The silver lining with our 3 best ball handlers/ creators being out is Cason finding his
PAY HIM 35M LETS GO
I’m glad JDub took a 30 million pay cut!
The only thing that can stop a thunder dynasty are the spurs and the tax.
Spurs ain’t beating this team this year if OKC are healthy.
Possibly in future as they develop, but this team is much better than last year’s team.
Oh and the Spurs have to win a Playoff series first. That is not guaranteed, especially if the are in the 2nd seed.
I’m not talking about this year. Just in the long term. Nobody would say winning back to back makes you a dynasty, you need continued success for years. The spurs are young with lots of great players plus wemby. If your team has to pay all your guys and the spurs continue to improve, I think they have a good chance of contesting your dynasty odds.
Yes entirely fair and think we are saying the same thing.
By the way im not suggesting OKC are a dynasty either, at minimum they’d have to B2B Championships and probably another at some point to be considered that.
I definitely think the Spurs have potential, but we really need to see what it looks like in the Playoffs. Looks manageable now, but they are a very average shooting team in the Regular Season.
What is that going to look like in the Playoffs when everything is tighter and has more pressure? Teams are going to cheat off Castle, Harper, Barnes and others. That is going to grind their offense to a halt.
They dont have a Tier S offensive creator that can get tough buckets consistently, even as great as Wemby is. Where are they going to get that as even Wemby probably never gets to that.
Cant wait for this Playoffs though, shaping up to be very entertaining.
Yeah theres definitely no guarantee how they’ll look in the playoffs or how they’ll improve. Its why I’m so excited for the playoffs as a basketball fan first and foremost. Good young teams coming up and showing the league what they can do is great for the sport. Like what your thunder did over the last few years.
Yeap going to be a great Playoffs - West OKC / DEN / SAS / MIN teams to watch and a truly wide open East, that could have multiple upsets.
Going to be great to watch, but probably stressful as a fan.
Last few years my raptors havent been good so I’ve been watching a lot of nuggets because I really like watching jokic play, and after being an idiot and discrediting your team last year, I had a realization I was being a dumbass instead of just enjoying basketball. It’s made this year far better to watch just because of the number of great teams to watch.
The teams you mentioned in the west, all the teams doing well here in the east, and teams like the hornets that look like they’ll be good next year now they have good things going for him.
As a fan, I’m ecstatic.
Agreed, I remember the dark days of foregone conclusion of GSW winning with a Finals of GSW vs Cavs.
Made the entire season and majority of Playoffs pointless, really sucked to be honest. The depth of league has absolutely changed for the better.
For OKC the whole fouling and foul baiting just isn’t true, just bitter fans largely. We play a very good egalitarian, motion offense and great defense brand of ball.
The match ups in the West are going to be crazy this year and the variance in the East could be crazy too. As you say, Hornets could be a super fun upset team, but think anyone in the top 6 could make the Finals in the East if it breaks their way.
I mean the league seems rigged toward big market teams and it felt like OKC stole one last year. I feel the NBA owners want the Spurs and Wemby in the finals and Pesti is using a cheat code to try to deny them. Seems like Wemby is the chosen one and SGA is mucking up that agenda. Meanwhile Jokic is quietly being the best players ever and he gets little media attention. I get it, Wemby is must watch TV, owners want him to carry the league in the near future.
Hit Shead with a Shai snatchback 3 🤧
what the actual fuck
So OKC somehow got a 3th starter level point guard?
Wtf
Thirdth
fuck
Fuckth
if your guard is struggling… play the raptors and he’ll be back in his groove in no time!
Cason has been playing well before this game
He just had 20/4/10 on 44/50/100 against the Cavs.
Funny way of saying the Raptors had no answer for him whatsoever. He’s been balling out since Shai went down.
Hey Shai, ✋✋we’re all good. You can go. Cason Wallace is here
Always liked that dude
Love your guards too. Castle has been balling. Hopefully we have a good rivalry the next decade
Get a room you two
Wanna join?
Oh you’re going in the room now too! Jack Armstrong is a national treasure
castle is my favorite non-thunder guard on the league. dud is a powerhouse on both sides. I’ve not seen a Westbrook energy-level of guy in a while, but Castle feels like he could be that.
As much as the Spurs vs Thunder rivalry can get a lil spicy at times, I have to remember that we’ll be battling each other for the next 5 years at least with most others below us. It’s gonna be fun as hell.
Trade SGA
/s
we dont have as many picks as the rest of the nba thinks. clippers can have him back if they give us every pick until 2100
You guys have two, potentially three first round picks this year and then three next year…the horror…
You want them? We’ll Give you Wiggins, Dort, Topic and picks for Sct.
Yeah how about absolutely not. Topic + picks aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Too much potential.
Stupid trade idea
The Spurs have lots of picks! You guys love picks!!
SGA a system PG
Man please give us a break 😭 why do guards always start cooking against us again
Well, how is your POA defense?
I don’t think its terrible. Shead and Ja’kobe are both decent. Quick and RJ are a lot worse and they play more minutes but theyre defo not traffic cones.
I mean Cason is special. I don’t know about the others. But this was a crazy game
This was a dope game. We started off great in the 4 and faltered RIP. Hopefully Scottie aint injured too bad
Seriously. Should’ve sat that man. I get you want to win, but that’s such a gamble
I’ve seen enough, super max him
Have to see if podz gets the max before they can decide.
If there is any team that loves its smalls its us
Nets might actually give him a bonkers contract with our cap space if he makes to RFA. I expect OKC to work something out before that though
Oh believe me if it means Dort and Wiggins have to go then Dort and Wiggins will be GONE. As much as I like them, Cason is getting too good to be able to have all three.
I love Caso
Caso is life
He kept going after the break too
TS should not be used for individual games, like clearly there’s smth wrong with it if someone makes over 100%…it should only be used over an amount of games.
So its presence here is meaningless.
Take out the TS shit and he was still perfect from the field buddy.
Seems like someone is a little salty? Weird considering y’all have a pretty nice core and team overall. Chill out.
Mvp? Of what?
The nba
All State
The finals
Of course the guy who can’t pick up obvious sarcasm only has posts about ai
