Last season they could’ve made a play-in push but they’d be in the Memphis-Utah range this season

They have one of the greatest defenses in all of NBA history when SGA is resting, so no they would not be a lotto team.

If we keep in mind the actual injuries, I think they are arguably a bottom 5 team without Shai

holy strawman

I guess shooting 60 percent front the field with 1 tov makes you a ball hog

Brother what? It literally worked last year lmao. And if that’s what you think do you hold this same opinion with MJ?

If Timmy D could have hit a pull-up hesi jimbo he wouldn’t have passed as much

Are you fucking stupid? Did you just say Tim has had worse teammates when he literally had Manu Ginobili who led the NBA in EPM for a year or two around 2005?

with a broken wrist

People in the OKC sub were hating on him as well, people overreact to every game it’s crazy. I swear looking at the Thunder sub since losing to the Spurs 3 times you would think the Thunder completely suck and didn’t just win the championship last year.

Then the next game he had the worst plus minus in NBA FINALS HISTORY. In game 1 he shot 6 of 19 on 41%TS. In Game 2 he shot 5 of 14. In Game 3 he shot below league average as well with 4 TOVs. If Jdub played good, OKC would have swept Indiana. I’m tired of people judging one player based on one game.

Look at Jalen Green in the first round vs GSW lol. One good game doesn’t offset Jdub from shooting 50%TS across the other 6 games.

while injured too!

Yeah its Dort and Joe that need to be on the first plane outta here, and inform Dub is massive

I mean I’m all for keeping J-dub, he’s the heart and sole of the team. But if the offer of J-Dub, 2 picks and Dort gets us a disgruntled Giannis, it might have to happen.

Our spacing would be non existent, but the defence of Chet, I-Hart and Giannis along with Caruso, Caso, Ajay and Shai would be insane.

Edit: and I don’t even think it’s that crazy of a deal if Giannis forces a move.

Yeah this game is more about missing both Wiggins and Ajay, without those two our best rim pressuring player is.. uh, Kenrich Williams I guess? And I love Kenny but if he’s your third best creator you’re not gonna win a lot of games lol

So no, it won’t shut them up. 

Dort has been at 40% 3 for the last month before putting up a horrific night tonight. Had a rough start to the year but he’s been great recently. Y’all really just talk out your asses 

Hope you make the conference finals again.

well, nobody mentions this for any player of other teams either

You still lost to the worst team in the league starters gone or not

Flopping, foul baiting and bluetooth fouls is cringe.

Dort had a bad night, but he’s been good recently. And who would you have started over him with five guys injured?

Not just starting, getting unlimited leash in crunch time, its coaching malpractice

clutch player of the year

True that

I think there were three instances where OKC got a no-call and the Pacers scored. Missed calls have a really bad snowball effect. Too bad the poor officiating issue only matters when it isn’t done to teams like OKC or LA with bad reputations.

They can miss dub, they can miss Ajay, but they can’t be missing both and shoot like buns from 3.

they’d be like, maaaaybe 40-50 something, I wouldn’t bet on it though 

Be so for real lol both teams were injured tonight. No Dub, Caruso, IHart, Mitchell, Wiggins for OKC

Yeah he played the full fourth quarter today which almost never happens. Coach knew they’re toast without him out there tonight

He did pregame work before the game started today.

He’ll be back after the ASB at worst.

calf strain, i dont think any team is taking ANY chances with how many achilles tears the league has had in recent years.

Yeah our role players shat the bed but Shai still had an MVP performance so it’s fine

He had an amazing game. Maybe it’s semantics. If I hear a team or player is in “full control” I’m assuming a win. If you’re fully controlling the game, presumably you’d control it to get the W. Just not used to hearing the term in a losing effort.

Thunder Floppers lost?

It’s still embarrassing as hell to lose to a team that sits at the bottom of the league. I’m just so pissed we lost tonight 

It’s still no excuse to lose to teams that’s sitting at the bottom. If this team ever wants to reach the Finals again then they need to trade for someone who can hit 3’s consistently 

I’m not asking for 80 wins or hell even 70 wins. All I’m asking for is some competence in this team because we can’t be having Shai do all the work!
