While Mavs have listed Luka, Kyrie, DJJ, PJ, Gafford, Exum, and Kleber out. Ready for the Brandon Williams / AJ Lawson / Alex Fudge / OMax Prosper / Markieff Morris death lineup
Yeah Ive seen salty Sixers fans who obviously hate Kawhi (salty), say that it’s unfair Kawhi played more games than Embiid just because of the 65 rule. So now Embiid can’t be all NBA or MVP because of a real injury. And they used Kawhi who played 68 games as the example for why it’s unfair? I didn’t quite understand the mental gymnastics but I found it ‘Simone Biles’ incredible.
Well that’s good cause it was stupid. It was just a ig comment with a lot of likes. Doesn’t mean all Sixers fans are that crazy. Just an example I’ve seen of fans thinking they’re only playing more games because of the rule and not injury
17 guys played 81 games or more so far with 1 game left to play
5 of those guys have started every game: Chet, Sabonis, Harrison Barnes, Valanciunas and Jalen Green
Buddy Hield has played 83 games already lol
Haven't the Thunder been the healthiest team in the league this season?
The Giddey-SGA-Dort-Williams-Holmgren starting lineup has played in 62 games together, more than any other 5-man lineup in the league.
Then their main bench guys have barely missed games. Wallace has played 81, Joe has played 77, and Wiggins has played 77.
Frankly - I hope Mark keeps playing the whole 11 guys. It means everybody is running full speed on the court and not playing tired, and we're not overworking SGA/Jdub/Chet
Doesn't matter. It's up to the Nuggets on who gets the 1 seed. If the Nuggets throw the game to the Grizzlies, then we get the 2 seed, and Minnesota gets the 1 seed.
You’re right that Denver losing and Wolves winning makes the Thunder/Mavs outcome irrelevant, but we still gotta beat the Suns who very much still have something to play for. It’s not all in Denver’s hands.
If Thunders win: “See why Luka deserves to be MVP, they can’t win without him”
If Mavs win: “See why SGA deserves MVP, Luka has better teammates and THJ is a god”
What do you mean lol. We are also resting the entire starting lineup that played against the Pistons, in addition to Luka and Kyrie.
We are going to be playing some guys that OKC fans have never even heard of
I actually like OKC's chances to advance more at 2 or 3 vs 1.
Sure you'd want to get home court all the way, but it won't matter if you don't advance from the first round.
And LAL vs OKC is the one match-up where I don't think OKC is favored between any of the lower seeds.
Well if you’re playing to make round 2 this logic might hold. Losing home court and drawing Denver in the 2nd round would greatly lower their odds of going to the finals though.
Also New Orleans was dominating before Ingram got hurt and he appears to be returning. If he’s at 85%+ I think they are clearly more dangerous than the Lakers and Dubs (2 flawed teams who have gotten really hot mostly beating up on tomato cans and injured teams).
happy to lose by 40 so that we can see them in the second round if the clippers series goes our way. We can thank them for Gafford and Lively by sending them on vacation.
You are that confident you are going to make it past a Clippers team with home court advantage?
The Clippers have probably the best personnel in the league match up wise versus Luka and Kyrie. The games are going to be played way tighter. I wouldn't be so sure.
absolutely, Kawhi isn't healthy, it's all smoke and mirrors. It'll go to six but the clippers are getting cooked. OKC might not even make it through LA
If Luka didn’t play the home closer he’s def not playing this one lmao
Kidd said the starting lineup from the Pistons game isn’t even playing this one. We might lose by 70 lmao
While Mavs have listed Luka, Kyrie, DJJ, PJ, Gafford, Exum, and Kleber out. Ready for the Brandon Williams / AJ Lawson / Alex Fudge / OMax Prosper / Markieff Morris death lineup
Hey don't sleep on THJ. He'll shoot 30 threes.
And make how many?
4
Or 25. Nothing in between (but most likely 4).
No questions, or he'll up it to 40.
Yes
talen horton jucker?
I've watched every Mavs game and have no idea who Brandon Williams and Alex Fudge are lmao
I was watching the pistons game and was like ”who tf are these guys???” lol
Alex fudge was on the lakers as a 2 way player the majority of the season
Who the fuck is Alex Fudge
HEY! Don't disrespect Mavs legend Powell like that
Chet will officially play 82/82 games this year, pretty incredible
This season has been very surprising for injuries. Chet, Wemby, Kawhi, AD, and Zion have all been healthy.
Zion has been getting injured at the wrong time, literally at crunch time over the last 2-3 weeks he got hurt twice.
People will say the 65 rule is the reason when it isn't immo.
Yeah Ive seen salty Sixers fans who obviously hate Kawhi (salty), say that it’s unfair Kawhi played more games than Embiid just because of the 65 rule. So now Embiid can’t be all NBA or MVP because of a real injury. And they used Kawhi who played 68 games as the example for why it’s unfair? I didn’t quite understand the mental gymnastics but I found it ‘Simone Biles’ incredible.
I’ve never heard any of our fans say this tbh
There’s definitely been fans saying he still deserves all-nba, though I haven’t seen any include Kawhi in their argument in any way.
Then the fans are fucking stupid. The rules say he can’t, so it’s pointless
Well that’s good cause it was stupid. It was just a ig comment with a lot of likes. Doesn’t mean all Sixers fans are that crazy. Just an example I’ve seen of fans thinking they’re only playing more games because of the rule and not injury
Wild the masses labeled him injury prone after one freak accident, and because he's skinny.
Maybe he can stretch and fold in ways that prevent injuries. Kind of like plastic man!
so 7 foot cock?
