OKC Thunder 2023-24 Regular Season Discussion

If only The Funaki was fit and healthy...sigh

Bringing Mike Musk rat back shows Presti can be about old school loyalty.

Signing Biz, who was and is a poor mans Adams to do the dirty work in the post season shows there is a need for a big banger of the funaki type.

Jaylin, Biz and Chet are gonna get spanked by the ADs, Jokers, Nurks and Embiids of the playoffs...Adams wouldn't.

But yeah...he's injured. Oh well, moving right along. Wishful thinking and no need to comment further

Nothing to see here. As you were...

Mike is also very youthful for the locker-room. We need some veteran presence.

The media overreaction to that game was pretty annoying.

We know. You are wishfully thinking the Thunder will actively make themselves worse by getting players like Adams and Westbrook. You want your team to move up the pecking order in the West by the Thunder getting worse. Presti isn't smart enough to improve the team, but he isn't dumb enough to intentionally tank it.

Adams is better than Biz and yet...

Today Biz is better than Adams. Make an argument to the contrary found in reality. If you really do attempt to argue that a cheerleader, Adams' role this season, is better than someone that can participate in the game I will be entertained. It would fit right in with the basketball knowledge you have already demonstrated you posses.

When this team gets stops and in transition things look a lot easier.

Giddey had some awful possessions early being left unguarded and bricking shots or getting Turned-over.

Beating Kevin Durant. It doesn't get old.

Speaking of old, he’s showing it now.

Yeah. What is it exactly? He just doesn't have the same motor he once had it seems like.

I can't get over how little activity Gordon Hayward displays when he's out there. We might as well have kept Dieg in the lineup. Gordon's just a floater at this point.

Sometimes injuries that you recover from tend to start to reappearing when you get closer to 40. The fact that he came back from his injury and played as well as he did is amazing to me.

Let's talk about that 3rd quarter collapse a bit. I was disappointed in SGA during that run. As a top MVP candidate he needs to put the team on his back during moments like that, but he seemed way too passive and willing to give the ball up. I'd like to see a little more selfishness on his part in those moments.

In the 4th he did that, but would like to see him recognize the need for it earlier when the team was blowing a 22 point lead.

Great win though, showed a lot of poise in that 4th quarter.

They got worse at the deadline. I'm not sure I would call it tanking. They didn't trade Lauri, but did trade Olynyk. They were bad to begin with and have one of the hardest schedules the rest of the way. They had that unexplainable hot streak the start of January, but outside of that they have been terrible all year.

Improve your grammar and spelling, then I'll take you seriously.

You really should have spent more time in class than on the court!

I'm really tired of Giddey...

Old Man Game · Post #2400 » by **Old Man Game** » Tue Mar 5, 2024 4:43 am

We shot 30.6% in the first half. Lakers shot 52.5%. It's amazing we aren't down 20.
