This has been a pretty good fightback by The Thunder. Thought they were heading for a 30 point blow out early..
And Chet has been really quiet so far. If he starts cooking, game on

You can't question Dort's effort. He is selling out on these plays, trying to get his team some possessions.

Yeah he's spending a lot of time flopping all over the floor. Like a mini-Embiid. :lol:

No energy from the Thunder. Did they forget this game is for the series?

i think they're having a tough time with Dallas' size and physicality.

OKC should call the Lakers and make a really nice offer for AD. Their team will be complete and title favorites. They can even load manage AD unlike the Lakers.

I am happy that this won't happen because I hate that OKC stole the team from Seattle.

This free throw disparity is crazy to me. OKC soft as Charmin. I am hoping Kyrie catches some fire here in a bit.

all the remaining western teams have significant length. the east champs are going to have a problem with that.

If the Mavs are fouling and Thunder are not so be it, but only one team is getting fouls called against them.

Another really dumb comment I’m collecting them this game.


You’re an OKC fan, your opinion is mute.


Defending yourself from being called "dumb" by using "mute" lmao. Amazing stuff.
