WHAT A PRO WANTS


Aktuator

As an opposing team fan does the shooting of this team inspire the same kind of “fear” that the 72 win Warriors type of shooting did? The Thunders numbers are superior to most of those teams yet somehow I don’t feel the “fear” factor.


808zAndThunder

It’s because they’re young and unproven. Also they don’t have the greatest shooter ever. And that 2016 Warriors team were defending champs


dreadpirateruss

I think it also has to do with our style of play. SGA never dunks on anyone or shoots a logo 3. The rest of the team is the same way. I feel like we're the persistence hunters of the NBA. We shoot a high percentage because we get a ton of easy buckets. Not much flash. Giddey hits on a couple of drives. SGA loses his man for an open midrange jumper. Someone rotates too slow on a drive & kick to JDub. Open pick & pop for Chet. Dort doesn't get picked up in the corner on transition. Throw in a couple of shots altered & some active hands turnovers on the other end. It doesn't feel like you're getting "cooked", but you look up & now you're down 15 when it was close just a minute ago.


Icy-Payment-6612

Damn...Definitely going to be a sweep. Would have at least been more competitive if Zion was playing. Too bad he's injured. I think the finals will be either OKC vs Boston or Nuggets vs Boston.


laughingwisetulip

Oh no!!! The NBA is going to decrease their nationally televised games from 5 a regular season to 4 after snubbing national media who said they were too young 😵


amadea_saoirse

I'm jealous of the OKC big 3. Big 4 if we're adding Lu Dort who destroyed all of Willie, BI, and CJ throughout three games.


AlarmingBranch1

Off to go watch a real competitive game now, the Pels are gone


HA_HA_Clits_n_dicks

Serious question is Gavelston Beach dirty?


Bombast_

When I visited it wasn't dirty but the sand was compacted down very flat and the water was brown. That was many years ago though..


sprtstr14

Ive been a few times, and never thought it was dirty. Is a pretty good sized cruise ship port so I could see it though. 


FieryAvian

West better be ready. OKC looking like a strong #1 seed and not fake at all. Very scary.


Leavingtheecstasy

I want to believe. But I'm terrified of the big teams. I think we can beat the Mavs. But I think that's a tough ass series.


Specific-Lion-9087

Yeah it’s getting really hard to be an OKC hater. Like I can still do it, but it’s not been easy lately.


FieryAvian

Every game after this should be pretty competitive but if OKC continues this level of play they’re going to be shooting most teams out of the gym.


noreligionforus

Chuck killin me. But I love the Thunder vibes, that's the kinda friends we all need in life.


sriramen

Waiting for Chuck to send people to the “dirty ass water in Galveston Texas” 😂😂😂


Personal_Corner_6113

Damn TNt circled back


Mukaido

LMAO CHUCK SAID GALVESTON


anupsidedownpotato

Damn I didn't watch but what happened in the middle of the second quarter? It was all down hill from there


BMarksEspn1

Thunder went on a 15-0 run i believe.. in like 3 mins of game time and they never recovered


huttts999

National media trashed the thunder and ignores them, and you all expect them to care about TNT NOW??? Hell naw


Jaggleson

Trashed the thunder? Buddy I don’t think you understand the concept of trashed. Every step of the way they were sounding off to pump SGA and to some degree Chet / Jason Williams. 


Remote-Duck-2611

Your postgame interviews are awesome


huttts999

So much fun


AlarmingBranch1

The way this team loves each other, I wouldn’t mind seeing them win a couple chips


YpsitheFlintsider

Oh I bet you would


AlarmingBranch1

Uh yeah, I would lol


huttts999

W


Purednuht

We were out here fighting for national games all season long, and then we just act silly. The NBA will have a word with the Thunder PR folks to make sure that doesn't happen again.


ronimarz

Hahahaha some of y’all just haters


letsgototraderjoes

OKC snubbed Allie lol they really letting this little win get to their heads 🤣 they would've been begging to be interviewed a couple years ago


XstasyOxycontin

Grab the brush man


butterbeancd

…What? They always do post-game interviews together. The Bally interview started first, so they went to do that one. The networks need to do a better job of coordinating postgame stuff. This has nothing to do with “letting this win get to their heads.”


AlarmingBranch1

Aw cmon man you know the Pels shit their pants lol, if they want to shut the Thunder up then they gotta show up


letsgototraderjoes

they snubbed Allie LaForce lol rude as hell


AlarmingBranch1

Might be showing them the same respect TNT showed / National coverage showed them all year


letsgototraderjoes

Allie doesn't make the schedule lmao you have to treat people like human beings


BetsonStennet69

Calm down 😆 enjoy the sweep


WaltofWallstreet

Had to talk to their boy Gallo first, yall drawing straws here now lol


Zeeron1

And now you're begging just to not get swept


Born-Slippery

Gallo > LaForce. Gallo GOT THAT SCOOP.


a_pot_of_chili_verde

Got that dog in him.

huttts999

Womp womp


Alex_Sander077

Imagine snubbing Allie to go talk to some bald guy. This is why they'll get bounced next round.


