  1. New-Candy-800

    Sorry doom and gloomers, we actually won the game

  2. Forgettable win. Credit to Pels for showing poise and fighting hard. They most likely win this with BI.

    We went from being the team to make 20 point comebacks, to giving up 20 point leads. Thunder need to look in the mirror, April is among us.

    Also, pay Giddey.

  3. SoreBallsAdams

    Don’t know if I should be concerned about us blowing 20 point leads without much resistance or impressed that we still manage to pull a W out in these games

    Probably both
    Ps. Bring back Wigs

  4. Parallel-Quality

    Lost in the aftermath of the 20-point-blown lead is that Giddey had a hell of a game.

    Hope we can see him consistently play at this level.

  5. revisioncloud

    Is Josh Giddey New Orleans Pelicans father

  6. Is Wiggins injured or Mark’s brain is injured?

  7. IDespiseFatties

    My heart can only take so much. Good Win Thunder Bros.

  8. C0smic_sushi

    Ugly win. Also the first time I see Wiggins on tv should not be in a post game interview. Play the man!

  9. Down 5 and the finish the game on a 12 to 0 run 🥵

  11. Headlesshorsman02

    Hey a win is a win. The big 4 played well SGA a bit worse then usual though but hit the clutch bucket when it counted

  12. KingCakeBabyOKC

    Giddey played great, let him carry that into tomorrow and sit Shai, he has no burst or lift right now.

  13. SpideyPoke92

    I’m glad the boys got this one. Especially for 50 on the season.

    I know sports fandom shouldn’t dictate happiness, but after some bad personal news today. I needed this one too.

  14. TPFRecoil

    Shai has had like five bad games on an otherwise spotless season, and y’all were ready to pronounce a dead career in the game thread.

  15. And y’all wanted to trade him at the deadline 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  16. sportsfanatic09

    Giddey is the reason we won this game. Better regroup bc Houston is tough right now. And the next 4-5 games are brutal

  17. Illustrious-Tower849

    Aaron wiggins saved post game interviews

  18. Grogbog13

    Was Wiggins injured? Hayward should not be getting any minutes over him

  19. PokuCHEFski69

    50 wins. Think of that.

    All that negativity in the game thread was pathetic btw

  20. nashchillce

    Gallo was like “let me get Giddey and Dort”
    *Jdub, Jwill, and Chet spawn in*

  21. Iamkonkerz

    The salt in nba reddit fills me with determination!

  22. allthenews2008

    Glad things turned out our way, but Shai needs to rest until he’s 100% and Gordon Hayward should not get minutes over Wiggins until he can be more than a 0 on offense.

    Shoutout to Giddey for really stepping up to the plate.

  23. I don’t think that’s an ugly win at all. We controlled and shot better most of the game. We played a good team that threw a punch. We came back and finished it. Great win!

  24. Maximum_Ad_3739

    That might have been the best Thunder win of the season. Putting Dort on Zion down the stretch, and Shai didn’t have a classic scoring game, but Shai’s defense down the stretch was crucial to the W. And Giddey. If that Giddey shows up all the time, OKC is winning a title at some point.

  25. Ok-Fun7442

    Hayward -19 in 10 minutes, my expectation was low but holy shit.

    And does anyone know why Wiggins didn’t play?

  26. Omegabyss_5531

    We keep blowing big leads which we win. That’s such an issue if we were to lose those games

  27. Breezgoat

    Thunder mvp odds now at +800? The book suspects he’s gonna rest or something? It was +300 last week

  28. Great game down the stretch but Gordon getting no stats and -19 in 10 minutes while Aaron Wiggins is dnp is disgusting work. Hate to complain because we won but how can Aaron save basketball on the bench

  29. Hammyboi230

    I’ve never seen a team this young be this composed late in games

  30. AzHaeez21

    If this cold sga stretch is gonna jumpstart giddeys resurgence by the time the playoffs start, I don’t mind it.

  31. IhateTGT1

    am i blind or has the r/nba subreddit not posted the post game thread? 3 devices i looked on and nothing, but the lakers game already had a few posted within a minute
