wow wat a respectful team, they’re winners in my book

Wilt. Bam. OKC.

I’m not celebrating until they’re dead.

I’ve seen enough horror movies.

We here!!!

world of basketball is healing

LETS GOOOOOO

Every hoops fan I know in New Orleans is rooting for the Spurs like our own team to hate on the Thunder right now

They need to hope one of them comes back

Which is why it’s funny that people say the Thunder are carried by their bench.

They are obviously good, but I don’t think people realized how many of those points were wide open 3’s because Shai was getting doubled.

As soon as you stop getting such good looks, it becomes clear that JDub following Ajay is huge for the team

We weren’t too much better. ⁹⁄₃₃.

Maybe we should just start settling at half court and the logo.

Came at the worst time too, because the Spurs couldn’t hit from 3 either and kept missing FTs.

I aint never seen Jaywill miss so much wtf

I guess if you want to put a positive spin on it, you can say “how likely is it that we shoot this poorly again?” Especially since Game 5 (and potentially Game 7) will be at home.

Wild what happens when the Spurs actually cover shooters.

I was still scared of the comeback until a few minutes into the 4th.

Jay Dub out that’s 18 big pts last game

This is exactly how they looked with no mitchell or jdub in the regular season. Sga NEEDS a 2nd ball handler especially when being hounded all game

SGA also with a team worst -18

Because for some reason Daigneault is basically 1:1 matching SGA’s minutes with Wemby’s. He’s almost never on the floor while Wemby is on the bench.

The Spurs are going to win Wemby’s minutes, period. Probably every game, definitely over the course of the series, probably by a huge margin (they’re like +50 over 4 games). With or without SGA on the floor. And Wemby is going to play 30-40 minutes every night, AKA a significant majority of the game.

Therefore the Thunder need to DOMINATE the non-Wemby minutes to have a chance in this one. Imo SGA should be on the court every second that Wemby is on the bench. Wemby basically deletes SGA’s entire offensive game by simply existing, he’s not taking over the game or even providing a significant boost over the next best ball handler while Wemby is out there. But when Wemby isn’t there he can have his way with Kornet or punish the Spurs like he has been if they decide to double.

He’s also still going to play 30-40 minutes so of course there will be overlap with Wemby’s minutes, but the Thunder should be doing whatever it takes to have SGA on the floor every. single. time. Wemby heads to the bench.

I mean he’s been getting that type of pressure the last two series. It was just an all around bad game for the team. It happens. See you in OKC 🫡

Yep. I’m willing to attribute a little of this to missing Ajay and jdub (not all of it, but it’s a factor), but that doesn’t excuse SGA. This is the exact type of game you would want your two time MVP to show up big for.

You Lakers people have plenty of time to watch and analyze. Lmao

If we can hit our shots 7 game series and if not…Spurs vs Knicks 

There’s still no definitive answer. We’ve got favorable calls in this game, which I don’t think will happen next game. OKC’s bench scoring will also not be this atrocious again, we’re just lucky we also shot poorly so we can expect a high scoring game 5. It boils down to SGA if he can beat Castle with a hovering Wemby, bc Spurs cannot afford another 80pt bench scoring from open looks and will probably not double for most of the game.

Cooked. Unless Jared McCain and/or Caruso shows up for 20+ points again

Thunder’s only real hope is that it’s now a best of 3 with 2 of the games at home, where typically role players shoot much better. They will need to have some super hot 3pt shooting to stand a chance without Mitchell

It’s the largest fta differential in the favor of the spurs in conference finals history, and the thunder are one overtime logo three from having been 3-1. Your narrative is wrong

You haters are so full of shit!! Exposed!! LMAO

Even though I will not blame the loss on officiating one thing we can’t do is be disingenuous this was clearly nowhere near fair lol one team has 32 and the other one had 18 lol

Thank you, people are trying to make it seem like it’s something that the spurs really did but if we’re being honest, they still left them pretty wide open on a lot of shots. They just missed. lol

I really like Jenkins as a coach. I’m not a Bucks fan, but I’d love to see him coach Giannis.

OKC is intentionally fouling by sending Spurs to the line instead of giving up layups or dunks.

Spurs are defending trying not to foul.

Fucking cup game against Milwaukee lol

Shot 16% from 3 that game so more of the same here

To be honest, I don’t really think that you can give much credit to them on this one because OKC was missing a lot of shots. There were actually very much available for them to make lol I have literally watched Jay Will airball a three with nobody on him lol

Saying they needed this game when they were up 2-1 and had the #2 and #3 ball handlers out with injury is hilarious. Genuinely couldnt be a game 4 they needed less. Obviously they would have loved to have it but like be fr.

We needed to get 1 of 2 to get home court advantage back. We did that.

Guy leading the league in clutch points isn’t clutch. Great opinion lol
