I'm not saying I'm a hopeless romantic, but I do have a Pinterest board dedicated to taco recipes🔥
They should not force it. Go ahead and lose the two upcoming games to the Lakers
mustexude
They should definitely not force it, but they can still affect who they face in the 2nd round
They should do everything they can now, because I think they lose in the first round of the playoffs. They remind me of Utah's teams when they dominated the regular season but went flat in the big show. Some will make a nice profit betting against them.
No
No because if they get 70 it puts even more pressure on them to win the championship.
OKC should focus on farming stats for SGA to win MVP.. that’s how Denver plays, wins don’t matter especially in first place
Okc still loses in the 2nd round 😂
“…for the rest of the league AND the western conference…” lol
Nah.
Jokic taught us the amount of wins don’t matter so if I’m SGA I’m playing to get the stats I need for the rest of the season because that’s all that counts. You’re a bad teammate if you’re putting pointless wins over my MVP that’s wrong
OKC should NOT focus on SGA MVP, that is not the mission. They shouldn't lose focus in playoffs just causs they satisfied with SGAs MVP
this thumbnail is frying me why is unc gettin in his defensive stance
No. Being healthy and rested for the playoffs is more important than winning 70 games.
What trophy do they win for 70 games?
Sga for MVP
Sga a good player, with ridiculous OP supporting cast. I dont think they will win it all, SGA just ist good enough. Thunder have one of the best 2-10 OAT, but IDK if Shai is the real deal. He is foul baiting 2 much
If they can't beat the all-time record then it's irrelevant
Why there getting beat in de playoffs u can win 100 games but if u don't went it all wats the purpose
NO. If they want to win the chip, NO. But, hey, don't listen to me, do what you will.
They shouldn't focus on it, but I hope they don't purposely shy away from it either.
This MVP race has shown us how pathetic the NBA's fanbase is. Points, rebounds and assists is apparently all that matters in basketball
They absolutely should, given that there is no guarantee they even make it out of the first round. The west is stacked with experience teams with championship pedigree. (Healthy) Clippers, Warriors, Lakers, Nuggets each have at least TWO PROVEN GREAT PLAYOFF performers; and the Timberwolves are very dangerous with experienced playoffs players.
Perk is just annoying
Sorry to say but I can’t see Nobody in the west beating the Nuggets they are finally starting to get healthy and when you have a behemoth in the middle dropping 60 10 & 10 and 5 steals stop it 2 more years for OKC
Thank you! This is the first time OKC has screen time since they’re last lost. Go check YT.. First Take only talks about them when they lose, literally 12 segments.. NBA Countdown!! 🤞🏾
Let’s not forget that the warriors won 73/9 and dint win a chip🤔
SGA putting up Jordan numbers still has hater !!! Fr fr
Gulf of Mexico? Come on Perkins you know better. 😂
The Thunder just need to win 68 games
Perk calling it the Gulf of Mexico genuinely pissed me off
No because the correct answer is to stop at 69
No, the Warriors did this and lost the Finals
They need to focus on winning the championship instead of trying to get the best record don’t pull a Golden State lol…..
