How long until this group of star players leave OKC?

The final score doesn't show how huge of a blowout this game was

axeofeugene.bsky.social•57 days ago

That was a statement game. OKC put the league on notice.

Somewhere in Bristol. There is an ESPN executive with nothing but laker and 76er gear in their office, just furious about all this.

It’s more judicious to wait for the post season to roll around before passing judgement on these two teams if they’re truly 🏆 caliber squads. And of the two, I’d pick the Cavs to have a better chance to go deep in the playoffs.

sjdco-xblows.bsky.social•57 days ago

Right? Ending up losing in 2nd rd doesn’t make regular season matter that much.

Two giants just going back and forth. Love it!

This game was excellent. They killed it and the league woke up.

114-134

The scores in the modern are insane. There's no defence in what so ever 😟

prezmullet.bsky.social•57 days ago

Would you be surprised if I told you one of those teams scored 14 in the 1st quarter and that team started the 4th down 40?

sfenner.bsky.social•56 days ago

Cavs were down by more than 40. Their only good offensive quarter came in the 4th after both teams had emptied the bench. This game was a defensive master class.

chrish2122.bsky.social•57 days ago

12 steals? 😂

leahbh.bsky.social•57 days ago

Did you watch the game?

snupher.bsky.social•57 days ago

It’s okay Michael. We know you didn’t.
That defense was insane. Cleveland kept jumping at the basket and shrugging because the ball was already down the court.

chrish2122.bsky.social•57 days ago

Man if 12 steals is not playing defense, I want the Thunder to not play defense like that every night.

jonhamm.bsky.social•57 days ago

everyone knows this was when basketball was great and the ratings were perfect and nobody ever expressed concern about them

chrish2122.bsky.social•57 days ago

So ugly.

snupher.bsky.social•57 days ago

Put OKC 103 on either one of those scores and it looks like a box score from this year.

theathletic.bsky.social•57 days ago

Oklahoma City, which hasn’t lost at home since mid-November, led by as many as 42 points in the third quarter.

The Thunder’s reserves missed so many shots that the final was not indicative of just how lopsided the game was, @joevardon.bsky.social writes.

Saw this game live and it was a beating. SGA for MVP for sure!!

meeike.bsky.social•57 days ago

Seems like a lot of hype just to go out to Mavs in 6 again

woodwardnick.bsky.social•57 days ago

Will Luka be back from fat camp in time for the playoffs?

meeike.bsky.social•57 days ago

Haha he has a pretty impressive Playoff resume, sending teams into rebuilds and hitting game winners, even when he was injured last year he got to the finals. He'll be ok 💪

pegasus714.bsky.social•57 days ago

That game was brutal.

obleu.bsky.social•57 days ago

I like Lu Fort. He's basically Marcus Smart with a cooler name minus the flopping and stupid shots
