2024-2025 OKC Thunder Games Thread

Yes the cavs demolished us in the dunker spot it was way to easy. I still think towns is real lazy, but he could, can be a force. I sure hope Chet gets healthy, I believe we match up better against the cavs with him. D Mitchell is not a superstar like sga. Shai is for sure in my belief the best player to ever wear a thunder jersey. Dedicated, hard working, mentally tough, the closest player that reminds me of mj.

To be fair to towns , he’s on some heavy minutes right now.

He’ll probably dive for a loose ball during warmups and be out another month.

looks like Chet lost a ton of muscles. Small odds he comes back this week but it would be stupid to rush it.

No Maxey, PG or Embiid against us. Good for our pick I guess (if it conveys)

Well maybe not sixers can’t lose to many games because the pick is top 6 protected.

I just can't see them really tanking with Embiid/PG13/Maxey. They will most likely fight for a playin spot.

76ers are in a really bad spot. They have talent, but it can't stay healthy. You aren't going to get those guys to buy into tanking when they believe that if healthy they can win in the playoffs. I expect them to be just healthy enough the pick likely conveys with a slim chance of the ping pong balls gifting them the #1 draft pick. I think the pick ending up in the 9-12 range is likely. The Houston and LAC picks are nothing to get excited about. The Jazz pick isn't conveying. If they end up with the 76ers and Heat picks this year I'm not sure what Presti does on draft night. I'm assuming he'd find the guy he likes and try to move up to get them or move some of the 1st round picks for future picks. Adding three first round picks, Miami, 76ers and OKC.LAC/Hou doesn't make a lot of sense on the team given that you'll have Topic as a rookie next year already.

The Heat pick is starting to look interesting for 2026, assuming they end up in the lottery this year. Given the trade limitations in the CBA it isn't going to be easy for them to move Jimmy Butler without taking back problematic contracts. They might just bench him for the rest of the year. I don't see Miami intentionally tanking, but they could end up a lottery team next year and the pick will be unprotected.

Hey kizz this is one of the few times I completely agree with you. This just makes the most since. I think hope Sam just moves those pick farther down the road or consolidate for a really good pick or a good shooting big or pf.

We need to sign another big just in case Hart/Chet miss time in the playoffs. Jwill is a great guy but he isn't good enough

LOL @ Dort offensive skill now. Dude making some pull up mid range shots

[Dadouv47]

Part of me is enjoying the season but I'm also so worried about the postseason because this should be our season. Shai playing at the same level as he did in his last playoffs and our team to stay healthy could be more than enough to win the title.

Never felt this was our year before even in the KD/WB era because there were some incredible teams like Miami heat big 3/Spurs/Warriors. Boston is still really elite but somehow I think we match up pretty well against them and we are just so so good.

[ThunderBolt]

I just want to see this team get healthy and have a chance to gel.

Seems like we plan to Branden Carlson our way through the playoffs .

I don’t believe a lot of what presti says but I take to believe his comments from last years exit interviews about the thunder struggling to add players (Hayward) mid season. Not that the thunder can’t, but that they likely won’t.

the thunder hadn't had a turnover battle win better than +5 in the new year. they had been struggling a bit with turnovers by their standards since the 1st knicks game, and were only +2 against cleveland a week ago. last night we finally saw a return to form, we were +9 in the first half and the results speak for themselves.

i think that we have been dipping into the isaiah hartenstein playmaking well a bit too often lately, which has caused the team to be more turnover prone than usual.

[Big nick]

The game last night was a statement game for sure. Total control the whole game I was worried about the game with IH injured but was in awe how we played. Dort was on fire and that pull up jumper was amazing. Sga should be a runaway for the mvp no doubt.
