@BillSimmons If one of those Celtics bums was doing it Bill would be slobbering all over them.

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.

@ThunderFilmRoom That keep running face first into the wall

Jared McCain and Isaiah Joe out there together is like having two Energizer Bunnies running around off-ball on offense.

@JoelXLorenzi And unfortunately clanked three literally unguarded threes. Needed at least one of those to go

OKC had some good process (and results) against that zone in the third. Snuck some passes behind Wemby, got clean 3s. Thunder ahead 96-88 entering 4Q.

@ThunderFilmRoom Very stupid Caso, Dort iHart lineup allowing triples on Shai. 100% on Daignault

Maybe the worst possible start you could have to the 2nd half.

@Rylan_Stiles Who would have thought that a lineup with Wallace, Dort, and IHart would allow SA to triple up on SGA? Shocker!

Wemby gets away with using the Madden truck stick, and Mark Daigneault is not happy as he calls this timeout. Rightfully so.

@ThunderFilmRoom Just garbage.

Can't be this sloppy in the non-Wemby minutes.

@Three_Cone SGA well below his standard. Chet was terrible. Ajay suddenly looked like a tentative bench player. All has to change immediately.

Thunder defense was genuinely really good last night btw, just pick it up offensively and they’ll be good

@Balakay278 @Rylan_Stiles 3-14

@Rylan_Stiles Shai isn’t the problem lol. He spent the whole first half making the right play and one dude could make a shot.

It is a star-driven league. SGA has not been good enough tonight, and the Thunder are down 7.

@Rylan_Stiles Shai plays like this, Thunder are cooked.

@HPbasketball Wemby is BY FAR the best Euro-grifter we have seen in this league since Manu, and I mean that as a compliment. Jokic is a rank amateur in comparison.

Wemby could have fallen and complained to the officials instead of staying active and attacking again and again.

@Three_Cone Well, crap halves from Shai, Chet, and Ajay, lets improve, what do we say?

Spurs are gonna keep loading up on Shai, have to hit threes off those doubles Caruso has been awesome, would love to see more of McCain and some Joe in the second half Ajay’s gotta be aggressive

@ThunderFilmRoom Daigs clowned himself with that Wiggins lineup. Sheesh.

Halftime pulse check… how are we feeling? Thoughts?

@Rylan_Stiles Offense was rusty hot garbage and only down 7.

Another miss forced by Chet Holmgren on Wemby. There is no such thing as a Wemby stopper he is too good but Holmgren is the 2nd best defender in the world and gives you a shot to make life tough. Wemby also has been known to see red vs. Chet which can lead to some forced shots.

@HPbasketball Most OKC fans believe to this day that Thunder were better than the Heatles in 2012, and only lost because Scotty Brooks kept putting Perk out there to be barbecued by Bosh and Miami's small lineup.

Setting aside why I think this isn't an accurate representation of what happened, it seems like everyone thinks that if you're not the title *favorite* then you need to blow it up. The Knicks and Spurs are not title favorites.

@HeatvsHaters There is literally a Twitter account called "did chet get hit in the face today?". The answer is usually yes

The Heat showed how many times Pelle Larsson was hit in the face this season: 53 times (!!!) Has to be an NBA record 😭

@slmandel This is the world you wanted

Two things that will absolutely happen if there is a 24-team CFP. * Players will demand to be paid more to play an extra round of games. * Agents of some top picks will recommend they opt out rather than take on the extra injury risk. Even NFL players don’t play 5 rounds.

@mcten Ah yes, March basketball as an indicator.

Rob Pelinka calls the Lakers' 16-2 run from late February through the end of March a "strong data point and proof of concept" that will inform the way the franchise puts together the roster for next season.

@DanWoikeSports @JoelXLorenzi Silver platter from Chet

Wow. Rui Hachimura and Marcus Smart with 7 points on two possessions. The Lakers lead 110-109 with 40.9.

@HPbasketball More "who" than history. Draymond kicked Steven Adams in the nuts twice and got nothing. As soon as he kicked LeBron in the nuts, he got suspended and cost GS the title.

I've heard this, but you know how Draymond and Dort got their histories? By elbowing people in the face

@HPbasketball We really need Scott Foster or Brothers in charge for Game 5.

I'm pretty surprised no follow-up suspension. He sized him up, it wasn't instinctive, it wasn't a rebound clear-out. League has always made shots to the head a big deal for obvious reasons.
