Mr Mister

@trailblazers Way to play with physical and mental toughness and a never quit mentality…keep it going!!!

BLAZERS WIN!! BLAZERS WIN!!

@BlazersLead As a Thunder fan…Blazers can beat this team…Keep playing with physical and mental toughness and don’t ever let up…Maintain your focus and keep fighting no matter what!!!

In Game 1, San Antonio shot 19% better from three. They were given seven more free throw attempts. Wembanyama played a near perfect game — all of that and Portland still hung around The Blazers won the minutes when their starting lineup (Jrue, Scoot, Deni, Tou, DC) were on the court together. This is not a series where we are severely outmatched talent wise This is a series where shooting will fluctuate and we will get our opportunities. This is a series that will be won on the glass and in the margins. The Spurs were better in those margins in Game 1, but we lost by as much as we did because of the stark three-point shooting discrepancy We are not outmatched, we just have to play our best to win. Tonight I think the Blazers bring an extra level of intensity. The Spurs will have a Game 1 hangover from their Fiesta, let's punch them in the mouth in Game 2

@BlazersLead Let’s fn go 🔥🔥🔥

They’re going to make this moment about them. Let’s make it about us. We’re playing on NBC with their A-crew, primetime. The Spurs, a two-decade league staple, is making their return to playoffs for the first time since 2019. Victor Wembanyama, the man they’ve already christened as the next goat, is making his debut. Every highlight, every replay, every angle, story, snippet will be, by design, centered around them. We need to make it about us. The crowd will be incensed; they’ll be rowdy, rugged and loud. They’ll talk down on us, act like they’re of a different ilk. They’re royalty, we’re lucky to be here. It’s all just fuel to the fire. For the next two weeks we have the chance to stun the entire world. Everything to gain, nothing to lose. Every shot is a gift, every point is an opportunity. The moment will look like it’s about them, but tonight… Let’s make it about us. 🌹RCTID🌹

@tearyboi @Erick_CG23 @NBA__Courtside Again…These Spurs have done absolutely nothing in the playoffs…These are the playoffs not the regular season…Only the teams that been through those games have the earned that respect…Spurs haven’t earned nothing…Only one team that has and that’s the defending champions…smh

@Erick_CG23 @lcllsm1 @NBA__Courtside I mean it doesnt matter clearly they had problems with them this season lmao

Shaq says the Thunder can repeat IF they don't run into the Spurs: "Their culture is San Antonio like... There is only 1 team that scares me for them, that would be the Spurs.... I think they can win the championship if they don't meet the Spurs"

@tearyboi @NBA__Courtside These Spurs ain’t done crap in the playoffs…OKC is battle tested and ready for all challengers…what he should have said was if by chance the Spurs can get past the defending champs…they will be the favorites to win the championship OKC IS THE GOLD STANDARD…smfh

@lcllsm1 @NBA__Courtside That doesnt matter hes still right spurs only ones that thunder should be afraid of at all.

@Erick_CG23 @tearyboi @NBA__Courtside The team with the 2xMVP and historic defense…OKC takes on all challengers and they are just getting started

@tearyboi @lcllsm1 @NBA__Courtside Who has a better offense & defense the thunder or spurs?

@LegionHoops @NBA__Courtside The disrespect for the defending champs is notable..This Spurs team has done absolutely nothing..they have the same amount of championships as me…ZERO…OKC takes on all challengers...They are the defending champions and they will show everyone they aren’t going anywhere…LFG

Shaq on what OKC needs to repeat as NBA champions: “Just don’t run into the Spurs.” 🍿 (h/t @NBA__Courtside)

To understand where Lu Dort is now, you have to understand where he came from. The competitive fervor he brings to the court every night can't be taught; the get-it-out-the-mud mentality he has can't just be developed like getting shots up in the gym – you either have it or you don't. cnn.it/4vzJY33

@ESPNNBA The disrespect for the defending champions is notable…Stay on that side…OKC vs Everybody…LFG

This is crazy. lol Post it in the locker room @jdubwttp @ChetHolmgren @shaiglalex

@KevinOConnor How has such a respected media member sold his soul for clicks…smh

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander vs. Victor Wembanyama: My Hardest MVP Pick in 10 Years as a Voter Watch how I came to my decision on YouTube: youtu.be/p6NsrG_VdZo?si…

@ohnohedidnt24 Dude…there are levels to this…Suns barely made the playoffs…OKC is the defending champs and still the best team this season…you will get a first hand account of what that looks like and it starts with an L…smfh

Jordan Goodwin on facing OKC: "We in rhythm we just played. So that's how I'm looking at it. We fresh right now. Our adrenaline is still gonna be rolling they been sitting out a week. I know when that ball get tipped off we've been in battles for the past week so we're expecting a war so we gonna bring it to them"

@TheHerd @DannyParkins Facts…💯🔥🔥🔥

"This is about to be a coronation of the Oklahoma City Thunder... I still think the public, and frankly the media at large, underestimates what's going on with both SGA and this team." @DannyParkins thinks SGA will be in ELITE company once the NBA playoffs are done

@orlandokgw Play with uncompromising ruthless aggression…No fear 💪💪💪

"People didn't predict us to beat the Suns as well" Portland Trail Blazers Deni Avdija on the doubters and being the underdog against the Spurs "We're a dangerous team...We're not scared of anybody." #RipCity

@DamienPetersNBA Contrary to popular belief…OKC is the danger…If GS is fortunate enough to face the champs…they will find out first hand…All roads run through OKC…standing on business…💯

If you’re the Oklahoma City Thunder, do you really want to see Steph Curry in the first round…?

@CrainNBA This 🔥🔥🔥💯

There will be plenty of board movement and new datapoints as the pre-draft process unfolds, but I’m still very keen on Aday Mara being a brilliant fit in OKC with a late lottery pick.

@RunItBackFDTV @MichelleDBeadle Facts…Suns are going to play with ruthless aggression and with nothing to lose…💪💪💪

The Suns could be a PROBLEM for the Spurs 😳 "Phoenix was the first team to present physicality to Wemby. ... In a 7-game series, Wemby's gonna have to earn it." - Lou Williams "They have the roster to make it difficult for Wemby." - Chandler Parsons @MichelleDBeadle | @ChandlerParsons | @TeamLou23

MVP is the clear leader here, so here’s an early glimpse at our NBA Media poll at @ClutchPoints coming on Friday: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the clear No. 1 choice among media members by a wide margin. The race between Nikola Jokic & Victor Wembanyama for No. 2 was close.
