2026 WEST FINALS: (1) Oklahoma City Thunder Vs. (2) San Antonio Spurs

Looks like the spurms blew their wad in game 1

 

Not just that: OKC adapted to prevent Victor's insane offensive dominance in the paint of game 1 from happening again. He only had 4 rebounds total tonight and zero offensive. If that continues, Spurs don't have a chance.

I am shocked by game 3. Spurs had no answers or adjustments for OKC keeping Victor out of the paint. On the other hand, J-Will has a career game and Jared McCain showed he's a very well-rounded player on offense and doesn't need to hit 3s to be effective. It's strange to see the Spurs defense get owned.

Castle has to screw his head back on. I don't think Harper is fully healthy, which is why he played so little. Adductor muscles are finicky and he may not be 100% soon. Keldon Johnson was flat out horrific.

Spurs are gonna make adjustments and play desperation basketball in game 4.

 

Bench points in the WCF: Thunder - 183 Spurs - 64

OKC's bench outscored San Antonio's 76-23 in the Game 3 win.

 

F$uck the Sperms

 

The Spurs need to play Wembyama in the mid to High Post. Playing him above the three point line is cute but not efficient for a high level big.

 

Yeah Wemby really struggled to get his shot tonight, it seems a common thing at this point, well not common, just that if you push him enough he'll be content playing on the perimeter. I think this is mostly his fault, he doesn't command his space and just easily gives it away because he probably feels lik he can dominate on the perimeter, and some nights he can, but if he's in the paint there is no stopping him. It's like playing on a kid basket, but it just feels like there is not enough intent to get him down there.

But I figured OKC would figure it out, you can tell they came out prepared for those doubles, SGA at times was barely looking for his shot, just drawin in defenders, kicking out, and they move the ball so well they were getting good look after good look. SAS will have to play more honest. I think they have the man defenders to just take on SGA and make him work because they can't let the rest of OKCs players get open easy looks, they will capitalize on that and SAS won't win another game unless they make the adjustment.

 

Them Slash brothers not being 100%, McCain feasted....dang.

 

I knew OKC had a much deeper bench, but this is ridiculous. OKC's bench is outplaying their own starters. How do you beat a team that has that luxury?

 

Morey gave up McCain for free.

 

I swear to God if the Spurs end up losing this series they're no better than the rockets

 

just like he did for Goran Dragic, who later help the Miami Heat to reach the NBA Finals

Morey kicked Dragic to the sidewalk in order to sign Jeremy Lin to the largest poisoned-pilled contract, at the time, for a FA

 

The bench was the unit that beat the spurs. Toy view, OKC 2nd unit is the best in NBA as of now

 

He’s not a post up player @ 110lbs

 

Series is over in 5

 

We could not beat the wolfs with no Ant in the regular season with playoff positioning on the line. Let's pump the breaks, we still need to make significant changes in the off season if we want to seriously compete for a title.

 

Who is Jared McCain? When OKC traded for him, I was like… who? Now he’s helping win a WCF Game 3.

Depth. Development. Smart bets. OKC just keeps making the right moves.

 

don't tell CF. They're busy blowing their load over Trevor Ariza Lite
