For the past 4 seasons the defending champs lose in the 2nd round and like every champ they the target by every teams. We could see the 5th consecutive time the Champs lose in the 2nd round π
We'll see.
Players go down, teams rise.
Denver, Minnesota, Houston and San Antonio are likely to be the biggest threats.
Lakers can split their series, GS can steal games.
Hell. If Lou Dort hadn't tackled Morant midair they wouldve been in a 7 game series with memphis.
Thunder will never win back to back like Curry
Repeat baby
OKCβs culture feels built for a dynasty.
Having KD there at OKC's first ever ring night is just beautiful π
Shout out to Ramona, the one who made the most sense on this panel.
Okc got it in the bag barring injury
Nuggets in 4 ππππ
Dude no one cares bout okc π
Sga overrated asf
I donβt see how anyone keeps up with this current iteration of the Thunder. Iβm a fan and follow them closely. I thought theyβd win this past year, but it was still way ahead of schedule and they played through that inexperience in the harder matchups in the playoffs. Itβs crazy how good they are going to be. They have yet to peak.
Nothing
OKC fan here yβall some haters I donβt even listen to yβall anymore the year leading up to our championship. All sports media acted like they were clueless on who was gonna win. We knew who was gonna be all year long yβall probably still talking weβre just gonna humble yβall again.
I should watch the wnba if im going to watch the players shot hunt for step back mids can we please bring athletic basketball back this sucks at least I get to see some beautiful women smh
Vanessa can stay πΉ
If healthy β¦. Gonna be a massive hard out in 7 β¦.they are really really good
Itβs been since 2018 when an American player won MVP?!? This is embarrassing!
Just disrespected Westbrook
Don't stop talking about Epstein
Making the LA matchup SGA V Bron and not SGS V Luka is NASTY
I love hasleem saying when "we was defending our title" "when we was down 27 points going into the 4th all ud do was sit at the end of the bench collecting money and clapping π we we we hahaha come on ud
Last year they didn't have the experience this year it's they aren't gonna be ready for other teams intensity. Get real
Nah definitely not going back to back and I mean that honestly. BARELY made it passed Jokic nuggets with no help.
They have help now.
Indiana wins that game if Halingburton doesn't get injured. That team got incredibly fortunate they didn't choke.
This year with better teams , I don't see them pulling it out provided those teams stay healthy.
Honestly, as much as I don't want to admit it, OKC is in great shape to win it all again.
I have no faith in anyone from the East so whoever can knock off the Thunder with some injury luck wins the title
Oh no, teams are actually going to try against OKC? What will they do π
Im not mad if Nick Nurse wants to run it back in this down year in the east. This is the year we reevaluate the process. With all the injuries someone has to be a needle mover in the east and I wouldn't count Siakim, TJ , and Obi out. Grimes should be a no brainer at this point but some due diligence on Cam Thomas, Josh Giddy, Kuminga, maybe Westbrook seems warranted. Either way Kelly Oubre and Grimes for Kuminga and Moody sounds fair given Kelly has been a Warrior before. Regardless of how each team views room for improvement considering Tyrese Maxey future should be priority afterwards.
Idek the blonde girls name, but for her to sit here and lie about supporting us when she LAUGHED when OKC was brought up to be title contenders before playoffs startedβ¦. Cmon
The RUSSELL Westbrook disrespect is real π’π’
Itβs crazy how little coverage the champions are getting
Who wanna drink michelob ultra go celebrate ππ
Record Year, and B2B ez
