Man… they’ve never been in the playoffs before, they’re playing the scorching hot NBA Champs, they blow the late 4th quarter lead and they STILL win on the road WITHOUT their starting PG.

My lord.

Wemby's block on the tip dunk by Jalen Williams was remarkable and the camera work to get the shot they showed us on replay that camera person deserves a raise.

He only had 3 blocks tonight but he probably made a dozen shots either miss or the guy turn down the shot.

Sick to my stomach. From the opening tip I felt like there was no way we would win that game.

But If we can rise up and win game two, I think we have a chance in the series.

I would isolate him on the low block every single possession. Just throw the ball up and let him go get it.

I don’t know how any OKC fan could have both believed they had no shot from opening tip when you also have “arguably the greatest player of all time”, are at home, have the deepest team in the league and are playing a first time playoff team without their starting PG.

Not a smoker, but I felt like having a cigarette after that game. For as bad as the playoffs have been so far, this game is a reminder of what a beautiful thing it is when the best are going at it.

Wemby is the truth - we witnessed a coronation last night. I'm sure I'll get sick of him dominating the league soon, but seeing him smack around the Thunder was extremely cathartic.

He's definitely the real deal. But I still have a hard time believing he's going to hold up long term. There's just too much history that says it's unlikely.

The Cavs just choked away a massive lead.

Blows my mind that Landey Shamet is a key role player on a title contender.

If Dork is diving into Wemby he should be thrown out of the league. Can't ruin a young man's future like that. He's the next face of the league. I fracking hate dirty players.
