I hope Shai shoots 1000 free throws through the playoffs just to piss everyone off lol

I'm going to keep this simple for all the people 😭 that SGA is a "foul baiter". Damn right he is. Y'all have been so indoctrinated by the "3 Ball era" that you forgot what actual 🏀 looks like! Driving the 🏀 to the rack, and drawing fouls have always been apart of the game.

@ohnohedidnt24 OKC called for 4 more fouls. Find something else to blame your 35 point loss on.

@Damish57491859 @brawadis We’ve shot 2 more free throws than them 😂😂keep with the excuses

To my Oklahoma family; this piece comes straight from the heart. I hope you’ll take a moment to read it and feel what I felt. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of it. I came to @okcthunder to play basketball. I left carrying 168 lives. When I was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder, I was thinking about basketball, nothing more. I didn’t know that before I ever stepped on the court, this place would show me something that would stay with me far longer than any game. Like any player, my mind was on the game. A new team, a new city, a new opportunity. I expected the usual routine when I landed in Oklahoma City. Physicals, practices, meetings, and a jersey waiting in a locker. But before any of that, Sam Presti pulled me aside and told me there was somewhere we needed to go. He didn’t explain much, and I didn’t think to ask. I was focused on the next step in my career. What I didn’t understand was that, before I could represent the place I was about to play for, I needed to understand it. So instead of heading to the facility, he took me to the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum. I walked in without knowing what I was about to see, and within minutes, everything slowed down. There are 168 chairs at the memorial, each one representing a life lost on April 19, 1995. They are arranged in quiet rows, each engraved with a name, each standing where a person once stood in that building. Then you notice something that is impossible to process the first time you see it. Some of the chairs are smaller. They belong to children. There is no speech that prepares you for that, no headline that captures it. You simply stand there, and the silence carries a kind of weight that is hard to describe but impossible to ignore. As you walk through the memorial, you pass between two gates marked 9:01 and 9:03. At first, they seem like simple numbers, but then you understand what they hold. One marks the last minute before the attack. The other marks the first minute after. And in between those two gates is 9:02, the moment when everything changed. That minute does not feel like history when you are standing there. It feels present. The reflecting pool stretches across what used to be a city street, its surface calm and still. When you look into it, you do not just see water. You see yourself standing in a place where unimaginable loss occurred, and for a moment, everything else in your life becomes quieter. Nearby stands the Survivor Tree, an American elm that was damaged in the blast but endured. It is not untouched. Its scars are part of what it represents. But it is still standing, and in that, it carries a kind of strength that does not need to be explained. We did not speak much while we were inside. It did not feel like a place for conversation. Some places ask for words. This one asks for reflection. When we stepped outside, Sam Presti looked me in the eye and said, “This is what this state has been through.” Then he said something I will never forget. “Every time you step on that court, you are not just playing in front of fans. You are playing for a state that carries this with it. Give them everything you have. They deserve that.” In that moment, basketball felt different. Not smaller, but clearer. Because what I had just seen was not only about what was lost. It was about what remained. A state that had experienced unimaginable pain and still chose to come together, to rebuild, and to move forward without losing its humanity. From that day on, every time I stepped on the court, I carried that with me. On the nights when I was tired, when I was hurt, when I was dealing with challenges that felt heavy in the moment, I would think about those chairs, about that minute, about the people behind those names. And I was reminded that what I was going through did not compare to what this state had endured. oklahoman.com/story/opinion/…

@DrGorillaFarts @The_Uncontested Loser mentality. @TermineRadio expect nothing less from a little bitch

Termine’s hate for the Thunder continues to be one of the most insane things.

@The_Uncontested It IS Wredtlemania weekend! He’s auditioning!

(This was obviously a dumb play by McDaniels and he should not have done it) But Jokic ALWAYS oversells any contact like this.

Irony from nuggets fans “they were all fouls!!” About Jamal’s 16FTs. SGA Shoots 6 in a game & it’s “FLOPPER! FT MERCHANT!!!”

@benlbagby @CooperJNBA I can respect that

@TartDad @CooperJNBA Nah, not a fan of Finch. Hate foul baiting , become a cancer to the game but just because a guy shoots a lot of FT doesn’t mean he is baiting. Jokic only shot 1 FT and I have no issue. It was more about weak calls, less about baiting. Wolves actively try to be physical w/Murray.

Chris Finich on Jamal Murray shooting 16 free throws in Game 1 of Wolves-Nuggets: "He initiates the contact, he spills away and then he gets rewarded for it. Jokic does the same thing… 16 free throws is a lot.”

Where’s that same energy for ***?

Man goes viral for tattooing Luka Doncic’s accolades on his arm 😳

The two most annoying fanbases on Twitter

OKC fans looking at Chris Finch after Murray got 16 freethrows since he was btching about Shai the whole time

While it’s disappointing to see the 2025–26 season come to an end earlier than we had hoped, I could not be prouder of the resilience our @Capitals players displayed throughout the year. One of the most encouraging aspects of this season was the progress of our young players, several of whom made their @NHL debuts. We believe strongly in the foundation we have in place, and our emerging talent will only continue to develop and strengthen our team in the seasons ahead. As I shared last week, we will fully support our captain, @ovi8, and give him the time he needs to determine his playing future. I want to sincerely thank the @penguins organization, as well as Sidney Crosby. Our final home game of the season - the 100th matchup between Ovi and Crosby - will forever hold a meaningful place in our organization’s history. To our fans: thank you. Your energy and passion are the heartbeat of this franchise. I look forward to seeing you back at @CapitalOneArena this fall! #ALLCAPS

@benlbagby @CooperJNBA Betcha had his back when he was saying about OKC. Lol.

@CooperJNBA The boy who cried wolf (pun intended!) No offense but this is becoming a common theme from Finch. Needs to stop making excuses for his teams overly physical style of play and start learning to adjust and not just be a bunch of thugs on the court.

@CooperJNBA Now now nugs fans. You can’t say he’s just complaining now but when he says it about okc point and say he’s right. Try to have at least a little integrity.

@NickHertzogInc Why are you so worried about another player?!? Worry about Minnesota

There goes the "objective" argument that SGA is the best shot maker in the NBA So what we're left with is that Shai was the dominant offensive engine on a great team, so that *feels* like MVP

The most successful teams always become villains to everyone else because their excellence forces uncomfortable truths. The haters aren’t analyzing tape; they’re processing disappointment. The Thunder (and any champ) should wear it as a badge of honor. If no one was calling them foul-baiters, they’d probably be .500.
