Social media reaction to OKC, reaching the NBA finals: “Foreignly accepting Shai’s greatness”
The Thunder will be in the NBA Finals for the first time since 2012, as they smashed the Timberwolves 124-94 in Game 5. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Lead OKC with 34 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, and Chet Holmgren Added 22 points and 7 rebounds.
Minnesota had 21 turnovers, allowing OKC to shoot 52.3% from the field, making it competitive to keep the game. Julius Randle Score 24 points, Anthony Edwards Added 19.
Here is NBA Twitter’s reaction to the Thunder victory:
OKC is something purists claim to like. Strong defense. MVP shoots the middle and drives to the hoop. However, it seems that those people say no one will watch them in the finals.

OKC gives examples that people who actually didn’t watch the NBA made mistakes in the NBA.
No one plays defense. Really? Go and see the thunder.
It’s all about three points. Really? Go and see the thunder.
Everyone plays exactly the same way. Really? Go and see the thunder.

Alex Caruso locked these playoffs. Ja Morant, Jokic, Jamal Murray, Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle

Oklahoma City reached the finals with the second best spread in NBA history (regular season + playoffs).
1996 Bulls: +11.94
2017 Warriors: +11.96
2025 Thunder: +12.55
1971 Bucks: +12.58They were four wins from entering the Goats dialogue.

I wish someone knew about this, but ESPN just confirmed it. The Thunder are the youngest team to reach the finals since the 77 Trail Blazers. I know that since the merger, the 77 Trail Blazers are the youngest teams to win the championship.
Amazing. What a running. It’s not over yet, but respect what the Thunder have done so far.

It’s very easy to make OKC the biggest combination of today’s talent, future assets and economic flexibility, which we’ve seen in a sport with a salary cap. If there is still a possibility of a true dynasty run in the NBA, it will be the Thunder that stands out.

OKC is getting better and better
This is a terrible idea
