Shae with the block on Steph then coast to coast over CP. Changing of the guard.

Poor Klay is washed. Done
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

SGA offers to take the turnover for Williams but he refuses. That's unselfish basketball right there and not being concerned about stats.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Even if that was true which it isn't cause Jalen Williams exist that's a great 2 man core


I dont see the Jalen Williams hype

17/4/4 on 52/39/86

At the very least he's an elite role player 3/4th option

A few years ago all the hype was for Trae, then Ja as the new young guards. Now our Canadian hero has surpassed them both, and is a humble high character guy to boot.

OKC needs to thank Kawhi because if he doesn’t go to the Clippers, OKC doesn’t end up with Shai. OKC has so many good pieces plus future picks. I just have a feeling Presti is going to screw it up like he always does. Lol.

He has some serious talent. Okc may be the first ever successful tank in the modern nba. Lets see of he can do it!

Saw 8 blocks and wondered if he got 4 in one possession or something. Nope...

I'm well aware of his stats, I play fantasy basketball

I see the numbers as a result of the unimpressive supporting cast outside of Shai and Holmgren

I hope it works out as OKC has a great fan base. The easy part has been done now. Now they have to produce.

They're still very young. They don't need to produce anytime soon.

Other than SGA, who is still only 25. Everybody else that matters is on there rookie contract. Dort is 24 and then you essentially have a rookie, a 2nd year player, and a 3rd year player that round out there starting lineup.

Crazy to think they're starting lineup is 25, 24, 22, 21, 21.

They're 9 and 4. They'll be fine.

I hope the warriors keep losing and Wiggins continues bricking. Siakam’s value will increase. They’re one of the few teams that might actually push hard for a trade in such a scenario.

Oh definitely. Not saying they need to win the championship but they need to make the playoffs. Very bright future but expectations are higher now and will continue to get higher.

I can never get emotionally invested in a non-Raptors team but man, this current OKC team is a joy to watch. Result of good process and decision making. The polar opposite of whatever the hell Masai has been doing post-title.

Now we need someone of questionable character getting in his ear to bring him home.

The Thunder have a young contending core once again. Hopefully they don't cheap out on keeping them together this time.
