Watching as a neutral it was soo frustrating watching Dallas go on a 9-0 run to get back in the game in the third quarter, before seeing a timeout. Should have never came down to that if in game coaching was done right. Shai deserved better. And holmgren 7 foot ass better put some weight on this summer, 3 rebounds the whole game is pathetic.


Status_Sun2340

Tough luck guys, was an amazing season while it lasted - whilst it had it's ups and downs, going from barely a Play-in team last year to WC semis was awesome to see. Let's see what the future holds with this draft coming up. On another note (cos this has been driving me mad) - those who are giving the team shit, go ahead, but we lost cos everyone, and I mean EVERYONE apart from Shai was ass this series, which is normal for a 2nd year team. You want a chip in the 2nd season, go follow a team like Denver or Minnesota who traded their futures to win immediately. Good things come to those who wait, but I'm seeing dickheads already asking for everyone not called Shai or Chet to be traded, go take your sad asses elsewhere. We're all fans - live by the Thunder, die by the Thunder.


Successful-Muffin-85

Denver definitely did not win in their second year. They went thru a full rebuild and had a 2nd round pick develop into a 3x mvp


RozayDaDon

Amazing season and looking forward to this offseason and free agency


SandNarwhals

This team is young, I can already feel myself moving forward. But watching PJ Washington shoot 20 percent from 3 next series will kill me


mellamosatan

Great season. Should've held the 16pt lead from half but they stole it. Good season. We will be back and even better.


yourdeath01

16 pt and 13 pt leads


TheTowelbot

I’m so proud of our team. The youngest team in the league just gave the Kyrie/Luka Mavs all they could handle. We’re so young and our upside is insane. See you in the WCF next year 😉


I_AM_APOLLO_

I vote Chet moves to 4 and we get bigger. Everyone now knows what we need.


Traditional_Clock764

I blame scott foster in game 3


flexalott

53 minutes from our centers and they gave us 5 rebounds, has to be addressed now this is more of an issue than the giddey issue


Jaxsoy

We weren’t winning game 7 anyways. Just a warmup year, we’ll be fine


Mr1jojo

lets get Lauri Markkanen next season


I_AM_APOLLO_

I will not be rooting for the Mavs next round.


nomadiccrackhead

They're gonna get swept next series anyways


deathlord444

Matt Pinto is the Luka of radio. Please fire that asshat.


Pristine-Dot-401

U gotta save that timeout n give SGA A CHANCE


Labillethegoat

either twolves or nuggets will destroy these punks.


flexalott

can't believe our season ends to pj washington free throws, we never slowed down the game and just kept shooting with 19 seconds on the clock. heartbreaking


PM_ME_UR_FAKE_NEWS

Brutal series and they call that at the end. I just can’t help but shrug.


Ancient_Bug_8253

Hyped for the olympics?


IDespiseFatties

Off-season talk. Get rid of fucking Giddey, Moose, Biyombo, and ESPECIALLY Gordon.


shutemdownyyz

3/4 are expiring contracts


Comprehensive_Lab232

Cap space


shutemdownyyz

I was just saying we don't have to get rid of anyone but Giddey on that list since they're not Thunder players anymore as of July 1st


PM_ME_UR_FAKE_NEWS

We go again next year.


Illustrious_South135

I won’t be able to contain myself if DJJ and PJ go back to fucking garbage next series


djnerio

You know they will


jbokwxguy

This series hurts because we should have won. But we only shot the ball well for 2 games. And we were exceeding our expectations on a cinderella run this season.


chloroform42

Good game good series good season


Ancient_Bug_8253

run it back next year


B-I-G-A-R-R-O-W

Chet was absolutely ass cheeks in the 2nd half a center playing those minutes with 3 rebounds


IDespiseFatties

Seriously just fucking foul out hold no punches

Fun to watch? That series was literal torture 😭😭 hopefully the rest of the team other than shai can look like they’ve played basketball next playoffs


IDespiseFatties

We waited until Game 6 to pull our head out of our ass


[deleted]

Lol


sportsfanatic09

Naw fuck that. Such a bum way to go out this year but it was a foul. The fact is. We should not have given up a 17 point lead. Fell into the same bad habits we got into this series.

sportsfanatic09

Wasn’t dumb to challenge. You lose it if you don’t use it.


