Supercyclone20 | Thunder

Is SGA good?

Financial-Park-7616

284 | 4 days ago

My only complaint about him is he is great quarters 1-3 and then just disappears in the 4th quarter

throwingthisaway733 | Thunder

79 | 4 days ago

First 3 quarters merchant

Less-Tax5637 | Supersonics

33 | 4 days ago

NFL ready, always gets that quarter back

Friend72 | Celtics

12 | 4 days ago

I never let SGA’s regular season rotational minutes borrow a dollar….

revisioncloud | Thunder

9 | 3 days ago

Man took two 2OT to start the season and decided he’s done putting in the hours at work

Is this what the Gen Z calls quiet quitting??

Yamaha-FZ1

7 | 3 days ago

If you ask sga for change a dollar he will only have 3 quarters

IMovedYourCheese | Warriors

44 | 4 days ago

Nah, distant 5th behind Jokic, Wemby, Giannis and Luka according to this sub.

VersionCool588 | Thunder

25 | 4 days ago

Throw in a couple more names he wouldn’t be shit without a FT

philleferg | Thunder

11 | 3 days ago

I also don’t see any “Luka is a FT Merchant!” since he is averaging a record number of FTA. Hell, there is a thread with people actually saying it is different. This sub is stupid. Either that or racist, but I’m trying to give the benefit of the doubt.

imsnagglepusseven | Cavaliers

0 | 3 days ago

I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt also. As Adam Silver’s ideal fan, I haven’t watched a complete game all year and not even many highlights (so maybe I’m not ideal..), but get all of my NBA info from Reddit. And I somewhat feel like SGA is a free throw merchant. I do sense the commentary and posts tide is turning and think Luca will top him here in the next couple of weeks. I think Luca is getting more of a free pass because there’s already been a lot of Lakers get more free throws posts, so he is more boring for now because of that. But definitely Luca will be seen as worse than SGA in the next month. For clarification, I am not (or at least don’t believe I am) a racist.

XxKittenMittonsXx | Thunder

5 | 3 days ago

I saw someone call him Tatum with a great whistle

NotManyBuses | Charlotte Bobcats

10 | 4 days ago

He was guarded by Antonio Reeves, KJ Simpson, and Tre Mann tonight and somehow got through that murderer’s row. I have no choice but yes

bootywizard42O | NBA

10 | 4 days ago

No he shoots Free Throws

Warlock2111 | Lakers

Vitex1988 | Thunder

Hornets have a higher quality loss than the Warriors and Lakers

OUEngineer17 | Nuggets

40 | 4 days ago

They were the ones on a B2B for this one too.

VersionCool588 | Thunder

44 | 4 days ago

to be fair they had to play us at home and you can count on like 2 fingers teams that would give us trouble there 😂

Vitex1988 | Thunder

33 | 4 days ago

Still, the Hornets have a transitive win over both of them lmao

VersionCool588 | Thunder

4 | 4 days ago

if we’d played the Warriors or Lakers at their home court I doubt we’d have blown them out by the half, good thing the season just started because we’ll get to see how we fair when we do play em

Sarollas | Thunder

18 | 4 days ago

Thunder still have the best quality loss.

They lost to the Blazers, who beat the Thunder.

Voxityy | Hornets

2 | 3 days ago

i’ll take it

cootscoot | Thunder

151 | 4 days ago

That has to be the shortest game all year. The second half was pretty much a running clock. “Start time” of 7:00, ended at 9:08.

NastyPlays | OKC

82 | 4 days ago

Only 17 total free throws, that’ll do it

TheWumboligist | Knicks

45 | 4 days ago

Let me guess, all by SGA? /s

lethalizered | Thunder

37 | 4 days ago

17 total free throws will do that to you.

I think there were a lot of fouls missed on both sides, but at least the refs were actually consistent in letting them play, so I’m cool with it.

E_boiii | Thunder

39 | 4 days ago

When near the rim one of the players from the hornets yelled “mayne they ain’t callin shit” 😂

topofthecc | Thunder

15 | 4 days ago

Refs didn’t want to be there a minute longer than they had to be. I respect it.

Wolf_ZBB_2005 | Thunder

35 | 4 days ago

Less than two hours from tip to final buzzer. They were letting them fellas play.

small-with-benefits | Thunder

20 | 4 days ago

Hornets were playing hard too. Disciplined I guess.

TitaniumC4206 | Thunder

I just need the bears to win tomorrow.

Parallel-Quality

124 | 4 days ago

The Thunder are #1 in the NBA in man games lost (80). They’re tied with the Pacers for that honor.

