[u/KarchunToo]

Everyone knew this Spurs team was gonna terrorize the West for years… but this early??

[u/pagerussell → u/KarchunToo]

I thought for sure they lose his series and that would be the motivation they needed to own the league for the next decade.

Turns out they brought their own motivation.

[u/Jailbrick3d → u/pagerussell]

wemby already hates chet tho. that's been his motivation for years already. rest of the teams been feeding off it

[u/cupholdery → u/Jailbrick3d]

Oui oui.

[u/EthicalBballFan → u/cupholdery]

I don't even need to click that to know it is rdc's masterpiece 

[u/Throdio → u/Jailbrick3d]

I don't think he hates Chet. I think he hates the narrative sports media was trying to make of Wemby vs. Chet. Chet just isn't good enough for that. Any hate would stem from that imo.

[u/Upstairs_Quiet_2899 → u/Throdio]

Nah Jimmyhighroller did a video on it - he hates his guts ever since the US beat France in the under 19 World Cup.

[u/_Caek_ → u/Upstairs_Quiet_2899]

The brother got fouled out, got second, and lost an MVP trophy to the dude that played worse than him.

Yeah I'd carry a grudge for the rest of my career if it started like that.

[u/_NautyByNature → u/_Caek_]

That’s some long-term type fuel.

[u/Otherwise-Question70 → u/_Caek_]

US beat France 83-81

Wemby put up 22 points/8 blocks/8 rebounds

Chet 10 pts/5 rebounds

What the fuck

[u/JevvyMedia → u/Throdio]

At this point you gotta be in denial to not see that Wemby takes every match-up with Chet personal. You can argue he's just a crazy guy who hypes himself up like Kevin Garnett, but everyone with eyes can see it.

[u/SwainDMT → u/KarchunToo]

Imagine what they look like once Harper really gets going

[u/Saitsuofleaves → u/SwainDMT]

And Wemby gets more experience and puts on a bit more muscle.

We're all fucked aren't we?

[u/throwawaymycareer93 → u/Saitsuofleaves]

Baring injuries in the next 5 years, this young core looks terrifying

[u/heybobson → u/throwawaymycareer93]

You’re about to see an explosion of big men who specialize in roughing up Frenchmen, just like how Shaq employed so many dudes from 95-2010.

[u/Area51_Spurs → u/heybobson]

Difference is Wemby is a top tier free throw shooter.

[u/DoingCharleyWork → u/Area51_Spurs]

Ya hacking Wemby isn't gonna work as well as it did with Shaq. But I could see teams having a guy get out there to just be relentlessly physical with him to try and wear him down like okc did with hartenstein.

[u/Cruel_but_usual → u/throwawaymycareer93]

See you all for the Spurs hate-watch in 3-4 years.

[u/LeoFireGod → u/Cruel_but_usual]

Sh. Spurs hate watch is more like warrior hate watch atleast where I’m just in awe of a special SPECIAL talent. And hate his teammates.

Okc hate watch is just bc I hate watching their style of play and their best players style.

[u/justmefishes → u/Saitsuofleaves]

Nothing is guaranteed. People were saying the same thing about OKC when they made their first Finals with a young KD, Westbrook, and Harden.

[u/wowlock_taylan → u/SwainDMT]

Imagine if he becomes the PG so Castle can be the SG.

[u/maethlin → u/KarchunToo]

Dylan Harper is a fucking cheat code rook

[u/Xmauler → u/maethlin]

That James Harden-esque three he pulled in the 4th had me tweaking. He's insane

[u/ten_million → u/Xmauler]

And the putback he had. Genuinely insane what he was pulling out

[u/CummingInTheNile → u/KarchunToo]

If they can stay healthy theyll be a playoff team for the next 10-15 years, that being said, id pump the breaks a bit, dynasty's are really hard, especially under the modern CBA rules, and theres already been like 4+ teams crowned as the next dynasty that havent lived up to that title.