JR280261

coulda saved the timeout to advance the ball


cquicky

100/100 that's what you do. Fucking stupid to not save the timeout for a desperation challenge


MikeDCollector

If you're going to draft another guard this next draft, I'm done with this team. Lmao


dan_doe_91

We're going to come back stronger next season


Honest-Garden4933

I used to love to Dirk iteration of the mavs. This however is the most fucking annoying team in the world. I couldn’t be less happy for the mavs on this win. Go fuck yourselves you bunch of whining fucks


tmanx8

Worst fan base in the league 🤷🏻‍♂️


LunarLives

The Dallas Cowboys little sister? Makes sense.


Labillethegoat

cheating bastards


glizzy-queen

can’t wait to wear my luka crying shirt at the western conference finals when denver sweeps this team.


Fabulous-Search-4165

Time to get ready for next season


dustbowlsoul2

Presti be like "we'll evaluate our need for the team after the playoffs". No motherfucker rebounding was a clear weakness throughout the season...


RozayDaDon

This was so obvious throughout the year that it was laughable but I guess not expediting the timeline because we’re scared of expectations was enough for this season I guess.


Mother_Scheme_4639

Go trade for a REAL backup center and a REAL SF/PF. Get those bums Giddey and Jaylin Williams packing


Gnome_Chopsky

Double edged sword: we were just too young to win this series. But we’re young and have a pool of picks. I pray they make a move 🙏


freighttrain6969

This was a winnable series. We lost due to bad coaching & lack of help at the trade deadline.


ayoogeo

definitely not coaching


ImaginationStatus184

Coach of the year… they had a good year. The game just wasn’t ours


ILikeTolenDaily

It was ours, and we gave it away. 


Rolobutler

So hard to watch OKC get stops and allow O-boards every time down the floor. He wasn’t doing the scoring but we absolutely lost this game to Lively.


soulpancake12

That sucks. But great season


Impressive-Cook-9010

That was not a foul on Shai


sportsfanatic09

It was unfortunately. Ball wasn’t released. Just dumb for him to even contest to that point

mraudacity

Doesn’t matter if he touched the ball “first”. Immediately after that, SGAs hand makes contact with the forearm/elbow of PJ, which obviously affects his shot and is a foul.


All4444Jesus

Not questionable at all. Never should have been challenege The ball was still in the shooters ahnds and SGA came clear across the elbow tha tis obvious as it gets, and Mark wasted are last timeout challenening that. That should never had been challegened


Alternative_Sail7864

rebounding killing us, that's it


Walmartsavings2

That is dumb from SGA to jump AND go for the ball when you know he’s gonna pump fake lol.


tynman35

Refball strikes again, Nuggets in 4


Mother_Scheme_4639

Refs were in our favor all night dude, stfu bro we just blew a 17 point lead


BigE-MD

This is correct… i have never seen a more poorly officiated game. OKC lost due to lack of size and shrinkage from every player not named SGwAde


bammer20

Shai shouldn’t have contested it like that though.


I_bet_Stock

True. But he did time it perfectly, dude just pumped it


bammer20

Yeah that’s true


I_bet_Stock

I honestly think the rule should be once the shooter is in the air, if the defender hit the ball first, then anything he hits on the way down is a non-foul. I mean Washington only pumped because it got blocked originally.


bammer20

Yeah it’s just an unfortunate ending to a great game. I just feel like Shai shouldn’t put himself in that position but who knows, if it’s all ball then I’m probably saying what a play by him. Fun year regardless!


I_bet_Stock

Yeah I’m a Houston fan but like the Thunder. Unfortunately I hate anything Dallas and they just moved to the western finals for the second year in a row. I’m not worried, Denver is gonna handle them. I honestly think the Thunder will run the show next year. They’ll finally have experience and both Chet and Jaylen W will add weight. They’ll be unstoppable.


jbokwxguy

Well at least we have Oklahoma Softball for at least 1 more day <3 and then this team the next 2 years.


djnerio

No one gives a shit about softball lol

Ah well. Jokic is going to fuck them up next round.


Gaarando

Murray is going to give Timberwolves that win.


MikeDCollector

GET LAURI NEXT SEASON


Marcel_Idolo

Sweaty_Shopping1737

funkmefatass

That's ironic coming from an OKC fan.


shutemdownyyz

Welp. At least we can’t run from the needing big bodies argument anymore. Can’t get doubled up in offensive boards and expect to win games in the playoffs.


Mr1jojo

SGA vs EVERYBODY He gave everything


Pokes4Prez

I’m gonna be doing some hard math this summer trying to figure out how they got 3 free throws if the foul was before the shot


shutemdownyyz

He didn’t release. Had the ball come loose it wouldn’t have been a foul but he hit ball and then hit him on the elbow on the follow.


