Thunder/Seahawks

[Andrew Schlecht @AndrewKSchlecht]

Imagine the Knicks having to play the Spurs without KAT and Bridges..... That's what the Thunder had to do. Would make the Spurs look a lot better.

Wemby tried to sell a flop with an NBA Finals game on the line bro💔😭

Some people just aren’t built for the moment 🤷🏾

[¹⁰ @HoodiGarland]

Stephon Castle deadass just runs into everyone and cries for a foul call lmao

[Fullcourtpass @Fullcourtpass]

KAT DUNKED ON WEMBY AND SCREAMED IN HIS FACE

🍿🍿🍿

[Smiley @30GotNext]

Wemby 3/13 and there’s not a single chatter on the TL

[Finals J Dub @FinalsJDub]

Not so funny now, is it?

[Jamal Cristopher @JamCristopher]

Shai didn’t have a great series.

But disingenuous analysis all around TO ME.. shai playing the best defense that has the greatest defender ever, and SGA has with him Chet (LOL) Ajay in street clothes J dub in street clothes & ppl acting like that doesn’t matter

[Ball Don't Stop @balldontstop]

Shai played his heart out. Thunder were in trouble the moment J-Dub and Mitchell were both out. Chet didn't do his part.

[Sports Fan 405 @405Fan]

The Spurs shoot 25 FT's to OKC's 12 and Twitter narrative is this game was called great. The Thunder shoot 6 more FT's and the reffing is abysmal. Funny how that works.

[Jason Gallagher @jga41agher]

The timeline isn’t melting down over the state of basketball so the spurs must be winning

[Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix]

All the SGA slander has become corny. He finished fourth in free throw attempts per game on a team that was 17th. He's as close to a throwback player as you get: a (mostly) inside the three-point line scorer who can beat you a bunch of ways. He gets calls, yes. Gets fouled, too.

[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.

[MD @mike_daddino]

The problem with social media is everyone will throw a tantrum over two bad calls but ignore the Spurs giving up 100 points in three quarters to a team missing two key players.

[Keerthika Uthayakumar @keerthikau]

Alex Caruso is shooting 47.7% from three this postseason, 18.4% higher than he did in the regular season (29.3%).

That's on pace to be the biggest jump in 3P% from the regular season to the playoffs in NBA history (min. 50 attempts in both).

[Sam Amick @sam_amick]

Victor Wembanyama, who struggled mightily in the Spurs’ Game 5 loss in OKC, declined to do media this evening. He just left the PayCom Center as midnight central time nears.

[Jackson Frank @jackfrank_jjf]

There's no world where a Game 5 WCF win with the series tied 2-2 isn't sensational, but man, what a goddamn win by OKC down its 2nd/3rd-best ball-handlers after the way Game 4 went.

Incredibly sharp game-plan on both ends to remedy major dilemmas from Game 4. Resilient group.

[Brett Usher @UsherNBA]

Shai almost dropped Wemby

[kingtisemedia @kingtisemedia]

OKC winning this series without Jalen and Ajay would be crazy impressive to me
