Thunder in 4
Y'all live?
Jake , I’m a thunder guy listen to Rylan everyday . Just wanted to give you a shoutout to your maturity in this crossover , it’s not easy when your team loses in the playoffs when so much emotion is into it . With that said I still hope we get the sweep but for any pelicans news I’ll definitely tune in to locked on pelicans
Herb Jones and Trey Murphy III are making Ingram, a 26-year-old one-time All-Star, look dispensable — if not unplayable
Great show guys!!
Ummm… I'm going to say something that may come off as Thunder Homer flame bait, but it really isn't.
What has put the Pels in this position is potatoes and pasta. BI was never intended to be put in this position, especially in the playoffs. He was supposed to be the guy that kills you when teams are forced to over commit to the player that your system was designed to be THE guy.
We'll never know as it turns out, but Pels fans have to be asking themselves how different this series looks at this point if Zion was in the lineup.
No matter how the rest of the series goes, the Pels organization has to have a frank discussion with Z. Is it going to be potatoes or basketball?
There are already too many variables that can derail a player's season without adding dead, unnecessary weight in the mix.
These pods are so much better than down to dunk glad I switched haha
Thunder Fan here trying to remain unbiased. Not having Zion is obviously a major blow to the team, but this is where player likes BI and Valanciunas need to step up. When Val is in the paint he has been easily getting hooks over Chet, but he can't keep that up the entire game. Every time he is out Chet and the Thunder are just feasting on rebounds. I feel like the whole NOLA team was built around Zion and without him things are just falling apart. I am so thankful we have Shai and J-Dub because you saw what happened when they were both out, we got roasted in most of those games. I want us to win it before Zion is back because he will for sure cause us some issues if he is able to knock the rust off quick enough.
