@flossyy14 @spurs_muse No one in Oklahoma is worried about or hating on the Knicks right now. We’re saving that for the finals. Your post was just ridiculous and now you’re catching some flak.

@JustinAJensen @spurs_muse I’m done arguing with yall clowns who live in small cities I get that it’s cool to hate on ny but damn lol

Dog the Thunder and Spurs are playing EACHOTHER. Knicks haven’t sniffed a team of that caliber yet. 😭

@flossyy14 @spurs_muse Brother

@JustinAJensen @spurs_muse Obviously both teams are improved from last year I’m just saying the series can go either way

@flossyy14 @spurs_muse The Knicks look good this postseason, but comparing last years Thunder to this years Knicks, while simultaneously talking about how y’all are different from last year is just laughable

@JustinAJensen @spurs_muse Bro what are yall not understanding the Knicks are a different team this year lol thibs was an idiot

@flossyy14 @spurs_muse That Pacers team sent the Knicks home last year….

@spurs_muse If obi toppin and Tyrese Haliburton took the thunder to 7 games im sure Jalen Brunson, Kat, og, Mikal and Josh hart can do the same yall motherfuckers don’t know ball

@Devthagoatxx @Balakay278 @BillSimmons Spurs are +3 from the line after two games….

@Balakay278 @BillSimmons U sound dumb asf sga is a flopper fuck okc yall ain’t winning shit once the spurs go home refs won’t make it out of Texas if they pull this shit in San Antonio fucking cheaters

I didn’t think Hartenstein was playable in this series — but if he’s gonna be allowed to maul and grab Wemby like this on every play he should play 48 minutes. This is hilarious.

@DiegoOa14 @WMxRyan @ESPNInsights After shooting 15 more free throws too 😅

@WMxRyan @ESPNInsights Keep crying bitch, apparently you lost by 20+ last game on home court because of refs 😭😭😭😭😭

The Thunder have beaten the Lakers in all seven meetings this season, the most consecutive wins against the Lakers in a single season (regular season and playoffs) since the 1976-77 NBA-ABA merger 😮 If OKC beats L.A. tonight, it'll be just the fourth time LeBron James has been swept in his career as well as the earliest round he's been swept.

@CollinRugg Burn in hell Tanner.

BREAKING: FedEx driver who pleaded guilty to kidnapping and murdering 7-year-old Athena Strand, has been sentenced to death. Tanner Horner snatched Athena while he was delivering a Barbie doll to her home in Paradise, Texas. At one point during the trial, jurors broke down in tears while hearing audio of Horner killing Athena after he told her to take off her shirt and said she was "really pretty." Athena repeatedly asked for her mother before she was killed. "Horner is then heard asking Athena to remove her shirt, and there are several moments when she says "no" and asks for her mom. That was followed by repeated sounds of crying, screaming and banging," NBC reported last month. Following three hours of deliberation today, Horner was sentenced to death by lethal injection.

@raheiser @i_need_top @sixringsofsteeI He also probably won’t shoot 16 free throws

@i_need_top @sixringsofsteeI Murray probably won't go 0-7 from 3 again

Thoughts on Nuggets/Wolves game 1?

@okcamars Kevin really wanted to stand out from the crowd.

@sejver4 @NBA__Courtside He’s 2nd in blocks and steals for the best defensive team in the league. Jokic leads a team that is 21st in defensive rating in deflections and rebounds… 😅

@JustinAJensen @NBA__Courtside So, he leads in...nothing?

Stan Van Gundy says Nikola Jokic is the same level defender as SGA 👀 “I think Jokic’s defense is underrated. I think that knock should’ve gone out 5 years ago. He’s not Wemby or Rudy Gobert, but he’s a solid defender…. I would put him the same level defender as I would put Shai on. I think Shai is good off the ball but never has to guard a high level scorer. Not because he can’t but they got Lu Dort, Cason Wallace, Jalen Williams. I’d put them on the same level” (Via Zach Lowe show)

@sejver4 @NBA__Courtside Shai is second in both steals and blocks for the Thunder, and averages more deflections per game than Jokic. He also averages the same amount of blocks as a 7’ center.

