[Highlight] The Oklahoma City Thunder take a 3-0 series lead with a 131-108 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. They become the sixth reigning NBA champion in history to start a postseason 7-0 or better.
Gonna be real quiet tonight huh?
Refereeing at the Funeral
Pretty dead and nothing to do, hear they might move the team to San Diego
Lol
It’s never a quiet night in Memphis with Gun-flashing Ja Morant.
Five people spent money to support this comment.
It’s a good comment
It’s well deserved
Booooooo
and? Guns are sick, as long as he aint aiming them at somebody I dont see the problem?
Nah fuck that, our Black Samurai Rui is ready to ascend to the next level. Lakers in 7.
Lakers took 25 FTAs to the Thunder’s 10, btw
Reaves alone had 8, which is not a crazy amount but it’s 80% of our entire team free throws. Yet he complained nearly the entire game.
Wonder how many lifetimes of regular person money he lost by playing like this.
Not much, if any. Many teams would kill for his level on creation, although maybe not top tier contenders. He’s still making mad money - the question is if it’s in LA.
still something in the neighborhood of 15% downvotes on pure, hard facts. Answer me, crickets.
Its insane that you felt the need to defend this unprompted, perhaps you’re feeling a little insecurity about something?
Ad Hom.
Cry more. Bitch.
Nobody respects you or your championships and they never will. Ad hom.
bro you got cooked, wear the L and dip
anybody got the clip of Reaves complaining to ref while Caruso beats Lebron for transition dunk in 4th quarter? that summed up this game
I’m out so I didn’t see the game, but it felt like a lot of highlights I saw pop up were just Reaves bitching and crying at refs
That was his whole game. He was throwing some tantrums tonight.
I understand frustration but jumping up and down and waving his arms while yelling for a foul is comical. Meanwhile the rest of the team is trying to hustle for the consistent breakaway points of OKC.
It’s one of my least favorite things players do. A call didn’t go your way, it happens. Talk to the ref at the next stoppage. But jumping around in hysterics while the other team is on a fast break the other way is not it.
It’s what makes the thunder so goddamn refreshing to watch contrary to popular neckbeard opinion. They play hard, they play tough, and they don’t bitch to the refs constantly.
Agreed, it’s one of my favorite things about the Thunder. They get their asses back on defense. Back in the day, Westbrook was bad about complaining to refs or committing bad fouls when he didn’t get a call. I love Russ, but I hated that shit. I really appreciate that nobody on the current Thunder does that.
Luka like
crazy name
Let’s just get to Spurs vs Okc already please
i mean spurs wolves is still 2-1 lol could easily go the other way
Yeah idk why people are counting them out. They win the next home game it’s 2-2… anyone’s series
Ant being hurt and Randle being inconsistent both fail to inspire confidence
DD being out matters more than people think as well.
I pray for it every night
Coward
As a Thunder fan, I agree. I want us to prove we can beat the Spurs. And as long as we get JDub back, I believe we will
The matchup we all really want…except the Thunder themselves lol
East could surprise, but that feels like the Finals matchup
Obviously biased but I think if spurs get out of the west then the Knicks have a chance. We’ll get cooked by OKC but we match up fairly well against Spurs and played them and won in the tournament already
idk about cooked i think it would be a fun series. leaning okc but you never know how things pan out. Anyway got to make the finals the win (or lose) the finals
Reigning NBA Champions to start a postseason 7-0 or better:
The repeat record of these teams is not actually as good as one would expect.
Uknown, No, Yes, Yes, No, Yes
I realize you mean OKC is the unknown, but I read it as the 49 Lakers outcome was unknown…like wtf how is it unknown
Lost to the sands of time, we’ll never know
It‘s all mythical, like Wilt’s 100 point game
haha
The two nos both lost to a team they beat in 7 the year prior, and both got beaten easily.
Pacers aren’t here to stop OKC lol
I am deeply curious what pop can do to help scheme up the spurs to go up against OKC next round. If OKC wins that in less then 6 then I think it’s over but a competitive spurs series followed by the knicks and it’s not impossible that someone snipes ‘em.
Man that 88-89 lakers.
They swept the first 3 round then magic and byron got injured in the finals then they got swept.
Lakers have the most FTs out of all teams in the last 5 years by a landslide btw
That would be interesting to see
A landslide?
Any more weird narratives to push r/NBA?
No, as a Lakers fan they (The Thunder) are a much better team and would win this series even if there weren’t any refs.
That still doesn’t mean the refs were good the first two game.
Aliens
GRRM finished GoT but his ego is too afraid that people will hate his ending so he’s waiting to publish them posthumously
Reaves really going to get some GM fired for signing him to a max deal
It’ll be Rob Lowe
Guess we won’t get to live in a future where the “Exciting Whites” Lakers dominate the NBA after all
heavy Chandler Parsons vibes
get that bag tho, reeves
can’t wait til you’re waving your arms in Cancun tho
The refs really got hot from 3 in the 4th quarter to seal it out.
Almost like a team that’s 6 deep struggles to keep up with a team that’s 12 deep in the second halves.
Honestly, we did better than I expected, but they just have too much to throw at us.
Good game Lakers! Can’t wait for the next game 👍🏽
Hope okc blows them out so bad.. I want to see children cry
It really became the 3 point contest for OKC at the end of the game
Karl Malone will wanna join the Lakers since it looks like we’ll be stuck at 17 for a while.
He did at 14.
Jordan would never go down 0-3 to the Thunder because they didn’t exist back then
Big if true
Never thought of it like that
shai never dropped 40 on Jordan
Lakers should spend their halftime on treadmills or something.
All jokes aside this is a young mans game. Luka Kennard and Bron are cool but look at the top teams. Detroit, Spurs, OKC all of them are young players and cohesive teams with depth.
What’s your excuse for lakers loss? 25:10 FTA. Take all Thunder Ft away still win by double digit
No one really said we lost because of the previous loss. Complaining about the officiating and also accepting that the Thunder are the way better team aren’t mutually exclusive.
Fade me.
Rest vs rust about to be the narrative for OKC while Minny and SA beat each other to death.
Same on the other side
Knicks likely sweep and wait for the Pistons and Cavs to beat each other up, especially if Cleveland wins again and ties it up
“Domin-Ayton”
We got the full Deandre Ayton experience tonight
I think we might look back at these playoffs as the Thunder just steamrolling everyone. Only Wemby is capable of saving us.
doing this after winning a championship is crazy
This team has no weaknesses
Why would the refs do this?
At this point the Lakers just need to go WWE on the refs
Lakers are cooked.
Much better officiated game tonight.
Thunder is just too deep and talented.
Much better officiated.
One lakers player had nearly as many ft’s as the thunder. Wonder why you preferred it.
Didn’t say that. I just meant the refs allow the game to flow much better without stoppage every time.
You’re right. The refs in Game 2 completely wrecked the flow of the game. Excessive stoppages, weird-ass calls, they were awful. Tonight was much better.
Lebron James will make history coming back from 3-0.
DOESN’T MATTER, LEBRON WILL BREAK HISTORY AS THE ONLY TEAM IN NBA HISTORY ONCE AGAIN TO COMEBACK FROM 3-0 DEFICIT. MARK MY WORDS!
THE GOAT LEBRON JAMES WILL ASTONISH YOU ALL!
***hugs*** its going to be ok. this is not going to happen. Lebron will make history as the only Goat to get swept.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
Save us Wemby you’re our only hope
