@LegionHoops@AlexKennedyNBA Oh, so I see a lot of people loving his response...but I thought they loved the emotion he displays? I remember people saying they loved his reaction for advancing to the finals and hated how nonchalant SGA would have been
All these “what does OKC do now?” clips and posts are nonsense.
JDub was healthy for 1 game.
Ajay Mitchell was healthy for 2 1/2 games.
That’s an All NBA player + a rising star. That’s all of OKC’s shot creation/ball handling/playmaking besides SGA.
One loss was in double OT.
Still came down to the final moments of Game 7.
Spurs are great. Gonna get better. That’s an issue for every team.
But OKC could just draft at #12, get healthy and roll the same squad back next year and be much better.
And it’ll still be a 2 team race at the top.
Big changes to a young championship team that was a few plays away from a return trip to the Finals without 2 of their top 5 players isn’t the move.
SGA: “Not having Dub for the whole year, basically sucked. He’s such a unicorn out there… We need Chet. Before Chet was here, we weren't who we are today. We didn't have the success we had today. When he's the best version of himself, we're the best version of ourselves.”
@all_things_OKC Most rumors and reports when it comes to the Thunder are usually wrong. Only Sam knows what Sam will do. 1 win away from the Finals while down our 2nd and arguably 3rd best player. Sky isn't falling. Continue to develop within and work the draft. Chet will need to put in work.
@BeanieShai2@ThunderChats Exactly. Was Chet horrible this series, yes. No denying that. But this team won the chip. This team maintained back to back 1 seed. Chet plays a huge part in that. This team is still YOUNG. Got to continue to develop and stay healthy. The sky isn't falling.
Mark Daigneault: “There’s no team I’d rather coach than this team. I'd rather wake up today eliminated from the playoffs coaching this team than coaching any other team.”
Thunder lose a heartbreaker game 7
Shai showed why he was the MVP, dominated from start to finish
Spurs played insanely well, tons of credit to them they earned this finals berth
Some big offseason questions ahead, Presti will cook
Appreciate y’all’s support this season
An incredible 2 season Thunder run comes to an end.
1 championship, 2 Western Conference Finals trips, 2 MVPs, 68 wins, 64 wins.
Just came up a few points short of another Finals trip.
Can't help but wonder how this series looks with JDub and Ajay Mitchell.
OKC will be back.
Great fight considering all our injuries. SGA did everything he could. Chet was just completely absent. Dub and Ajay were IMMENSELY missed. Onto the next season #ThunderUp
Draymond Green:
“Shai, you've reached a new level of greatness my man... you got sports media coming out and talking about what they don't like about your greatness, as if SGA is running up and down the court with the whistle in his mouth calling a foul for himself... you all think the NBA is that easy to where this guy just flops and goes to the free throw line and he becomes the back to back MVP? We really gonna dumb the NBA down to that?”

Shoutout Jalen Williams for giving it a go last night
Four hamstring injuries this season and still tried to step up to help get the team to the Finals
Not to mention last year going out there and being the second option en route to a title with a torn wrist ligament that cost him the beginning of this season too
I really hope he can get a fully healthy playoff run next year because in the 2.5 games he’s played he was hooping
Definition of putting it on the line for the team
THIS APP IS A MISINFORMATION POOL!
Entering the WCF with Tony Brothers as the official:

Oklahoma was 3-2 and averaged -2.4 free throws.
STOP FALLING FOR FAKE INFO
There's no way people are on Underdogs side here? A gambling company using somebody's NIL using AI without permission for monetary value? Every other person would have done the same. Just use your brains for half a second
Underdog Sports received a cease and desist letter regarding a promotion that makes fun of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s efforts to draw fouls, per @TheAthletic
