[Highlight] The Thunder score 82 points in the first half, their highest‑scoring half of the season, while shooting 32‑of‑53 (60.4%) from the field. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has a team-high 21 points.
Why didnt they stop at 81 out of respect for kobe?
Bruh, nooo 💀. LOL
Belt to Ass
Let’s get the post game thread
Finally lakers fans can stop pretending they’re winning a championship this year
Nah they are forever oblivious to reality.
Yeah, their ceiling is the 2nd round
Worry about making it past the play-in bro lmao.
Lakers can lose out and the worst they can be is the 6th seed
We need a wellness check on Nick Wright
I know it’s been said many times, many ways, but the Lakers defense is not a championship winning defense
No team led by Luka’s lazy ass defense will ever win a chip
Even when Dallas surrounded him with defenders to do the dirty work, he still barely moved his feet in the Finals. If he’ll be lazy in that moment, there’s no hope for him
Nah bro he’s a defensive player of the month nominee didn’t you hear? He’s actually a good defender now!
Tbf, during that finals run he hurt that same hamstring but he played through it. But even healthy we admit that his defense and movement is lackluster.
He’s been an objectively good defender the past couple of months, and the defense isn’t led by Luka its led by Marcus smart
Counting the steal category doesn’t make him a good defender. He’s good at playing the passing lane. That’s the one aspect of defense he’s good at.
He got completely exposed tonight before that non-contact injury, just like he gets exposed against every contender. Anybody else, y’all would be screaming they faked injury to avoid further embarrassment
Objectively, he played like pure shit and proved SGA is out of his league, and I don’t even like SGA
The problem with Luka on defense will always be that hes a guard that cant guard guards. Guard³. Just too slow, so either you get another good perimeter defender other than Smart (not possible with AR and Bron on the team) or you’re cooked
Luka got hurt in the first quarter. His defense was notably better to start the game and then once he tweaked his hammy he stopped moving.
Ok? Nothing is relevant to what I said besides defense which you just pulled out of ur ass, I mean watching th games, voters agree, statistics like drtg dpm etc
“Quick! Somebody find an advanced stat that makes Luka look better at defense than what he shows us every night!”
Yeah, that might work on someone who never took a stats class and wasn’t taught how they’re used to mislead people
Dawg what? Even voters nominated him for defensive player of the month, you literally can’t quantify anything u think and don’t watch the games clearly
Even voters
Lmao childlike logic. People voted, they must be right.
If that were true, the world wouldn’t be getting destabilized by a single person
NBA voters if that wasn’t obvious dude, you literally have nothing to support your argument lol
NBA voters are still voters and the concept still applies
You being unable to understand how adjectives work doesn’t invalidate the argument. Illiteracy is rampant, I swear 😂
It’s been said quite a few times. Their defense sucks and their bench sucks, anyone who thought the Lakers would get anything meaningful done in the playoffs is being delusional. Plus with Luka injuring his hamstring again, he might miss part of or perform poorly in the playoffs
Well it’s also been said many times many ways Merry Christmas
It’s a first round exit at best
Mavs won the trade lol (Flagg for Luka)
This take will age incredibly well
Substantial sea’s bio parents won the trade lol
So is Kon better than both
Yes and Dylan Harper is a notch above all three
huffs a whole ass tank of hopium
But he might be tho for real
Kon will be Steph curry
No we did not
That wasn’t the trade, and it’s very clear that Luka was playing through injury
luka always playing through injury according to yall lakers go down 20 that mf start grabbing a random body part 😭🤣
Insane that you think he chose to just throw the ball away and then leave the game as an act
ima keep it a buck i ain’t even watch the game 😭🤷♂️ sga > luka btw
Tbf he did the thing where he acted hurt earlier in the game like he always does when he’s struggling lol. But yeah looks like he actually pulled his hammy in the 3rd unfortunately.
Glazing OKC with suns flair is insane work the self hatred
Funny that of all the players I think Luka is actually one of those who would do something like that.
Brain injury causing him to spam turnovers perhaps?
Hamstring injury
And no, it’s called playing against all the elite defenders SGA is fortunate to be surrounded by. Plus the hamstring injury.
