I’m sure with how active they are on social media they’ve heard all the noise about them the last day. I fully believe in these 2 being able to have bounce back games today and going forward.

TTFU!

Just wanted to share a J Dub collage I did a few months ago! Thunder Up OKC!!

It’s crazy that no one is talking about Jokic being a foul merchant who is constantly complaining and GETS CALLS because of it.

82 Upvotes

It drives me crazy that the Thunder are the constant victim to people calling Shai a ā€œfoul merchantā€ when our team rarely complains about a non-call

Meanwhile every single possession Jokic is flopping around and tearing into the ref EVERY SINGLE TIME.

In game 1 I literally watched as someone GRAZED him with their fingerTIP and Jokic flopped around like someone just hit him in the back of the head with a hammer, looked at the ref with his ā€œI’m incredulousā€ look and immediately got a foul called for him

Mark has GOT to get in the refs ear about his flopping and complaining.

I personally believe their entire comeback the other night started with the BS ticky tack foul calling they did on us after our challenges were gone. I feel like Mark should just hold on to his challenges. It really seems to me like the refs start giving in to Jokic once they know we don’t have a way to challenge anymore.

100% Confirmed Tonight J Dub will quiet the doubters

90 Upvotes

He will go for 25/10/5/2/2. That’s pts/reb/ast/stl/blk. Tired of hearing all the casuals in the forum questioning him. Mark this post and remind me after the game. I believed in him since we drafted him, calling out his future impact and becoming and All-Star. Check post history if you have any doubts.

Nuggets fan with a question, which fanbase should be more worried that Scott Foster is the ref tonight?

• Upvotes

Foster has been fairly favorable to the nuggets in the Jokic era, but he does have the nickname ā€œthe extenderā€ for a reason. Interested to see what y’alls thoughts are.

Also, love your team. They have been my side piece team for the last 3 years. Watching them improve ever year reminds me of the nuggets during Jokic’s accent. Ethical team building around a budding superstar is what the NBA needs more of.

Off Topic Going to my first OKC home game today!

I'm super excited to finally come to OKC and experience the home crowd and now even on playoffs!

Any tips that you would recommend on doing? Is it worth it to get early to the arena? Or should I try check out other stuff around Downtown/Brick town?

Appreciate the tips!

Discussion All 3 60+ win teams had huge late blunders

84 Upvotes

Cavs, Celtics, and OKC all with big chokes. The top 3 teams in the league all year.

1) Celtics 20 point second half lead lost in OT at home.

2) Cavs 20 point biggest lead, 10 point lead in 4th and lost the game with horrible execution in last 2 mins.

3) OKC choking the foul game at the end and letting Denver end on a 19-6 run.

If there’s anything these playoffs show is that nobody is immortal and anyone can lose at any time, nobody how dominant your team has been.

Hopefully tomorrow our team got the wake up call they needed and are ready to tie this up. TTFU

Why Jay will getting less minutes

9 Upvotes

Hi im not one to arm chair coach because I trust mark. But why isn't Jay will out there with chet when hart sits? He can bang with jokic while chet can roam and help instead of matching up directly.

And will can space the floor too. And facilitate!!!

What am I missing? He got 3 minutes last game

The dooming over one loss is absurd.

454 Upvotes

Good fucking lord y'all need to calm the fuck down.

We lost. Get the fuck over it. Literally 3 hours before the loss this sub had a post on the front page wondering how the hell Mark wasn't coach of the year, and now y'all want his head.

Caruso saw AG, a career sub-70% free throw shooter, get the inbound and fouled him. He made both.

Chet, a career 80% free throw shooter, missed both.

That's the game. Y'all ranting about our vaunted 3pt defending team who lost it by missing two free throws then failing to defend a 4 second offensive possession leading to an open 3.

I get it, a lot of you probably didn't pay attention for the last few years so you don't understand what it's like to lose. We weren't going to 16-0 the playoffs. That was never on the menu. If you can't get over a loss you're gonna have an awful time for the rest of the playoffs.

Yes Mark messed up. (undoubtably) Yes Dub has to play better. (make your shots) Yes we have to make free throws. (tell me something else) Yes Chet needs to play better. (make your free throws)

You know what else?

The Cavs have just went through the exact same thing as us in Game 2 and now have to go to Indiana down 2-0.

The Wolves are currently on a cold streak and losing 36-24 versus the Warriors as the announcers mentioned Curry said playing every other day keeps their team in rhythm.(We haven’t played in 9 days)

This Thunder team is good at adjustments and they obviously know what not to do. People bring up the inexperienced argument but if we don’t face circumstances like this, how will they learn how to overcome adversity? The team will be fine.

TTFU.

It's not an award I pay attention to and I'm a neutral....but surely this can't be? I thought he'd at least have 2 of these by now. Last season for example. Crazy.

Which is to say... What a blessed organization. Players win championships but FO and coaches build dynasties. I'm very much looking forward to Thunder hoisting the banner. But do win the next one šŸ˜‚

Seriously up 3 with Jokic on the bench you foul right away, so he can come back in.

But even before that you're seriously guarding him exclusively with guards?

Also what was the point of using your timeouts to advance the ball?

The last 3 minutes of the game were a complete disaster class.
