2026 NBA Season

[OgNasty]

Spurs completely tore Thunder apart in the 3rd quarter. If Fox hadn't started the game so bad, the gap probably would've been there by half time already. Just like I said before the game, Spurs forced Thunder into bad shots and got rewarded for it. We're going to Game 7.

Referees are awful though. I hope they don't make major mistakes that could affect the outcome in Game 7.

I hope we see more of that in game 7. Wemby seemed a little bit hostile in his interview immediately after the game. I like that he is turning into a villain. I wouldn’t be surprised if the league fines him this time to get their point across. Great game for him, but he can do better than 10-21 from the field.

I don't think that he will turn into a villain, we as fans are frustrated on the calls by the referee, and Wemby is just expressing himself. Sure the league can fine him to sent the message, but I guess he also want to be verbal and call a spade a spade.

And as expected, they force a game 7, but it's going to be very hard to see as this is still anybody's game.

But I guess I will go with the underdog Spurs.

The referees have been awful ever since especially in Game 5 where there are too many missed calls. Unfortunately, Adam Silver addressed these missed calls and he really said positive things from the way they're coaching? Like is he that aware of what's happening in the league right now? He's the worst if you will ask me.

Anyway, it's a must win for the Spurs so they jumped up from the start of the 1st quarter, ending it with having a 13-point lead and ever since, they didn't look back. Majority of the starters only played less than 30 minutes which is a good thing because for sure Game 7 will be the "best" one that we will ever see, and I hope that the referees don't ruin that game like what you said.

Let's not forget that the one who wins the Game 5 wins the series 82% of the time, and although I'm not saying that the Spurs are completely out already, the odds are favoring against them. I'll put a bet on the Spurs winning in Game 7 because I don't want to watch the Thunder playing in the NBA Finals especially with how they're playing.

And if we look at the wins of Spurs, it was always their defense that stood out on that 3 games. Not just forcing them bad shots, but we have seen them protecting the rim, just just Wemby.

Referees are awful though. I hope they don't make major mistakes that could affect the outcome in Game 7.

It's beyond our control now, referees do make a lot of mistakes, but hopefully they are still going to be fair and call fouls. Not those that we have seen with the Thunder, flopping specially SGA. We all wanted to see a game that the players decided the game, not the referees.

I think the only way the spurs will be able to win this series is to open a a big lead in the third quarter, refs can make calls in the 1st few quarters but if they make a big gap for the thunder to chase no matter what the refs do it wont matter, because they can just use the time.

[Velvet78]

Spurs aren't giving up which is really nice to see! They increased the dosage of challenges with their opponents which is another good thing. Because I was really fed up with Thunder's doing the same and not being punished by the referees many times.  

SGA was like a joke last night. When he doesn't get enough free throws, he just messes up... Game 7 is at Thunder though. I just wish Spurs to win the series. I see the winner of this series as the champions after NBA finals as well.

[meser#]

The Western Conference Finals champion will be decided in Game 7.
I thought that since OKC won Game 5, they would also win Game 6, but the Spurs didn't allow that.
Wemby was as effective this time as he was in the first game.
Wemby and his teammates need to perform very well in the game in Oklahoma as well.

I'm stating my gut feeling right now. The Spurs won the first game, and they will win the last game to become New York's opponent in the NBA Finals.

[wiss19]

People who bet on Knicks to be the champions must be dreaming. You are joking, there is no way that Knicks will be champions. There is a huge chance that OKC will be at the finals by beating Spurs, and by the looks of it they need just one more win that is it, and could get it next game.

But even if we assume that Spurs pull a miracle and end up winning the next two games in a row and go to finals, it doesn't matter both teams are good enough to destroy the Knicks and we are going to see them win the title. Knicks got as far as they could and that's it, there is nothing that we could see at this point which will be any different. Spurs or OKC, whoever ends up at the finals they are going to win the title for sure.

To early to tell and OKC didn't even win yet, they got defeated on game 6 so its hard to assume that automatically they can take the game 7 against Spurs.

We will provably see more intense match on game 7 and Spurs still have solid shot to take the game 7 on OKC.

But also finals vibes is different and Knicks is well rested and complete going on finals. So we cannot really say that they don't have chance to win against OKC. Maybe people are looking on past losses on regular season, but I think that one does not have any count, since situation in finals is different. I believe Knicks have great chance to defeat OKC if they meet up on finals.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

Are there any betting line on how many times that SGA will flop?

Lol, that will be hilarious if some online gambling platform will put that on their list. I count like he made 3 flops but that could be more.

Regarding the game, Spurs put a defensive clinic in this game and it's good that the referee didn't make any whistle every time that SGA will flop or any of the Thunder. So forcing a game 7. This is going to be a litmus test for the young Spurs and hopefully they pull a upset.

