Castle needs to relax
They just forced 3 straight turnovers. This shyt ain’t over
OKC might be losing by 30 if this game was in San Antonio

Yeah this is one of the things that jump out. Spurs have Fox, Harper, Castle, and Victor (when he non on is and 1 mixtape steez
) who can create almost any shot out of nothing and OKC just has Shai. Rest of these dudes need a real offense or need some type of advantage when they first get the ball.

im sure every player is available. it's just price dependant. if OKC offers that clippers pick, u can't tell me NO says no.

OKC might win this game but as a Spurs fan I saw what I wanted to see. Has OKC figured out how do do anything successful when Victor is on the court? The answer to that is outside of flopping and Dort trying to injure him...nope.
Bonus points for the Spurs not folding up in the 1st quarter where the Thunder probably played the best basketball they've played all year.

This is why I said yall were in the contender pool from jump. I forget what game it was after Fox came back but I was lookin at yall for the first time (like really looking) and was like

They keep the thunder on the perimeter fringes. Effectively boxing them out of prime scoring areas
They’re also mobile and have high basketball IQ on the flour. Great situational and positional awareness as a team. They have size, length and reach too.
Spurs are a hard and physical team to play against because they get all the rebounds and effectively protect/defend the paint , post, midrange very well. They don’t give teams time and space to make plays and they can physically bully and deny other teams within the limits of the rulebook, on some borderline shyt with being dirty or obvious.
OKC is a finesse team but they’re Not that great/comfortable at perimeter playmakimg/offense and three point shooting. Their comfort zone/bread and butter is inside offense, breakaway offense, and rim scoring. Against teams like San Antonio, Shai can still draw fouls and get free throws but he can’t make plays inside, score in the paint, drive to the net and shoot/score from the midrange as much as he wants to.
nah, they need to win this. closing games is important. They lost the NBA cup because they choked the 4th after being in control the first 3 quarters
if u can win the game, win the game
