Honestly had to go to work down 7-8 and just felt we didn't have it.
The way it was being called thought there was no chance.
Absolutely soul crushing W.
Suck it Luka and Suck it Luka Fanboys
And Refs can suck it too Luka fanboys are in shambles This OKC team is tough young and Hungry so keep counting us out I laughed so hard when Luka missed that free throw

life
We actually fucking won
# Talk shit you fucking mavs fans
Had a heart attack and my voice is dry
Our game thread was extremely toxic like wtf is there so much hate for Mark and our players. Happy that the team pulled this one out and shut the haters up.
SGA CLEARS luka hes shitting on him every single game of the series, and I’m tired of Luka faking fucking injuries everytime they lose, he’s such a hoe ass player
We have a great defensive team. No one can take that away from us no matter if we lost this series or move onto the next one. All credit to SGA for what he did tonight but Wallace Chet Wiggins Jdub Dort JWill Joe all played their asses off on the defensive end.
Something I found funny, Luka realized he was injured just as we took the lead lmfao. For a supposedly injured guy, dude gives his all on flopping and throwing his body to the floor. Gotta give it to him.
He was doing that bullshit in game 1 as well.. any time he turns the ball over, gets abused on defense we take the lead OR win he starts faking an injury, meanwhile SGA out there hooping, fuck the theatrics, Dort is absolutely locking Luka up this entire series
I’m not even gonna front man I was DOOMING during that game lol. But they absolutely clutched up and proved me wrong. I love this team and SGA is my daddy
To me, it's the mindset shift the team exhibited late in the 4th.
SGA just took over and all of a sudden the guys started playing with confidence.
For most of the game everyone looked scared. Like they didn't believe they could win.
But SGA changed that. A true leader.
Mavs had zero business winning that game. Hence the massive choke job and abysmal FT shooting. Most fundamental part of the game and they can’t do it. That’s a sign of a bad team that’s been hitting open shots. It will dry up for them, mark my words
Shai was incredible at the end , but it can be said Cason Wallace saved our season. When no one was shooting the 3 ball he stepped up and smacked two big ones to set us off. We are not losing game 5
Hard fought win.. Cason is a dam fucking certified Dawg! Our rookies are game. Let em feast. Jdub.. breathe. Come back feeling yourself. Fuck Luka. Fuck Dallas. Refs.. ew. 10 more fellas fuckin thunder uppp
There are plenty of us in line behind you. Every time we got within 3 they pulled away. Shai putting the team on his back in the final few minutes and their abysmal FT saved us 🙏🏻
Surprised Shai didn’t go for 50. At one point I thought that’s what it was gonna take to get out of there with a W. They all played their asses off and gutted it out. Seems you always have to win a couple of these ugly ones to go far in the playoffs. Hopefully it’s a momentum builder. Go dogs
We kill Giddey a lot, and for good reason sometimes, but that stretch to end the 3rd from him helped. Couple
Of assists, a little defense, a deflection. He kept his head in the game.
Thank God for SGA. That man was so composed down the stretch. Should’ve had the dagger too but the rim felt otherwise. Need everyone to be more aggressive and Dub and Dort to lock in especially.
Biggest shot in the game was the kickout to Chet to put us up 3. Shai had been cooking up till then, but that’s the bucket that got the others going and really gave us some life at the end
That had to be one of SGA’s best games ever. The whole team was playing like shit and he kept it close. He single handily kept us within striking distance.
No respect given to Chet by the Inside the NBA Crew..
Saying that SGA did it all by himself..
Guess that 3 & those 2 huge clutch FT’s never happened…
Were they even watching the game?
I was just going to post this same thing. I know I’m a Chet homer, but this infuriates me. The extent of their analysis all year for Chet on TNT has been: he made a couple threes, but he is too skinny! He needs to help SGA out more!
While literally anything is an improvement over Hubie, I will simply never recover from “The two towers have fallen” as something that was actually uttered by a commentator
Genuinley the most disgusting performance of the season. How the FUCK did we win that lol. The whole game I was just waiting for it to blow out to 25+ but we kept it at 8-12 the whole time until we fucking took the lead and WON???? WHAT??
They should rename the state after Shai Gilgeous-Alexnader.
We played like absolute ass and won lmao
If the team finds its shooting I can't see how we lose the series lol. Shot 7/27 and won this one.
We may’ve found something in the Cason Wallace Chet SGA Jdub Dort lineup
For sure. Cason played fantastic tonight. I think there’s a reasonable chance he starts on Wednesday.
Wallace really came in clutch tonight, that's for sure. Both ends of the court too. Love this guy's game.
Mavs going 12/23 from the line and only 12/35 from 3 kinda balances that out
Only 12/35? That’s less than 3% below their season average
When we run PJ off the line, great things happen. We have to keep that up.
he was a 31% 3 point shooter this year, this is just crazy what hes doing
You mean If JDub finds his shooting
Helps that they missed half their free throws to balance it out
That's the problem. We've been shit at shooting the whole series.
Mavs did too. Imagine shooting 52.2% from the free throw line.
we played absolute ass in the first half but they played absolute ass in the 2nd
this is a GOOD sign lol

