Kenny Spurs have them shook
The Blazers had a hot shooting night , the Wolves needed a last second shot to beat the Thunder . The spurs thoroughly beat the Thunder .
The Thunder delusion continues. No way they beat the Spurs in the playoffs
And the Spurs will take that pick swap with a suddenly struggling Atlanta and draft that big, burly and physical forward that they need vs tough, huge teams. And then it is over for the league. These young Spurs are barely scratching that surface. Wemby/Castle/Harper are just 21/20/19. This is the worst they will ever look.
I feel like if the Spurs beat them in January again this way, Presti might make that move for Giannis if he's still on the Bucks & healthy by then.
3 games and they still think the Thunder will respond with a W against the Spurs 😏
Give the Spurs more cred. Title contenders
Thunder already had that energy coming into the Christmas Day game. Thunder gave their best shot at home and still got smoked by 15
Spurs are still gelling, it's going to be hard for teams to break them.
THE BEST DEFENSE OF ALL TIME WHOEVER SAY THAT ITS TIME TO REPLACE THIS BRAIN WITH A RABBIT ITS WAY BETHER AT THIS POINT WHO SAID THAT HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Spurs have the 5th best offensive rating in the league and OKC has the 6th best offensive rating. 40 points in a quarter is not abnormal for the Spurs.
It’s kind of funny that all of these NBA experts couldn’t see something like this coming lmao nba media is ass and Kenny, you are a part of that critique
That first commentator is low key a secret spurs hater .
Thunder lost the cup game but it was close
They expected a bounce back and spurs won by 20
Now the game is in OKC undefeated at home crowd rocking coming in hearing all the noise and after losing the first 2
And the spurs still win by 15
The spread on this game opened at -9.5 for okc
I don’t think spurs have to be scared just play your game
The OKC has nothing coming off the bench to upset 25 mins of a 🇫🇷🧘♀️👽 impact in the game of basketball. No team does actually.. no team in the nba has a head coach from the cloth of Greg Pop.
Yeah Manu could've started for 80% of the teams on the league and make max money but it took a visionary like pop to manage the talent. Manu is what the spurs needs in the 4th quarter. Reserve him for prime time. So many nba players need that money while they're still in their prime and it shows. If prime Harden came off the bench for okc with KD & Russ… or prime Russell Westbrook came off the bench… imagine that.
Players & THE REASONS Y FOR 6TH MAN CONSIDERATION AS OF 2026
1984 Bron (refuses to play Center)
AD (day-to-dayyvis)
Kawhi (mr load managemet)
Harden (original manu Ginobili)
Embid (load mngmnt in process)
KAT (cant defend & lo passing IQ)
Young (Curry clone w/o D. Green)
Durant (refuses to play point F)
Curry (needs def & playmakers)
Zion (Doesnt rebound nor defend),
Ja (below average playmaker)
Tatum (wemby treatment)
The NBA is on notice. Wemby might win DOP & 6th man award this year 😱. NbA coaches still haven't figured it out yet. 2nd unit teams is not going to get it done against wemby & Harper) those dudes are allstars who happen to come off the bench for a loaded team who.still haven't unleashed their best wing defender in Carter Bryant. 😱
Saltiest take so far 😂😂😂
Crazy how OKC is the defending champs and can’t beat a team like the Spurs who didn’t even make the play in 😂
The West Playoffs this season is going to come down matchups and what team gets what team. San Antonio Spurs have the Oklahoma City Thunder's number , Oklahoma City Thunder have the Golden State Warriors number , Golden State Warriors have the San Antonio Spurs number , Houston Rockers have the Golden State Warriors number , Denver Nuggets have the Houston Rockets number , Minnesota Timberwolves have the Oklahoma City Thunders number this season. Any of the Top 6 Teams in the West Playoffs this season could either get knocked out of the Playoffs in the 1st Round or make the Conference Finals. All depending on what playoff matchup they get in the 1st and 2nd round.
Never underestimate your opponents. Even if you're the champs it doesn't mean you're unbeatable that's why there hasn't been a repeating champion for the past 7 years which is something this crew should realize.