There goes the MVP conversation
Gimmicky defenses only work in the regular season for the lack of personnel until you run into a real contender.
They are also missing their best defender in this game
Relying on Marcus Smart in 2026 is hilarious
Lakers needed 43 from Luka to beat the Pacers by 7. second round exit incoming lol
That’s the ceiling imo lol 😂
Lakers are a better team without Luka’s lazy defense and shot chucking. They never needed his 43. He forced it trying to chase the MVP
Tonight should put a stop to that bullshit tho 😂
Worst part about a loss like this is the morons get free reign to come out and spew some bullshit
You call it bullshit but he shot them into a hole tonight before his mysterious injury
The score was 9-2 before he took his 2nd shot. 18-9 before his 3rd. Your take is worthless.
Nico was right tbh
Fat boy no MVP
Is this worse than the Spurs game
For whom😎
Oh damn I should tune in huh.
Before the game, OKC got a package with Michael’s Secret Stuff with a direct message to beat LeBron.
Please ignore the fact it was sent through FedEx.
LuKa sHouLd be NumBeR 1 iN tHe mVp rAce bUt tHe meDiA hAteS hiM 😭
That’s your MVP
Someone check on Nick Wright lmao
SUCK IT LEBRON
11 in west standings, mad at the GOAT lol.
I’m not mad at MJ what does he have to do with this?
They are definitely on one tonight.
Exposing the fakers
Hows your fun zone working JJ
LeBron still in Memphis
Spurs dropped 84 (also against lakers lmao) so its not the highest scoring half of the year, but the “luka/lakers in march” posts are done
Technically it’s April, so yes.
I think this cat might be a little slow. Two wrong statements in one comment. Lol
Title says highest scoring half for them(Thunder) this season
Reread the title
[deleted]
What about the Spurs
The French will take back Quebec
what a beat down lol. reminiscent of the last time these 2 teams played
They looking like the monstars out there right now.
Someone FIND BILL MURRAY!
Shit on ‘em!
Lebron double digit streak in the United States lives on 💪
Look what a healthy OKC team looks like
lol
they actually did worse than us earlier in the season lmao
That Reaves max contract gonna be fool’s gold for Lakers fans
Fraud mvp and fraud contenders
How many free throws
For Shai? Three. For the Thunder as a whole? Ten.
But but but but Luka for MVP 😂😂😂😂
Btw fuck SGA’s flopping ass too
Honestly agreed. Wish he would stop that shit we’d still probably be favorites to win it all if he just olayed normally
You really would, if not the Spurs, just like it is now. He’s way too good to have to resort to that bs every night
Not watching, how many times has SGA made a move that was so unbasketbal-esque such that he more closely resembled a ballerina than a basketball player?
Luka has more FTs than Shai. And his team is getting blown out. You don’t watch basketball, you watch YouTube shorts.
Definitely watched SGA shoot 25 FT the other night but ok!
lol, we BOTH know you didn’t. As I said, you watched a YouTube video of the highlights, made by a lakers fan most likely. You are saying the cool thing right now, but don’t lie and say you actually watch the games. Because everyone who watches these games knows you are a liar.
So he didn’t shoot 25 FTs against the Pistons orrrrr
So you admit you don’t watch and go off of online opinions? That’s certainly a choice
He hasn’t watched one game with Shai in it. He trusts the folks on TikTok to tell him who’s good lol.
Brother I’m not tryna watch SGA shoot 25 free throws in a game like that’s just not entertaining 😭
SGA has 3 FTs and Luka has 6 yet SGA has more than double his points. We know you don’t watch basketball you don’t need to tell us.
Tbf I think most people wouldn’t want to watch someone shoot 25 FTs in a game
Why are you dodging the point that’s consistently being brought to your attention? He’s got 28 TONIGHT. With THREE free throws lol
Because he literally doesn’t watch basketball lol. He watches YouTube shorts.
SGA is a fantastic player, one of the most skilled I’ve ever seen I don’t shy away from that
But he did also shoot 25 free throws the other night, that’s a fact lol
Is that why you scoreboard watch?
shai gets some pretty absurd calls and all but against the lakers of all teams… cmon man lmao
Yeah I mean Luka p bad too with the flopping