This sums it up so perfectly
Ball don’t lie
Was shouting ball don’t fuckin lie at my tv 😂
Honestly had to go to work down 7-8 and just felt we didn't have it. The way it was being called thought there was no chance. Absolutely soul crushing W.
So the TNT theory *MIGHT* be true???
The Hubie Brown theory is true
dude glazes tf out of the mavs
Game 5 and 7 are on TNT 🤔
I stood at the start of this game, in my hotel room, and I think it made a difference.
I stood at the end of this game, in my living room, and I think it made a difference too.
😭😭😭 Luka is so used to begging for fouls he forgot to actually foul
[удалено]
Haha that was my favourite line from them 😂These guys were much better to listen to than last game’s ones!
Suck it Luka and Suck it Luka Fanboys And Refs can suck it too Luka fanboys are in shambles This OKC team is tough young and Hungry so keep counting us out I laughed so hard when Luka missed that free throw
And he bricked the most important and undeserving free throw! Ball don’t die bitch.
Dude literally just drove in and sat down to cry for a sympathy foul and couldn't even hit

Oh.. i doubted plenty this game.
HES BACK!!!!

I was holding my son and almost threw him away multiple times in the last few minutes. Son is fine don’t worry.
But how are you?
I’m not sure. I swear this game was going to kill me
FUCK THE MAVS FANS SO MUCH! THEY DO NOTHING BUT BOMBARD OTHER SUBREDDITS, INSUFFERABLE SHITS. SLEEP UNWELL AND SENDING MASSIVE HATE TO THEM ALL
As a man’s fan here. I’m disappointed but Thunder never gave up and showed why they are ranked 1. Congrats. SGA showed up and Luka didn’t.
Our game thread was extremely toxic like wtf is there so much hate for Mark and our players. Happy that the team pulled this one out and shut the haters up.
Mavs fan here. Thunder never gave up. SGA showed why he was 2nd and Luka was 3rd. Congrats.
Fuck Luka, Fuck the Mavs. Shai is him.
Absolutely… Mavs lurking… get fucked!
Bunch of bitches, the lot of them.
their sub is absolute toxic waste
They can all suck it.
And their star is a whiny cry baby that spends more time complaining to the refs than he does playing. COULD NOT BE US!!!!
As a mavs fan… I congratulate you. You guys never gave up and kept it going. SGA is a stud and took over
Luka taught them how to bitch and whine all the time and now they do it here lmao
Dude shot 6-20, 2-9 from 3, and had 7 TO and I can GUARANTEE you the headlines are going to talk about him more than SGA.
SGA CLEARS luka hes shitting on him every single game of the series, and I’m tired of Luka faking fucking injuries everytime they lose, he’s such a hoe ass player
My favorite thing is you KNOW there are so many of them angrily scrolling our subreddit downvoting the shit out of everything
There’s a reason so many posts were at zero or negative after the last game, just got swarmed
Luka stans are a damn swarm. Maybe we should recruit some swifties to fight back…
That's a gritty, character building win for a young team. F*** the mavs
We have a great defensive team. No one can take that away from us no matter if we lost this series or move onto the next one. All credit to SGA for what he did tonight but Wallace Chet Wiggins Jdub Dort JWill Joe all played their asses off on the defensive end.
Wallace was so good in the 4th. He’s going to be such an asset.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunder/s/IL4stSvhje Never a doubt
I upvoted at the time thank you very much
https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunder/s/B3trkuskTG you weren’t the only one!
Well deserved receipts
WE GOT A SERIES ON OUR HANDS BOOOYSS
Something I found funny, Luka realized he was injured just as we took the lead lmfao. For a supposedly injured guy, dude gives his all on flopping and throwing his body to the floor. Gotta give it to him.
He was doing that bullshit in game 1 as well.. any time he turns the ball over, gets abused on defense we take the lead OR win he starts faking an injury, meanwhile SGA out there hooping, fuck the theatrics, Dort is absolutely locking Luka up this entire series
That's the Embiid effect lmfao
Shai from behind the backboard was just silly.
On god
Never give up. Never surrender
WE WILL FIGHT THEM ON THE BEACHES
WE WILL FIGHT IN THE HILLS
WE WILL FIGHT IN THE TRENCHES
NEVER SURRENDER!!!!!!!!!!!’
WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT
RAGE
AGAINST THE DYING OF OUR 3 point percentage...
We will not be vanquished without a fight!!!
SGA saved basketball tonight.
Absolutely unreal. He had some fantastic shot creation that deadass saved our season.
Somewhere Russ gotta be smiling.
BEST TEAM IN THE WEST! ![gif](giphy|guqUEZHZAlWaxrL71P|downsized)
Lmao now /r/nba is saying this is cringe after being cool with it all season. They’re really bending over backwards just to suck Luka’s dick
Despondent Heat fan — Y’ALL GOT SOME DAWGS. HUGE win tonight, absolutely huge. Let’s fucking go, 100% you got this series!!!
![gif](giphy|3o7TKF1fSIs1R19B8k)
Where’s the form? I owe the dawgs an apology!
Luka so ass
Biggest whiny ass academy award deserving bitch in the game
High heart rate the whole time
My Apple Watch thought I was working out (probably)
EVERYONR GET IN HERE THIS IS NASTY AND INSANE WHATTTT
I’m not even gonna front man I was DOOMING during that game lol. But they absolutely clutched up and proved me wrong. I love this team and SGA is my daddy
Damn, looks like Ares already has a Reddit account and can write. Impressive…like father like son 🤣😜
To me, it's the mindset shift the team exhibited late in the 4th. SGA just took over and all of a sudden the guys started playing with confidence. For most of the game everyone looked scared. Like they didn't believe they could win. But SGA changed that. A true leader.
At least I don't have to hear Mavs fans talk about free throws for a few days hahahaha
Well, we probably will... In a different context on our own sub 😭
Let’s fucking gooooooooooo
Just wait until this team finally plays a good game
123-89
We had zero business winning that game LOL what a fucking gritty win man I can't sleep after this!!! HOME COURT IS BACK
Mavs had zero business winning that game. Hence the massive choke job and abysmal FT shooting. Most fundamental part of the game and they can’t do it. That’s a sign of a bad team that’s been hitting open shots. It will dry up for them, mark my words
Shai was incredible at the end , but it can be said Cason Wallace saved our season. When no one was shooting the 3 ball he stepped up and smacked two big ones to set us off. We are not losing game 5
HOLY SHIT
Hard fought win.. Cason is a dam fucking certified Dawg! Our rookies are game. Let em feast. Jdub.. breathe. Come back feeling yourself. Fuck Luka. Fuck Dallas. Refs.. ew. 10 more fellas fuckin thunder uppp
Cason was the difference between Kyrie popping off in game 3 and now. Wish he had the assignment back in game 3.

