Pippen never won it I'm not crying for James.
They Robbed Marc frfr of a 1st team def
Hawks had the number 1 seed 10 yard ago
2015 Hawks bruh…duh…and Im a damn Hawks fan
Defending your take then immediately only naming our big 3 is kinda sketch 😅😅
These two are the last ones I want to hear that bs Lebron shid 🤦🏾♂️…… ask Nick Young what does he think ?!?!
I agree with unc…okc is for sure talented..you dont win 57 games being bums…but I can't them as a favorite over anyone either…it wouldn't suprise me if lakers, clippers, sun's, mavs, wolves beat them either…there not juggernauts
Shai was all nba first team last year. Will be this year too. I don't blame them for not knowing about OKC tho. We'll see how we do though. I think we'll beat whoever in the first round kings or pels
You know OKC hears this hate they gonna use it for motivation
Thats his opinion and he has the right to have that opinion but people are sensitive and complain about everything these days.
So we going to act like David stern didn’t rob Kobe of his mvps and give it to Nash who was never ever the best player in the league in no year
Do people forget that the Atlanta Hawks in 2014-15 was a #1 seed? They were the worst #1 seed ever! They had 4 all stars who got rewarded for playing the right way and then got swept in the conference finals by Cleveland. They are for sure the worst! Now if the Thunder get swept maybe they are in that argument but there is no way that Hawks team has a player like SGA so… yeah it is a good hot take. However, it is kind of inaccurate, I do agree that they are a weaker #1 seed but in the last 10 years they are not the worst. In fact in the last two decades they are not the worst. Cuz if we going further back the Spurs lost to the Grizzlies in the first round. Should they not be the worst? Like it is a nice hot take if you say in the last 5 years but the last decade? Not really mostly because they can play with these other past #1 seeds and they can beat some of them. Plus they are still writing their story give them time.
Foh LeBron never locked up d Rose pre injury. It's was 1 on 5 when he had the ball and he took all yal to the rim. He came up short but lockdown ain't it
Shannon does not wanna talk about the real weakest seeds cause he knowa Bron went through them. 2014 Atlanta, 2017 Celtics, 2018 Raptors (no not the Kawhi year) ARE ALL WORSE. I wish OKC could play LA so we could smack yall, but you are going home in 5 so see ya
This was both Williams and Chet second year if their contacts. Giddys third, team might look different sooner than expected.
It’s okay to be wrong man lol that’s the problem with sports media. We know Shannon ain’t watching Thunder games fr.
Best Western Conference in years, Thunder finish 1st and they’re the worst 1st seed in years? Nonsensical.
Marc Gasol was definitely a better defensive player that year.. Shannon’s LeBron glazing is too much sometimes
This team is gonna get destroyed in the rebound battle
He 200% only watched the Laker/Thunder games and got called out on it. Take the L unc, we all do eventually
Kinda like the guy who won heisman trophy but went undrafted in the nfl
OKC being the weakest #1 is yet to be decided but one of the most surprising definitely . Who would have thought it at the beginning of the season .
You are bringing up the super teams not number 1 seeds 🤣🤣 just trying to reach for anything to make you right, just like the Russell Wilson take
That Utah Jazz team from a couple of years ago unc maybe one of those ATL hawks teams with Horford, Jeff Teague and Millsap.
Stop acting like yall picking okc to win the ship? 😂😂 everybody knows playoffs are different from regular season. A team full of young potential isnt about to win the ship
Don’t count them out SGA my favorite player right now and mvp they hungry and the raptors that got swept by Bron was the worst number 1 or that bulls team gill just said
WHAT HAS OKC DONE IN THE PLAYOFFS? I will wait 😂😂😂
Most wypipo hate black excellence.
For people that don't know in 2011 different people voted on all defense and defensive player of the year. It wasn't the same voters. Marc Gasol actually didnt even recieve enough votes to be 2nd team all defense, but the league put him there anyways because he won DPOY.
Just like they robbed Kobe from getting the MVP in 2006
The scenario was with Russ Wes MVP year. He wasn’t an allstar starter.
Not even an OKC fan, but I just want the same energy if they make a deep run this season.
Does nobody remember the 2014 hawks? They had like 5 all stars and didn't do shit
2014-2015 Hawks were the weakest #1 seed
Lebron could NEVER guard 1-5 Shannon glazing wit that one
Damn a night cap episode I don't like. Like being young and having experience mattered with the west this year. All the experienced old heads are in the Play In. Hell Golden state went home. I'll ride or die with Oklahoma city thunder till the end. Thunder up!