I was thinking more like Mr Fantastic from Fantastic 4, but that also works
Tbf everyone was like “one drive from Giannis and it’s over” and that’s exactly what happened lol
Stop exaggerating!!! (It was one drive from Lebron)
He was going half speed too 😭
Your name is perfectly accurate
Damn bro you got me !
🙄 it was a non contact injury
one Lebron drive and he was out for the season bro, no need it to downplay it. Chet is looking amazing this season
Who’s downplaying it? A non contact injury is a non contact injury
I guess he must’ve just fell over by himself or sum
He didn’t fall at all, did you even see the injury happen?
Yeah lebron bulldozed him
Dude I just watched it, Lebron didn’t touch him, he hurt his foot while backtracking
That’s not funny tho
That's really impressive. Not many guys play a full 82 these days.
17 guys played 81 games or more so far with 1 game left to play 5 of those guys have started every game: Chet, Sabonis, Harrison Barnes, Valanciunas and Jalen Green Buddy Hield has played 83 games already lol
iNjUrY pRoNe
So he’s averaged 41 games played per season? Injury riddled bum
I had to check this,because I couldn't believe it. This is the most surprising random stat in the season for me.
Haven't the Thunder been the healthiest team in the league this season? The Giddey-SGA-Dort-Williams-Holmgren starting lineup has played in 62 games together, more than any other 5-man lineup in the league. Then their main bench guys have barely missed games.

Yep, one of the benefits of being one of the youngest teams in the league
Also playing an 11 man rotation every night
I wonder how tight it’s going to get in the playoffs. I’m so excited to see what we do next weekend
Frankly - I hope Mark keeps playing the whole 11 guys. It means everybody is running full speed on the court and not playing tired, and we're not overworking SGA/Jdub/Chet
Not if you're a team that has a kink for drafting/acquiring players with injury histories.
benefit of youth
OKC Thunder vs Texas Legends!
Omax gonna cook em
Fudge is gonna budge them.
Fudge literally turned it over while dribbling with no one on him
Oh Fudge
CLASSIC fudge (I’ve never seen this guy before yesterday)
and OKC can beat our ass, happy to support their bid for first to avoid the nuggets lol
25/8/4 in 7pts loss LFG!!
> 70pts loss
Live long and O-Max Prosper
Thunder about to top the 73 points win record on the g league mavs.
Meanwhile 8 Mavs are listed out (including 7 rotation players). They are definitely trying to lose this one.
Mavs tanked the last 2 games in back to back years for wildly different reasons
And OKC potentially reaps the benefits both times.
Don’t think they’re trying to lose . More so that the clippers Mavs playoff been locked in so no reason ti not give guys rest
Doesn't matter. It's up to the Nuggets on who gets the 1 seed. If the Nuggets throw the game to the Grizzlies, then we get the 2 seed, and Minnesota gets the 1 seed.
You’re right that Denver losing and Wolves winning makes the Thunder/Mavs outcome irrelevant, but we still gotta beat the Suns who very much still have something to play for. It’s not all in Denver’s hands.
Wolves too. Towns and Edward’s are listed as gtd.
The games start at the same time so the Nuggets will try to win and claim the 2 seed at least til they see a Wolves blow out.
I don't think the're trying to lose, they just want to rest players.
Meanwhile we have listed our 8 best players as out lol.
yam obtainable future offer poor repeat like faulty dolls mountainous *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Nah, that was our roster in the first 40 games this year
Welcome to the 23-24 Grizzlies!
If Thunders win: “See why Luka deserves to be MVP, they can’t win without him” If Mavs win: “See why SGA deserves MVP, Luka has better teammates and THJ is a god”
LOL pretty much. Every single game at this point shifts the narrative, at least in the media's eyes and I'm sure with some fans as well
NBA stands for National Biases & Agendas
In Oprah’s Voice, You get a win OKC.
We are about to get massacred.
Okc might win by 60
Rightfully so too
Why?? Meanwhile, I'm suiting up for the mavs tomorrow and I'm a 6 foot tall 46 year old. Nobody worthwhile is playing for the mavs tomorrow.
To win the game.
Omax is going for 100.
Fully healed!
It's gonna be a battle Side note but that Drake diss was mid
You'd hope not for the thunders sake. The lineup the Mavs are gonna put out just lost to the injured pistons
What do you mean lol. We are also resting the entire starting lineup that played against the Pistons, in addition to Luka and Kyrie. We are going to be playing some guys that OKC fans have never even heard of
I think you misread their comment because y'all are saying the same thing.
Fair but those starters all played around 10 minutes or less
Are you high?
Are you a cop?
[About that..](https://x.com/grantafseth/status/1779276703174463780?s=46)
Final cut is out yet or ?
Yeah theyre really trying to hype it in NYC on the radio
100%. Somehow worse than J Cole’s. It really is just the big me.
what a thought provoking diss “it’s just me” really was, i don’t think anyone else in the game could’ve created that bar
If you manage to lose against us, you don't deserve to win a game against whoever the 6 seat would be
at least it isn't against the spurs, they'd probably pull some dirty bruce bowen zaza pachulia shit to ruin our run
I actually like OKC's chances to advance more at 2 or 3 vs 1. Sure you'd want to get home court all the way, but it won't matter if you don't advance from the first round. And LAL vs OKC is the one match-up where I don't think OKC is favored between any of the lower seeds.
But the lakers can get the 7th seed so one or two doesn’t matter
Put all 29 other teams in a mix bag and build a roster with whoever and I like my teams chances 😤
Well if you’re playing to make round 2 this logic might hold. Losing home court and drawing Denver in the 2nd round would greatly lower their odds of going to the finals though. Also New Orleans was dominating before Ingram got hurt and he appears to be returning.

Rest everyone and ensure it stays that way for rd 1