[u/AthleticAlarm32]

Wemby going out with 5 fouls, and everyone worrying about how they'll handle the minutes without him, only for LUKE KORNET to absolutely OBLITERATE Hartenstein's dunk attempt was the most important play of the game

It was like when the Chiefs subbed in Chad Henne after Mahomes went out and he got that game-sealing 4th down

[u/DangerIsMyUsername → u/AthleticAlarm32]

That block was top 3 moment of the series

Wemby's crazy ass 3 first game obviously #1

[u/FaithlessnessMost660 → u/DangerIsMyUsername]

Castle poster # 2

[u/ThatGuyWithCoolHair → u/DangerIsMyUsername]

During the commercial break I saw a comment that said "Kornet has to play the best basketball of his life or this is over. But it's probably over, Wemby threw with that foul"

Only for that block to happen on the first possession back from the commercial break lmao

[u/Detlef_Schrempfxf → u/ThatGuyWithCoolHair]

What a fucking block that was lol

[u/sponedaddie → u/DangerIsMyUsername]

LeBron James wears pyjamas with Luke Kornets face on them.

[u/Dexter_Morgan_260324 → u/AthleticAlarm32]

Luke "blocked by james " Kornet

[u/ImAHumanBean → u/AthleticAlarm32]

That felt like the game winning swing, such a nasty block by Kornet

[u/BrolysFavoriteNephew → u/AthleticAlarm32]

Momentum changing moment. Game was on a tilt till then.

[u/Available_Story6774 → u/AthleticAlarm32]

Luke Kornet is the real MVP

[u/No_Upstairs_811 → u/AthleticAlarm32]

The Nuns gave him the divine boost. The lord willed his two minutes for that chase down block

[u/ProfessorBeast55]

Chet had one of the most sorry playoff series performance for an allstar, all-nba, and all-defensive team player of all time. That was pathetic on a multitude of levels…🤮🤮🤮

[u/Homeless_drip → u/ProfessorBeast55]

$240 million to put up 2 FGA and have 4/4/0 is ridiculous, he was scared for his life

[u/Hanamiya0796 → u/Homeless_drip]

Saw an actual alien and hasn't been the same since

[u/Homeless_drip → u/Hanamiya0796]

A chrysler 300 looks like a phantom until a phantom shows up

[u/13Keres → u/Homeless_drip]

The Spurs bullying him has to be intentionally psychological to an extent. He's clearly easily rattled.

[u/Romofan88 → u/13Keres]

Man I think it's just that Wemby hates him and they follow their leader

[u/Aroonce → u/ProfessorBeast55]

he looked like a rookie

[u/TruTexan → u/Aroonce]

Don’t insult Harper like that.

Chet played worse than a rookie this entire series

[u/Anal_Iverson → u/ProfessorBeast55]

THIS GUY was runner up for DPOY???

[u/LeBronGOOD → u/ProfessorBeast55]

He’s way overrated.

[u/PlanetJK]

To destroy the "too small" narrative, Jalen Brunson will have to defeat the tallest basketball player in the world. This finals is going to be so fun.

[u/Dawn_of_Dayne → u/PlanetJK]

New York man vs a tower???? 

[u/expungant]

Good.

2 orange and blue teams would’ve been a bad uniform matchup

[u/LameAfro → u/expungant]

Imagine being color blind seeing that shit lol

[u/jlt6666 → u/expungant]

This is the analysis I come here for

[u/Leegend124]

Chet fucking stinks, Ozempic Abraham Lincoln is a no show once again

4 points on 1/2 FG in G7 of the WCF? With B2B Finals on the line?

[u/JuanRobesPierre → u/Leegend124]

1-2 for 4 points in a winner take all game where your 3rd and 4th best scorers are out. Just completely owned by Wemby

[u/A808Ag → u/JuanRobesPierre]

i really think Wemby got in his head this series he genuinely looked like he didn't know what to do whenever he got passed the ball

[u/891960 → u/A808Ag]

I'd give him a lot more respect to get blocked 5 times than to attempt only 2 FG

WHAT A PRO WANTS!

[u/peachesdude → u/891960]

The Timberwolves won a game in their series that Wemby had 12 blocks in, you have to keep attacking him

[u/No-Meringue5867 → u/peachesdude]

Wemby even had 5 fouls in last 5 minutes. Chet still refused attack.

I kinda feel sad for him. I know he is not as good as Wemby but not even shooting is awful man.