The Thunder are 13-1.

throwingthisaway733 | Thunder

35 | 4 days ago

Idk man. Still not sure if good or not

here_for_the_lols | Thunder

14 | 3 days ago

When we actually play a decent team this house of cards will come tumbling down

LimitlessTheTVShow | Thunder

1 | 3 days ago

Regular season merchants, Blazers about to sweep us come playoff time

Depressedidiotlol | Warriors

18 | 4 days ago

Man games lost? Genuinely what is this stat I assume it’s impressive but what is this lol

The1Drumheller | Thunder

49 | 4 days ago

If one player misses one game, that would be one man game missed. If two players miss the same one game, that is two man games missed. 80 man games missed out of 14 possible games means we have been averaging nearly 6 players out for injury per game.

Depressedidiotlol | Warriors

5 | 3 days ago

Ohh I see. That’s actually pretty cool

Turk1518 | Thunder

16 | 3 days ago

We’re similarly as injured as a team like the Pacers. Obviously our best player isn’t out for the year (knock on wood), but we have had multiple starters out for long stretches. Including all-star JDub who has yet to play a game.

BigJoshFamous | OKC

9 | 4 days ago

It’s the number of games where a player missed due to injury.

WoahBenny23 | Kings

7 | 4 days ago

how many players have missed games for them

Spemanz92 | Thunder

8 | 3 days ago

SGA, IHart, Ajay and Jaylin haven’t missed a game. Cason missed one.

Then Chet, Wiggins, Caruso, Joe and Dort all missed between 4 and 7 games. Jdub obviously out for all.

The rest of the injuries are Sorber and Topic who didn’t play a single minute and are out for the season. Who knows what roles they would have, but it figure they wouldn’t be very big (unless presti hit big on them)

Vitex1988 | Thunder

16 | 4 days ago

“Look at what we do for them all, just for them to mimic a mere fraction of our power”

Outside_Tear6538 | Raptors

15 | 4 days ago

Going for that 81-1 season.

jataba115 | OKC

43 | 4 days ago

Blazers fans would never ever let that win go

Life-Can3229 | Trail Blazers

24 | 3 days ago

That was our championship

geupard12 | OKC

7 | 3 days ago

there is no choice, I’m DMing coach diagonal to circle that game next week

jocro | Thunder

6 | 3 days ago

but honestly way funnier if we go 80-2 and only lose to Portland lol

GorillaX | Thunder

8 | 3 days ago

Yeah, but it’s probably just end of bench guys missing games. It’s not like it’s been JDub, Chet, Dort, Caruso, etc…. Wait.

Strange1130 | Thunder

3 | 3 days ago

Tbf I do assume it includes Sorber and Topic but still.

Last season we were the fourth most injured in terms of win impact (not just a man games basic sum)

Zungad | Supersonics

59 | 4 days ago

Another 4th not played by SGA, his shotmaking is ridiculous lol. I think he went 6-7 in that 3rd quarter to bury the Hornets.

Sauce4243 | Thunder

30 | 4 days ago

The hornets broadcast were continually saying that the ball hadn’t touched the rim all quarter

Zungad | Supersonics

21 | 4 days ago

I actually love the Hornets broadcast, they give flowers to both teams consistently.

ExpressionAlone5204 | Thunder

7 | 3 days ago

They’re the best in the league

Jaded-Sapphire3546 | Thunder

57 | 4 days ago

Bench once again tanking the team’s net rating in the fourth.

MixonWitDaWrongCrowd | Thunder

53 | 4 days ago

I drop 30. We win. I go home.

Ramikadyc | Thunder

heat_fan_ | Raptors

56 | 4 days ago

SGA just made it look easy

Great game from Chet too

myhellcatgotRepod | Hawks

52 | 4 days ago

Shai is doing this score 30 and sit the 4th shit with fewer free throws than last season. He might’ve solved the sport of basketball

Headlesshorsman02 | Thunder

26 | 4 days ago

And made a playmaking leap

LugNutsDort | Thunder

48 | 4 days ago

“No 4th Quarter Tonight.” - Shai Gilgeous Alexander

ImaLetItGo

42 | 4 days ago

Another 4th quarter sit for Shai too. Crazy stuff

rumblegod | Thunder

34 | 4 days ago

Ous will have to find himself being almost out of the league for to understand the opportunity that he has. He generally does not play hard at all, he’s probably only running at 60%.

AdComfortable4677 | Thunder

8 | 4 days ago

It’s the easy shots at the rim that seems to always miss.

