Just what every teams players and coaches want… double OT of the opening night game.

KD doesn't know his team timeout situation. He just wants to play basketball. :lol:

I wonder what the rulebook says if refs didn't award the timeout.

Whomever bet big on double OT for this game just got a payday.

KD has money on this game. GUARANTEEEED

I love that the game gets to keep going on and i didn't want it to end like that, but...

Between that and the obvious missed travel/dragged pivot foot, do NBA refs actually know the rulebook or is this actually WWE where they get to decide whatever the hell they want?

man, Reed isn't even getting set before jacking up shots

Not exactly a masterclass in clutch offence for KD. Of course it doesn’t get any earlier, so not worried.

However if Amen is actually injured this would be a disastrous start to the season, down 40% of the starting lineup before game 1 is even in the books.

It’s a tech. Thunder would have a free throw for the game based on the Webber of a decision.

Dont forget us non HOU and OKC fans. Lets get this to 5OT

KingFox · Post #615 » by **KingFox** » Wed Oct 22, 2025 2:43 am

Lmaooo man, if KD was a normal role player on a small market team, they’re 100% awarding OKC freethrows there.

I've accepted that the NBA is very close to WWE fake sadly

Hey at this rate we can have MJs thoughts on load management in between 17th and 18th OT break
