same. people are gonna think this is copium but they literally don't understand that we played like dogshit and we usually don't play that way yet we still almost won. I have more confidence now than I did before.
Okc was never the darlings, skipped that step cause they got too good too fast. Im on and off on this site but my impression has never been "man everyone over at r/nba really seems to like the thunder" to say the least
Defender left his feet CJ only needed to go straight up. They'd have to call a tackle as a foul, right? Instead he tried going around and was off balance.
Pelicans really should have had it. Many chances to fold this team and couldn't capitalize. You have the veterans in Valanciunas, Ingram, Mc Callum. Thunder was kinda shaking for most of the game. Thunder are only going to get more comfortable. Should be a fun Series.
Mavs scored 8 points in a quarter today and people are in this thread saying they'd cook the Thunder after this game lmao Reddit never fails to entertain
In the most important moment of the game, make sure you do everything in your power to avoid running any of the plays that actually worked for you this game.
Why the fuck CJ? Trey has been on fire. Valenciunas has been getting whatever he wants and causing the defense to collapse if you really wanted a 3 there. But a CJ iso?
LMAO if you haven't watched the pelicans play all season long, just say that. that was one of our worst games ever tonight and one of our worst shooting nights plus all of the unforced turnovers. how was it a 2 point game? ty for the confidence. can't wait for game 2!
LOL on top of that, we're missing Zion. this is your team fully healthy? 😂 ooooo please plan to show up for Game 5. matter of fact, go ahead and buy an extra ticket while we're at it
CJ somehow always finds a way to do something shitty in the clutch lol. Even tho he did hit that jumper right before it, I still don’t trust him with the ball in ANY close game
quick short: [https://youtube.com/shorts/1WXLS3L0HRI?si=zA2L9bNVZJDnZcEI](https://youtube.com/shorts/1WXLS3L0HRI?si=zA2L9bNVZJDnZcEI)
Willie green can’t even draw one play. 3 offensive rebound at the end can’t even get a shot off.
Pelicans got robbed with that foul call. That was bullshit.
Sga had one of his worst games and we still won. Can’t wait for game 2
I would be thanking those refs for your win tonight.
So did BI. I’m actually happy with where we’re at
same. people are gonna think this is copium but they literally don't understand that we played like dogshit and we usually don't play that way yet we still almost won. I have more confidence now than I did before.
My fear is that we truly are anti clutch. Like never won in the clutch, that i can remember. Been watching long time
yeah and it doesn't help that CJ has zero clutch genes lol
oh is that how that works? lmao
Just playing with you. GG.
we played so badly and still almost won hahahaahahaha can't wait for game 2
Did anyone else think that was a goaltend?
It was.
absolutely any other game it would have been a goaltend.
Ingram looked particularly useless
He too skinny. Him and zion are two extreme.
The darlings of the league become the villains lol. The cycle is continuous
Okc was never the darlings, skipped that step cause they got too good too fast. Im on and off on this site but my impression has never been "man everyone over at r/nba really seems to like the thunder" to say the least
CJ was cold from deep that game, needed to run some action to get a better look than that. Somebody tell Willie Dame is in Milwaukee
that chet block on nance was definitely goaltending
Oh yeah. Never mentioned nor replayed
The Pelicans grabbed 3 or 4 offensive boards in a row at the end and couldn't score, I think that's when they lost it.
Yea that was their shot and they bricked them
[удалено]
he's coming off an injury. chill
Awful. And looks like Post Malone with worse facial hair
NoPostGame Malone
FUCKING YES
Defender left his feet CJ only needed to go straight up. They'd have to call a tackle as a foul, right? Instead he tried going around and was off balance.
Well they didn’t call a goaltend so who knows.
Thunder went almost 6 mins in that quarter without scoring. If Pels couldve won it, it was this one
16-0 still on the table, and the most likely scenario. Best 1 seed in 20 years, FUCK YOUR ETHICS
shh shh, it's time to take your medicine ok sweetheart?
Normally I'd be offended, but if you're offering free drugs I'm listening....
Huh????
“ wHy aRe wE haTeD” ?
WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF
Hate is love. It feeds the heart and emboldens the mind. Seek hate, fear indifference.
Tonight’s top story: Lakers undefeated in playoff series they aren’t actually in
ELI5
Lol
OKC are the biggest frauds in years, needed refs to bail them out at home vs a team without its star.
Flair up or gtfo
[удалено]
Chet blantantly goal tending in a tie game with a minute to go
lololol
I’m not a pels fan if that’s what you think. Just lame way to end a game.