BBallHunter | Thunder

3 | 3 days ago

Yeah, it doesn’t look good and we aren’t lacking in young replacements.

revisioncloud | Thunder

2 | 3 days ago

Roster spot, we’ll have like 3-4 first rounders this year alone so I’m not complaining

ExpressionAlone5204 | Thunder

3 | 3 days ago

He is honestly maybe the single most pathetic display of effort by any player ion recent memory. All of the gifts and none of the guts

vindictivejazz | Thunder

36 | 4 days ago

10:00 left in the 3rd - Tied at 57

1:00 left in the 3rd - Thunder lead 87-67

Just a casual 30-10 run over nine minutes

FormalDisastrous2467 | Thunder

36 | 4 days ago

3rd quarter Shai is a different type of player.

He comes out of the half and remembers how to shoot threes.

down4life56 | Thunder

23 | 4 days ago

I think he just knows he will be sitting the 4th and needs to make the most of his time.

FormalDisastrous2467 | Thunder

11 | 4 days ago

He said in a presser that its some combination of the defense loosening up, him warming up, and him intentionally being more assertive after seeing the coverage,

i_like_thingstoo

26 | 4 days ago

This was an sga mvp game, okc offence looked really trash with him off the court. When he was on the floor, okc scored at will

Zungad | Supersonics

7 | 3 days ago

That’s how it normally is, to be honest. Ajay Mitchell is really good and secure with the ball, but his ability to generate offense kind of suffers when SGA goes out. He’s the perfect complementary scorer alongside a player who grabs the attention of multiple defenders like SGA.

Mashyjang | Thunder

4 | 3 days ago

Need JDub back for this reason.

Zungad | Supersonics

2 | 3 days ago

Yeah, it makes the shit SGA does on offense so much more insane. Unfortunately, more people aren’t really seeing that.

crustydemonburgers | Thunder

22 | 4 days ago

68/80/75 shooting splits for a guard is just so crazy

Peugeot905 | Magic

18 | 4 days ago

SGA is just to good at basketball that is all.

freighttrain6969

19 | 4 days ago

Carlson and Barnhizer both had highlight reel blocks 👍

JakeBr0Chill | Thunder

7 | 3 days ago

That Carlson dunk was nasty. The announcer was shocked lol

ScionAurelius | Canada

15 | 4 days ago

Got Dort back and now Caruso is hurt. This team can’t catch a break

Iron_Maniac | Thunder

14 | 4 days ago

It was a close game at halftime. Shai didn’t need to play the 4th quarter again.

Wolf_ZBB_2005 | Thunder

13 | 4 days ago

We won by double digits playing, in my opinion, our worst game of the season. Oh, and Shai had 33 in three quarters again.

JohnRolkienTolkien | Thunder

10 | 4 days ago

I think we only really tried in the 3rd quarter.

Spiritual-Bar-5618

15 | 4 days ago

It happens quick. Thought the game was going the hornets way. 3rd quarter you blink and they up 10. Blink again and they up 20

Headlesshorsman02 | Thunder

6 | 4 days ago

We love the 3rd quarter/early 4th we put the game away and get to rest SGA the whole 4th

Spiritual-Bar-5618

6 | 4 days ago

It was kinda comical. It happens the moment it turned 3rd quarter like immediately

ExpressionAlone5204 | Thunder

1 | 3 days ago

It’s always like that. Like we’ll be down 20 on the 2nd and at this point we’re just like yeah this is pretty typical, just wait until after halftime

rumblegod | Thunder

13 | 4 days ago

Chet finding his spots more to get easy buckets

Zungad | Supersonics

5 | 4 days ago

I wish he’d hunt for that midrange shot a bit more. Once he gets that down, he’ll be an easy 20+ ppg scorer

oh-so-original | Thunder

13 | 4 days ago

Oklahomans up big today baby

vindictivejazz | Thunder

9 | 4 days ago

Well, the OU half.

Us OSU fans have had a moderately good day.

OSUBoglehead | Thunder

5 | 4 days ago

Look on the bright side. As an OSU fan, we have way more free time this year to watch the Thunder play.

kramer944

13 | 4 days ago

Only question for OKC will be how healthy they’ll be come playoffs. They’ve got regular season locked up.

Zungad | Supersonics

9 | 3 days ago

They’re barely healthy right now lol, I think they definitely need Williams back for the Playoffs, but they could honestly match up insanely well against any team without a lot of those key players who missed a lot of time so far.

deaderthanadoornail | Thunder

If you only had to bet a few dollars to win a million if OKC goes winless the rest of the season, would you hold onto your money or bet? Keep in mind your havent had an egg mcmuffin yet this morning.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (13-1) defeat the Charlotte Hornets (4-9), 109-96 behind SGA’s 33/7/4
