So many teams have drastically changed the look of their court and jerseys but I respect OKC for looking the same as they did back when KD and Russ were in the playoffs. Even Lakers look totally different now
OKC fans sure love the sport!
Every game ever played is CRAZY according to this channel
The Shot-Clock!!! If you watch the 3’s they were chucking up one after the other in a rush the shot-clock didn’t reset, then 10-seconds got added mid-play, then after the final shot the ref stop the game to reset the clock again. Pretty BIG technical issue at a critical point
Thunder have to beef up the frontcoart nd shooting next season. Grant Williams, Turner, Herro, Towns, Mikal Bridges, Beal, and Markanen should be the targeted players. I'd say Mikal and Markanen will be great additions. SGA, Mikal, Jaylin, Markanen and Chet.

Wow what a CRAZY ENDING
2 minutes ago is crazy
A lot of 3's shooting attempted by NOP at 1:04 time left, but nothing there. The crowd gave tense to pelicans and made the OKC wins👌
The Pelicans shot 38.5% from the field and 28.2% from three. Incidentally, the two shots that Larry Nance, Jr. missed in the final minutes were the only shots he missed-he was 4-6 in the game.

It was an ugly win but who cares, a win is a win. Yes this young group has never been to the playoffs and they lack experience from that environment but that doesn't mean they should be underestimated and they will make adjustments for the next game. People have been doubting the thunder all season but the team has proved the haters wrong so let's just see what they'll do the rest of the series. Even if the thunder do lose in the first round that's just more playoff experience for them to go off for next year and they have nothing to feel bad about considering this is the third year of their rebuild and they already done so much

If Zion was here it would be a 7 game series.
really ? every 2 min ad?
McCollum sold the offense if you ask me forced and missed shots. Ball dominate as well towards the end. Pelicans gave the game away. A bunch of blown opportunities. Just game 1 let’s see the adjustments.
With the addition of Zion this series is going to be very interesting
Shouldn’t even been this close, OKC couldn’t grab rebounds or keep their offense consistent
Pelicans really gave this away when they had a lot of chances. Couldn’t male a bucket to capitalize in the end. So many offensive rebounds that didn’t amount to anything and turnovers.
I don’t care who wins because neither team can get by the Clippers but Pels played for crap and have to realize they let that one slip. 38% from the field, 28% from 3, out board, out assist (two keys in the playoffs) and to lose because of that shooting.
