@DParkOK Donovan Mitchell?

@okcamars No legs for it

Seen a lot of posts saying Presti doesn’t need to make a big move this offseason when we were close without JDub. I strongly disagree considering that San Antonio will A. also make moves to improve their bench and B. improve with internal development of their young guys

Mark Daigneault on Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell being out: “We have not been an excuse team ever and we’re not going to start now.”

BOB COSTAS GETS US READY FOR SPURS-THUNDER GAME 7!

[Steve Jones @stevejones20]

Victor Wembanyama has been a problem for the Thunder. Spurs season is on the brink and OKC one game away from the Finals...have the Thunder solved it?

At @YahooSports wrote about the adjustments OKC has made on both ends to get us here.

When Isaiah Hartenstein and Victor Wembanyama were both on the floor in Game 5, OKC outscored the Spurs by 17 points.

I wrote about Hartenstein and Cason Wallace's enormous impact in a crucial win — the norm for this era of Thunder basketball. https://t.co/3xPOnzGLmO

It wasn't perfect, but the Oklahoma City Thunder showed good strides in being able to limit the frequency and effectiveness of the Spurs stunts and gap defense on Shai

With the help of better spaced sets, better spacing in general, and role players having a better creation game, OKC was able to score often

I detail how this worked in the video below ⬇️

SGA on Chet Holmgren:

“He was really good. Chet has all the tools and everybody in our building and the league knows that.

He’s a hell of a player.

I don’t ever worry about Chet.

I’ll bet on Chet 10 times out of 10.”

OH FUCK YEA

I want everyone to give Mark Daigneault his flowers too

[Jason Gallagher @jga41agher]

Might be the weakest flagrant foul I’ve seen. Congrats internet. You got that weak shit you’ve been begging for.

[OKC THUNDER @okcthunder]

Applied pressure 🤲

14 steals and 21 forced turnovers 📊

[Kevin Chen @therealkchen]

Disagree, this is how you start their transition offense with 15 blocked layups and one of us stuck behind the play

[ThunderND @ThunderND]

Easiest Game 2 adjustment we can make is to collectively stop fearing Wemby in the paint.

I don’t care if he finishes the game with 15 blocks and a poster reel, run through his chest on offense and make sure he doesn’t get free looks on defense

[Gur Singh @HoopFocusX]

I’ll die for Alex Caruso

Thunder! Spurs! Conference finals!

I went long previewing the first playoff series between teams with 62+ wins since the 1998 Finals. Here are the stats, scouting notes, matchups, and trends to know before a blockbuster begins tonight:
