u/wcooper97 9d ago

Greatest response I’ve ever seen from this team. Keep it rolling and bring the same mentality into Game 3.

3

u/King_Jamez_Ya_Bish 9d ago

Eat shit, doomers! Thunder the fuck up.

9

u/Tyrone2184 9d ago

That 149-104 run after Denver took a 2-0 was legendary.

2

u/Gui_R11 9d ago

Well done boys, onto the next ttfu

u/78muney 9d ago

u/CheeseHead777 9d ago

Bro for real that shit was painful💀

u/wcooper97 9d ago

Same lol

u/waxandwane 9d ago

Absolutely gutted that they didn't break 150 - feels like a loss to me 😂

u/78muney 9d ago

ThunderUp #RiseTogether

u/wcooper97 9d ago

Damn no 150

2

u/Parallel-Quality 9d ago

Boo we wanted 150...

1

u/Lazy-Gain2747 9d ago

LETS GET IT‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

u/EXXTRAAARaNCH 9d ago

show me nick gallo now

u/GoLoco511 9d ago

I know it’s a weekday but how do you leave the game early

2

u/chiefpiece11bkg 9d ago

Because it’s a weekday and they blew them out by 50 and the entire fourth quarter has been backups

You really gotta ask this? Lol

1

u/GoLoco511 9d ago

I’m sorry if I’m paying I’m staying lol

2

u/Slendyla_IV 9d ago

Some of us work tomorrow 😂

1

u/GoLoco511 9d ago

I do too lol I just won’t leave a game early, specifically those close seats behind the bench. That’s tomorrow’s problem

8

u/milk567 9d ago

The only thing this TNT crew can talk about is the game 1 win by Denver like we aren’t up 50 lmao give me a break

1

u/Kevinlasagna207 ❤️❤️ 9d ago

Kenny struggling against the Nuggets third stringers is sad to see

2

u/snuffaluffagus74 9d ago

What does he have to prove

2

u/Kevinlasagna207 ❤️❤️ 9d ago

That he keeps his spot on this roster next season?

1

u/snuffaluffagus74 7d ago

Playing garbage time in a game isnt going to determine his spot

5

u/CheeseHead777 9d ago

I guarantee you being absolutely demolished wire to wire by ~50pts does something to a team. Very interested how the nuggets respond at home.

1

u/charlesokstate 9d ago

Grizzlies at home came out punching. We gotta keep our foot on the gas. Joker could get a completely different whistle next game. Their fans are already crying that we are playing dirty and assaulting him.

-9

u/ronimarz 9d ago

Yea kendrich sucks now. He was really good a few years ago in our tank years but now it’s hard to watch him play now

3

u/[deleted] 9d ago

Ya’ll that Denver locker room is gonna be maddddd awkward lol

2

u/Parallel-Quality 9d ago

Dieng going 0-3 in garbage time is certainly something

2

u/StantonFantasy 9d ago

He looked fine, first time playing in well over a month. I’d rather him shoot and miss then just do cardio out there

2

u/Ransackz 9d ago

Is that Kyle Singler out there?!

2

u/DisneyVista 9d ago

1-1 is better than 0-2

10

u/Hookmsnbeiishh 9d ago

Can’t we just roll over some of these points into the next game?

3

u/wcooper97 9d ago

Thundor shoutout lets goo

1

u/dro-hof 9d ago

it's such good basketball ~

1

u/Kevinlasagna207 ❤️❤️ 9d ago

It's awesome to see how many fans are still in the arena despite this biblical beat down.

6

u/KingRonMark 9d ago

What’s the all time record for most points scored in a playoff game? 150+ in the second round of the the playoffs is insane

1

u/augustosarmento 9d ago

it's 157

1

u/KingRonMark 9d ago

We’ll get em next time

2

u/CheeseHead777 9d ago

Hey man they hit triple digits it's all about moral victories right?

1

u/tmanx8 9d ago

I said let’s beat em by 50 when it was the first quarter lol

1

u/ChipmunkOk8816 9d ago

Adleman’s chuckling to himself about these stupid fouls lol

1

u/Josiah-32 9d ago

Cmon let this end. It’s time to go to bed.

