[Highlight] Post game interview with Jared McCain, and NBC closes the broadcast showing Thunderstorms fittingly brewing in the San Antonio sky
Can’t imagine having VJ, Maxey, and McCain as a core moving forward. Thanks god we sold high
Blurrrrggghhh!
I’m sorry 😂
I’m not. A man this joyful deserves to win at the highest level
I agree but damn man 😂
You just don’t see the vision. Sure, without the great Putrid Pee McCain could be starting but then what would you do with all that leftover money? Better use it on someone who has underdelivered for half a decade instead. But now McCain is expendable and what’s this non sense of giving him time to rehabilitate after an injury? Let’s sell high for a pick in the 20s. That pick could be anything! Even a good ball handler, playmaker and shooter who can defend!
Well that makes sense though. The only thing cheaper than a rookie in year 2 of their contract is a rookie in year 1 of their contract. I see the vision
I hate it here
It’s like a reverse Mike Muscala except Daryl did it for the love of the game
How did you not tie him to the Liberty Bell by his nuts after that trade?
It’s a JOKE reddit
don’t ban me over a joke pls
I legit saw sixers fans saying that they have too many guards and they couldn’t use him LOL
You saw idiots. 95% know how stupid Morey is
Don’t let a guy the 6ers traded away playing 24 minutes in a WCF game distract you from the fact that two guys the 6ers cut played 43 minutes in the same game
Your EX GM was a liar.
I will personally never play for any team that liar is a part of. I won’t play for any other team either but I especially won’t play for him
Just jumping on here to add that Morey also waived Hartenstein on the Rockets
And yet Morey still has way too many defenders amongst the Sixers fan base
I feel like I’m surrounded by idiots in that sub
Need to sell the team and clear the front office. Phillies too, selling off the naming rights around CBP was a bad sign
[removed]
People are salty but I thought this was funny
I also know your GM is homophobic too.
Dont forget about Paul Reed who outplayed the 2 Centers ahead of him in the rotation if we wanna talk about the 2026 playoffs lol
It’s too bad Yabusele was so ass this season. We could have made a solid starting five of 76er cast-offs.
Wait who
Champagnie (35 min) Isaiah Joe (9 min)
Champagnie is fucking lethal. I didn’t really know his game, but he has made himself known
You’re talking him up like he’s Larry bird
You must not know about Larry Bird nephew
Ughhhhh. If we didn’t have the eagles I’d wanna rope myself. What the fuck are we doing man
Flyers beat Crosby and the Pens at least
Gonna be tough watching Jalen Hurts throw the ball again this season
60% 3pt spot up shooter champagnie?
Yea the 6ers dont need that guy lmao
Isaiah Joe is one of them
Joe hurts the most out of all of them. People shit on Daryl for the McCain move but that just feels like Josh Harris trying to save money for more island getaways.
Daryl was so dismissive of Joe in interviews it’s honestly embarrassing how you’re so wrong and so arrogant about it.
Morey has this ego that doesn’t allow him to say the political thing or even the right thing, just what makes him look like a genius. Not hard to just say “He played his heart out, wish him the best”
Contrast that with McCain, who said he wanted to prove the people who believed in him right. Dude just focuses on positivity and even thanked Morey for drafting him.
And Joe clearly always had like the perfect jumpshot. He was a plus defender with an absolute textbook jumpshot and for some reason we let him go
Oh damn didn’t know that
Still fucking hate Morey for adding a poison pill to Linsanity’s Houston contract. Fucking idiot thinks he’s more clever than he is.
Who?
Don’t forget about trading bridges immediately to the suns after drafting him for a guy whose name I can’t recall and barely played a season. Sixers front office 😞
7’4 Victor Wembanyama - 4 rebounds
6’3 Jared McCain - 4 rebounds
Chet has 3 bro
Wemby’s taller bro
His upcoming vlog gonna hit like crazy.
Caption gon be some crazy shit like “i went against a giant alien!”
His last one was “I BEAT LEBRON IN THE PLAYOFFS” or some shit like that 🤣
Cue 6-minute cut of him singing and trying on goofy ass clothes while his friend wholesomely mocks his fit with an even goofier one.
Cousin*
Awww, that’s even cuter. I had no idea.
Man, all of us thought this was a good trade for the Thunder when it happened. And all of us were wrong. This guy is INCREDIBLE! That trade was as lopsided as it gets.
Thats it we demand another Sam Presti statue make that 10 statues
Morey’s statue is more like it
We accept your terms 1 Morey statue next to 10 Presti
Nah Thunder fans knew how insane it was
We haven’t had a shooter like this probably since Paul George
The dude is in his second season too, like there’s a very real chance he develops into an even better player before he’s due a new contract even
Best part is that his defense has gotten visibly better in just the short time he’s been here. That’s the biggest weakness in his game and there’s a serious chance he makes huge strides there over the offseason.