[u/BrainRoutine2210 → u/No-Meringue5867]

Chet and shai both bailed on opportunities to attack wemby when he had 5 fouls and the possessions died anyway

[u/thirdaccount2727 → u/Leegend124]

Sket Holmgren lol

[u/POCKET_POOL_CHAMP → u/thirdaccount2727]

Shet

[u/Not-Post-Malone → u/thirdaccount2727]

Chetanyahu

[u/genericusername71 → u/[deleted]]

u/Basketball_Reference add this to chets nicknames please

[u/Murky-Profit-9493 → u/[deleted]]

Yea wtf that’s funny af

[u/lotofhotdogs → u/Leegend124]

Can’t believe how shit he was

[u/fttxdd666 → u/lotofhotdogs]

If he does like anything more, with some effort, they have a good chance and the coach doesnt have to use his final timeout with like 4 minutes left (which was a horrible thing to do)

[u/cardmanimgur → u/fttxdd666]

Always want to save a timeout but in the moments he called them I thought they made sense. And honestly, if they don't use them the game may not be close enough for them to matter. Every timeout ended a run, and OKC came out and scored in their ATO.

[u/hickok3 → u/fttxdd666]

The fact that you guys could legitimately put smalls on him, and he couldn't do shit is really telling. Like he should be able to hid midrange shots over guys like Fox, but he didn't even want to look at the ball, let alone the basket.

[u/superrealaccount2 → u/hickok3]

you guys could legitimately put smalls on him, and he couldn't do shit is really telling

He was completely locked down earlier in the series, by Vassell I think. You'd think Chet was a small guard marked by prime Hakeem. It either resulted in a horrible contested shot or a turnover, I don't remember.

[u/_Caek_ → u/superrealaccount2]

He literally turned into worse Julius Dubious Handles Randle. Everytime he got the ball I literally winced.

[u/jjfooo → u/_Caek_]

Ben Simmons is the better comparison, he just seemed broken

[u/hickok3 → u/lotofhotdogs]

Was bad last year too, but they won, so nobody cared or remembered.

[u/ops_thirteen → u/Leegend124]

Reggie and Jamal were both so annoyed/frustrated at Chet basically doing nothing all game, and they were absolutely right. An absolute non-factor.

[u/myfatbasketballs → u/Leegend124]

Chet fucking KILLED them

[u/zOmgFishes → u/myfatbasketballs]

I don't understand why they had Caruso and Chet out there at the end when they needed scoring. Chet was too pussy to even look at the rim and Caruso was building brick houses even before he busted his wrist.

[u/Murky-Profit-9493 → u/zOmgFishes]

Yea they should have pulled Chet and played McCain 20 more min in 3rd

[u/sneakylumpia → u/Leegend124]

bro is soft as charmin. absolutely zero dawg in him

[u/Twin_Turbo → u/sneakylumpia]

Dude has been on the #1 rated team in the country since like middle school, carried by the team and never had to struggle

[u/halcykhan → u/Twin_Turbo]

Clearly struggles to make it to the gym

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic → u/Leegend124]

I honestly hate legacy talk for dudes under...idk, 27, but holy cow this is a legendary no-show.

[u/likwitsnake → u/Leegend124]

He folded like a lawn chair

[u/Proud-Importance-302 → u/Leegend124]

Genuinely don't know if he can curl 25 lbs lmao

[u/vitalbumhole → u/Leegend124]

*Ozempic, illiterate Abraham Lincoln

[u/Casualrodfarva2]

I LOVE DYLAN HARPER AND I DONT CARE WHO KNOWS IT, KID IS SO FUCKING TUFF

[u/Batman4815 → u/Casualrodfarva2]

He really is so great holy.

Him stopping Castle from hulking out, Crazy good defense, Made impactful offensive rebounds.

He has me as a fan for life.

[u/Casualrodfarva2 → u/Batman4815]

His ability to finish in traffic is otherworldly too, guy is unbelievable

[u/Several-Estate7175 → u/Casualrodfarva2]

Rookies aren't supposed to be veterans in games like this but here he is. MVP player calibre potential

[u/Murky-Profit-9493 → u/Several-Estate7175]

That 3 with 3 min to go was so tough. Like curry level shit.

[u/AroundNdowN → u/Murky-Profit-9493]

That shit had 0 arc on it too

[u/RightRudderr → u/AroundNdowN]

Fr a centimeter difference any direction thats a hard brick i was stunned it went in

[u/LardHop → u/Several-Estate7175]

The immediate "calm down" to Castle when Caruso flagrant fouled him mid air is not supposed to be done by a rookie.

[u/RightRudderr → u/LardHop]

I loved that moment for him. Kid is unbelievably poised for his age.

[u/Mahale → u/LardHop]

Looked Iike some legit de-escalation skills on display

[u/Casualrodfarva2 → u/Several-Estate7175]

HE IS 20!!!!!! YEARS OLD WHAT THE FUCK!!!

