Gary Woodland (right) bombs one past Scheffler and Burns on 14 at Shinnecock. Pointed a rangefinder their way and just pulled out his phone to call them.

Imagine SGA leaving for the Spurs next year. Imagine how pathetic that would be.

Yeah, I’m not over it. Sue me.

[Boomtown Hoops @BoomtownHoops]

Just some random thoughts:

- The Spurs are so good. I think Castle & Harper are stars. I think Vassell and Champagnie are Championship necessary role players. Wemby is Wemby.

- Spurs over the Knicks in 6?

- Injuries suck. They happen. They mattered a lot.

- Chet stuff can’t go ignored. He looked timid this series. I have no words for tonight. idk, man.

- The Shai narrative throughout the Playoffs felt gross. It wasn’t fair to him as a player or as a man, IMO. Honestly shocked how many media members I respect bought into the engagement baiting.

- No doubt in my mind this team is a top tier contender next year.

- So impressed with the character of this team. They could have responded verbally and physically in uNeThiCaL ways. And they didn’t. I like cheering for good dudes.

- Thunder up. Always.

@ThunderHusky17 notice how everyone combats you with “he’s a pussy” “he just talked shit” if dort did that or anyone else on the thunder at this point we are scheduling a public execution. The infinite delusion is coming from them but they CANNOT stop projecting. It’s actual nonsense.

[Tyler @tylerbritton_]

Spurs/Thunder might be the most interesting chess match between two coaching staffs in NBA history.

The constant battle between the Spurs trying to keep Wemby at the basket, and the Thunder adjusting their spacing in each game to get him out.

The Spurs trying to keep Shai away from the middle of the floor and out of the paint completely, while the Thunder change screening angles, floor alignments, etc. to get him space to operate.

Then in Game 4, the Spurs going away from doubles, and the Thunder finding a way to consistently force 2 on the ball in Game 5.

On the other side, the Spurs trying to get Wemby free in the paint on offense, and the Thunder doing everything in their power to push him to the perimeter.

Every game of this series has looked completely different. It’s been a masterclass for anyone who cares about more than “falling” and ref discourse.

[bridger @BridgerSmith1]

my favorite thing about nba discourse is when they pretend to not see the facts in front of them. Castle had 14 points on 11/14 FT. The streets will still tell everyone and their mom that shai having 12 freethrows and “us having the refs on our side” lost them the game.

[𝙋𝙇𝘼𝙔𝙊𝙁𝙁 𝘾𝙄𝙏𝙔 @Playoffcity]

SGA contact = NO CALL

Wemby FLOP = Two shots 😭

DONT WORRY THEYLL COUNT THE FALL FOR SGA 😂

[bridger @BridgerSmith1]

so castle is granted the immunity to do the same to shai without you guys moaning? That’s where all of our arguments are coming from. We obviously know it’s not cool to hold wemby but how is it okay to hold shai?

[Tristor Rambanyama #1 🏀 @SunTrist]

@ThunderHusky17 Well when the most electrifying player in basketball is prevented from playing basketball because a far less significant player is holding him down by his arms, it’s kind of a bummer. Kinda makes the whole experience a lot worse. Kinda makes people hate OKC.

[Drew (Toxic I Guess) @ThunderHusky17]

Crazy that the only difference between “best series in decades” and “completely unwatchable” is whether or not the Thunder end up winning the game or not.

[Jacob Kniffen @JacobKniffen]

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

[Carson Cunningham @Carson_OKC]

Spurs and Thunder is a physical series (football game, rock fight, etc.) on both sides. When a neutral observer/national media/NBA Twitter claims OKC is dirty…it’s cherry picking for an agenda. For every iHart holding clip there’s a Wemby holding clip.

[CameronWilliamsToOKc @rameshdataya]

when SGA is being grabbed, the world doesn't care.

when wemby is being grabbed, the world is in shambles 😂😂😂

[bridger @BridgerSmith1]

casuals will sit here and believe this. bro came out for 13 seconds for a rebound. Free throw goes in or out timeout comes at the same time it came. TO GET SHAI BACK ON THE FLOOR.

[Luka Revenge Tour @Kyrie_Doncic]

You just saw the Clutch Player of the Year and MVP get benched in the Clutch…

With 2 total points in OT and 2OT

The back-to-back MVP

[bridger @BridgerSmith1]

@engrdarvin20 @SamPrestiGM your insinuating we had Dub fully healthy and playing well in any of those games. And Ajay wasn’t producing near as much as he is now. Good luck🫡

[bridger @BridgerSmith1]

@Wemby_210 @ImBino__ @SamPrestiGM ya at least we didn’t lose a game to both the blazers and the wolves. You guys might not even make it out the series your in. Until you guys have a resume to backup all this sweet talk you might as well just sit down. You guys are where the thunder were 3-4 years ago wait ur turn

[⚡️ @WhereThaSnaxAt]

“Jalen Williams played 14 minutes tonight”

This who yall be quoting and retweeting and clinging onto they every word.

Guy thinks Jalen Williams played last night.

[bridger @BridgerSmith1]

So you’re telling me and MVP voter just made a “mistake” he clearly didn’t watch the game this is an awful look trying to have an opinion on somethin you don’t even have knowledge on. Just another box score casual that’s get to VOTE?!

[Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar]

So either..

An MVP voter doesn’t know OKC’s All-NBA forward has been out the last 4 playoff games.. or he’s getting JDub & JWill mixed up 4 seasons, 3 playoff runs and 1 championship into their careers.. or he’s analyzing a game he obviously didn’t watch.
