    Lol always moving the goalpost. When spurs were about to face the thunder “they can’t beat them, they’re too young.” After they beat them “it’s only the regular season, playoff physicality will kill them.”

      It’s even worse that teams this year were able to be ultra physical with the Spurs during the regular season.

      Reply to this if your team isnt the Wolves and you think they will lose to us.

    Can’t wait to see Wilbon backpedal when the Spurs finally get the Chip.

    Stephen A showed & told us basically he knows nothing of OKC’s depth if he seriously thinks San Antonio is deeper.

    Let’s flip this.

    There’s a chance the Thunder could take down the Spurs.

    San Antonio is on Oklahoma City’s level. And the Spurs are a matchup problem for the Thunder. Spurs are tire favorites.

    Wemby needs to not dribble his head into the court before that series is even a possibility

    If the Thunder can get past the Spurs, which I doubt, the Celtics will be ready.

    Okc had to lose in 2024 against the mavs to be able to win the championship in 2025. Same with this year with the spurs who have a great team but their playoff inexperience will hurt them. Whether they struggle to beat the wolves or nuggets and then face the thunder.
