Oklahoma City Thunder Win The Defensive Battle in Game 1

  1. 🗣️ROOOO ROO ROOO 🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺 ‼️ They were nervous AF playing uncharacteristic basketball which is ok. Coach was helping the officials make the right call 😂 Very gritty early 2000s style basketball. Going scoreless for 5 minutes was very uncomfortable. So use to scoring in bunches . J Dub's maturity needs to be studied for sure.

  2. I absolutely agree with your assessment of Josh last night. I honestly think coach D should've put him back in during that 5-minute stretch in the 4th quarter. IMO, we needed someone else who could attack, whether they finished or facilitated. I just don't think Isaiah Joe or Cason are at the level of Josh when it comes to that. He would have probably been matched up with CJ so he could use his size to his advantage, to get to the bucket for finishes or have the defense collapse and him kicking it out.
    We played one of our worst games out the gate and won. I think the Pels may have blown any opportunity to win this series. And I think it falls on BI. He made the comment about not remembering any matches with us this year but remembers us knocking them out of the play-in last season. And he proceeds to go out there and be locked down by Lu in a game his team had the opportunity to win had he played better. That tells me all I need to know. He'll probably have a couple good games, but they will most likely be in losing efforts. 4-1 OKC

  3. OKC will learn plenty from this as they always do. First playoff game under many of their belts, the experience of a game like this will do wonders for them. To come out of it with the win too keeps morale high and removes some pressure. They're going to be great going forward. TTFU ⚡

  4. The NOP were ready, they didn’t make it easy for OKC. The game got physical, it sort of reminded me of old basketball. It was like a good shaking for OKC. The way OKC were passing, scoring, the way they were blocking, and the way they defended. It was a very tight game.
    You can tell it was a playoff game.

  5. That scoring drought in the 4th was so nerve-wracking but I'm hyped for the guys to secure the dub and come through clutch. Shoutout Shai for delivering once again.

    Can't believe we gave up so many offensive boards and shot so poorly from 3, plus the 4th quarter scoring drought, AND WE STILL WON.

    Crowd seemed unbelievable and Cason showed why he deserves to be out there.

  6. It speaks volumes that we played bad and still managed to win. I think we come out in game 2 and win by 10+

  7. Dave I'm like you… fuck fuck.. but we end up winning the game.. like some of the comments we got this one under our belt..

  8. Is it just me or did they (NBA) actually count all 5 of OklaHolmgrens blocks!!??
    I might be alone on this, but it seemed like all season I was counting more blocks than the stats would show after some of our games 🤷🏻