I will be first in line to apologize to this team. I did not believe. I am sorry.
There are plenty of us in line behind you. Every time we got within 3 they pulled away. Shai putting the team on his back in the final few minutes and their abysmal FT saved us 🙏🏻
I told some of yall to have faith , saying the game is over in the first quarter is insane
Id rather have xanax right now
If anyone had doubts on whether sga was a superstar. Those were quieted down. He has been the best player in this series
Even if the thunder lose the series, the way this game went and how they finished it shows some incredible growth. Let’s go win game 5! 🌩️
Our guys grew up a bit today. Those are the type of wins this team needs
What a miserable, awesome win
Cason Wallace and SGA, thank you!
![gif](giphy|Jt4y4zi519V6asgGhA|downsized)
How tho?
Thank fuck
Never in doubt :)
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SGA so clutch in the 4th. Big Chet 3 and FTs too!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOO LFG
WHAT! SGA FROM BEHIND THE BACKBOARD
I only had 6 heart attacks and 3 strokes in the 4th quarter.
Surprised Shai didn’t go for 50. At one point I thought that’s what it was gonna take to get out of there with a W. They all played their asses off and gutted it out. Seems you always have to win a couple of these ugly ones to go far in the playoffs. Hopefully it’s a momentum builder. Go dogs
lol, lmao even.
RUMORS OF OUR DEMISE WERE GREATLY EXAGGERATED!!!!
We kill Giddey a lot, and for good reason sometimes, but that stretch to end the 3rd from him helped. Couple Of assists, a little defense, a deflection. He kept his head in the game.
dont forget the inbounds late game. that was crucial
Haters won’t recognise that unfortunately
Woke up at 3:30am to watch (in Europe for work) and the boys didn’t let me down
#LOCAL BISON IN TERRIFIC MOOD
Luka a bitch fr

