One possession, two pain points, and the internet had a field day. NBA Fans quickly turned Anthony Davis’ third-quarter moment against Oklahoma City into the joke of the night after a defensive stand that somehow ended with him hurt… twice.
The clip making the rounds showed Davis battling Chet Holmgren near the rim. Davis altered shots, poked the ball away, and kept recovering just enough to stay involved. Then, after one last scramble, he went down holding his left knee. That was enough for NBA Fans to do what they do best: react instantly and loudly.
@BronGotIt summed it up perfectly: “AD are we being for real bro.”

The post came with a clip of Davis contesting Holmgren multiple times, only for the ball to keep ending up back in the same place, before Davis finally hit the floor.
Another fan, @PlayoffLucro, joked, “Nico saved my life bro how u hurt twice in 1 possession [crying emoji].”
That line alone made the moment travel fast across timelines.
@edw000rd took a more detailed view of the chaos: “This is the most Anthony Davis play ever [crying emoji] lock down defense but gets hurt 2 different times in one possession lmao.”
That tweet captured why NBA Fans were laughing and groaning at the same time.
Davis has built a reputation as a high-effort defender whose body sometimes pays the price. This moment wasn’t just about a missed stop or a bad bounce. It isn’t just the injury that made it viral. It was the irony of elite effort meeting unlucky timing in front of millions of viewers.
For NBA Fans, it was another reminder that Anthony Davis’ nights rarely come in calm, predictable packages.
NBA Fans Pile On As Dallas Gets Blown Out And Frustration Boils Over
As if the Anthony Davis clip wasn’t enough fuel, NBA Fans found more to talk about once the final score went up in Dallas’ loss to Oklahoma City.
The official Mavericks account, @dallasmavs, posted a blunt update: “Final.” The image showed a rough 111–132 defeat, and the replies quickly turned into a venting zone for unhappy supporters.
One reply that gained traction came from @Alejandro_t9, who wrote, “Really traded Luka for that bum AD.” The comment was paired with a B/R image of Nico Harrison and his quote, “I think I’ve done a really good job here.”
NBA Fans immediately latched onto the contrast between the confidence in the front office and the result on the court.
Another fan, @bufnyy161st, zoomed out and looked ahead: “Keep stacking L’s. This draft is extremely vital for our future.”
That sentiment reflected a growing section of NBA Fans who believe the season’s value now sits in what comes next, not what’s happening right now.
Blowout losses happen. So do bad nights. What pushed this one over the edge was the timing. The loss landed on the same night social media was already buzzing over Davis’ injury scare, giving NBA Fans even more reason to connect the dots and pile on.
For many NBA Fans, this wasn’t about one game. It was about direction, confidence, and watching frustration spill out in real time across timelines. The scoreboard told the story, but the replies told you how people really felt.
