NBA fans showed excitement as the tightly-contested series is set to go down to a Game 7 in Oklahoma City.
@malcxlmflex: This series is so fascinating. i just saw the spurs blow out OKC and I feel like it means absolutely nothing going into game 7
@az_obi: Wemby is quite literally refusing to let this season end on his home floor. 💀👽 The defense, the transition blocks, the momentum-shifting buckets… he is single-handedly forcing a Game 7. Absolute cinema in San Antonio right now. 🍿
@ItsMeRhei75XD: I HOPE IN GAME 7 WOULD BE AS CINEMATIC AS IT WAS TO FINALLY PUT THE SPURS INTO THE FINALS INSTEAD OF OKC 😭💢🔥💯
@PlaycallVincent: This very well may just come down the fact that game 7 is OKC. Either way it’s been fun but irritating series for the Spurs, Thunder, Fans and Discussions. I’ll be glad when it’s over and I’ll give the Thunder their respect either way. Insane team
Other fans believed it was only fitting for this series to have a Game 7, considering the magnitude of the two teams.
@chris155223: It’s only right this series goes to Game 7 idc if we’ve gotten back and forth blowouts both teams are gonna give it their all and give us a classic Game 7 I can’t wait
@LeeJohn_BNS: I hope Spurs and Thunder both come ready for Game 7. None of this blow out shit.
@nelliextine: Would love a Game 7 Classic, maybe another OT like Game 1. But my heart is telling me it’ll be a blow out.
@CoopsBurner_: Whichever team wins game 7, I’ll switch my pfp to a random player on their roster for a month
