Shout out to OKC fans for not being too cool to wear their playoff shirts

[@rafeeqwarfield9690]

Facts!

facts!

[@EvanSs21]

Right, you can really tell how passionate the people of OKC really are about their team.

[@airkuna]

"Too cool"??🤔it's cool to wear them..

[@Derpfriar]

This is a 7 game series. Very evenly matched and very competative. Great game.

[@00cd9]

Listen the pelicans should of stole game 1, to mess with the psychie of OKC being the #1 SEED, don't let OKC win game 2, this could be a sweep or 5 games.

[@MrE_]

@@00cd9 I could see that. The pels are pretty inconsistent, especially when there's no zion

HUGE! nance gets either of those buckets and it's a different game

[@zudoteku1069]

Nance was indecisive and it hurt.

Every home team won game 1 but I must admit OKC looked the least convincing

[@t-god2439]

I really want the pels to win this series sick of BI being underrated

[@TheIcemanthomas]

@@t-god2439he is rated properly

[@t-god2439]

@@TheIcemanthomas Imo no other player in the nba has had to deal with the bs that is known as Zion. And still BI got most improved and made the all star team. BI has literally kept the pelicans a float while Zion has kept them in limbo. I’d argue that if BI was on the Celtics with brown and Tatum was in NO. Tatum would be in the same situation

Ingram was playing like trash this game. OKC being 1 seed and struggling against pelicans without Zion is trouble . If Zion returns he'll eat Chet .

I agree

[@yunopepper76]

Zion ain’t turning up lol bro. OKC have got the first playoff game monkey off their back. Expect them to be better in game 2

I'm a new basketball fan and only started watching about 4 months ago. These playoff games are way more higher energy and exiting than the regular season I've been watching.

welcome to the family!

[@user-fx1mm2mj8t]

From Australia and I'm a OKC fan was such a good game

[@Kali-Ikigai]

CJ should’ve passed it to Trey on that last possession. The Pels are really missing Zion

[@samueldarnell1013]

I was about to type this he coulda passed it

[@marcoc.8327]

The last possession given to nance... imbarazzante

[@mireiyokoyama1983]

OKC almost became the first home team to lose in the playoffs

[@CubaSmileSauce]

Almost.

[@Ill.righteous31]

Many teams have almost lost but they didn't

Wtf did they lose though?

[@muttyvisuals577]

Key word almost

[@user-yakisoban]

If Zion had played, the NOP would have won.

[@EmmanuelKani]

You don't know about. If you've played basketball, you know that having your best player on the field isn't synonymous of a win as the other team will adjust the game plan on offense and defense.

[@CubaSmileSauce]

If you had basketball IQ you would know you're wrong.

Will zion come back?

it's getting real crazy here. this is the real playoffs game sheeeeesh🔥

The only person who correctly predicted the outcome of this event is Awakenbeerus

[@williestyle35]

Man, these promotion comments for the betting prodictor's is getting outta hand...

Man! Great game this is going to be a good series. SGA is my guy!

[@dawingonzalez4906]

Buen partido para Alexander

[@user-tj3sl8fr5p]

I would love to see this new Thunder team go up against the Clippers and the old Thunder of Harden and Westbrook

[@TheJudgementofDog]

As a Thunder fan this game was fantastic. We need more like this, maybe with a little higher shooting percentages. Keep it close though. I love down to the wire games.

[@vernoncolbert8274]

The Whole Team is 🔥 on the court . THUNDER UP .

[@clemchammer8816]

Playing 47.5 min just to fuck up the last shot 😂 it even was a two point lead. Smh

[@mattmaccaronio5990]

Holmgren and shai are no joke

[@bernardomenasche419]

Chet and shai are something else🔥

[@Abegoldhatch]

Congratulation to Thunder fans, they deserved this win. The game was so close and Pelicans had a great chance to win it. They can repeat the miracle which happened last year with Heat, I mean they can win the series against Thunder.

[@SpeedHomeAttack]

Pelicans called a timeout, just for CJ to run iso and throw up the worst shot known to mankind. That was their plan?

[@penkima4923]

CJ tried to drive, but the ball was swiped. CJ scored several buckets from iso plays in the 4th. And the OKC played the same plays for Shai. And the shot CJ ended up taking wasn't that bad.

