Even Thunder fans can see the bs
lol. Here come the excuses
OKC bites on the pump fake, hits LeBron as he goes up for the attempt, no free-throws!!

If the Thunder didn't flop , the Lakers would have lost by only 15 .
The Lakers are the first team in NBA history to lead at the half in back-to-back playoff games but lose both by a combined 40+ points.

Really sucks we couldn't play them with our full team. Even then, doubt we win this series. Just crazy how deep they are.

Gonna be a really interesting off-season.
The rumored teams for LeBron is either going back to Cavs, Warriors, and us. Issue with Warriors/Cavs, they can't give him anything more than MLE contract. If he's looking for money, he can have a spot on a team like ATL lol, which I doubt.
If I'm the FO, I offer the same thing for him, there's no reason we should give him another 50+ mil when he won't be able to get that from Warriors or Cavs. As much as I wanna keep him, we gotta look towards the future.
Reaves most likely we keep, he won't command more than 40mil. He's already said as well he's willing to resign and give a discount.
Smart and Luke should be back, the big question mark will be Rui, as he's probably going to get some good offers.
Then free agency should be great for us. Dort or Hartenstein will be a FA, they can't sign both. So we will definitely be in contention for one of those guys. Also some solid RFA as well.
New ownership definitely gonna spent as much as they are allowed.