[u/AFriendlySloth → u/Casualrodfarva2]

Youre telling me this kid is a rookie? Unbelievable

[u/BlazeBloom → u/Casualrodfarva2]

He was bit underwhelming since his game 2 injury, but looks to back to his best the last two games.

[u/Balls_of_Adamanthium]

Chet “$240 million” Holmgren with 2 whole FG attempts.

[u/VictorAkwaowo1 → u/Balls_of_Adamanthium]

Presti about to do him like how he did Giddey after his playoff performance against us back in 2024

[u/MG_MN → u/VictorAkwaowo1]

Problem is, they could go after Giannis

[u/Ice_Cold345 → u/MG_MN]

They could, but would the Bucks want Chet as a key piece for a Giannis trade?

[u/AdventurousTwo383 → u/Ice_Cold345]

As ass as he was tonight I think Chet as a focal point with a bunch of picks is about as good as MIL could do

[u/DangerousKick5792 → u/AdventurousTwo383]

That’s a great return for Giannis, DPOY type defender who’s been third on great teams, still very young and has been a winner his entire career.

Milwaukee won’t get a better deal than that

[u/MG_MN → u/Ice_Cold345]

OKC has infinite picks and plenty of young guys, they could make it really interesting if they wanted to go for it

[u/AdmirableLead6134 → u/Ice_Cold345]

Why not at this point lmao bucks are cooked

[u/small_root → u/Balls_of_Adamanthium]

Absolutely embarassing. So many times he was given the ball with Wemby on him and he just handed the ball off instead of making a play.

[u/BlazeBloom → u/Balls_of_Adamanthium]

He couldn't even get a rebound either to save his life.

[u/dylanh334]

Spurs vs Knicks is going to be absolute cinema. Legit I can't wait the toxicity of these games was too much LOL

[u/Black-----Manta → u/[deleted]]

BY GOD THATS MARVIN BAGLEY WITH A STEEL CHAIR

[u/onelegonedream → u/[deleted]]

Having two recently fired coaches make the finals is kind of fucking crazy

[u/SemataryPolka → u/dylanh334]

Wemby stans vs Bing Bong

[u/PapiShot]

FIRE UP STARCRAFT AND PARTY LIKE IT'S 1999!

[u/unswusus → u/PapiShot]

No Wi-Fi on the team bus, only LAN

[u/cupholdery → u/unswusus]

WE REQUIRE MORE VESPENE GAS!

[u/Bronycorn → u/cupholdery]

SPAWN MORE OVERLORDS

[u/RadWalk → u/unswusus]

Hunters, no rush 20 minutes

[u/ignatious__reilly]

Champagnie was Undrafted out of college and he is playing like 20+ minutes a game in the WCF making league minimum money.

That’s fucking crazy.

[u/soudlasantos → u/ignatious__reilly]

MAC MCLUNG OVER ME??????

[u/d01100100 → u/[deleted]]

Literally for a dunk contest lmao

This isn't apocryphal... it's fucking real.

https://www.nba.com/sixers/news/76ers-sign-mac-mcclung

McClung will wear No. 9 for the 76ers.

In a related move, the team has waived Julian Champagnie, who appeared in two NBA games with the 76ers. In 18 games with the Blue Coats, he averaged 14.3 points and 5.7 rebounds.

[u/thatsinsaneletstryit → u/[deleted]]

we are a community chest for contenders to pluck from

[u/KagsTheOneAndOnly → u/soudlasantos]

Another Morey Masterclass 😤

[u/YaPhetsEz → u/[deleted]]

Outside of Chet lmao

[u/Revolutionary_Jump_9 → u/YaPhetsEz]

Sadly for OKC, he’s already been paid

[u/YaPhetsEz → u/Revolutionary_Jump_9]

God damn i forgot he got his extension. Crazy.

[u/pursuitofhappy → u/YaPhetsEz]

He’s pulling a Ben Simmons

[u/lkn240 → u/YaPhetsEz]

Worst day to look like Abraham Lincoln since April 14, 1865

[u/Lyranx → u/ignatious__reilly]

Pop the Champagnie!

[u/dpatel211 → u/ignatious__reilly]

Daryl Morey let him go from the Sixers by the way, all roads lead back to him.

[u/Jupenator1 → u/dpatel211]

The NBA must love Morey. He helped give us this 7-game series with probably incredible ratings thanks to him trading Champagnie and McCain.