[@LucaMazilescu-nr1jx]

Thank you, Awakenbeerus; this is the same outcome as you described in your live. THANK YOU 10,000 TIMES.

[@DrewBurgher]

Chet’s defense is top tier

Wide open series !!! Okc r a regular season and inexperienced team . Any reault wouldn't surprise me in that series ..

[@SpiderGang56]

It’s so cool to see the stadium whites out for support for their team

[@stun2187]

OKC wouldn’t have a chance with Zion on the floor. Not sure how they won so many games this year honestly

[@IngridGiese]

I did not understand why there was so much hype around Awakenbeerus predictions, but now I understand. He was right about this game. God bless him and thank him for the money.

[@williestyle35]

Man these promotion comments for ...beerus predictions are officially outta hand...

[@hxgoogg8665]

OKC still young to be good in the playoffs

[@NathaliePetersen-ik8ll]

Whatever I was thinking before, I was wrong. Awakenbeerus gave a free prediction of the correct score, and he was right. I should have put my money on it. Now he is charging 10k USD for the next match.

[@bida123]

based on what the Pelicans played away from home, it wouldn't surprise me if they eliminated OKC

terrible last posession... okc got very lucky to get the W

[@denisl9946]

clutch time block from Chet!!!

ingram must take the last shot

[@kevincollie3802]

Giddey 19 minutes Leave the ship

[@graceporquez4831]

Pelicans good match for OKC

[@machinarum]

CJ had a chance to do what reggie miller always did in that last possession. CJ got Wallace on the air and Wallace trying to avoid not hitting him with the body. It was easy to get a foul there jumping toward Wallace but he went under Wallace for a difficult shot. I think CJ would have gotten the call but nobody knows with these refs.

[@YoungIllyMusic1]

Ohh how I wish Zion was here 😢

[@BrilexLaAuthority]

GREAT GAME

[@Redsport00]

Pelicans need Zion back asap 🤧

[@BryanBGG]

Defense won us the game today. Offence gotta step up to win the series. Thunder up

[@malxvz1]

most intense game yet

[@leonardallen5522]

This series will be decided by CJ. X factor with Zion out. Need to average minimum 25 and 8-10 assists with much more efficient scoring. At least 3 assists were eaten up by blocks, and he can't be taking that many threes when the shot is off. Cj my man, reach into your playoffs Blazers Nuggets mid range bag and show OKC what you can do when the big guns are off.

[@marko6947]

This is why play-in concept is trash. Zion got injured in a meaningless game vs Lakers. Now he can't play.

[@euclidnaboye5662]

Holgrem does not play like a rookie

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Good win for the Thunder.

[@SEVERINNGOM-ok9qg]

I want this young team to go further but with this struggle against NOP without zion isn't looking good

[@gregyance9901]

1:00 this has to be one of the worst defense of all time from OKC and yet number 5 failed to score , today's NBA for you guys

[@user-tt6wj4bh9d]

you tha goat

[@Hunyelo]

This game shows that the Lakers should've just settled for the eight seed instead of the seventh.

[@alsuu.]

yep

[@MokonziDks]

Easier said then done it’s no guarantee they would’ve beat the kings

[@kiwavy]

They would have to face Denver regardless...

[@tonilisica7666]

How much better this game looks when you re allowed to play defence and not every contact or look is foul...they just have to allow 3 second under the rim in defence and it would be even better with great blocks and great dunks like it used to be...

[@joachimbucherer5030]

Mccolum almost hit that 3 at the end

[@laurentnoo6364]

tall guys of both teams are all at 3 pt line. I don't think either team will manage to go final

[@Lucky13777]

I don't understand modern game sometimes. You are down 2, you have plenty of time... Yet, you are still locked with idea of scoring 3. The what?

[@KevinRegala-mp5jd]

He badly wants the game winner which caused them the game. Your idea was much better just shoot 2s

[@osaze789]

on the road the road team typically goes for the win in that scenario. not saying its the smartest idea but its typically what they do

The CIA is looking for Awakenbeerus because he leaked the exact score of this event.

[@WLW.]

very close

[@xiangjingwang6991]

Pelicans controlled rebounds but cannot convert in the paint. That's why they need a guy like Zion to attack
