Game 7 at home, all a young team can ask for

 

[realityball]

I for sure was drinking the OKC Kool Aid...regular season was so good I thought ok these guys can be that. But let's be clear, they still are the best team left, this is still a OKC title year IMO

a long time ago, while fantasizing about a Celtic/Thunder final, I thought OKC’s youth and inexperience was the only weakness I could see, but didnt give that much weight to it until now … dammit … dammit

 

[realityball]

I mean, I'm always going to rate the entertainment of 2014-2022 as pretty high up there

I’m talking about all the series in the playoffs …

It’s a thing. I’m even seeing the coach struggle adjusting rotations. I would like to see him come out a Sunday with the regular season rotations and see what happens.

Yep Denver also been in multiple game 7s. This is the first one for most of this okc group except SGA, Hartenstein, and maybe Dort and I think those 3 only played in 1 each at most

Well experience didn't help them against Minnesota last season.

At 24.15, thunder would be the youngest team to ever win the championship (‘77 Trailblazers @ 24.19)

… or is this old news to y’all?

Yeah I guess putting aside my excitement in those years for my team this year has a lot of fun series going on at once

Nope, knew this and still picked em to win. Still on track to...

They were going to be tested, this ain't the 2017 Warriors

 

[thunderc]

Thunder been in 10 playoff games this season now, it’s time to find a rhythm.

The cliche remains...playoffs are just different. But OKC is young and so talented they will have many bites at the apple win or lose

Really bummed Steph went down not just because season over, but cheated us out of another likely 7 gamer

Similar to Tatum injury, just SUCKS

Barely played Joe tonight

Barely played Joe tonight

Yup it’s like every game he is trying something different with Shai.

Nuggets needed a big game from Christian Braun and got one.

Just got to hope the performances from Braun and Strawther can travel…

 

[HurricaneDij39]

Let’s keep the Seattle curse alive on Sunday…

Go Nuggets.

 

[HurricaneDij39]

Could really confuse them w/ this lineup…

- Russ
- Murray
- Braun
- P-Wat
- Jokic

 

[DJ Fieri]

So much for OKC in 5 or 6.
