year. There is a lot of talent missing and playoffs haven't even started. If another star gets injured, it could be an uninspiring championship.

@AndyBakesYT Some EV nuanced explanation could be insightful. I get "physical attacker, max attack stat" and usually i try and copy ev sets from smogon or comp players, but I'm curious about the thought process to bucking trends

That genuinely might be the ass-beating of the season. Lakers are just completely physically and athletically overwhelmed on both ends by OKC. They eat Luka alive. He’s averaged 15.5 PPG with 5.0 TOVs on 43.4% TS with a -56 +- in two games vs. OKC this year. Real numbers. Yeesh.

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.
