Man, LA is getting BTFO while OKC is missing an all-NBA player AND resting their starters.
These players are so fucking weak omg.
R Hachi better than LeBron ?
Game over for your “goat”.
onlything entertaining in this series is rui making those 3s
What are you talking about?
Hard disagree
Finally. I watched OKC. This game had nothing to do with refs, so why is everyone still complaining about refs. Lebron & Reaves just careless passes leading to turnovers and also they couldn’t finish in paint. That was the story of the game. In addition, OKC looks beatable. Spurs-OKC series will be good.
Because the refs being biased in favor of okc is still a problem, even if they’re good enough to beat other teams like they were in this one. It’s not either or. Look at the chiefs in the nfl and the bs calls mahomes gets
They aren’t biased in favor of OKC
So many “fans” that need to seek therapy.
They look like they’re going back to back with it
They played a deeply flawed team and a team where it’s best player is injured. Playoffs haven’t even begun for OKC.
Agreed, I think they look just as vulnerable as last year, especially with Jdub out for the moment.
It’s almost like people on this sub don’t watch the games at all. They just look at the number of FTs that individual players or teams got, and that’s their entire analysis.
When actual basketball fans watch (doesn’t happen anymore) things are pretty obviously called the other way. Silver has a lot more to focus on other than teams tanking for draft picks. The league is a joke right now. Refs are Vegas puppets. It’s a joke.
Well there are a lot of people calling okc unwatachable so maybe they actually aren’t watching the games.
ezzzzz
went into this series thinking the lakers had enough shot creation to keep it close… shai and jalen williams just completely suffocated lebron in the half court. okc’s length on the perimeter makes everything harder, that’s not a fluke
Games have been somewhat close (Laker’s led at 2⁄3 halftimes), but OKC’s depth has pulled away in end and they’ve been making 3’s towards the end.
Lakers just don’t have the gas without their best player and the offense visibly stagnates at times without his shot creation and gravity.
Even with Luka they’d still get hammered. The Thunder know how to defend him.
Jalen hasn’t played bruh
Jalen Williams is still injured on the bench…
Evil whiny LLakers getting owned going out sadder than the Suns & the world wins🥹😁
Big brain comment. Might be president material.
You’re not even flaired up.
OKC won because they are a better team. But also Fuck OKC
You think OKC is a better team than Lakers without Luka? You don’t say.
When will you all admit that, even with Luka, they’re better?
when thunderfans admit they won a championship because haliburton got injuered
Buddy, injuries happen and that’s a part of life. You guys act like the Thunder injured him.
Even with Luka okc is better lol
They are better than the Lakers with Luka.
What did AR say to the refs this time?
Do u wanna act like the thunder DONT flop?
They’re corny because they don’t need to do it. They’re clearly the best.
And it makes teams guard them differently.
And it’s exactly why they don’t get respect
12,000 comments! I’m sure r/nba will be host to some spirited discussion and commentary for this great game of Basketball!
I got your spirited discussion right here buddy
Lakers players need another ‘discussion’ with the refs
Man NBA fans are fucking whiny little pussies, winning team or losing team everyone is whining about something
Welcome to the NBA
Facts…bunch of whiny ass victims.
But you don’t understand…the refs omg the refs…they want this team to win and that one to lose…wahhh. Winy little cunts the lot of them
Yes the lakers got more free throws. Luka is still out. Even if he was in OKC sweeps. OKC still sucks to watch and I can’t wait for this run to be over. Enjoy the back to back but please god let it end there
The Lakers suck too man. Playoffs is going to get a lot harder for OKC next round. Don’t give them the chip yet.
I’m no laker fan. They’ve won enough for a lifetime so can get swept any day. They def suck. It’s no surprise this is a sweep. Idk why anyone would think otherwise with Luka out. But it’s over. The shitty state of Oklahoma needs a win so they can enjoy the run
Bold of you to think LA has a chance if Luka is not injured
Are you braindead or just pretending?
What makes you think they have a chance with Luka? They’ve shut him down every time.
Suns fans lakers fans. Getting swept
[deleted]
Entire season but they were 17th in FTA
Don’t state facts to angry, delusional nba fans in their fe fes
Oh shut up. I’m not even a Thunder fan but the whining is unbearable.
Mavs flair, let him have this one. Ws are hard to come by for some folk.
OKC going to have their championship(s) with an asterisk
Doubt they’ll get there honestly.
Los Angeles “free throw” Lakers
You mean like the Covid championship?
Yeah, everyone knows the ball wasn’t round due to Covid. Fucking genius.
No, like their 2002 win over the Kings to advance.
Your team lost by 23 points, and they had double the free throws.
You should be really embarrassed with this post man
Crying and coping that your team lost by 23 when you had 15 extra FTs
Just accept the defeat bro. All this crying ain’t helping.
Lmao like what that even mean? Because we’re in bed with the refs??? Or because we’re flat out a way better team than the Lakers?