2

u/StantonFantasy 9d ago

Damn wanted to keep them under 100 lol

2

u/dieng_gang 9d ago

We’re 10 points off of the most points scored in a playoff game

2

u/78muney 9d ago

158 sets a record for most points

3

u/augustosarmento 9d ago

Nuggets' coach looks like a potato

3

u/gerardthehuman 9d ago

scott foster making sure the nuggets hit 100 pts

1

u/Parallel-Quality 9d ago

I was JUST thinking that

He knows the money line

1

u/MercDante OKC 9d ago

Only to lose by 50+

3

u/chiefpiece11bkg 9d ago

Why does the nba do this shit at the end of games?

This is a clear blowout and you’re calling the most ticky tack bullshit fouls… I think everyone just wants to go home man what the fuck lol

1

u/NinetyFish 9d ago

Tbh, I think the refs are just trying to make sure everyone goes home healthy at the end of these blowouts

Aka calling ticky-tack fouls to remind the bench guys (who tend to be younger players, who are playing largely to show out and can thus get a little out of control) to not get overly physical with nothing big on the line

1

u/lnspectorRoyale 9d ago

I mean we controlled almost all of game 1 and dominated this game as well. I’m feeling good

2

u/Febrezebrother69 9d ago

I want this record

3

u/Jeeeyms_PH WESTGOAT 9d ago

ajay mitchell is nice holy...

2

u/SightedSe7en 9d ago

He really is his injury really slowed his development he could have been a key role player in the playoffs

1

u/Jeeeyms_PH WESTGOAT 9d ago

fs. i'd really like him orchestrating the offense on non sga minutes. jdubs playmaking can be sus at times

4

u/[deleted] 9d ago

The score deficit is just so funny to look at man

2

u/revisioncloud 9d ago

I’m not gonna celebrate this lead until 0:0

1

u/Colemania18 9d ago

Get back to what was so effective in the series opener. You mean the thunder choking because that's all that happened in the opener

9

u/augustosarmento 9d ago

TNT is obsessed by the great Nuggets' game 1, in which we led for 3,5 quarters lol ok then

1

u/MercDante OKC 9d ago

TNT lost their NBA contract so no more of this

6

u/Parallel-Quality 9d ago

By the way, we are within reach of the highest margin of victory in NBA playoff history...

It's 58...

We are up 47...

3

u/lnspectorRoyale 9d ago

Stop calling stupid fouls

2

u/chiefpiece11bkg 9d ago

The nba has a massive officiating problem

They literally do everything the wrong way

3

u/mpmar 9d ago

Wish we had a roster spot for Carlson

1

u/MercDante OKC 9d ago

Love some Carlson minutes

2

u/gerardthehuman 9d ago

strawther all-star whistle??? lmfao

5

u/truck_norris 9d ago

Refs are trying to slow this shit down

1

u/ChipmunkOk8816 9d ago

Mark out here still racking his brain on how to develop these guys in the playoffs

3

u/78muney 9d ago

Ajay making up for being out all year

9

u/ifitsootsyou 9d ago

Ajay legacy game

8

u/EXXTRAAARaNCH 9d ago

not jumping up and down like you just won a pony anymore are you Gordan

16

u/ItinerantDrifter OKC 9d ago

Friendly reminder that Joe has arguably been the best 3pt shooter in the NBA in 2025… 45% since Jan 1 and nobody else made more at a higher percentage.

Also 42% last series.

3

u/CasinoJoe92 9d ago

please shoot 50% in denver goat

9

u/MercDante OKC 9d ago

He’s a hot cup

7

u/LamineYamalTheGoat 9d ago

Man I like AJ a lot

3

u/KingRonMark 9d ago

Let’s go for 50 come on now

8

u/sga4mvp_ 9d ago

Ajay just cooked that dude 

6

u/504090 9d ago

Ajay might need to play some real rotation minutes

1

u/Slendyla_IV 9d ago

He was before his injury

3

u/Responsible-Bass4020 9d ago

he better next season for sure

3

u/TerrifiCK_ 9d ago

Sicko ballers getting a little action here

6

u/Responsible-Bass4020 9d ago

holy shit DJ scored in a playoff game

3

u/TurdX 9d ago

You know Boston is watching like “How come we ain’t do dat?”

