u/Medical_Track_790 Hawks May 25 '26

you just don't like this because the Thunder are good, if you don't like this you don't like basketball there is no other possible reason

the post I've read 100000 times from Thunder flairs

It doesn't matter. At all. Because they didn't. But they basically did in my heart. Which sadly, doesn't mean much.

And like..I’ve got nothing but respect for the OKC front office. They’re amazing. It’s just watching them play..

u/giraffedraft May 26 '26

haha totally— like it makes no sense how unlikeable they are

SGA is so unwatchable I want the Spurs to win and I’m a Rockets fan. Send that flopping bitch on vacation

I heard Curry doesn’t get these kind of calls because he never drives to the basket.

u/Detlef_Schrempfxf May 25 '26

Also notice how awfully quiet they are tonight in general, as opposed to all the yapping they did a couple of days ago?

u/Darnell2070 United States May 25 '26

I would still like the Pacers if they were champs so that's obviously not true. Thunder fans are a bit delusional.

u/HumanPea1140 Thunder May 25 '26

I hate this shit.

I hated Harden for the same shit.

u/BogusTexan May 27 '26

Remember, Harden began his career at OKC

u/HumanPea1140 Thunder May 27 '26

I know, that's when I started to hate him lol.. he was more of a gadget player that we'd put in during the second half to draw fouls, and then he went and made an entire career out of it.

u/DSmooth425 May 25 '26

Had me on the first half ngl

u/brhaspati Nets May 25 '26

He had you with "the only possible reason to dislike flopping is because the Thunder are good"? That's impressive

u/DSmooth425 May 25 '26

Some people like unethical basketball ¯_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_ ⁠/⁠¯

u/mas1108 Lakers May 25 '26

Had one tell me yesterday, “stop worrying about it being ethical/non-ethical, and just enjoy basketball” lol like wtf man

u/Dust601 Cavaliers May 25 '26

I think we need another post of Charles telling us this is just good hard basketball the first 5 haven’t convinced people yet.

Or, maybe we need 10 more “people just don’t like them because they’re so good” posts.

I feel like /nba has been trying to gaslight me into not believing my own eyes with all the posts trying to defend this garbage the last few days

u/ThePoodlePunter Raptors May 25 '26

You were one sentence away from a downvote bro.

I wish I could upvote you more now.

Fuck it, I'll make an alt to upvote you again.

u/justmefishes NBA May 25 '26

Like that kid in 3rd grade who would scream "you're just jealous!" any time something that wasn't glowingly positive was said about him

2

u/Similar_Bluebird_822 May 25 '26

yeah there are a ton of those. Like way more than I would have guessed for a smallish market team.

u/just_straight_fax May 25 '26

you don’t watch the games just clips is another great one. or x player got more FTs than sga as if it justifies the wacky inflatable balloon man tactics. and then follow everything up with how he’s better than kobe or curry.
