giri0n | OKC

11 | 11 hours ago

They have the best baseline margin of play of any team. We suck? Still have a chance because of our D. We hitting from 3? We blow teams out.

Crazy how they give themselves a chance in every game with effort matched to their talent.

Out for this game - SGA, Caruso, iHart, Dort, and IJoe. Wildin

Greglyo

3 | 8 hours ago

Not a Thunder fan but the scariest thing about them I’ve noticed is that if they go up 15 or 20 points early in the 1st half, it’s damn near impossible to even make a comeback because they continue swarming and playing suffocating defense even while they’re up 15, 20, 30 points and so on. Not to mention that they’re also a top 5 offensive team at least. Also, it’s still a long way to even be having this discussion but I hope the Thunder break the Lakers 33 game win streak because it’ll piss Lakers fans off to no end.

Escritortoise

3 | 6 hours ago

The commentators mentioned it this game and that seems be Daigneault’s core principles: defense and consistency.

The whole team was out of their minds from three tonight, but he’s never a prisoner of the moment and sticks to just playing defense and solid basketball.

They can have outliers and hit streaks from three, but there’s really never a game they don’t have a chance in based on turnovers and tenacity.

It’s a relentless grind, because the whole team just keeps attacking whether they’re up, or down, 20 points.

To be fair, on/off stats are too complicated for those folks so I’m inclined to let them grasp at whatever straws they want.

KapUSMC | Thunder

And with his off stats, they still have first rd at home net rating, and that’s with all of the games missed from other key players.

The Jazz don’t even have 5 starting caliber players fully healthy lmao

KapUSMC | Thunder

15 | 12 hours ago

He does have a superteam though. Shai is great. Love Shai. But he isn’t exactly carrying a group of bums. Without Shai they are still contenders, they’re just prohibitive favorites with him.

trickstarsuser | Thunder

10 | 11 hours ago

Without Shai, a low seed playoff team yes, but not contenders. We underestimate how hard it is to even get to the finals.

KapUSMC | Thunder

6 | 11 hours ago

They’re in Spurs/Wolves range without Shai. I consider them contenders. Not favorites, not likely, but at least possibilities.

trickstarsuser | Thunder

3 | 10 hours ago

The difference between an SGA-less OKC and the Spurs/Wolves is the lack of a 1st option. JDub and Chet are great, don’t get me wrong. But they are not the good enough to be the 1st option in a contending team.

Especially in a playoff setting where teams rely heavily on their stars rather than the depth of their team. If JDub or Chet make that superstar leap like Ant or Wemby, then I will consider them without SGA to be contenders. But for now, they are a playoff team without Shai.

Mr_Saxobeat94

1 | 10 hours ago

They are 6-1 since the start of last year in games he’s missed and +⁷⁄₁₀₀ possessions (57 win pace) in a rather large sample of off-minutes (playoffs included).

trickstarsuser | Thunder

7 | 10 hours ago

While the team did play well. The teams OKC beat in the games SGA didn’t play were not contenders, hell they weren’t even playoff teams. They were the Jazz, Pelicans, Suns, Blazers, and the 76ers. Not exactly a good sample size to say that the team is good enough to compete. Especially if they haven’t fought any real competition without Shai since they fought the Mavs with Kyrie.

thurstkiller | Jazz

Markkanen aint helping this game. Was useless against the Knicks last game in a eerily similar blowout

libertydabbing | OKC

72 | 12 hours ago

Cason is so fucking good. If I’m Dort, I’m feeling like I need to come back because Caso is making him look expendable rn.

E_boiii | Thunder

41 | 12 hours ago

Cason feels like a mix of AC and Dort.

Id like to keep him, but Dort is starting to look very expendable with his slow start and injury

This roster really is just too stacked for any weaknesses

ExpressionAlone5204 | Thunder

31 | 12 hours ago

I’d love to keep Dort. He’ll decide that based on how much money he demands.

E_boiii | Thunder

32 | 12 hours ago

Yeah, unfortunately ihart also needs to get paid and anyone with eyes knows that hart is the only one that fills his role as well as he does :/

AmlStupid

Sorber could be on his way to replacing that position but man I don’t feel like he’d be ready to do that once ihart’s contact is up after missing this year.