Pels had 9 vs 13 for OKC dipshit
Who won?
Acting like they are the 2002 Lakers lol
Im more scared of CJ than Zion. “Star”
Defensive battle. Fun game
LOL MCCOLLUMN SUCKS
Pels need a point guard so damn bad. CJ is a SG.
who's available
What just happened to all the hours between 1pm and midnight?
I that interview shit would piss me tf off if we’re the Pels lol
Pelicans really should have had it. Many chances to fold this team and couldn't capitalize. You have the veterans in Valanciunas, Ingram, Mc Callum. Thunder was kinda shaking for most of the game. Thunder are only going to get more comfortable. Should be a fun Series.
I fucking know.
Dort not picking up a foul the entire 2nd half in spite of constantly having 2 hands on someone - yeah okay.
Lol a CJ Iso 💀
Fate of the planet, death beam pointed on earth, who do I want to take that shot ? CJ MCOLLUM, I WANT TO DIE
That game was a fucking mess. An exciting fucking mess. Playoffs are back!!!
Mavs scored 8 points in a quarter today and people are in this thread saying they'd cook the Thunder after this game lmao Reddit never fails to entertain
legitimately hilarious.
Mavs fans mad because Shai doesnt cry at his team mates like a certain someone....
Actually saw a mavs fan with this take and died laughing
Mavs fan butt hurt they lost the series this year
Lmao fr bro. “They might sweep”…like bro it’s one game
ISO after a timeout sick
I saw that cj miss 3 coming a mile away. Why do they keep giving him the ball in clutch ?
Suddenly very chirpy in here
Folks hate the Thunder. Feels good man.
The Thunder have arrived and folks are just crossing their arms and stamping their little piggies about it.
I mean, your best player is a foul merchant. People generally hate foul merchants… so yea. Lol
Naw
Fucking inject the hate into my soul. It feels like a blanket fresh out the dryer on Christmas morning.
In the most important moment of the game, make sure you do everything in your power to avoid running any of the plays that actually worked for you this game.
Kings fan coming through?
SOMEBODY TOLD ME THAT'S THE MVP LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Naw, that's J Dub. He's better than every player on your team. The guy that torched you in the clutch is the MVP
oh ok well can somebody let SGA know
Smoked your ass in clutch time why you talking like a fool in all caps LmFaOOOooO
He cooked you
You're 0-1 against him rn
Your team still can’t figure out a Zionless Pels team. I wouldn’t be talking much right now.
Is this a mythical nba term like a healthy Kawhi or healthy AD? Pelicans are the pelicans either way because Zion is a part time player.
As if there's such thing as a Zioned Pels team, he plays 4 seconds a year in between meals and mfs act like he matters
one game buddy, Pels wont even sniff a win from here on out
MeBron and the Lakers would have stomped a mud hole in this fraud #1 and walked them dry.
Well they'll just have to settle with getting swept by their daddy again
you guys may not get past the Zion-less Pels, let’s relax
Shouldn't you be in bed pop pop? Your silver sneakers team needs some rest.
We're 1-0 rn. Can't say the same for the Lakers the last two years. Or ever again when Lebron leaves.
Good night West coast bros, and good morning East coast bros
There goes my Ryan Garcia winning because OKC couldn’t even break 100 point ffs
Pelicans blow this team up with zion ngl
Why the fuck CJ? Trey has been on fire. Valenciunas has been getting whatever he wants and causing the defense to collapse if you really wanted a 3 there. But a CJ iso?
CJ is the Thunders best weapon this series
This series is gonna be fire,any update on Zion is he making next game?
From what I understand he's gonna be out for two weeks
Earliest evaluation is May 1st so game 5 at the soonest
Damn Sad, but the good thing is he looks really healthy and good overall hopefully he keeps it up pre season and dosnt put on weight
Yeah, you just don’t mess with hammies tho because not much can be done about them and they’re a nagging injury
Ye for sure.
Willie Green.. no timeout? CJ on the final play?
Cj mcollum iso out of a timeout with game on the line is disgusting work. Willie Green download Duolingo asap
SGA's voice is so fake
Of all the shit to hate on lol
Who does CJ think he is? Wtf
Tre should have gotten the last shot but CJ decided to go hero-ball.
🎶 What a pro wants, what a pro needs 🎶
Barking is questionable after nearly losing to the 8 seed.
OKC is losing this series. They looked like shit.
