Well yea and now we see how mediocre they are, Philly is clearly the best team

Which is a different argument than saying they were the favorite

I wasn’t talking about betting favourites, I’m just saying they’re most likely team to make it out of the east

 

[CameronCrazy06]

And like I said, your prediction does not make them the favorite

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Heartbreak for OKC

 

[CameronCrazy06]

How is that not a foul!

 

[snipezo]

Well if we’re just gonna go off of Vegas odds what’s the point of having this discussion

Thats literally who determines who the favorites are?

Edit: unless you want to say the favorite is just always the 1 seed. Either way, not philly

Thank god we don't have to watch that OKC shit show anymore. What a failed experiment. Try to retain George but let Melo go be the #1 option on a middling team. Dude could have contributed something to the Thunder but just kinda putzed his way through the season. There are 100 reasons he's never been on a true championship contender, but perhaps his inability to swallow his pride and adapt in order to maximize an opportunity--for both himself and the Thunder--exemplifies all of his shortcomings. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Its not their decision whether Melo goes or not. He has a player option for 28 million and hell likely take it

The Eastern Conference Favorites are going to a game 7 in the first round

dude we already knew that on Thursday after the game ended...

 

[Paulius]

Well

Officially brokenheartsSZN

Gave it his all, but wasnt enough. People love to hate him and see him fail so this will be a long summer but time to gear up and get back at it next season

He’ll be back. He wont stop

See, from an outside perspective I don't see this at all.
 
OKC was built to have a Big 3 of Russ/PG/Melo, with Adams and Robes assisting. Their bench was never going to be good from Day 1. But then Andre goes down mid-year, Melo fucking blows, and Paul George shows why he's arguably the least clutch "star" in the league. AWFUL game 6 from him offensively.
 
The only two that were actually worth something was Russ and Adams, and as long as Gobert's on the floor there really isn't much Adams can do to take over a game. Russ was alone, and almost forced a 7 game series. Nobody will give him shit for not advancing, because what else can you do when your team sucks?

 

[Paulius]

theres 30% of people like you who actually understand and 70% of people who will always blame him regardless what happens. Which is fine. Hes the leader of the team and i can understand it

If PG leaves, you already know what the narrative is gonna be

It is what it is tho, onto the next season. Dont matter who he has he’ll stay coming

 

[Paulius]

Anyway, been a fun season talking shit with yall but my alter ego needs a break so Big Poppa is retiring until next season

Paulius is here to chill and watch some nba playoffs with yall tho

 

[Mexi]

Im proud of donovan
Ive been calling him a star since December.

Rockets in 6 unless rubio is out then its 5

Ok how about this, I think there's lot's of value in betting the Sixers to come out of the East

 

[BNC]

dude we already knew that on Thursday after the game ended...

You think the Bucks are the favourites?