@JustinAJensen @NBA__Courtside Jokic leads Denver in Def reb, deflections and steals, what defensive metrics is SGA leading OKC in?

@sejver4 @NBA__Courtside Jokic is the 7th best defender on his own team, and the nuggets are terrible defensively.

@NBA__Courtside SGA is 7th best defender on his own team even with his athletic abilities. Jokic's IQ on defense is very high but his limited athletic abilities make him an avarege defender.

@SteveThunderfan If Wemby plays tonight to get to the 65 game minimum, then I think there’s a good chance that the Spurs sit all their starters against the Nuggets. Even though they have the “toughest” remaining games, Denver probably has the easiest path to hold onto the 3.

I’m officially antsy about the Nuggets in the 3 thing. Need the Lakers to lose to the Suns who don’t care or the Jazz who negative care, or the Nuggets to win out. Antsy.

@Anderson5678198 @VicLombardi @nuggets I expect OKC to sell hard, but maybe Denver doesn’t want to win for the same reason. They’re going to face the Thunder or the Spurs in the second round either way.

@JustinAJensen @VicLombardi @nuggets I know Denver this might go either way. We sometimes seem to suck more against shit teams than against good teams. We got beat by them in OT without Shai. I think we will win but its not a foregone conclusion

Okay, standings update: OKC is up by a thousand on the Clippers. An OKC win means they clinch the top seed. And that means OKC and San Antonio really don't have much to play for this weekend against the @Nuggets. The Nuggets are in a collision course with Minnesota.

@Anderson5678198 @VicLombardi @nuggets The Thunder are for sure going to try and lose. If Denver and the Spurs play in the 2nd round then the Thunder get to face a team in the WCF that just went to war.

@JustinAJensen @VicLombardi @nuggets Denver is always in close games against shit teams😭 Okc could put their b team and it would still be a close game mark my words. Unless they are trying to lose ( so that they dont play denver in round 2)

@Anderson5678198 @VicLombardi @nuggets OKC is going to punt on Friday against Denver, so unless the lakers can win out, Denver will be the 3 seed. They have the tiebreaker against Houston.

@VicLombardi @nuggets San Antonio dont want to face denver in round 2 so they have a big incentive to win

@tobi03_cavs @LegionHoops I just think that Shai has led a 4-5 seed quality team (when you account for all the injuries), and still made them the best team in the league. This nonsense about pushing Wemby because the Spurs are closing the gap on the Thunder is flippant.

@tobi03_cavs @LegionHoops I don’t disagree that too much weight has been put on the standings, but it’s still a big aspect. Shai wasn’t necessarily better than Jokic last year, but the win differential was hard to overlook. The Mavs were only 7 games behind, so imo he was deserving in ‘24.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander not being at the top of the NBA’s MVP rankings is so disrespectful. Say what you want about his play style, but he’s the best player on the best team in the NBA. The Thunder are likely going to win another championship this year, and it’s largely because of him. Remember all the noise when the Lakers won 9 straight games? OKC has won 12 straight. Let’s be real. SGA is the MVP… and it’s not even close.

@tobi03_cavs @LegionHoops The thing that voters should be looking at it is that Shai has led the Thunder to the best record in the league despite having the second most missed games due to injury.

@LegionHoops I think SGA should be MVP as well but the “best player on the best team” is the worst argument possible for MVP. Literally MVP is MOST VALUABLE PLAYER meaning the MVP should be the best player on a mediocre/ok team without him exceeding expectations.

@Skiled593198 @Dustin_S03 @SwipaCam He’s saying that he’s tied with Shai in clutch points despite playing in more games, and the nuggets are barely above .500 in those games. What about that doesn’t make sense?

@Dustin_S03 @SwipaCam That makes no sense. The award is clutch player of the year. It’s for the clutch No matter how many more games he has played that doesn’t affect this.

Jamal Murray is currently the Clutch Player of the Year and people need to wake up: 157 Clutch Points (T-1st/SGA) 58.2% 2PT in clutch 😳 41.9% 3PT in clutch 😳 82.8% FT in clutch 26 Assist in Clutch 6 Steals 4 Blocks
