2025 Playoffs Chat & Chill Thread

Shai had the Donovan Mitchell-type 8-second violation at the end of the first. OKC fans were perplexed, but the game made the issue moot by the end.
 
So Rudy distinctly was staying up higher and not dropping as far on SGAs pick n roll. Looks to have made him way more uncomfortable seeing Rudy closer as he came off the screen. Be interesting to see what OKC do with that next game
 
He’s also a pretty good rebounder and finisher. Hes got some bounce. And with Chet, it’s not like he’s messing up their spacing. Gobert and Mitchell Robinson right now are far greater liabilities.
Lol. Hartenstein has by far the worst net rating of those 3 despite his team having far superior rating.

For instance Robinson is +8.6 in a team thats -0.4 while Hartenstein is +5.4 in a team thats +10.6.

I don’t think that proves what you think it does. A lot of factors go into +- . Robinson and Gobert are also better rebounders and defenders. The opponents they’ve played are different. OKC just escaped a grueling 7 game series with arguably the 2nd best team In the playoffs (likely the only team in the playoffs that made the Thunder sweat). So what are we arguing? Are we arguing that Harkenstein has a better offensive game than Robinson or Gobert? Because I think the answer is clearly yes and he’s less of an offensive liability than Gobert and Robinson who have zero range outside of a dunk/tip in. Although, their dunk/tip in ability might improve their overall +- especially against crap teams (lakers for example).

No you are arguing that Robinson is a worse offensive liability based on your pedestrian common sense logic revolving around their scoring skills, yet Robinsons personal offensive rating is BETTER than both his teams or Hartensteins.

Also for the full season he is less of a negative than Hartenstein in on/off, despite often subbing with KAT who is a great offensive player.

Have you ever paustd to wonder why coaches try to drive him off the court? You think his mediocre rim protection or slow feet defensively have something to do with it?

I can give you a hint: R____________.

LOL

Okay, have fun.
