A Concept-Level Weapon, G6 Thompson (Three Updates Today)

After the Thunder smoothly won King Mountain, the media narrative changed direction in an instant.

A whole crowd of armchair experts immediately started blasting the Pelicans' front office and coaching staff.

"Why didn't they bring in more players? They've been running an eight-man rotation since the second half of the regular season. Even Thibodeau doesn't go that far!"

"Why trade for Lou Will back then?! What was the point? He's old, can't defend, and his offense comes and goes. He went 2-for-9 in Game 5! The front office is full of idiots!"

"Gentry's a dumbass. Davis hadn't come back yet, and he still didn't learn from the Lakers and double-team Chen Xi to death. Then they wouldn't have lost G2. If they'd finished the first three games up 3–0, it would've been too late even if Davis came back! But no, he just had to stick with single coverage and soft hedges. Did he think he was some kind of genius? If you ask me, he's nowhere near as good as Vogel!"

"So if we're judging purely by roster strength, weren't the Lakers actually the better team? At least Chen Xi didn't drop over a hundred points on them in two games!"

"Ridiculous. Why are Lakers fans everywhere? Their team's already gone fishing. Didn't they take you bait along with them?"

"The Lakers couldn't even force AD to play during the entire series, and you still have the nerve to bark? AD had already recovered. They were just saving him and didn't want to waste their energy on a garbage team like yours. You really think you got the Thunder to Game 7 on merit? Without the refs helping in G6, you'd have been gone already. And in G7, one guy carried his team by himself and sent you packing