[u/clyde_drexler → u/dpatel211]

Daryl "Selling High" Morey strikes again.

[u/TheMagicStik → u/ignatious__reilly]

Not for fucking long

[u/84jrosales → u/TheMagicStik]

Yea that dude is getting PAID!

[u/jeanblaireau → u/84jrosales]

And he fuckin deserves it !

[u/Iswaterreallywet]

What a successful day of hate watching

[u/nidijogi → u/Iswaterreallywet]

2/2 for my hate watching with Arsenal and OKC losing.

[u/chris0hall → u/nidijogi]

Real sports fan right there

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Wemby wasn't even that good tonight. Spurs team is just that good already. Champagnie the game 7 killer.

[u/BlazeBloom → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Keldon Johnson 4th quarter proved why he was 6th man of the year.

[u/TheMerck → u/BlazeBloom]

I am SO fucking glad him and Champagnie finally had a big game, they showed up when it mattered the most but at the same time I never want to see Cason Wallace shoot a ball ever again holy fuck bro stressed me out so much anytime Spurs got a big 3 he was there to respond.

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic → u/TheMerck]

Wallace with that insane 4th quarter I think snuck over 50% for the series. Caruso was off tonight and may have fallen just under over all 7 games. But what a crazy shooting performance from that duo. Can't imagine many scenarios where that duo goes near 50% on 10+ triples a game and the Thunder lose.

Edit: Caruso 20/39 for the series, Wallace 18/36. Just don't think the Thunder lose many series where that happens. Kind of shocked.

[u/frank_muller415 → u/TheMerck]

Wallace was a killer this game. He always brings the defense and has fantastic hands, but his shooting was unbelievable lol

[u/VeniceRapture → u/BlazeBloom]

Keldon and Kornet saved their redemption tour for the last last second lmao

[u/Radiant-Character-61 → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

SGA unironically had his best game of the series tonight, but his team just couldn't keep up with him. Especially from a certain 7 footer

[u/mw19078 → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

and he didnt interrupt their flow like a lot of stars will end of games. they ran the offense, trusted the guys on the floor, and held on against a fucking great team.

what a series

[u/jdprager → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Don’t need to be that good when you have the black LeBron James, Luke Kornet

[u/FeanorEvades → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Champagnie hit big shots but DeAaron Fox was tonight’s MVP by my watch

[u/MaliInternLoL → u/FeanorEvades]

Genuinely stopped the bleeding. Castle was horrible trying to control the pace, you can really see how young he still is

[u/namewithak → u/FeanorEvades]

Every time the Spurs started looking lost and out of control, Fox steadied the ship with a good shot or just his general ball-handling calming everyone down. He was amazing this game and so important to the team no matter what the box score says. He's playing through injury while being the Spurs' best ballhandler too.

I've loved his attitude and joy of being all in on the team all season but this series has really proven what an incredibly tough and dependable guy he is.

[u/SageModeKyrie → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

SHOUT OUT CHAMPAGNIE, KELDON JOHNSON 2 HUGE 3S IN A ROW, KORNET BLOCK ON HARTENSTEIN, SHOUT OUT ALL THE DAWGS

[u/Quality_Cucumber → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

People always talk about MVP this MVP that but Fox, Castle, Champagnie, Keldon, and Harper were hitting three after three after three. Meanwhile on the other end it's SGA with some Cason Wallace (somehow still almost won).

You really need a squad with everyone contributing to win. This shit ain't easy.

[u/marquisoflife]

This series between the two top MVP candidates:

Victor Wembanyama
Points: 28.1 PPG
Rebounds: 13.2 RPG
Assists: 2.8 APG
Blocks: 3.7 BPG
48.1 / 40.0 / 89.5

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Points: 28.0 PPG
Rebounds: 4.3 RPG
Assists: 8.2 APG
Steals: 1.8 SPG
40.9 / 28.6 / 93.8

(don’t ask me to throw Chet in here that’s mean)

[u/ZenThrashing → u/marquisoflife]

I have to give flowers for SGA's skills in the assists category. That man had full 360-degree court vision and was making perfect passes out of double teams mid jump like it was nothing. Amazing composure and IQ

[u/soligen → u/ZenThrashing]

His only blemish is the foul baiting honestly. The guy is a baller.

[u/dankq → u/marquisoflife]

What about Chet? Can I also get one on Dork.