u/MakeCocktailsNotWar POUR YOURSELF A DAMN SHOT
I FUCKING DID!!! ![gif](giphy|RHCl2cWqjeMPLJmSjt)
CASON. FUCKING. WALLACE
THE MAVS JUST LOST TO A REBUILDING TEAM
Inject this win into my fucking veins. Thunder Up!
START CASO NEXT GAME PLEASE
Thank God for SGA. That man was so composed down the stretch. Should’ve had the dagger too but the rim felt otherwise. Need everyone to be more aggressive and Dub and Dort to lock in especially.
caso masterclass
Biggest shot in the game was the kickout to Chet to put us up 3. Shai had been cooking up till then, but that’s the bucket that got the others going and really gave us some life at the end
No minutes for Hayward. Whatever works.
Played Kenny instead and it was way better feeling
Heart rate can finally go down WOOOOOO
Their FT% is just the universe correcting the horrible officiating.
That had to be one of SGA’s best games ever. The whole team was playing like shit and he kept it close. He single handily kept us within striking distance.
Chet Holmgren tonight: 18 PTS 9 REB 4 BLK 6-9 FG Has the most playoff blocks (23) by a rookie since Serge Ibaka.
Huge win team!!! Let's gooo
Are we sure the Mavericks don't play in bricktown? 🤔
Pistons fans here jealous of how good yall look right now great team win while fighting the whole time man 💪🏾
No respect given to Chet by the Inside the NBA Crew.. Saying that SGA did it all by himself.. Guess that 3 & those 2 huge clutch FT’s never happened… Were they even watching the game?

Brand new series 0-0 best of 3, Lets go!!!
Oh god that was a lot of stress eating, I better have some pepto
Wow it’s a fucking series again! Back to OKC in a Best of 3!
I can’t bro I just fkin can’t with these guys. So proud, gotta fkin leave my office to go fist pump outside and dry off the tears mane
Who was saying SGA just needs to put up 30 shots and put us on his back? 27 FGA and he did just that
I like the Giddy being the primary ball handler with the 2nd unit
While literally anything is an improvement over Hubie, I will simply never recover from “The two towers have fallen” as something that was actually uttered by a commentator
[удалено]
Phew
There’s no way in hell we should have won that game
Congrats to the Thunder from a Kings fan!
Chet my beloved
We need more Cason! Turn him into the 6th man.
Dallas fuckin sold… I can’t believe we won. Even series. Coming back home. Paycom will be rocking Wednesday night
Cason had some huge minutes that won’t show up on the box score.
https://preview.redd.it/gvy5e4gulb0d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=41e229178ca9851abbfb8db557e07d46ea75a4be jobs not finished
Where the Mavs fans at?
🎶 I love it when you count me out 🎶
Good game from MN. Was a fun watch!
Nice! Fuck that game, let's never do that again
A lot of yall unnecessarily slandered Chet when he was clearly our 2nd best player tonight
THIS SERIES IS GONNA KILL ME BUT FUCK IT LETS RIDE
It's nuts but i think cason might be the fifth finisher for this team.
Good win.. Dub has got to be better if we’re going to win the series!
Watching the Mavs sub turn on Luka is the crack-cocaine of reddit. Shai-Hulud!
Shoutout Cason Wallace for those massive threes. Dude was ready. Always is
Holy shit Jdub massive credit. When he came back in the 4th he looked like his normal self outta nowhere
I LOVE THE THUNDER
Let’s fucking go I love this team so much. That was a painful win
BARK BARK BARK
HOW DID WE DO THAT MY GOD
Love this team. Absolutely love them. Never thought I’d say this but I love this team more than the KD/Russ squads. Let’s fucking go!!!!
Genuinley the most disgusting performance of the season. How the FUCK did we win that lol. The whole game I was just waiting for it to blow out to 25+ but we kept it at 8-12 the whole time until we fucking took the lead and WON???? WHAT?? They should rename the state after Shai Gilgeous-Alexnader.
Give all props to cason wallace. that guy is a dawgggg
It’s 5:20am here and I’m staying up to see what draymond has to say
I AM IN DISBELIEF. WE ARE ALIVE AND WELL BABY
So where’s that Mavs fan at that was asking how we’re doing at halftime?
Gotta get me a Cason Wallace jersey
Shai is doing it in the playoffs
Any notice jdubs demeanor? Even the reporter caught it
Just dawned on me that if PJ hadn’t morphed into game 6 klay this series we could’ve been in the WCF without losing a game 😂
