I would guess everyone online loves the physicality and grabbing that’s happening tonight.

@SheaSerrano OKC in 5 but screw that guy. We don’t claim him.

most of the thunder fans saw me talking shit about spurs in 6 and rightfully started talking shit back because that’s what makes the playoffs fun and then there’s this guy lol what a dork

@SteveThunderfan Perfect summary

Hard to complain about 45% from three lol but my god McCain had so many wide open kill shots miss lol (he was awesome obvs) The whistle in that 3rd quarter almost killed me. How was it not a foul on the Caso three lol J-Will, special. Caruso and iHart man, Sam I ❤️ u 4eva.

San Antonio out here acting like wimps. These are basic playoff fouls. Not even hard fouls. Grow up.

@SteveThunderfan 123-93 is exactly how you want to close out a game

@JD_Brown9 I was doing it every time they cut 4 or whatever off the lead lol Well it’s still 65-38 since that start!

Anybody else spend the whole game subtracting 15 from the Spurs score to see what it was after 15-0 lol 123-93 btw

Jared McCain is 6’3”. Goes into Wemby’s body and scores. Not entirely sure why Wemby threw his head back like that but surely all the talking heads will dedicate full segments to it.

The Spurs have made 3 shots in this quarter and have 26 points. Remember when old Madden games had a "Keep Close" mode?

Might be the weakest flagrant foul I’ve seen. Congrats internet. You got that weak shit you’ve been begging for.

OKC weathering those first couple of minutes

Watch the defenders feet on every single shot, their feet move under him and Shai has to fall to avoid tearing his knees and ankles from landing on them Truly sad that this is what is called “flopping” now. It’s flagrant fouls

@tomhaberstroh @Tayler_P15 Falling does not equal a flop. Shai falls on every off-balance shot he takes because trying to catch himself when off balance leads to turned ankles, pulled muscles, etc. This isn’t hard.

I just charted every SGA shot in this series and counted how many times he fell. I'll share the info here shortly: youtube.com/live/jzPgKE7Wc…

@thewarnerwest @SteveThunderfan The spurs reporters are not painting an optimistic picture based on what they saw postgame.

@SteveThunderfan @JD_Brown9 I will say he didn't "try to come back" exactly; he thought the Spurs were in the bonus and that he had to shoot the free throws. He apparently was hobbled in the locker room. I do think Dub's previous injuries will probably keep him out longer though.

Just got 3 responses in like 5 minutes about being a doomer lol, I guess some group chat is talking about me I think Harper and Fox will be back before Dub. We could definitely still win but it’s a big blow, Dub’s combo of size and offense does not exist elsewhere in the roster.

@SteveThunderfan Why do you think Harper will be back before Dub?

If Fox or Harper come back, we’re gonna struggle to put enough offense on the court while containing their guards, having to stay big without Dub. And the Caruso/Dub smallball on Wemby isn’t an option. The series isn’t over but it’s uphill now, I’m sorry if that upset anyone.

The Caruso Coliseum™️

@HT_Rapport @The_Uncontested I’ve blacked out game 1 tbh.

@JD_Brown9 @The_Uncontested Was this game wym

Mitchell is a good defender.

@Tayler_P15 He was absolutely gassed over the last 5 minutes. Hart was too, but I’ll take that trade-off.

Look, man… Wemby is going to get gassed at some point this series.

@SuaveCEO_ And it turns out that was a massive mistake

Mark Daigneault is opting to go with Shai and Dub on the bench, hoping Jared McCain and Ajay Mitchell can generate offense for OKC, here midway through the fourth.