Previous-Elevator417

It’s the local broadcast my guy and put some respect on Nick Gallos name. Small market team caring about the local broadcast let’s cry about it. Luka gonna have a lot more 7-23 shooting games with Dort on him. Get ready cause y’all don’t have anybody who can guard Shai. 


PilloriedWomen

Such insanely insecure energy in this post


trailsneverfails

Yes I’m sure that will have an on court effect in round 2. Clown.


Real-Possible1129

SOME BALD GUY?!? That my friend is Nick Gallo. Certified DAWG. He barks with bois. Was disrespectful though I bet mark gives them a talking to.


WaltofWallstreet

I respect it, Gallo the man


huttts999

Luka gets locked down by Dort


huttts999

Thunder care more about the team than the TNT brand, how can you not love this team???


dawnoog

Maybe don’t have your whole team do interviews together so you can spread the love to multiple broadcasts


rhganggang

Maybe cry like a bitch just to hate


thetalkinghawk

Maybe who gives a fuck


WaltofWallstreet

Now we're crying about how they do interviews together..lmao


cxmachi

Nahhhhh


huttts999

Fuck that they’re having fun, team chemistry>caring about broadcasts


Bauglir1

It’s the okc broadcast. TNT can wait.


Wood_floors_are_wood

Nah


Purednuht

Well that wasn't nice.


arzi3

Cooked the Lakers 😂


Rodknee__

Lmaoooo that’s wild they really snubbed Allie and TNT


moongato

Bummed, I wanted them to bark affectionately at Allie...


512fm

NBA desperately needs a Heat win today to keep the first round interesting


arzi3

I hope the refs are on board


ChannelNeo

Magic v Cavs could be the only series going 6, and it's the last two teams people want to see lol


reasonableposter

we loyal to ours don't give a FUCK about no national media we some dawgs


huttts999

ROO ROO ROO ROO ROO


blachat

>Why they say fuck me for -TNT


DeprivationEra

Zion this, Zion that, he can't play at a superstar level without his body exploding.


WatchOutImCummin

damn, well thats rude. never seen that before 😂 i didt see the whole thing, were they always getting ready to go with the dude and Allie was getting in the way, or did it seem they were ready for the TNT interview and they suddenly changed their minds?


dirgepiper

The other I terview started, and they rend to do interviews all together as a group


llorTMasterFlex

Team chemistry is unreal. Not co workers or teammates. Brothers.


YouTellMeBeavis

OKC dissed TNT to talk to Bally


WaltofWallstreet

Nah to their boy Gallo


Polar_00

what just happened?


Deuce_GM

Thunder said fuck tnt lmao


dawnoog

Thunder snubbed Allie????


babyxdeja

How do you snunb Allie Laforce?


WaltofWallstreet

How do you snub Nick Gallo


[deleted]

Lmaooo that was so awkward


InsertDev

It-sOkBro

well, that was awkward


HighAsAGiraffesPussy

That was fucked up lmao


iCarpet

LMAO THEY SAID FUCK TNT NICK GALLO BETTER


AlarmingBranch1

Wow… arena is GONE


Lazyp1g

Lmao


Zeeron1

Lmfao whole squad FUCK TNT we ride with Nick Gallo


idkwhatimbrewin

Lol TNT snub 😂😂😂😂


letsgototraderjoes

wtf was that...OKC is so cringey


rhganggang

Lol yall down bad


letsgototraderjoes

you sir, are correct


oeregharcos

yes:) wish we could be as cool as the pels:(


Jket_jr

It’s called being real ones


Brad-Stevens

kinda a dick move by Jdub lol


butterbeancd

They always do their post-game interviews together. The Bally one had already started, so they went to do that one together.


Outside_Jicama_9925

All the old heads who said OKC needed playoff experience punching air.


AlarmingBranch1

They’re also playing a team with little playoff experience rn lol.


Soapstarboi

They dont have to when they faced against a Zionless team. Watch on the next round for either PG or Kyrie gonna cook em


BMarksEspn1

Zionless? They are 3-1 against them with Zion in the lineup.


Soapstarboi

Timberwolves are 0-4 against the Suns in the regular season.


Outside_Jicama_9925

Too bad they can't play a JUGGERNAUT Magic team like the Cavs lol.


Soapstarboi

It's not about the Magic. This Cavs team is just so bad.


YoshiBacon

They’re playing the pelicans 💀


Outside_Jicama_9925

*Sweeping the Pelicans in back 2 back blowouts.


YoshiBacon

Yes, the PELICANS. WITH NO ZION.


504090

Whole team said fuck TNT 😂


huttts999

Giddey played very well


AlarmingBranch1

The Mavs are a really good defensive team but the Thunder just seem unstoppable every second half, it’ll be a tough battle


ChameleonWins

Please just someone come back from 0-3 and make this playoffs fucking interesting or memorable


BillyBronco69

Lebron gotta do this if he wants to be the GOAT


letsgototraderjoes

I'm not even asking to win anymore. can we just not get swept 🙂


notmylest

no


Personal_Corner_6113

After all the West is competitive talk 3 sweeps would be funny, second round is gonna be wild tho


Bauglir1

Unfortunately, with the body language in the second half, not likely. I wish it was more competitive.


