This is a 67.7 win pace, this is incredibly rare territory to be in with only two other guards showcasing a higher level of dominance before.

Curry has a two season win pace peak of 138-21 (71 win pace) (2016 and 2017 seasons)

Jordan has a two season win pace peak of 141-23 (70.4 win pace) (1996 and 1997 seasons)

Still wild that there was a time where we were 72-10 in our last 82 games back during the 24-1 days.

What’s not talked about enough is that over this time period where the Thunder have averaged 68 wins with SGA in the lineup, is that J-Dub, Chet, Hartenstein, Ajay Mitchell, Caruso, etc have all missed significant stretches of time.

When the Warriors broke the wins record, they were extremely healthy.

The Thunder have not been healthy the past two seasons. Even in their playoff run, J-Dub had a torn ligament in his wrist.

Yeah this is the biggest reason the thunder are so great imo, you still beat most teams even if 3 of your starting 5 are out. It’s such a stacked roster.

It’s a testament to how great your front office and coaching are.

Like you said, testament to the coaching. Daigneault has caught a lot of flack over the years for weird rotations which is not entirely invalid but I think it has really borne fruit this season with so many guys missing time at different points throughout the year and the team still being able to keep things fairly steady since everyone came in ready to play at any point.

Mavs went 3-1 against them last year. Props to the Spurs for not reacting to that by trading Wemby for Siakam mid season.

If I remember correctly, the Thunder did not have either of Chet or Hartenstein for any of those losses with one of them being when they had no healthy bigs at all and Jalen Williams had to play the 5. The Thunder ended up winning the only matchup between those teams that Hartenstein played in. Shai was also absent for one of the losses. I think a playoff matchup between them without the Luka trade would have been tight but there weren’t any games between them that year that you really could have drawn conclusions from.

Crazy to think they’re probably going to trade Jalen Williams after this year. Way overpaid and that money is better off spent paying the rest of the roster when they’ve proven they can win without him

Presti isn’t an idiot. Look at the thunders winning record without him. He’s vastly overrated because he’s a fan favorite but he’s nowhere close to being a super max player and that money is better off spent retaining the depth on the roster

Ah thank you for proving my point. His poor play and being injury prone this year made him not eligible for any of the provisions that would have bumped him up to 30% of the cap

Not sure if you’re just trolling at this point, but by the time he returned to play from the offseason surgery (which Presti knew he needed when the extension was offered) - he was practically already ineligible for the awards.

Narrow-Talk-5017

He was vital to OKC winning the chip last year. He was both an all nba & all defensive player in year 3 of his career & is still improving.

This was a down season for him, as he was injured most of the year & when he did play he was still trying to get used to shooting with his hand after surgery.

Though it may be hard to tell from the record, OKC’s offense really suffered without him this year. SGA, Jdub, & now Ajay Mitchell are really the only guys on the roster who can create their own shot. There are so many points throughout the year where OKCs halfcourt offense came to a halt when SGA wasn’t on the court because they didn’t have another guy like Jdub to take over.

You say Presti isn’t an idiot - so why would he give a contract extension to JDub, then trade him after a year right before it’s about to kick in when nothing has changed from that time. He was given the extension knowing he was about to get surgery & missed most of the season as a direct result of that surgery & a later hamstring injury

No chance JDub moves unless playoffs go so insanely wrong like losing in the 2nd round. However they will make changes for tax reasons. A Dort trade is a very real possibility and not the only one.

Narrow-Talk-5017

Most thunder fans have accepted the fact that Dort likely isn’t coming back next season. Switching his representation to Klutch sports in the middle of the season likely sealed the deal.

They very clearly arent trading Jdub so I dont know where you pulled that from. They will move Dort on. A guy isn’t overpaid when he is a key contributor to a championship side.
Hes an elite defender and missing time meant they are actually paying him less than they would have had too.

Sorry if I am nitpicking, but the years you pulled for Steph in the query were 2015 and 2016 and in the post it says 2016 and 2017. Either one is the same result of course because we went 67-15 in both 2015 and 2017. But I just don’t wanna see some nephew come in and comment “but didn’t Steph have KD one of those years” when it’s the same result if you use 2015 and 2016

Seems like an unlikely win distribution after a 68 win team disappears. The bulls were also a 50+ win team without MJ lol. Your acting like going from low fifties to tied for top 5 wins in a season ever is insignificant. Also none of this even taking into account the level of competition of teams when he doesn’t play.
