Simply put, THANK YOU!!! WE DID IT BABY!!!

Quite possibly the most Oklahoma post of all time

@Carsobi I'd be sick if I was a Rockets fan. That was awful.

This has been an unbelievable series from Marcus Smart. Just making play after play. He and Bron have carried their weight every night. Meanwhile, the Rockets keep finding new ways to be a disaster. One of the ugliest series I've ever seen from a team. What can you even say?

@stoolpresidente At least you don’t have to listen to Doris Burke every game

This may be the worse annoucing crew I’ve ever heard. They are going bananas every shot. #celticsvssixers

@DanLevyTheMan69 @HPbasketball

@ProblemHD_ @HPbasketball That’s quite literally what he’s saying bud. Tell me how he’s saying otherwise

I have said this repeatedly: there is no DATA that suggests they have an unfair advantage. The trend is basically "they have the 9th lowest defensive foul rate and it should be bottom 5, they have the 17th highet offensive foul rate and it should be bottom five" and that sure doesn't seem right, either .

@SteveThunderfan Teams up 2-0, G3 on road, series ended 4-1 (2003–2025): • 1st Round: 13-21 (38.2%) • Conf Semis: 3-7 (30.0%) • Conf Finals: 2-4 (33.3%) • NBA Finals: 2-1 (66.7%) TOTAL: 20-33 (37.7%) across 53 games. Definitely the biggest hurdle in a gentleman's sweep

This first road game up 2-0 has to be the most common L in a gentleman’s sweep right? Hopefully the Dublessness keeps them on high alert, cuz I’m sure the Suns will bring it.

@SteveThunderfan NBA teams up 2-0 playing Game 3 on the road (2003–2025): • 1st Round: 54-49 (52.4%) • Conf Semis: 15-26 (36.6%) • Conf Finals: 7-13 (35.0%) • NBA Finals: 4-7 (36.4%) Total: 80-95 (45.7%) across 175 games.

@DanLevyTheMan69 @HPbasketball You clearly have no idea what's going on.

@ProblemHD_ @HPbasketball You realize he’s talking about you retards thinking OKC has an advantage right lol

@ballislife12161 @Mishbia15 Buddy is posting bad calls like it's some type of flex 🤣

@ProblemHD_ @Mishbia15 You got a lot more than one, buddy. Should I keep going?

I am 100% behind Devin Booker here. Last night was not a good look for our league. Let me be clear, we didn’t lose because of officiating, but that doesn’t make last night any less important. If the referees are going to demand respect from the players - as they should - then the players should demand respect from the referees. When a referee is missing calls and clearly disrespecting the players, almost mocking them, they must be held accountable. Nobody who loves this game enjoyed watching that last night. They want to see the players compete at the highest level. The league needs be far more aggressive about this kind of thing. All players and all fans deserve it.

@ballislife12161 @Mishbia15 Surely you realize the difference between a fan and a player / owner talking about the refs? Maybe you don't, and that's okay.

@BelieveTheLand @Mishbia15 Yep, I watch a lot of hoops and do see how bad it is on a nightly basis. Great game going on against Toronto btw

@ProblemHD_ @Mishbia15 I’d imagine that’s your opinion. You see a whole lot of it

@randomton @grok Sorry that reality doesn’t agree with whatever word vomit you were spewing

@ProblemHD_ @grok you slop you flop: immediate forfeit of all arguments and tacit agreement you're a loser, forever to be ignored

My algorithm is ~60% people complaining about the OKC whistle right now. I understand why it annoys Thunder fans, but their most common responses ("why would the league rig things for small-market OKC?!" and "look where we rank in free-throw attempts!") misses the point. The reaction is more about the difference in the way the Thunder are allowed defend and the way their opponents are. And no one (at least not that I've seen) has come out and said the league is intentionally rigging games for OKC. That is, as the Thunder fans seem to think, ridiculous. But anyone who watches with a shred of objectivity can see the difference. It's a product of a couple things. First, for decades, the NBA has allowed more physicality from players who establish a defense-first reputation early in their careers (think back to Bruce Bowen). The Thunder have several of those players. Second, OKC is incredibly consistent (one of their team strengths!) about holding, grabbing, hacking, embellishing contact from offensive players from opening tip to final buzzer, and that's a tactic that certainly isn't exclusive to the NBA. They employ the "if we just foul everyone all the time, the refs can't call all of it," strategy to stunning effect. None of that is to suggest OKC is cheating or undeserving of its success. The Thunder are an incredibly talented, perfectly built, well-coached, well-oiled machine, led by one of the greatest guards in NBA history. They're almost certainly going to win their second straight championship. But it's not hard at all to see why people have a hard time watching them play.

@grok @randomton

Denver's 2023 title ranks among the easiest in the last 50 years. As the West's No. 1 seed (53-29), they beat the No. 8 Timberwolves (42-40, 4-1), No. 4 Suns (45-37, 4-2), No. 7 Lakers (43-39, 4-0), then the Heat (play-in team, 4-1). Opponents' combined regular-season win % was just 53.05—one of the five softest paths ever per historical data. No major upsets or juggernauts. Solid run, but low difficulty.

@randomton Hey @grok over the last 50 years, where does Denver’s 22-23 NBA Finals championship rank in terms of difficulty?

@ProblemHD_ @AndrewDBailey @HPbasketball for '23, if the Lakers were so bad, why were they in the WCF? was KD or the Warriors bad too? they beat the teams that beat the higher seeds, lol

J Dub playing with one hand, Chet recovering from a broken hip, and no Ajay Mitchell — yet the Nuggets still got belt in Game 7. The fuck are you talking about? That Lakers team in the WCF was an awful 7 seed. Denver played a 7 seed in the WCF and an 8 seed in the Finals — super tough road! 😂 All your boys played and you still got whooped. The Nuggets' brief run is done, OKC is taking over the league and you're upset, I get it, but you do have to deal with it. Cope and seethe pussy

@ProblemHD_ @AndrewDBailey @HPbasketball JDub vs Jamal - flu AG - calf, hammy MPJ - torn shoulder Westbrook - broken hands CB - ankle and hip PWat - hammy sure its different in '23 because most of the teams who went deep loaded up at the deadline, drastically changing the teams but then you've been watching 2 years

@randomton @AndrewDBailey @HPbasketball J Dub played most of the playoffs with one hand, don't talk about injuries 😂 "No matter the seed or record" Yeah, let's disregard one of the key metrics that determines how good a team actually is. "A useless chart" Because it doesn't fit your narrative 😂 Hold that L bozo

@ProblemHD_ @AndrewDBailey @HPbasketball hahahaha, points scored when OKC was gifted 6+ Scott Foster games, I'm dead. and vs heavily injured teams going to G7, oh man. '23 was against good teams, no matter the seed or record. so many one score games and 2 sweeps. what a useless chart but then, you can't read

@randomton @AndrewDBailey @HPbasketball You're right, it took beating an 8 seed in the Finals 🤣 That Nuggets team is one of the worst NBA champions of all-time. A 1 seed with 53 wins? Pathetic.

@ProblemHD_ @AndrewDBailey @HPbasketball here's a video for you, and it didn't take refball

@BelieveTheLand @Mishbia15 My opinion is that basketball refs in general (NBA and NCAA) are just bad at their job.

@ProblemHD_ @Mishbia15 I mean they have no shot in the series. However objectively, yall do get some wild calls constantly

@ssastro_ @Mishbia15 Hey man, you're the one who asked how, I just told you. Don't shoot the messenger.

@ProblemHD_ @Mishbia15 The self report is crazy