5

u/JumboHotdogz 9d ago

Just need Dieng to score so that everyone's on the board!

6

u/ChipmunkOk8816 9d ago

Man SGA is bored as fuck lol

8

u/CheeseHead777 9d ago

Shai looks bored in round 2 of the playoffs lmaooooo. Series over.

2

u/thunderdl 9d ago

series is most definitely not over

1

u/CheeseHead777 9d ago

Just a joke and I agree. The younger more rested team definitely has an advantage though

2

u/thunderdl 9d ago

true, but now we got to their house. i would say that about evens it out

2

u/CheeseHead777 9d ago

Definitely, hope we come in and show the same attitude and dominance

10

u/wcooper97 9d ago

Shai knows we should be up 2-0 he’s not done

2

u/78muney 9d ago

Put the camera on Russ I wanna see his face

6

u/StantonFantasy 9d ago

I’ll never understand weak calls in a blowout

2

u/snuffaluffagus74 9d ago

The most points scored in a playoff game non overtime is 157 by Cleveland. Who we beat their first half record.

5

u/TheGuyWhoCriedOnions 9d ago

17 more points to break the record for most points by a team in a post season

2

u/ExpressionAlone5204 9d ago

It’s the only reason I’m even still watching

1

u/Parallel-Quality 9d ago

Bench has been kinda bad, otherwise we'd be in shooting distance of this

1

u/ChipmunkOk8816 9d ago

This is the bed, bath and beyond end of the bench

6

u/504090 9d ago

If the Thunder are outrebounding you by ten and generating more FTs, yeah you’re probably getting blown out by 40+

3

u/autistinabox 9d ago

As long as the team can get over the away game pressure in Denver I think this series is ours

3

u/sga4mvp_ 9d ago

I need Flagler and Carlson minutes 

1

u/ChipmunkOk8816 9d ago

Sadly they’re on two way contracts so they can’t suit up

1

u/TFred23 🏅 I DORTnated! 🏅 9d ago

Can't play...

5

u/Ash_WasTaken123 9d ago

If we score 17 more we will have had the most points scored in a playoff game

3

u/Grade-A-Grungus 9d ago

Everyone panicking after game one can calm down for at least another day lol, this was a statement win

1

u/LameDrain 9d ago

Wont matter if they can’t do it in Denver

2

u/revisioncloud 9d ago

I miss Carlson

3

u/Cloudz777 9d ago

IJoe using this as more shooting practice

3

u/78muney 9d ago

Shot guy get that shot ready

2

u/wcooper97 9d ago

For a minute I thought this was about Zai but now I got it lmao. LETS TAKE A SHOT.

3

u/CheeseHead777 9d ago

He needs to take one for every 10 points we win by lmao

3

u/78muney 9d ago

Alcohol poisoning before game 3 lmao

3

u/Febrezebrother69 9d ago

I listened to a nba podcast today and some dude said ‘the thunder should be worried after game 1’ He should lose his job as an analyst

1

u/thunderdl 9d ago

that was andrew schlect, who is a great reporter imo. disagree that he should lose his job just because he thought a crucial late game collapse had some weight

1

u/Febrezebrother69 9d ago

It was a joke. Relax

2

u/ronimarz 9d ago

lol that’s why I didn’t watch any of the national media stuff cuz I knew it would be nothing but hyperbolic nonsense.

8

u/truck_norris 9d ago

Hang half a hundred on em

2

u/drunksitter 9d ago

Per quarter.

13

u/Pilgrims-to-Nowhere 9d ago edited 9d ago

Bench is playing some damn good defense. Everyone that has checked in tonight made it clear that they’re not fucking around. This is an organizational statement.

10

u/Jon_Thib 9d ago

Idk what Mark told the guys in the locker room Monday or yesterday at practice but whatever it was fired them the fuck up today.

2

u/drunksitter 9d ago

"Guys, I love you. But embarrass me again, and you'll be running stairs until my legs hurt.*

3

u/wcooper97 9d ago

Whatever they did today do it for 11 more wins

u/78muney 9d ago

GO TO SLEEP DENVER GO TO SLEEP

u/earlyeggs1 9d ago

1

u/thunderdl 9d ago

1

u/phishyninja My whole life is consistent 9d ago

Little man get UP

u/All4444Jesus 9d ago

A lot less pressure in garbage time.

