Fun night at the Blender. So relieved to get the W.. this team and this fanbase did NOT deserve to miss the playoffs. No matter what happens vs OKC, this was big.

Good win and the Pels deserve all the credit for not soiling the bed, but good golly, they sure have trouble closing out games sometimes.

Win is a win I guess.

Shooting 3s isn't their problem. Is that they are painfully small and can't defend. A lot of those 3pt numbers are a by product of being down double digit.

I get we used to not shooting 3s, but if you're down 15 points. It's the only way you can claw back into a game if you don't have length or defend.

And to be honest... If Kings could make their 3s against us, because that got open clean looks against us. Could be a totally different outcome.

There must be some weird voodoo doll around somewhere because I've never seen a 3pt team struggle this much against a singular team. Especially, when we give up a ton of open looks..

It's been amazing vibes

Now we get to go to OKC and be road Warriors!

Maybe that’s what Bill puts in his turtles? Like a King Cake Baby, just more creepy?

there’s a rumor going around that he makes these turtles while not wearing pants, could that be it?

Possibly. But if it works, he can keep doing what he’s doing; and continue to avoid watching the games.

Pels in 6 vs OKC because refs won’t call tick tack fouls. SGA has to earn his points.
Joking aside, Pels have a better chance vs OKC than Denver.

It's just a way better match up tbh.

There is always that one team every year that plays well above their pay grade with good coaching and just plain mojo. Was Memphis couple years ago and Sacramento last year. Their arena will have that college atmosphere with every wearing the same color t-shirt crap. Really unfortunate the Pels won't have Zion because OKCs main weakness is defending powerful bigs.

 

[LAhotsauce]

I have to mute his awkward interviews everytime.

"What did CJ text the team Brandon?"

BI: "Honestly, I have no idea."

LOL

Finally watched it. I thought this was a joke.

This can't be said enough.