It’s the sad reality that the team won’t be able to stay together because most of our players will command 20 million+ in free agency, but it’s a good problem to have

Hogs_of_war232 | Thunder

I have never turned off a game because I legitimately felt bad about beating a team before, but tonight I shut it off near the end of the third. The Utah announcing crew sounded legitimately depressed.

Clownp3nis | Thunder

13 | 12 hours ago

Legit many of these guys made jumps, Cason and Ajay are significantly better, Chet is back to pre-hip injury on both sides of the ball, but offensive for sure. Shai has upgraded his bag with the step back 3….. this team is already significantly better than last years championship team.

KapUSMC | Thunder

9 | 12 hours ago

don’t forget ihart having his best season ever.

saurons_scion | Thunder

3 | 10 hours ago

Really curious what Shai decides to make his “tinker” in the back half of the season. Every year he picks a new skill to try and work on after he solidifies at the beginning of the year

Anyone who watched this through to the end is truly a basketball sicko.

SpicyGinSin | Thunder

3 | 12 hours ago

Ifk man but tough times are ahead

BruceBrownMVP | Nets

8 | 12 hours ago

Lu Dort, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso. Each one of the three are DPOY level defenders.

J Dub and Chet are all-league first team all D level defenders.

Plus I Hart, J Will, SGA, Ajay and Isaiah. Who are all solid as fuck defensively… And it helps one of them is fucking all-time offensively… Like legit CP3 and KD combined…

I’d be hesitant if it were the Nets but there’s legit never been a team like this before.

jataba115 | OKC

3 | 12 hours ago

I Hart could low key be the DPOY when you look at certain statistics

BruceBrownMVP | Nets

1 | 11 hours ago

Guy has found a perfect fit and im sure he’s more valuable to your team than Dort, AC or Wallace. But all 3 are objectively better defenders than him which is why he won’t win.

jataba115 | OKC

1 | 11 hours ago

Well yeah I mean they wouldn’t win it either, because Chet will have the narrative anyways

BruceBrownMVP | Nets

0 | 11 hours ago

I’d be surprised if he makes the 65 game requirement. Cason Wallace is the best defender on the team regardless.

lethalizered | Thunder

1 | 9 hours ago

Chet has played 20 games thus far and missed 4, played the last 15 games.

He’s also a very hard player to be convinced when it comes to sitting. Unless he has a legitimate injury, he’s getting 68+ games this season.

yeah the thunder are easily going to beat the most regular season games record. and going to be back to back nba champions. I just can’t see anyone beating team season for the title.

Nothing easy about those things. It’s possible but our schedule also gets a lot harder

KapUSMC | Thunder

6 | 12 hours ago

Houston and Denver are going be tough. it won’t be a cakewalk by any means, but if they’re relatively healthy they should be pretty heavy favorites.

Late-Bus-686

0 | 11 hours ago

Denver and Houston should be favored over the thunder?

KapUSMC | Thunder

1 | 2 hours ago

No, the Thunder will be heavy favorites if relatively healthy. The Thunder are in a class by themselves at the top, with Houston and Denver in the tier below. Good enough that they can beat them in a series, but it would be an upset for sure.

OKC looking like 81-1 tbh. I don’t see anyone beating them except themselves

Longjumping_One_9164 | Thunder

2 | 10 hours ago

I’m a truther and we’re pretty confident they’d win last year, but I think we win 70 evenly.

Largely because the team will without doubt get everyone’s best shot in the remaining games in the year. Couple a few more rest games for SGA and it can be quite easy to be caught.

We have vs PHX, @MIN and @MEM coming up. As much as OKC is better every single one of those teams has circled that game coming and wants to be the team that breaks the streak.

But we will see how it plays out.

Do the 2025 clippers have by far the best net rating and point differential in the history of the league while also almost having a tie for the record best start to a season in the history of the league?

The Oklahoma City Thunder (22-1) defeat the Utah Jazz (8-14), 131-101.