Yep Caruso definitely got his hooks in. Can see him fouling less and sneaking back in to help collect boards. So different already from when he first arrived. Shame his 3s weren’t landing or he could have had like a 40 point game, imagine!
People keep talking about your team in the wrong ways.
“Look at their 11th man, he’s basically a starting caliber player…Presti is such a genius”
Bro. If every single player gets better at shooting the ball, passing the ball, dribbling the ball, boxing out, and defending while on the roster, you HAVE to look at the coaching staff.
This is partially where the NFL destroys the NBA in parity. NFL teams immediately poach any good OC’s or DC’s from elite teams to be their new HC. Meanwhile the 2015 Warriors and 2025 Thunder are going to go like 5 years before anybody will poach their guys realistically.
I couldn’t even begin to ponder how it worked for the sixers, it just seemed so fucking ridiculous that thunder got him
Many Sixers fans still argue in our sub the picks are more valuable
I must be blind or just numb to the idiots because all I see about this trade is that it’s unanimously hated by our fans
You are blind then, I continue to have arguments with people in our sub over it
ATP I’m pretty sure they just decided the city of Philadelphia couldn’t handle painted nails
ending with thunderstorms in the san antonio sky is just perfect
The lightning was a paid actor
From now on, every team should make sure never to trade with the Thunder.
That’s the thing. Presti makes good deals with other teams. He’s just an outstanding evaluator.
Presti only makes good deals for OKC though. The 76er’s got swindled for….. checks notes….. the 22nd FRP?
You could argue that Mccain wasn’t exactly the highest drafted player (16th FRP), however, why would you actively trade to get a lower FRP….
Its like gambling with a potentially worse outcome.
But Morey isn’t making that deal unless he can’t get better anywhere else. He was shopping Mccain and Presti was the highest bidder.
The deal was bad to begin with though, you’re tossing out a ROTY candidate (prior to his injury) for gambling on another FRP.
Morey not recognizing talent is why this is such a bad trade for Philly
Yeah exactly. Not because Presti swindled him. He was ready to make a bad deal with anyone.
I mean I still give Presti credit cause he was smart enough to string him along and given Sam’s relentless scouting this was just a freebie
I wont jinx anything but early congrats if yall got B2B.
Outside of the Spur’s, I dont think Ive seen a roster this deep in a very long time, with the ability to adjust to a multitude of different play styles.
It’s pretty well known that Morey traded him due to pressure from ownership to duck the tax.
I think it kinda reflects badly on every other team as well that nobody was willing to offer a better package for him. McCain is a star, and Presti saw through the rough start to his season.
That’s what I always say. If the Thunder are interested in one of your guys, there’s probably a good reason. If teams were smart, no one should ever trade with them.
The problem is he’s the fucking Godfather. He makes them an offer they can’t refuse.
Yeah it was really hard to refuse not paying luxury tax for Philly lol
I mean I bet if Sam presti made the AD for Luka trade, AD would become the mvp next season and Max Christie an all star, the guy just pulls crazy shit off
Specifically the Thunder only lol
What’s funny is how many teams the Thunder trade with repeatedly for the same reasons. The Knicks love to trade down on draft night for cap space. The Heat have looked for trade flexibility. The Clippers are willing to trade future draft assets for veteran stars. The Sixers try to get under the luxury tax. The Hornets have taken the Thunder castoffs repeatedly. Ditto the Wizards.
Wait til you see what the wizards do…..
LIGHTNING MCCAIN KA CHOW!
That’s gotta get picked up 😂
Also thanks to whoever sent me the RedditCares alert tonight! Much appreciated! Keep it classy, San Antonio!
Rofl I got one of these too. Funny shit
Spurs showing to be the softest fans in the NBA.
What is that?
I think it’s reddit version of a mental wellness check, lol.
It’s designed for people to report comments or users expressing suicidal tendencies
I might be wrong, but the intention is that if you see someone post a troubling comment (maybe something about hurting themselves), you can report the comment, and Reddit will send you a message that’s basically like, “Are you okay?” It’s mostly used as a way to slightly annoy people lol
I think too highly of spurs fans to think they’re the ones reporting this stuff into getting auto modded. I think there are a couple of other more likely fanbases that have hated us more in recent memory.
Cinema
Game of Zones level.
That was pretty fucking sick and cinematic. Mortal Kombat Lord Raiden type shit.
This entire series has been peak cinema. The idea of the telecast ending with a shot of lightning and thunder over the opposing arena is some anime stuff.
I love our Big Mac we shall cherish him forever and ever!