I agree to that, past games are over and for sure NYK already adjust as they are now waiting for their opponents for the NBA finals, though we can't remove the fact that West finalist have a decent edge whoever will win in game 7, NYK needs to keep that solid performances if they want to win a title, in terms of players both core and role players we witness how NYK managed to maximize the use of their squad, hopefully they'll able to counter whatever the system that the west finalist will bring on their title matchup.

That would be fun. Prediction markets should do that, or maybe about how many free throws SGA will take. Anyway, I’m also rooting for the Spurs. I’m tired of watching all the flopping the Thunder are doing, especially SGA, along with those biased calls. Anyway, I expect this to be a tough one for the Spurs because it’s at OKC’s home court again. We’ll probably see more flopping, questionable calls, and missed calls. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Spurs players’ emotions start to rise. This Game 7 is going to be on fire, definitely a must watch.

Sometimes we think the refs are favoring the home team, but maybe it is just the pressure of the crowd affecting the game. If OKC wins, I still see it as a very close game.

Again with the conspiracy theory, we always think of that when we are making excuses because we cannot accept that our team lost. Let’s just not discuss that and assume the game is played fair and square, since we are not all rooting for one team here, some are on Spurs and some are on OKC.

Since this will likely go to Game 7, then obviously if I would place my bet, I would go for the Spurs in Game 6 and I would bet early before the line moves.

It is not about "our team losing", it is about the fact that people from literally all around the world, can see the videos, where players from OKC just fall whenever there are players near them, and they play dirty defense.

This is not something that we make excuses out of, you can just watch the highlights, you can see it, and not only that, but you could actually end up checking the stats.

SGA is by far the player with the most falls after shots he falls down 1 out of 5 times he shoots, basically 20% of the time he shoots, he ends up on the floor laying. Does that make sense to you?

SGA is the worst MVP the league has ever seen… I really hope they continue to take action against floppers and maybe stop letting SGA bait for fouls every time he touches the ball. That isn’t basketball. I really hope San Antonio puts an end to OKC’s postseason success.

I think there is nothing we can do about this situation it seems that the league officials and Referees are loving what is going on with the league, like the commissioner who address the situation see nothing wrong with the call, and like tolerating the flopping of SGA, even if we say we are going to boycott the league i don't think silver will do something, he even said that AI will be the one to recognize or call if its a flop or not, but the AI will be feed with information coming from them so they can easily tell the AI if SGA falls its a foul right? so there is no sense on that saying AI will be responsible for the review.

[Stavri]

SGA was like a joke last night. When he doesn't get enough free throws, he just messes up...

yeah. honestly NBA has gotten incredibly soft lately and they whistle the softest fouls for superstars in particular. i’m especially sick of SGA's foul baiting and that alone is enough to make me mad about him being in the MVP conversation...

[bhadz]

Wemby just showed up to the arena in a monk outfit. The Spurs are winning tonight. Game 7 on the way…

I’ll be watching. Going to run out and grab some dinner and then set myself in front of the TV expecting to see greatness. I don’t want to be disappointed.

I am watching right now and you're right that the Spurs might win tonight. First half is about to end in 5 minutes. 41-51 score led by the Spurs. My bet is safe and it's not about the winner of this game 6 but just for both to them to score at least 100 or above.

The Spurs are looking good so far. Wemby is a man on a mission leading all scorers as the Spurs have a lead going into the half. De’Aaron Fox needs to figure something out, but if he can get it together I think we’ll be seeing a game 7, which is what I want.

You're right about the Spurs taking the game 6 and game 7 is on its way. I guess that things will be figured out by this tandem on game 7 and they have to utilized all of their roles for them to bring the Spurs into the finals. First time to see Wemby this great and expectation of all for him has been met. He's truly an alien and the world is waiting to see him get into the finals. But OKC's strong and let's see who will take game 7.

[jakdanyel]

Tomorrow night is going to be insane as it seems...    First the CL finale in football and only a few hours after that finishes there is Game 7 of the Spurs - Thunder series!

I'm really glad that Spurs didn't lose last night. This series deserves the 7th game if you ask me. Spurs are fighting hard even though they aren't favoured to win the series.

I hope Wemby and his friends do the unexpected. But I have a feeling like Thunder will win...

[yenerbatmaz]

When Wembanyama starts a game well, the Spurs are very effective. Today, they started with two three-pointers.
San Antonio beat Oklahoma with a good performance. Home court advantage is still with Oklahoma, and the best team in the West will be determined on Saturday. Oklahoma will win the game at home and become the opponent of the New York Knicks.
SGA played very poorly tonight.
If they play similarly on Saturday, Oklahoma could lose the game.

I too am glad that we get a Saturday night NBA event. Not sure how many more of these opportunities we will get this year, if any. It seems like the court of public approval has turned on SGA and his free throw antics. I think we see the end of him being a dominant player tomorrow night.
