    SGA blew game 1 for OKC by playing too much hero ball. He's the donkey and there is no way around that.

    On the other hand, Victor showed he's the best player in the NBA regardless of who won the MVP this year.

    If the Spurs had closed this out in regulation, I think they would have had a good shot to drive a stake in OKC in game 2. But after 2 OTs tonight, I doubt they have enough gas in the tank.

    It's possible this series ends up as a war of attrition, which would favor OKC. If not, unless OKC can contain Victor at least to some extent, the Spurs got this.

    Crueler joke is that Spurs and Mavs are in the same Division.

    Memphis might get Wilson or Boozer or Peterson.

    My forlorn hope is that Wemby retires at age 30 like Jim Brown because he's simply too good at basketball to ever be interested in it again

    Did Ajay Mitchell have an open lane to the rim when he pulled up for that 3 in transition?

    Trade KD for Chet Holmgren and fillers. OKC get a nostalgia union.

    Harper is an elite defender (better than Castle). The guy will be dropping 25-30 a night with great efficiency by the time he can order a Lone Star at the bar.

    SGA is in for absolute hell the next 5 years dealing with Harper/Castle and Wemby every time he tries to get to the lane.

    it is what it is when you’ve won a title

    if the Rockets won a title last season and then paid Amen a max, I’d just shrug my shoulders

    the rate this organization is going, I’m gonna die before they even get back to the finals let alone win one…could probably reincarnate after that and live a whole nother life and the Rockets still wouldn’t win another title before I died in that life too

    I said i would step away from the rest of the playoffs but then I asked siri “nba tonight “:

    okc 97 & spurts 97


    so i turned the game on.

    wow. now im happy and depressed


    happy the thunder lost

    depressed that the spurts won and that the Rockets “rebuild “ was a colossal failure and they will be irrelevant for another 5-10 years or more.

    It’s BS that they rig the draft, but from a business perspective it made sense.
    They made San Antonio and Oklahoma relevant and even mid tier cities like Detroit & Dallas have stars and bright futures.

    im surprised they don’t just help UTah and rig for them to get a generational player too

    Wemby dominates the other best defensive center in the league and Sengun looks like a rookie against Ayton and Jaxon Hayes.

    It was always going to be a War of Attrition, that is why Spurs also ran the marathon for Number 1 Seed.

    But they are getting the Whistle and Chips in the next Decade which is not Funny at All.

    Even if OKC wins this year, it is more than unfortunate.

    Peterson is borderline generational, book it!

    Wemby will be the new face of the league

    NBA can finally move on from milking Lebron and Steph

    Remember when Sengun had that one good game against Wemby.
