People are going to say the Pistons should have played better with how many players OKC had out, but honestly, the guys who played for the Thunder deserve credit. 18 made 3s, and 20 of 21 at the line.

Every time the Pistons pulled away someone made something happen for the Thunder.

Kevinlasagna207 | Thunder

Uncle_Freddy | SAS

55 | 8 hours ago

Meaning no disrespect at all, I think there’s also something different about playing for a single game with your back against the wall as a massive underdog versus trotting out a roster like this night in, night out for 82 games.

These guys have real NBA skills, and they’re playing like it’s Game 7 to them because they’re playing for their careers to either break into the Thunder rotation or secure a contract from another team elsewhere that will give them an opportunity to earn a bigger bag down the line.

The Thunder are well coached and run really deep, but the talent has also ended up being the deciding factor in both their “OKC Blues” games so far. I do wonder how hard some of these guys would continue playing throughout a season if, despite their best efforts, they keep falling short; that wears on anyone, much less competitive NBA players like these guys.

dwrek24 | Spurs

9 | 8 hours ago

Pretty much this. In addition to, theres no tape or game plan when the lineup is that jumbled. Its a lot of factors and it usually means nothing in the long run.

We already know the Thunder draft well and have more talent than roster spots from a role player perspective. It just takes an outlier 3 point performance and your off to the races.

Credit to OKCs staff for having their guys up but these situations can be overblown.

Spurs fans did it with the almost Heat win in 2012-2013 and the Heat still end up winning the title.

Because we played Brooks “worst offensive player in the league” Barnhizer 22 minutes tonight, its not that the other guys played bad, it’s that we were missing an MVP, and all-nba players, and all-star DPOY player, and a tonne more. We were playing with one hand tied behind our back

Yea, any game where you hit 18 3’s (which is one thing I hate about this iteration of the NBA) you’ve probably going to be in good shape.

I give OKC credit too because the Pistons are generally great at defending the 3 ball.

Antique-Lychee-8029

theinterestof | Pistons

12 | 8 hours ago

I don’t “like” him per se (the guy seems like a total doucher tbh) but he’s clearly a quality player. This sub just doesn’t understand basketball any deeper than box scores and vibes.

If all their PGs are hurt and he’s forced to initiate the offense every possession, then yeah he’s going to occasionally do shit like dribble the ball off his leg. But when he’s able to play his natural role, he’s solid in a lot of areas: defense, rebounding, outside shooting, passing vision. His ability to battle for ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ plays and draw charges don’t show up in the box score, but they make a huge impact.

ButlerFromDowntown | Bulls

5 | 6 hours ago

I like Podz, he’s a good role player who often gets asked to do too much because the Warriors don’t have much depth. He’s a convenient scapegoat for Warriors fans and Warriors haters will never pass up on an opportunity to hate on any Warriors player. He’s very good value for his draft position and he is a genuinely good player who will be around in this league for a while.

I noticed immediately.

First thought: Perhaps it’s a WNBA result.

Second thought: Idiot, WNBA is on break. Also there’s no way there’s a WNBA team in Detroit with the same name as its NBA counterpart.

Third thought: Perhaps this is a soft rollout of a new name. Perhaps “Thunder” is now offensive. Maybe shows insensitivity to the people who lose their lives and homes to hurricanes every year.

Fourth thought: Check Google. Oh, Google still says Oklahoma City Thunder.

Question: I’m an NBA casual, so I wouldn’t know. Is there any lore behind the “Blue”?

Literally the entire thread from the Pistons vs Spurs game was about how Cade is the most overrated player in the league and foul baits and Stephon Castle owns him so Cade has been exposed and it’s laughable to even consider him for MVP recognition.

Idk how you guys deal with it with Shai. I was getting mad reading it like okay Cade has one bad game, we don’t have to act like he’s actually a fraud even though our team is first in the east. I guess the winning part helps the most lol

The fact that he can drop 20 points on 16 shots, in 30 odd minutes and we say he had a bad game is hilarious for what you gave up

I get it wasn’t his best shooting night, but we’d kill for a guard off the bench that could score 20 right now.

Fun game, a lot closer than most Thunder fans expected it to be. Once again proud of the effort from the bench mob.

Honestly my biggest concern from this game is Joe being injured for an extended period of time

OGMannimal | Pistons

I still think we are ahead of schedule here and need to rein in our expectations. We are really suffering from a lack of three point shooting, and it is going to bite us in the playoffs.

It really shows when other teams are shooting the 3 ball even somewhat well. When you can’t make any yourself, it’s really tough to hold off teams. The thunder bench almost came back tonight due to this disparity

fenrir1208 | Thunder

12 | 9 hours ago

It almost bit us in our Finals run. Our guys couldn’t hit a three to save their life, but they stayed true to playing with movement and getting open looks around the lane and the midrange.

Mightve been the best game Ive seen Cade play

Not the craziest comp with all the Thunder out … But he completely dominated this game on both ends

Whenever they needed a play, he made it

jfkgoblue | Pistons

He had a lot more TOs than normal tbh, if TS% is all you care about, it was his best game of the season though

In an alternate universe, Jaylin Williams grows up in a basketball hotspot like SoCal instead of rural Arkansas, plays for Kansas, gets drafted at 7th by like the Trailblazers, and then leads them to perennial early playoff exits as “the guy”

I love how hard he reps Arkansas, that big-ass Fort Smith tattoo on his shoulder. He’s just a great jack-of-all-trades ballplayer with an elite BBIQ, but he doesn’t have the specific body or size to fit into typical NBA roles.

This is gonna be a wild playoffs. OKC is deep as hell, Tatum should be back shortly, Cleveland’s entire hope depends on Harden’s thumb, San Antonio is absolutely terrifying, Denver’s got more health issues than I would’ve thought possible, New York is either real good or real awful and can’t decide which it is, and Detroit is… I have no idea, honestly. They’re tough and play hard, but I have no idea what their ceiling actually is.
