A quarter of the way through the season, OKC on pace for a 78-4 record
https://www.espn.com/nba/standings
A quarter of the way through 2015-16 Warriors were on pace for 82-0
All we did was get our Portland loss out of the way early
why is your flair Melo lol. He was in OKC for a year.
He was my favorite player growing up before OKC even had a team. Always showing love to him
Ah, must’ve been a dream to see him join the roster for a season!
You’d have thought. Dude was a terrorist
He was washed, but he still made the season exciting.
Man that team was actually looking so damn good once they had a couple of months to gel. And then Roberson’s knee exploded and we just free falled at that point.
lmao
That is ridiculous to have your flair as your favorite player who was only with your team after his prime for such a short time.
Ridiculous.
Dudes way over-hated and disrespected.
16 warriors were projected at 73 wins when they were 24-0. OKC was projected to win 74 at 18-1
I’m actually projecting them to lose out the rest of the season. My model has them going 20-62.
Hmm…I need to look into your model some more, it sounds promising.
It was some pretty advanced prompt engineering in ChatGPT. My prompt was “How many wins would the Oklahoma City Thunder get for the rest of the year if they didn’t win any more games?”. I then passed the projected win rate through a linear regression algorithm to determine EWRFTOCTFTROTS (Expected Win Rate For The Oklahoma City Thunder For The Rest Of The Season). If you then apply EWRFTOCTFTROTS to their current record, you get a somewhat surprising result of a 20-62 record. At this point they may consider tanking to increase their lottery odds even more.
surely they’ll start losing games eventually
Without ihart the margins are worse tbh
they just got JDub back though
him getting into form will help a ton, clearly (and expectedly) pretty rusty after an extended absence
thing with ihart is that there really isn’t anybody who can replace his skillset on the team, and our rebounding esp collapses
Their schedule is honestly pretty light for the next two weeks. No matchups against an inner circle contender until the Rockets on January 15th, where they’ll have Hartenstein back
We don’t know the Cup match-ups yet. Theirs a pretty good chance they meet a pretty good team at some point (assuming they can beat Phoenix again).
Either the lakers or wemby less spurs would be the game besides phoenix. The cup championship doesn’t count
Spurs might not be Wemby-less by then
It may not count towards their record but it would still be a loss.
I honestly think GSW beats us next game. We look a little gassed, and no Hart. Steph can’t play worse than he did when we first saw them
well good news for you is that steph will not be playing
Will Richards legacy game
And jimmy fell on his ass again
Isn’t Seth coming back? That’s basically Steph with bigger ears.
Golden state has no chance vs okc
They’re not the same team they were in the back half of last year
GSW ain’t beating anyone in their current state
We are worse without iHart, so games where our shots aren’t falling are gonna be a lot harder. Rebounding and screening falls off a cliff without him.
Luckily we got Wiggins back and of course JDub who seems to be on an upward path in terms of his production. We’re gonna need to start hitting our shots because we’re not gonna get many second chances
Shoutout KWill as well
JoJonesy!
what
I love you!
They’ve been on surprisingly close games lately against wolves, suns and portland. Shai no longer sitting the 4th q too. They may get some resistance in the cup games
They will lose once they meet the Magic, so thats 2 more losses at least, somebody else gotta help
Don’t…just don’t
I don’t know why, but when I read the first 2⁄3’s of your comment I thought it was about to go on a Scott Steiner-esque rant about how OKC can’t beat you, lol. Kinda wish it did.
I always love a good Paolo vs. Chet debate. Neither side is wrong but man people get feisty.
They’ve already won more games than the Pelicans and Wizards will probably win all season
50centwhathesayfuckmefor.gif
they will also be getting a top 5 pick btw(maybe)
I think it is more savage to say we’ll have three lottery picks
Clippers seem in Limbo land at this point helping you guys out lol
Clippers could be a top pick, jazz pick and sixers pick coming in clutch too
Only 3 teams (besides OKC) have ever started 20-1 or better: 2015-16 Warriors, 1993-94 Rockets, and 1969-70 Knicks. All three made the Finals, 2 of them won, the other one holds the regular season win record.
Shouldn’t the bulls be in there?
They started 19-2
bums
I hope they break the Warriors’ record, and have an outstanding season. This is some great fucking basketball. I’m a Celtics fan, and I love watching these guys.
The thought of them breaking the Warriors’ 73-9 record from 15⁄16 is slowly starting to do twice the job that a Viagra pill can do.
Please call your doctor if the Jchub lasts longer than 8 hours
we’ll drop more games in the new year, but we’ve taken care of business as well as you could hope. the goal for the thunder should be to make sure Jdub and the team improve their chemistry with each game so that we are on peak form heading into May
That and stay healthy. It’d be cool if they set the regular season wins record but should prioritize staying injury free
I think the record is something they obviously would like to achieve, but I’m sure the true goal is 70. Reach that exclusive 70 status, be better than last year, and enter the playoffs healthy and prepared.
We are due a couple L’s with iHart out and JDub still working his way back to form. Shai clutched it out but we’ve not looked good these past two games.
Honestly Shai has looked terrible in these first half’s (still my goat)
Shhhhh don’t jinx us
Great. So happy for them.
We tried
They’ll lose to the some poverty franchises like the bulls and kings in due time. Don’t worry
I won’t mind losing to a Russell Westbrook 50 pt triple double
How about a Giddey TD
they will lose to the Wizards next year
Sometimes I feel like Rip Van Winkle that woke up to the bad teams being awesome.
You are wrong
They will drop a few unless Shai is going to play every game which is probably not going to happen
OKC goes 74-8 and lose to the underdog Warriors to complete the cycle
Just takes Dillon Brooks drop kicking SGA one time and the championship is back on
The 2015-16 Warriors had ultra-prime special-sauce Curry who is easily better than anyone on the 2025-2026 Thunder (SGA included), BUT the 2025-26 Thunder are overall a deeper, more talented team than the 2015-16 Warriors, IMO.
Did the mods delete the SGA phantom foul replay?
Yeah because you could’ve clipped multiple phantom calls on multiple players in the same game, such a pointless post
Keep drawing those free throws
Thunder are bottom 10 in FTA per game.
Curious what is like just going through life without a single original thought in your head, and just parroting whatever TikTok or x reel you watched last. Is it a satisfying life?