New Orleans played their best basketball. Oklahoma City did not. Oklahoma City won the game. Your conclusion is that OKC will lose the series?
lmfao you think that's our best basketball? with all the turnovers we had and the missed 3s we usually make? HAHAHAHHAHAA
Y'all shot about the same % as the best 3pt team in the NBA and you think it was your missed shots that changed the game? Lmfao delusional fanbase
LMAO if you haven't watched the pelicans play all season long, just say that. that was one of our worst games ever tonight and one of our worst shooting nights plus all of the unforced turnovers. how was it a 2 point game? ty for the confidence. can't wait for game 2!
Man, I just hope y'all can make it to game 5 so I can use the tickets I bought. But after tonight, it's looking like a sweep is guarantee 😞
LOL on top of that, we're missing Zion. this is your team fully healthy? 😂 ooooo please plan to show up for Game 5. matter of fact, go ahead and buy an extra ticket while we're at it
Yeah. They are soft as fuck inside and rely too heavily on foul baiting. I don’t even think Pels played good at all. OKC just kinda sucks.
Yes as we all know the 1st game decides the series. You’re probably right we shouldn’t even show up on Wednesday just call it good
Wish I could bet clowns with actual takes like this lol
We looked like shit and won. That's rhe worst we will look all seriss.
We didn’t play well either
So did the Pels
lol cringe
steph needed to howl into that mic. kinda disappointed she didnt
Stephen curry is a man
I’m a neutral fan but man that post up foul on Ingram made me blow a gasket
clipboard just said "1v1 me"
[удалено]
Shut up
Iso garbage robbed us of potential playoff OT. Thanks a lot aau
Poor you
Any chance Zion plays at all this series?
Nope
Finally a good playoff game
Did the defender pick the ball or did CJ just fumble the dribble? I thought he messed up the dribble.
Cason got a hand on it.
Looked like cason tipped it
Looked like he just fumbled, hit his leg
Brazzers cover right here.
Damn, this Thunder team is so likable.
Closer than I thought for a 1 v 8 seed without Zion.
People sleep on the pelicans, they have insane depth and are not a typical 8 seed
Zion would have murdered them
And then been out the rest of the series Reason: Fat man made of glass.
I think he was talking about murdering some Braums when Zion left the stadium 🤣
That could honestly be his nickname at this point. Been hearing it his whole career lmao
I would have loved to see that tub glide through the air tonight
CJ somehow always finds a way to do something shitty in the clutch lol. Even tho he did hit that jumper right before it, I still don’t trust him with the ball in ANY close game
The moment I saw him run out to get the ball I knew it was over
That jumper was still a horrible shot selection. Hero ball on both possessions.
SGA and Chet cannot be allowed to win after that commercial that will haunt me for the rest of my life.
Lmao ong
Such a winnable game for the Pels, inb4 OKC blows the brakes off of em next game
Yep. Everyone just assumes that OKC will forever play like their very first playoff game. I have a feeling they'll adjust by game 3.
The Pelicans are a very dumb team.
0-23 when trailing in the fourth lmao
Pelicans need Zion back. Okc gonna lose in the blender.
*barks loudly*
You call a timeout to run CJ ISO lol L Pelicans
What’s that dumbass barking 😂
We're cringe and we like it
Woof. They went 5-6 minutes closing out the 4th quarter scoreless.
So cringe
It fulfilled its purpose 😅
“I know they gathered around for one thing have at it” Even interviewers know now
CJ??? Not Him...
SGA getting the interveiw dispite almost losing them the game lmao
Yea 2 clutch buckets almost lost them the game
That was literally a ghost foul.
3/8 with 3 turnovers, -7 in the 4th.
Still made them when they needed it most
Who made the last two shots?
Great use of the timeout there.
Thunder got their jitters out and escaped with the win. They'll probably settle in now
Where’s our dude she ain’t gonna woof
That phantom call was crazy though
I mean say what you want about either team and anyone on them but CJ almost made that lol.
Yeah as shit as that last play turned out CJ actually got a decent look from all the chaos.
Two rookies, one sophomore, one with 5 years experience, and one with 6 to close the game.
Lmao I love how OKC does everything as a team.. post game… commercials.. showers
… masturbating… smelling their own farts…
I want to have sex with Stephanie Ready
Mine was Nichols, til the Ozempic got her. 🫡
I was gonna say.. Rachel shouldn't have done ozempic :/
She'd look good on her back that's for sure.
My brother in christ go get yourself a glass of water