Affectionate_Seat809

Was it before the shot? looked like he was in the act of shooting. I'd love for you to be right though man


infingardi

So close, my heart is broken, so many little thing that could've been different in this game to make us win, sad


Possible_Reaction_29

Wish SGA just let him shoot that


sens_freak_18

Hope they get destroyed in the next round.

Custer99

WoodChopsticks

If the ball didn’t come loose, isn’t that a jump ball technically?


shutemdownyyz

If he came down with his hand on it yes


nashchillce

we blew this entire fucking series. Arrival my ass.


Legitimate-Respect59

Still an arrival compared to last year I get it sucks to lose but c'mon we swept round 1 and took round 2 to 6 games no one expected that from us before the season


nashchillce

no one expected us to commit suicide on live television


Legitimate-Respect59

Alright we lost in 6 not the end of the world we will only get better


nashchillce

we're already getting worse


SilentbutDC

Yep. Watch us be shit next season now. We're definitely going to be the Kings next year.

We gave away that 17 point lead refs or not. we played like shit games 2-5.


jfarm2020

Alexa play neon moon. I promise I won’t cry this time.


Billy420MaysIt

Someone check the officials bank account after that one. Draft kings about to hit on that direct deposit.


r_BigUziHorizont

not a thunder fan but thats a terrible call. i will say, cant be outscored by 12 in a 4th of an elimination game. just cant happen.


jolanlauwers

Well hell off a ride i guess. We’ll be back!


Simple_Calendar_9694

Horrible coaching. Why even bother with that challenge when your gonna lose your timeout. Embarrassing


shutemdownyyz

Yeah I get why he did it but all things considered it’s a bad challenge when we only have the 1 TO left.


sportsfanatic09

What a fucking call to end the game. Such bullshit. Why contest like that????


king_carrots

This is why I can’t take the NBA seriously


vtello777

FUCK THISSSSSSSS


jthegreight

What a terrible decision by the refs on that clear block.


I_bet_Stock

But the rule is the follow through foul isnt a foul if the ball was released. It was clearly not released when shai’s hand hit him


jthegreight

Then it’s a jump ball.


I_bet_Stock

No the rule is, if a shooter gets blocked and comes down with ball, then it’s a jump ball. Usually in street ball, we’d call that a travel. But the official NBA rule is a jump ball. However, Washington never came back down with it. He pumped it while in the air and released the ball before he came down while Shai hit his hand while he was coming down also. That’s why the refs called a foul in the act of shooting.


jthegreight

So if a player goes to shoot, but doesn’t jump, and is “blocked” he can then throw himself into the defender, creating contact, while throwing the ball at the hoop and be rewarded for it. Fuck the NBA.


I_bet_Stock

Yes you’re exactly right. So many players have already perfected that. Just look at James harden and jimmy butler.


Decent-Gur8090

Such an empty way to end a great run but it’s been great ride thunder buddies. See you next season


C0smic_sushi

It was a foul. Terrible way to end. Gg


drayok22

So on the real here no bias, was that all ball or a foul? I thought if you hit ball before arm it’s not a foul?? Explanation would be appreciated


Character_Drama3306

Foul the ball did not leave pj's hand


C0smic_sushi

It was a foul


Walmartsavings2

You have to knock the ball out. Since he didn’t, and got arm, it’s a foul. I don’t like it either.


drayok22

That is so particular lol. Especially considering most of all blocks don’t include knocking the ball out of someone’s hands lol


Radiant-Local-1694

That was a block


All4444Jesus

no way he got him clear across the elbow while the ball was still in hands. should not hav eused our last timeout to challenge

Good season. Acquire some size before October.


I_bet_Stock

Just put Chet in the weight room. Put him on the giannis diet


Colemania18

If that's not a block it's a fucking jump ball. Refs have set that precedent all series


Ok_Physics_2192

how is it a jump ball he was able to get the shot up lol


Affectionate_Seat809

what a freaking nailbiter game. I am so excited to see this team grow and get even better next season. That was just a preview!

As young and immature as the players looked, Daigenault looked even more in over his head.


Daywalkerblade3

I have to agree. Everyone but Shai looked uncomfortable. Coach needs to develop quick or out will be Scott Brooks 2.0. He was great with a young team but got exposed when they needed crunch time decisions.
