don't sleep on the Thunder. Shai Alexander and Josh Giddey are one of the best young backcourts in the league.


im sleeping on them. they are a bad team. you think our roster contruction is bad? they lack everything. Giddey would come off our bench even with guys out.

Dort is the only guy who is trouble on that team.

Shai? yeah no thanks.. he is basically just a healthier levert. An inefficienct chucker who very little positive impact on winning and who is a complete brick layer.

Good game for the rookies to get some experience tho.


The thunder are an awful team. Even with KD/Ky/Harris/Clax out we SHOULD win. back to back still should win.

Dortz defending Harden well is all that worries me. but even then, they are terrible


They're not that terrible when they have SGA, Dort and Giddey all healthy.

SGA usually plays well against the Nets. They've had really close games recently vs the Denver and the Wiz last 2 games. They played Tues. Most of the team's offensive firepower in out.

At the very least it will be a very close game.

yeah, i mean good chance we lose. nash doesnt have overwhelming dream team level talent. he will drastically hurt us with coaching in games like this.

But the thunder are awful and SGA is massively over rated.

We are down to one spacer in Kess lol.

Hopefully Harden continues his hot 3pt shooting then we might have a chance.

Harden 35+ triple double
Cam 20+
Kess 10+
Sharpe 15+

This would give us a W.

We are DOWN to 1 spacer.

At full strength they have 1 spacer (Kenrich Williams, 38%) and thats a low volume big.

Dort, Giddey, Shai, Beazley are all terrible from deep.

OKC is DEAD LAST in threes at a putrid 30.7%

even with all the guys out of the lineup, we still have a better shooting team then them tonight

Will see how this turns out. We are pretty ordinary at home regardless of who the opponents are. But I think the momentum from yesterday should carry on.

We are ordinary at home... very true.

They are 4-15 on the road. what would you describe that as?

SGA's efficiency is down from his usual numbers this season, but to call him a healthier LeVert is a huge reach. He's usually very efficient from the field.

Schedule loss. Harden is going to run out of steam. Only chance is if someone like Cam can get hot. No Mills, Durant, LMA, Harris. I mean we have no shooters

Blake was open under the basket but he ignored him just to get blocked under the rim.

If Duke Jr can consistently hit that shot he will be a solid pro

Duke is way too raw. Charging into the paint without any way to pass the ball out.