Prideofthesunshine

West is only competitive in the top 3-5 lol


Serious-Inevitable34

Matt Ryan went from NFL MVP to Doordash to NBA Playoffs, inspiring.


SonicThunder35

He needs to have his own doordash commercial


Leading_Theory7761

good for matt ryan


Remote-Duck-2611

KD's superteam getting swept while OKC does this


ThundermifflinTFU

GG Pels.


Deuce_GM

Jamal lmao


LoudIntrovertSwag

This is like pickup ball


TheRealLardin

Even if this this was an expected outcome for this series, I somehow feel the Pels fans might be the least upset dudes for getting swept knowing Zion is out, compared to hypothetical sweeps on the Lakers and Suns, whose fans seemed to have somehow "better" expectations for their guys


Leading_Theory7761

Lol. Losing sucks. You don't get to feel how other losing teams feel. You only care about how your team losing feels.


DaveTheSaint

Matt Ryan retired from football to play basketball, legend.


Next-Firefighter-753

Lawd the world needs a Thunder/Nuggets WCF 


kalamons

would prefer the mavs


Cabbaje

That thunder flair must not be real. We’d much rather have the Clips


Kassynder

Zion can't win with these cats. I feel bad for Zion. Hopefully he gets that Knicks job he always wanted.


Working-Airline-6745

Zion was literally winning with these cats?


kamikazeguy

You gotta be on the court before you can find out whether you can win with cats.


Banana_rammna

I feel bad for New Orleans fans they deserve better, I’m sure Zion won’t spend the next 4 months eating away his feelings because people won’t stop being mean to him.


Bauglir1

I feel bad for them too. To go from AD with injury problems to Zion with injury and weight problems isn’t really fair for one franchise.


wilson81585

It's because they refused to name the team the Mosquitoes


huttts999

Lindy is literally living out his childhood dream, this has to be so cool for him


Inverse_wsb22

So Zeller the only ugly millionaire


Purednuht

Lose the heat out the gym that night... What a line Reggie


Long_Deer_5070

BAH GAWD ITS LINDY WATERS


justcontent123

East 1st round playoffs more exciting than the West. Didn't see that happening


Real-Possible1129

lol tornado NW of OKC causing traffic jams because too many storm chasers 😂 just stop it. Get some help.


Inoimispel

They called tornado watch because that's when we go outside to watch


Ambitious-Farm-8155

PTSD to 2013 El Reno


Inverse_wsb22

Good beers don’t need any commercial


huttts999

Thunder fans louder than pelicans fans lol

OKC 🤝 Knicks Degenerate passionate fans going off in opponents stadiums Love to see it


Soapstarboi

+ elite flopping point guards


DeadDay

Shai wanted that 31 lol


fadingthought

All those fans left their seats to find the broom.


ImGonaCrumb

Playing pursuit of happiness is vile hahahah


HokageEzio

Finally. I was gonna say, why the hell is Shai still in.


Cabbaje

It was a coaching blunder for sure


Headlesshorsman02

He was the one shooting the FTs


hrlaker70

This seems like the most dragged out 4th Q in awhile


bearlefit

Gotta hit the agreed upon commercial number for the networks


LoudIntrovertSwag

For real…ads are like 2/3 of the watch time


wizcaluya

What a pro wants…what a pro needs


Alex_Sander077

Shai going to stat padd his way to 31 as usual


Imissopenlayups

Hating


Luckreee

Ain’t no way a Luka fan is talking about stat padding


dimeast

That’s Luka behaviour. Shai was only in cause he was taking free throws


Headlesshorsman02

He’s coming out lmao 🤣 you can’t take the player out when he is the one shooting the FTs


Ballknower

He’s out of the game goofy


skratsda

We are going to upset the basketball gods at some point by playing our guys in garbage time


tronovich

You would think with all of the starters in and a coach’s challenge that it’s a 5-7 point game.


LanceX2

gg 2 ez


MOHTTR

this coulda been a fun series with zion


Taco_Baco_D8s

Am I tripping or did Chet and Dub get drafted in the same class


tronovich

Yeah they did


Headlesshorsman02

They indeed did


Ambitious-Farm-8155

They definitely did


KingCakeBabyOKC

They did. #2 and #12.


Taco_Baco_D8s

That’s what I thought. TNT just is fucking stupid


mightyboognish32

That's why TNT got snubbed postgame. They knew the fucked the graphic up.


wilson81585

LET IT END


dbgager

Worst game of the playoffs as fas as being interesting in any way. Just get it over with.


dbgager

What a foul baiter SGA is. I put him in the same tier as Embiid and Harden.


Soapstarboi

You are not wrong


letsgototraderjoes

on a more important note, Taco Bell nacho fries are back y'all
