Damn good to have Dub back before the playoffs.
Healthy dub and aj in the playoffs will hit like crack
We haven’t even seen Playoff AJ yet. Might just be fent.
Don’t forget the Joecain
Shed a tear seeing these fourth quarter mins
Austin Reaves will lock his ass up in the WCF
lol known defensive specialist Austin Reeves ya ok
Can’t wait 😏
Trade deadlines over? How the hell is Austin reaves ever gonna make the wcf?
They’ll just have to beat the TWolves and then the Spurs, ez pz 🤣
he can definitely lock up Brooks Barnhizer
Hey if we make it to the WCF finals that means we didn’t flame out in the 2nd like the past couple champs, pretty neat
Him returning gonna be a huge boost for the Thunder
I’m excited for it, I love Chet but when jdub is cooking he really feels like SGAs other half
Even after the first hammy injury his shot looked all the way back the wrist does not look like an issue at all anymore just got to keep those hammys healthy now
Low key a blessing in disguise. He needed more time for his wrist to heal completely, but he wanted to play on it. He looked 100% tonight
it’s not so much that the wrist was still hurt - but rather it just takes time to get used to how it feels after it ’s repaired.
Nah he was icing it during every break. That’s only because of pain
Oh great OKC has even more talent ready to play
Don’t speak too soon please
People forget the dude dropped 40 in the finals
On a bum wrist lmao 🤣
Won a ring on a broken freakin wrist! It’s damn true
Like a massively fucked wrist. This dude is a fucking beast and I’m so happy he’s back
Don’t worry, if you forget someone will remind you in 5 minutes.
He was lookin real good tonight, the top seed just added an all nba player to the roster lmao
Not bad. Well, league might be cooked. That’s scary.
can we get a vj post game thread
Dude was almost lights out. Made SGA make some silly mistakes, too.
I respect the fuck out of him and I’m a Thunder fan. Hard not to like him. He was giving it everything he had even when they were down 20+. Looking like a mini Russell Westbrook out there.
Personally I think Morey should send him to OKC for Brooks Barnhizer and a couple 2nd round picks.
I want a highlight of him missing shot after shot in the 2nd qtr.
looking real solid despite being out so long this season
His wrist isn’t bothering him at all anymore, his shot is all the way back just have to keep the legs healthy now
in 20 mins!
I have watched a dozen Shai games this season, all without JDub. I see how much defensive attention he draws when someone like Dort is out there, it’s scary to think about JDub filling in some of those minutes.
Add Ajay to that mix too
With the way Dort has been playing on offense his minutes will shrink in the playoffs we have too many options to persist with one that is hurting us
He had some good finishes around rim to show he is back. Wish he finished the one dunk that bounced out of rim for Ihart to rebound.
A healthy thunder team in any playoff series does not lose more than 1 game. #OKCdynasty
if I was a betting man, I’d bet he could’ve came back sooner, but they wanted to give him as much wrist rehab time as possible. He was playing well before this ~5 week hamstring injury but had also said his wrist still didn’t feel normal (still struggling to dribble at times, etc). Who knows
No way. His wrist was looking really good before the second hamstring strain. He even said it on his YouTube video. He was so sad about it when he went out. Said his wrist was finally feeling better. Hamstrings are a very tricky injury a second one in just weeks after returning is not a joke.
Bro must’ve got motivated after people recently have been saying CWill is the better brother
His first time back I thought he looked really off, this time he looked PERFECT, exactly what I expect from him. I just don’t see how this team doesn’t repeat, legitimately 2 full NBA teams worth of players fully healthy.
Feels good to have Jdub back
I love that this is going to fly so under the radar because of how hated we are. Jdub with a shooting wrist is an all star.
So happy tonight. Spurs Thunder collision course though.
So good to have him back. He wasn’t totally in the flow, but he had a handful of patented JDub plays that make me so excited to see this team actually fully healthy. It’s happening at the right time.
looked way more similar to how he did last season than at any point this season. super encouraging game.