Lakers shot 15 more free throws than the thunder 😭
+11 for series
Is there a reason you’re following my comments around and responding repeatedly to things that have nothing to do with you?
The OKC internet fanbase seem like a lot of unhinged incel types
This is a very ironic comment…
I think a lot of them are just teenagers. Just make them feel embarrassed so they stop and move on.
They won’t though, but once finals are over they will go back to videogame streamer chatrooms or whatever.
My theory is that sga and OKC and how corny they are appeals to younger people which is why the NBA promotes them. I don’t think this team are good role models at all the way they laugh at the losing team and play dirty and shit. Whatever, the youth is pretty much screwed out of a liveable future anyway.
Nah, I think if there’s one thing teenagers understand, it’s shame. It pretty much defines the teenage experience and motivates nearly every decision. They act like things don’t bother them, but I find that it tends to have a very huge impact down the line.
I mean honestly, I don’t really have much an issue with the OKC guys–SGA from all accounts seems like a nice guy, Jared McCain is pretty funny.
I mean OKC seem pretty shameless to me but I generally agree. They seem fine, but have some of the dirtyest players. Every team flops sometimes, that’s sports. I just think the OKC team acts immature about winning and that appeals to a particular type of person.
What happened 😀
Some guy was following my comments in the live thread bugging out and trying to talk shit because he had nothing better to do. Kept telling me he was fucking my mom and that I “didn’t want the smoke.”
But it looks like I accidentally didn’t even reply to the right thread?
The “reply all” of reddit arguments.
Bro ignore it if you can. All the weirdos and trolls have come out of the woods since the Lakers lost.
I stopped responding to him and kept getting new notifications from dude. Not really a big deal.
Ignore folks like that. They’re genuine losers.
Two weirdos 🤷♂️
Whoa laker shots 2.5 times more FT than the thunders and still lost by 30, even silver couldn’t save them
After the game the Lakers cornered the refs again, “No not like that, that’s worse. Call the fouls again for them, please. For the love of god go back to the way it was.”
isnt this outcome already expected though? i remember before the playoffs people were saying that the lakers weren’t even getting past the first round. the rockets made the lakers look good enough to make people think they have a chance against okc
So you are saying people are idiots and we should listen to what they say?
Makes sense to me.
Lebron is so awesome guys. I mean, the goat is about to get swept.
This is not Lebron’s fault, shut up.
Put some respect on LeBron.
The better team is whooping ass. This is no shame on Bron.
Jordan was statistically at his worst his final two years. Does that make him any less legendary?
Is this even a serious conversation? This is like Michael Jordan going down in the playoffs and questioning Scotty Pippen. If Scotty Pippen drags the Bull’s ass to the second round, that’s a win.
We forget about his Wizard years.
We can also forget about LeBron Laker years hopefully.
Bein g a Pacer fan, I kind of understand how you don’t understand what winning a championship means.
JFC,
Harder to do when he won a ring in LA
The chocolate chip Covid scrimmage tournament? lol. We don’t acknowledge that. The last lakers ring was Bean beating the Celtics.
Yeah, we sorta acknowledge that ring.
Sorta.
It’s ok, we have 16 others.
Rockets are so fake losing to this Lakers team lmao
The rockets is the most dysfunctional team of the entire nba, they wouldn’t have beat anyone
That’s what happens when the slim reaper shows up in your locker room
As much as I’m not a Kevin Durant fan, we’ve got to be honest here…
Keep seething bro
Username checks out
Hell ya
Losers hate winners
We hate you too
Good
Nice job deleting your comment. Wuss.
Oh no an internet tuff guy what will I do
Cry, it seems
I promise you I feel nothing about any of this, I don’t remember even what this is about, but seeing your flair in probably told you to go play Roblox or something
You’re probably not even an NBA fan.
If Bronny replaced Reaves in the starting line up, Lakers could’ve won this game
I just want to point out that 16 people upvoted this comment.
If coach would have put in Uncle Rico, they could have won state.
Reaves defense is atrocious
Traffic cone
OKC 10 free throw attempts, Lakers 25 free throw attempts. The wild stat for OKC is only Shai and Ajay got free throws.
And lakers still lost by 30, they will need another excuse
[removed]
ok i will shai is bad for the game
Imagine asking how old someone is and still saying “ur” lmaooo
If I put it in quotations would you understand I was purposely using the phrase?
I bet you were bud lol
I don’t really have a way to convince you so I’ll just go the rest of my life regretting it. I see people ironically say “ur so tuff fr” when someone is acting tough online. Your comment was deleted so maybe you aren’t so tuff.
Learn how to spell tough while you’re at it little guy
Is it better to be a flopper or someone who beats their wife?
25 fts to 10 is an outlier
Go to bed dude. Unbiased opinion my ass. I bet you don’t know shit about defensive schemes or rotations. You just spew the same shit you watch on tik tok.
I didn’t expect 3-0 tbh
Without Luca LAL are easy to beat for Thunder.
