GOOOOOOOOOOODMORNING THUNDER FANS
IT IS THURSDAY
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE OFFSEASON WE AS FANS KNEW WE WERE IN FOR A SPECIAL SEASON
WITH THE LOSS TO THE MAVS SERVING AS THE DRIVING MOTIVATOR
WITH THE ACQUISITION’S OF CARUSO AND IHART
WE KNEW THIS TEAM WERE IN THE PRECIPICE OF GREATNESS
BUT IT WAS NOT SMOOTH SAILING AS WE HAD PLANNED
WE HAD TO ENDURE THE TROUBLED WATERS OF A FULL SEASON
WE SUFFERED THROUGH INJURIES TO OUR BACKLINE
WE WERE DISRESPECTED AND DOUBTED BY FANS AND MEDIA ALIKE AT EVERY TURN
THROUGH IT ALL OUR MAIN ADVERSITY WAS THE LACK OF ADVERSITY THAT WE HAD FACED
IN THE END WE WITNESSED A HISTORIC TEAM WHO DOMINATED THE REGULAR SEASON IN SPITE OF EVERY MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCE
AND NOW IN THE POSTSEASON WE HAVE SEEN THAT DOMINANCE CONTINUE
BUT WE HAVE ALSO BORE WITNESS TO THE REAL TIME GROWTH OF THIS TEAM WITH EACH PASSING GAME OF THE PLAYOFFS
THEY EMERGED AS THE WESTERN COMNFERENCE CHAMPIONS MORE THAN A WEEK AGO
BUT THE JOB IS NOT FINISHED
WE ARE IN FAMILIAR TERRITORY AS AN ORGANIZATION
WITH A CHANCE TO DO WHAT THE TEAMS BEFORE US COULD NOT
FOR THE LONGEST TIME EVEN POST RUSSELL WESTBROOK ERA THIS TEAM EMBODIED HIS DECLARATION TO KEVIN DURANT IN 2017 “I’M COMING”
IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE TALENT, EXECUTION, AND SKILLSET OF THIS TEAM IS WOULD BRING THEMSELVES TO THIS OPPORTUNITY
BUT NOW IN THE MIDST OF OUR GRIND WE CAN FINALLY SAY WE ARE HERE
AND WE DON’T PLAN ON LEAVING ANYTIME SOON
NOW LETS ACHIEVE OUR DREAMS
NOW LETS FINISH THE JOB
NOW LETS PLAY SOME OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER NBA FINALS BASKETBALL
SOMEONE, ANYONE, AND EVERYONE
PLEASE TELL ME
WITH ALL THE ENERGY YOU CAN CONJURE
WHAT MF DAY IS ITTTTTTTTTT

@antifailure1@royceyoung@antifailure1 since you’re big on insights do you have any counter points with your own insights that would negate this take? Any players Dort has been primary defender on where this trend doesn’t ring true? I’m sure Royce would welcome any Logical debate if you have it 😏
@Jacobtheclipper @BricksCenter A lot of soft calls on both sides last night but LAC got more of them if you look at the whole game. Had 28 FTs compared to 20 for OKC.
You can say there were bad whistles but it was a consistent bad whistle.
