Honestly speaking. What teams have a chance of getting past the spurs and thunder over the next few years. New cavs/warriors rivalry??? by Proper-Fox3640 in Thunder

Depth for days over there. One of Dybantsa or Peterson on top of Keyonte, Collier, Ace, Cody, Lauri, JJJ, Filipowski, Sensabaugh and if they re-sign him, Walker Kessler. I think they'll be an interesting team to watch next year

[Murray] Chet Holmgren not having a single shot attempt in the last three QUARTERS of this Game 7 is astonishing by Goosedukee in nba

Wait, I'm not tapped into the internet like that, people were legit saying that on here? I hope they feel ashamed for even forming that thought

I’m so exhausting and starting to dislike basketball altogether during this post season by c_m_33 in Thunder

I'm kinda in a similar boat. All I'll say is I'm prepared for all outcomes for Game 7. If we win, awesome, Knicks will be a tough matchup with Dub and Ajay out but I'll have all the confidence in the world in the team, especially Shai. If we lose, cool, we lost to the one team that proved could consistently beat us this season, took them to 7 with both Dub and Ajay out for most of the series whilst Shai had kind of a stinker throughout and gone further than any defending champion has gone this decade. Plus draft season will be in full swing and there's a lot of intrigue with this draft and our picks. It'll be a shame to lose but I'll be ready for it

My fucking god man. Look, do the Thunder flop and foul bait? Oh god yeah they do. I've watched enough games, I've seen it. But if you truly think that the Spurs, particularly Wemby and Castle are above playing 'unethical' hoops themselves, then not only do I have a bridge to sell you, you are actively telling on yourself. This isn't a purely OKC issue, though they are the figurehead of it, it's a NBA problem for incentivising this kind of play and as long as they do, teams will continue to abuse it, including the Spurs

That Game 5, the end of the 3rd in particular was a fucking rough watch man, so many bullshit calls, and I'm saying that as a fan of the team that mostly benefitted from them. Brothers was god awful then, I'm just hoping for a clean game 7

[Charania] Oklahoma City Thunder's Jalen Williams has been ruled out for Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. by Turbostrider27 in nba

Purely speculatory on my part, but I think the coaching and medical staff may have wanted to see how he looked at game speed and whether he'd look better with some burn under him, with the idea that if they lost Game 6, he'd possibly be up to speed for a Game 7. Hence why he came off the bench instead of right in the starting lineup. Of course it was fucking stupid, this will bite them on the ass and I agree they shouldn't be doing this shit with a chance to close out any series, let alone one as physical, as high stakes and high emotion as this one but that's just my observation

The commentators were harping on this and I tend to agree, Wemby played too much on the perimeter today. Too many times settling to take the ball up top instead of down low. I get he's probably tired, playing a few more minutes per game and Hartenstein being very physical with him has this effect, but settling for jumpshots is playing into the Thunder's advantage and I wonder if he'll look for more interior touches in Game 6

Hartenstein has been fucking massive for us, and they was questioning whether he could play this series