*sad trombone*
My pookie…build daryl morey a statue
dope visual, side note these storms keep interrupting my streams. Pretty annoying that we had one during game 2 also.
It’s that time of year. It’s actually been pretty quiet for May so far tbh
Jared McCain is such a genuinely fun player to watch. Very aesthetic game
Love you BIG MAC
JMac don’t give a damn bout no Wemby 😈😈😈
Jared “laughing storm” McCain
Weird Imagine Dragons reference inserted into there, Tirico. 😂
Oooo, ominous
Can we just outright ban the teams that helped create this monstrosity we call the OKC Thunder?
Demolish the clippers and the 76ers.
Unfortunately for you, the warriors are also responsible in a roundabout away. OKC traded Lindy Waters to the warriors for the rights to Quinten Post. Then flipped Quentin Post and cash considerations for the Blazers for the draft rights to Oso Ighodaro. OKC then flipped Oso and cash considerations to the Knicks for the pick that became Ajay Mitchell
I’m sure the the whole league is responsible in some round about way at this point 🤣
I forgot Lindy was still in the league until I saw him on the Spurs’ bench.
Jmac is a star btw
Perfect
This is turning into the LA SA 90s 00s where LA owned them for awhile. I’m kinda glad to see it’s OKC and not LA. If anyone deserves another ship it’s them after their heartbreaks.
So what the hate narrative gonna be? We blaming refs, flopping, I saw people in another sub trying to make the case that the defender leaving their feet to jump shouldn’t be a foul lol.
Imagine Dragons jumpscare
He’s been killing it
I BELIEVE IN YOU JARED! DO YOUR THING
Sold high
Give Morey a ring
Fuck bro that Maxey, VJ, and McCain core would’ve been amazing. 🤒
“I’ve got strong legs”. Love this guy
This is why Mike Tirico will always be a national treasure
Funny enough it’s been thundering the last couple of days
That was dope asf lol
It’s so funny last year I made a comment about the Pacers Thunder finals series being the “Lightning vs the Thunder”. I got downvoted. The next game after my comment, they were playing the song before a commercial break. Now an announcer is literally saying the band’s name.
Thunder been playing that song at games for years and that phrase has been used since the Thunder were born. But yeah, I feel your energy that is annoying
Would’ve been cool till he quoted the lamest band of all time
McCain making OKC slightly likable
i hate tirico doing these gams
This is a historically amazing WCF series and all people wanna do here is cry about refs. I really don’t get it. You guys don’t like basketball.
My man made Wemby look bitchmade.
And the Sixers just gave up on him
This is actually peak television
It’s just an ad for the stadium sponsor.
That moment was ruined with the Imagine Dragons reference.
Bad omen 💔
Poignant
I hear thunder but where are we seeing it? I thought lightning was what we saw.
I can’t lie that’s so tough
Is that whole team just unlikeable or what?
What in this clip could have possibly prompted you to say this
Big Imagine Dragons guy Mike Tirico
The Jared McCain hype is a little overblown after scoring 24 on 21 shots and was 2+10 from 3. Like it was a solid game but nothing spectacular
matatalo okc
Deliberately standing on camera and then covering your mouth to talk to someone looks goofy
The team is just so god damn corny. It’s unbearable.
I’ve seen this exact comment word for word at least 1000 times.
You sound like a miserable person
I hate their brand of basketball. Can’t even close out to three point shooters of OKC cuz they will just throw themselves into you somehow. Can’t guard SGA cuz he’ll shove you off balance with his off arm to make you get out of position which then makes his pump fake work. Fucking trash ass league. This game was just so bad for NBA basketball as an entertainment product. We should all be upset about OKC “gameplans”. The way they play is bad for the NBA at large.
Oh look now they like the cameras on them
Clown
This is so silly. It’s a post game interview after the game is over in a controlled setting. Surely you can understand how that’s different than after heading into overtime in your team huddle
Trash fucking league
[deleted]
As opposed to all the teams who show out for the cameras in a loss
idk I feel like our guys were genuinely pretty giddy while they were being whooped lol
Why those douchebags just standing around behind him like that… Oh look they love the cameras again.
I’m genuinely glad this kind of meaningless shit bothers you
Right? Must be nice to live a life where something like that would bother you.
Every interview for years the team does together 🤣
Exposing yourself for the less than casual fan you may have passed for.
We’ve been doing this for years, from the time we were in the lottery. I get you’re amped up, and you feel like you are on the right side of history, but easy bruv.
Imagine your existence is this miserable lmao 🤣
No one gives a shit about this nail painting guy
Mfs get belt to ass and their homophobia comes out
Fr 😅😅😅
I don’t even like the sours, everyone hate this shit ahh team
