Watching OKC vs Spurs game 7 made me realize one thing:
I’ve seen Wemby try to flop for more contact than I’ve seen the entire OKC team.
But we don’t usually hear about do we? 🤔
Gameday. This shirt you will wear. This chair you will not use. It is Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.
For only the second time in NBA history, both teams facing each other in a Game 7 have at least 62 wins. This heavyweight series has reached its final chapter. And though only the players get to touch the basketball, our fans in the arena tonight in downtown OKC will help determine the outcome.
In the playoffs this year and last, the Thunder are 17-3 at home and 10-7 on the road. At home or on the road, it’s the same players, the same coaches, the same basketballs, but the results are quite different. The difference is you.
Tonight, if you’re in the arena, you will give it everything you have for 48 minutes. By the end, you should be as exhausted as the players. You must always remember that it is a privilege and an obligation to be in that arena tonight. You are not a mere spectator. You are carrying the cheers and the hopes of millions of Thunder fans watching on TV across Oklahoma City and the world. You are there tonight to claim sports immortality on behalf of Thunder fans everywhere.
To the fans in the arena tonight - Arrive early. No sitting except in timeouts. Get back for the start of the third quarter. Give it everything you’ve got for all 48.
To the fans in their living rooms or bars and watching across Oklahoma City and the world - We can hear you, too. We’re all In this together.
It’s Game 7. Thunder Up.
OKC bouncing back from a blowout to beat the Spurs in a pivotal Game 5 without JDub and Ajay Mitchell should be the #1 talking point the last 2 days.
Instead, that headline was buried under these stories:
Wemby skipping media.
Plumlee elbowing McCain.
A (correct) non-challenge.
Wemby bad game.
A gambling company negatively using a player’s image without permission.
Free throws and flopping, of course.
And that is sports discourse summed up in 2026.