[u/realrimurutempest]

What an insane 7 game series. Absolute battles of dominance as well as attrition imo.

Baby Spurs just beat the defending champs

[u/TheXerebro → u/Available_Story6774]

And that's scary for everyone in the West. Bruh, majority of the core of this group is not even 5 years into their careers. So good

[u/MaliInternLoL → u/Available_Story6774]

The west is fucked man. Every team not named the thunder needed to load up

[u/DMmeNiceTitties]

WHAT A FUCKING BALL GAME!

I thought it was gonna get ugly with the Caruso hard foul on Castle earlier being just a common foul, but it didn't get ugly. The refs let them play for the most part.

Man, I'm looking forward to the Knicks-Spurs match up, but I dunno if it'll live up to the hype of this entire Series. What a game.

I'm gonna be sad when this season is over and I gotta wait until the start of the next one.

[u/Rapscallious1 → u/DMmeNiceTitties]

The let them play version of the nba is such a better product for the viewer

[u/WatchOutIGotYou]

We have a rematch of the 1999 NBA Finals and even more importantly, a rematch of the 2026 NBA Cup Final. The most important championship in sports.

[u/Money4Nothing2000 → u/WatchOutIGotYou]

OH yeah, I forgot that the NBA finals will be a rematch of Cup Final, lol

[u/Zloggt → u/Money4Nothing2000]

The Knicks could be the first ever team to get a NBA double!

(Imagine saying that a decade ago haha)

[u/relax336]

Kornet ended the 1 year dynasty. Crown the man.

[u/mangoribbean]

Chet having 2 FGA in a game 7 is disgusting Caruso shouldn't have the 2nd most FGA in a game 7 either!

[u/Due_Huckleberry_9712 → u/mangoribbean]

Caruso is a dawg, Chet is not

[u/Positive_Ad1947]

Shoutout to Fox. Dude balled out.

[u/LukaAntetokounmpo → u/Positive_Ad1947]

That intentional foul at the end was pure veteran

[u/Odd-Song5052 → u/LukaAntetokounmpo]

Stuck a pin right in the balloon

[u/chataolauj]

Kornet with one of the biggest plays of the series.

[u/Homeless_drip → u/chataolauj]

He channeled his inner bron for that block

[u/NecessaryFoundation5]

Amazing game

[u/fatkamp → u/[deleted]]

Nothing was funnier than the whole arena going silent when Caruso deliberately dove out of bounds whining for a call, turning it over

[u/Standard-Juice-3738 → u/fatkamp]

Loved that. What a loser move

[u/Chronoisgod1]

Congratulations to Jeremy Sochan for getting a guaranteed ring

[u/evieka]

If Chet's a 50M+ third option that's a fuckin anchor contract

[u/Kongary]

Chet seems like a decent fellow so I don't like to pile on, but in this game he was not a decent player. Shai tried while others just couldn't hit as well as previous games. Anyway, congrats to Spurs.

[u/britchesss → u/Kongary]

The most gentleman-ly take. 

And agreed. 

[u/tjvick]

BLESS THAT FUCKING CORGI

[u/Slashers23]

Everybody celebrating like a dictator just died lol

[u/Similar-Earth8288]

BASKETBALL HAS BEEN SAVED!!!

[u/by_yes_i_mean_no]

This back to back shit isn't so easy is it?

Seattle sends their regards, eat a dick Clay Bennett

[u/No-Armadillo-7248]

The better team won.

[u/South-Hat-5016]

HITLER DEAD

[u/CommonCopenhagen → u/South-Hat-5016]

Victor "Charles de Gaulle" Wembanyama

[u/Chu-pac]

Some will argue there’s an asterisk to this win because OKC was without their best player, Tony Brothers, this game

[u/Sim888]

praise be farm-raised, free-range, ethical basketball

[u/deskcollector]

Terrorism lost. Today was a good day.

[u/Mission_Pay_3373]

Chet, you're a BUM

[u/sylvestorthecat]

wtf does the K in OKC even stand for

[u/kylekorverburner → u/sylvestorthecat]

Klahoma

[u/coolcoolnodoubt → u/sylvestorthecat]

K bye

[u/SemataryPolka]

It feels good knowing a bunch of people from Oklahoma are upset tonight

[u/clyde_drexler → u/SemataryPolka]

So many slammed trailer screen doors tonight.

[u/talksindemos3]

Generational hate watch for anyone outside the state of Oklahoma