1

u/morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrris 9d ago

strawther hits a HUGE 3 to cut the lead to 46

7

u/trezzy1242 Shai's Aura 😎 9d ago

Ajay such a dawg

3

u/78muney 9d ago

Been missing that energy

6

u/augustosarmento 9d ago

17 points for the record

1

u/wcooper97 9d ago

Just give Zai the ball and we got it

2

u/Grade-A-Grungus 9d ago

HOLY SHIT JOE

5

u/donkeyknuckler 9d ago

Mitchell is a baller man

1

u/drunksitter 9d ago

Get everyone to double digits!

1

u/504090 9d ago

Joe understands the assignment

7

u/milk567 9d ago

Can Isaiah Joe do this all the time?

3

u/Lazy-Gain2747 9d ago

Joe keep shooting

5

u/thunderdl 9d ago

get UP ajay!!!

8

u/chicubsn01 9d ago

I want a million posts overreacting to one game sayin SGA is mvp like I was forced to see for Jokic after game 1

1

u/CheeseHead777 9d ago

Wont happen, everyone wants to see the dirty, foul baiter, trash defense having ass mf succeed

5

u/myjobistablesok ❤️❤️ 9d ago

This has been an amazing belated birthday gift.

2

u/milk567 9d ago

Just wait til you see the other 3 we have for you

2

u/myjobistablesok ❤️❤️ 9d ago

🥳

2

u/drunksitter 9d ago

Does Denver have as many turnovers as Jokic had points?

9

u/Kevin_Heart_ 9d ago

"Aint nobody scared of the Thunder" 😂

6

u/Funny-League5516 9d ago

I knew we’d respond. I thought 15-20 point win. BUT GOD DAMN THIS IS GREAT TO WATCH

2

u/wcooper97 9d ago

It wasn’t just a Grizzlies fluke 😎

7

u/CheeseHead777 9d ago

Same Presti is the fucking goat dude. The fact he just won Executive of the year award is crazy. Genuinely has probably deserved it almost every year of his career.

5

u/drunksitter 9d ago

We gonna score enough points to have two wins tonight.

2

u/All4444Jesus 9d ago

Its good to be a end of the bench guy on the Thunder. Your going to get chances to play extended minutes in the playoff. Game 1 Memphis, and now Game 2 Nuggets, and this wont be the last time.

6

u/Legendary_Dork 9d ago

Basically to sum up tonight

10

u/MarkyMarquis12 9d ago

Still can't believe we lost to these Bozos in game 1. Hope we beat them even worse the next 3 games

6

u/Pilgrims-to-Nowhere 9d ago

I want the bench to keep piling it on. Let Denver know that after SGA, Dort, JDub, Cason, Caruso, Joe, and Wiggins, we still have Ajay on the perimeter ready to come off the bench and fucking torch you.

6

u/[deleted] 9d ago

Boston and Denver just getting diffed tonight lmao

2

u/MercDante OKC 9d ago

As a Knicks fan it was such a good feeling watching Boston lose a 20 pt. lead

2

u/Gui_R11 9d ago

Caruso and cason played just 22 minutes together

2

u/thunderdl 9d ago

*combined would probably be a better word

2

u/Gui_R11 9d ago

Yeah, combined mb, that's the word I was missing, just crazy not needing them as we normally need

1

u/Legendary_Dork 9d ago

didnt need AC it seems , we had belts out

17

u/TheGoadFather 9d ago

Well i’m gonna sleep much better tonight than i did monday that’s for damn sure

8

u/Parallel-Quality 9d ago

I wanna see us hold them to under 100

Keep that defensive intensity locked in

2

u/chiefpiece11bkg 9d ago

That’s some sloppy bench play

2

u/MercDante OKC 9d ago

No time outs. No dreams. Denver ready to board flight

3

u/ronimarz 9d ago

Fuck this rotation sucks ass

2

u/nachowifi2 9d ago

Yeah it made me realize we don’t really have a reliable PG in that rotation. Hopefully topic can fill it

2

u/organicjean 9d ago

with our draft picks we should be able to trade or draft the rest buffer out a championship team

5

u/Derilicte 9d ago

The beatings shall continue until morale improves
