37 combined free throws tonight vs 70 on Tuesday

Going from Tony Brothers to Zach Zarba is like escaping your abusive cave troll of an ex and going straight to a date with fuckin Helen of Troy

Game 7 was inevitable. I speak for every NBA fan that we don’t want the Tony brothers officiating Game 7. Let them play

I got 2 words for you: Victor Wembanyama and Dylan Harper, must see TV

2 BEST WORDS IN SPORTS

I say this as an atheist: those nuns have to be in the next game.

Game 7 is gonna be toxic af lol

Adam Silver and NBA fans will get what they want: A Game 7 war between these two teams

SGA with a 15/1/4 in a closeout game isn’t gonna quiet the haters.

-28

FLY THE NUNS TO OKC

If my team got outscored by 19, the last thing I’d want to hear is a mariachi band. shit would piss me off so bad 😂

I feel like Fox is the new Rudy Gobert in that he’s become a litmus test for whether you actually watch games or just read box scores and check highlights. He couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat today yet still was so valuable for the spurs.

Wemby playing under thirty minutes tonight is a massive blessing. Praying he can keep his energy up for game seven.

Some thoughts on Game 6

San Antonio came out hitting almost every three they took and moved the ball really well to find the open man. The Thunder couldn’t match the barrage but were able to generate a lot of smart basket through dribble hand offs and stretching the Spurs defense to the three point line. However, those open threes that they made in the previous games were not falling as often. Spurs would play their Wemby zone whenever he’s on the court and the corner shooter just didn’t hit enough to punish them.

Spurs are still being heavily outmatched on non-Wemby minutes. Its less pronounced this game because everyone was hitting threes, but whenever Wemby comes off the floor that Thunder offense tries to rev up and slam into them. Jared McCain was a main driver for the half court Thunder offense, he was not afraid of penerating and attacking the basket and generated a lot of opportunities. Although because both their on-ball creators shot terribly tonight, they couldn’t get a lot of open threes from kick outs.

During the second quarter when the Spurs looked like they couldn’t miss and the Thunder offense stalled out, SGA took it into his own hands and generated 10 straight points to bring the lead back to manageable. Overall he really has underperformed this series with him struggling to hit shots he normally makes. The physical play and Spurs having 4 good defenders to deal with him is resulting in disappointing outings. I did remember seeing he had a wrist or hand issue but without their single best offensive weapon, the Thunder just have so little options for half court offense.

It won’t be a Spurs-Thunder game without a quarter dedicated to extremely early bonuses for both teams. The third quarter was a slugfest of physical basketball and both teams were making worse defensive plays and committing more silly fouls. The Spurs proceeded to blow the game open in the third when the Thunder literally could not buy a basket, even with the Spurs turning it over quite a few times.

Thunder have to hope they can hit their threes and SGA finds his shot back. JDub is clearly not ready for playoffs load and McCain cannot be relied on for the entire game to carry the offense, especially if his shots are also not falling.

Biggest takeaway from this game is when the Spurs hit threes, their offense is very pretty as shooters force defensive attention and the guards can just attack relentlessly. Also non-Wemby minutes were actually good this game. They slowed down the pace and just focused on denying easy looks, it helped that they were able to still hit threes while Wemby sat and the Thunder shooters could not. Biggest is that Castle and Harper have calmed down on their turnovers and have much better ball security denying that transition offense that the Thunder love, even when Thunder get out in transition, the Spurs have been really good at denying easy transition buckets.

Super excited to watch Game 7, I’m happy as long as its a close game with great basketball from both sides.

Wemby postgame: “I’m just here so I don’t get fined.”

Wemby is done with the media lol

Shai is -28 for the series

Wemby is +55

I’m tuning out all the noise, this season has been a resounding success for the Spurs.

Pushed the defending champs to game 7 of the WCF in their very first playoff run eith this core. Absolute hell of a performance in their very first elimination game.

Regardless of what happens on Saturday, I’m so proud of these guys, this has been such am incredible season, and it’s been a joy (and at times nearly heart attack inducing) to watch it all!

Wemby is currently giving no fuck in that post-game interview LMFAO

Wemby consulted with a lawyer and realized that “I don’t remember” is an acceptable answer lol

Second time this series OKC waved the white flag with more than a quarter to go. No heart. How can you not hate this team?

Please anyone other than Tony Brothers game 7

Winner of the game: fans.

No bullshit calls. Zach Zarba and co. called it fair and square.

Crazy how when the free throws are low the Spurs win by a lot

Real fuckin weird

Spooky, almost

Why did Wemby just run off? That was odd.

Spurs haven’t scored under 100 points this whole series. Thunder? Twice.

yes

YES

#YES

Hey Thunder

I didn’t hear no bell

Knicks came back down 22 without the MVP.

SGA genuinely may go down as the most forgettable multitime MVP when everything is said and done

yes, including Steve Nash

I know all the talk will be about Wemby but I think Castle, Vassell, and Harper played insanely good collectively. They are so much fun to watch, it’s like the opposite of the Thunder’s guards. My hatewatching OKC has turned them into my favorite team throughout the year.

Shai without the whistle

The Thunder have successfully kept their streak of horrific Game 6 performances alive. My god what a shit show.

Wemby got the fuck out of dodge😂

I want Zach Zarba, Scott Foster, and Tony Brothers to officiate Game 7. We might just a see a Ref fist fight.

In Corgi Atreides we trust!

No FTA means No SGA

Hell yeah fuck okc

Wemby with the Popovich answers lol

Vassell was crucial tonight. Carried the team and stopped any comebacks from OKC on both ends. What a player.

Shai literally cannot be conference mvp if they win game 7 lmao

will the ref crew that gets the nod for game 7 be the most scrutinised and dissected ever?

It’s tough when OKC are missing some key players. Hobbled J Will, Ajay, and Tony Brothers. They’re going to need at least 2 of those 3 for game 7.

That was a FU interview by Wemby. Love it.

Hope remains alive.