It’s funny how no one fucking understands how LUKA is fucking out and the extend of his injury wans’t known to anyone and it was thought there was a good chance of him coming back this series.
Lol I expect a sweep
Everyone needs to apologize to Charles Barkley. He knew the Lakers won’t do shit.
Did Chuck have Luka’s hamstring as a source? If not, he was just talking shit as usual.
I certainly did. This Laker team has been false gold all year.
Those regular season games against OKC should have been a clue what was gonna happen.
Bro are you a fucking moron? Do you even know what player was missing?
Bro are you a fucking moron?
Ain’t no need for the shitty ad hominen attacks cause you are in your feelings. 😐
Bro did you even see what happened when the Lakers & Luka played against them?
You know, the one the Lakers were already losing massively when he aggravated his hammy?
So yes, got it.
sO yEs, gOt iT.
You bozos can’t even take accountability when someone explains something to you.
🤣🤣🤣
I expected 4-0
Lakers are buns, Ajay Mitchell owns their poverty franchise
Buns
Hot cross?
Ok
Only room for one blue and orange team in these playoffs
😂 shame lakers
What’s the excuse now you fucking babies?
I don’t know. What could it be? I can’t figure it out. Maybe I’ll go ask the BEST PLAYER IN THE NBA and try and find out.
Ask Austin reaves. he might flop around when you ask him though so proceed with caution
Lmao everyone on this sub is a loser. You people need to go outside.
Ironic using the word “babies.” But expected.
How about this. The Thunder play the rest of the playoffs with free throws turned off. The other team can have as many as they want, but we don’t get any. What do you think the bitching we be about then?
They would just say “it’s not that u guys aren’t shooting FTs, it’s that they allow Lu Dort to play football! It’s all Lu Dort! He burned all our crops! Cut off our water supply!”..
He did?!
I will enlist in the Canadian military to protect Luguentz Dort
I don’t have a skin in this argument, but Lakers had 2.5x more free throws this game.
Yes, we are fully aware. That is the only reason we even returned to the r/nba shithole.
Exactly the point of this post brother.
we’re seeing it live in this thread. It’ll be “fine but your team is still unfun to watch”
“it isn’t fun watching my team get dog walked by a small market team I think nobody should care about”
Lmao. Sallt
truly just the ultimate mad cuz bad defense. “Yeah you may be up 3-0 but you aren’t FUN to watch”
Yeah I think all of us will take that, no prob!
Im an Arsenal and Thunder fan. This season has been fun full of youre not fun to watch lmao.
As an Ajax fan, this season has, in fact, not been fun to watch lmao o7
Well, I think they are a fucking blast to watch. So would they if it was their team. If you don’t like watching them, don’t watch them. Seems pretty easy.
I’m a thunder fan I don’t know how you’re reading this, but it seems that you’re reading it incorrectly.
I just love basketball. Don’t have a team and the Thunder are a fucking blast to watch. So are the Spurs and the Knicks. I hope you guys win the finals.
Am I? So what exactly does “your team is not fun to watch” mean then?
look at the rest of this game thread. I’ve seen this exact comment said about our team like 6 times.
I’m really not sure what you are getting at. The comment wasn’t aimed at you lol.
I think you might be lost.
I think our team is fun to watch, others do not.
Yea, you definitely took my comment the wrong way. I wasn’t speaking to you. It was for the people saying that.
but really those other guys don’t watch our team’s games.
Thank god at least the average IQ laker fan will stop complaining about ref ball when the lakers and especially certain stars on that team get some of the most favorable whistles in the league. Of course, that still leaves a large chunk of laker fans (and the Luka and AR superfan of a certain demographic) who will still whine.
Most Laker fans live a life where critical and objective reasoning is not a requirement for their living.
Bruh, have you ever looked in the mirror once in your life???
In case someone didnt noted, okc had 10ft this game, Lakers 23. I’m sure someone will find a way to justify this
Lakers 25 FTA
Fake news by the MSM. Do your own research.
It’s okay, I liked the comment and could tell it was a joke. The ones that downvoted apparently thought you were serious. This sub isn’t much into sarcasm. The Thunder almost ended human existence with their fouls until one game and everything is fine again. Now they are very touchy.
Have you heard? Anything that can be proven is now irrelevant. The focus has shifted to the fouls that aren’t called and the personal preferences of each individual regarding the type of basketball they enjoy watching.
I can’t imagine how bron feels homie would have changed the game whole landscape of this series years ago
It’s ridiculous that OKC has a team. Worst on-court product for irrelevant state with the lowest literacy rates in the country. Crazy that the league will rig things for floppers that have no crossover appeal. Just torpedoing the leagues interest. What a sad state of affairs!
;__________;
Hey we can’t read, but at least our fans don’t wear sunglasses at night at an inside basketball game.
I love people calling other teams floppers when their team has King LeFlop on it. Amazing stuff.
The league isn’t rigging shit, your team just fucking sucks.
