2025 NBA Cup Semifinals Game Thread, Sat Dec. 13

[Duffy Pratt]

OKC has now played exactly three games against legit competition (and I’m being generous to the Lakers). They are 2-1. After that, they have had an extremely weak schedule. They are an amazingly deep team, but still probably overhyped.

In last night’s game, the biggest impact was obviously Wemby. The Spurs were night and day depending on whether he was playing. By comparison, SGA had basically no impact, certainly less than Holgrem or Caruso.

If all goes well, the spurs might be the team who'd spoil okc's chances of defending their ring in the following playoffs.

it's the dumbest fukking thing I have ever seen.

Houston should had beat OKC on opening night.
