tonight OKC flexed. Less SGA bs than game 1, but their big 3 played terrific i thought. meanwhile Julius laid an absolute turd so yea. First 2 games are eerily similar. closeish first halves, OKC kinda gets some cheap points right before halftime then they go on some 6-0, 8-0, 10-2 run out of the gates. i wasn't feeling great giving up 5 pts(SGA 3 pter, dort draws offensive foul then OKC scores again) in 30 seconds to go from down 3 to down 8.
Mike Conleys our best player.

man that jump shot going off the back iron, had to have gone 8-10 feet in the air and to drop straight down like that. a its pinnacle it was near the top of the shot clock
you could try for that exact shot 1000 times and you might get it once
I havent seen anything with this much disrespect since Shaq pushed Chris Dudley to the floor after dunking over him

Knicks just had to run out the clock about 3 times and take 24 sec violations but they rushed about 3 possessions and gave Indy at least 30 extra seconds
Has a single thunder fan once said “ yea this flopping is a joke”? Like yea, wolves sucked from 3 last night and shot 20 more than my liking. Regardless of flops we likely lose. OKCs half court didn’t exactly hurt us either but it changes the outlook when Jaden Mcdaniels goes out with 4 fouls that weren’t fouls. We will adjust and hopefully not take as many tomorrow. I can see it as a frustration thing. Ant/mike hit 2 3s to extend lead to 4 in third qtr. OKC calls time and erases it, builds their own 4 pt lead. SGA flops and we challenge/win. They award OKC possession even tho the flop was an obvious travel before he hit the deck and slid a few feet. OKC scores and it’s a 6 pt lead. Wolves frustrated with the whistle cast early 3s and OKC feasts with some more BS Shai and 1s. Like holy shit the fact that some of you have no shame about it bEcAuSe FrEe ThRoWs aNd FoUlS wErE sImIlAr.
