He's playing guard in the same decade as Luka. SGA could end up being the 3rd best player of the 2020s behind Luka and Jokic.

I said guard (obviously Jokic is better) and also "decent chance" but yeah it's gonna end up being SGA or Luka as the best guard in the decade. I like SGA odds because he's better than Luka right now and our team is more competitive but Luka playing style + being in LA could be a factor. Time will tell.

Luka is fat. Shai's is a better defender. I think Luka has the potential for greater offensive explosions.

I agree with this but he doesn’t even try to play defense and he is not humble (complains on every play) but his offense ability is amazing.

luka glazing should become unbearable now that he's a laker

For sure, the thing that might hurt the org is loosing two very good scouts.

Who did we lose, and to where?

I'm rooting hard for 70 wins. What are y'all thinking?

This teams deserves to be included in historically great teams. 70 games + chip is a solid argument for top all-time team. 69 + chip just doesn't feel the same.

I'd like to see it, but won't be bothered if we lose a couple. This team will go down as one of the greats regardless.

The thought that keeps popping into my head is that we are actually ahead of schedule and if you were forecasting where the peak run for this collection of talent would occur, we aren't even there yet. Obviously, motivations and priorities can change for players with detrimental effects, but there is every reason to believe that this group still has some more growth in it. The competition might get stronger over the coming seasons, but this group could dominate the NBA for the next 5+ years.

i think today's and suns game will be the toughest.

i think they'll absolutely try to make a statement vs lakers. demolition job barring a luka miracle

last two we should win with the bench

29-1 against the East and maybe the best net rating in the history of the NBA is already something (not sure that one is gonna happen because tough schedule and some rest in the last games). Also in the end titles matter most so yeah it would be cool to reach 70 wins but hope they don't play guys that need a bit of rest (don't think they will).

but yeah ultimately it would be great to reach 70 wins. I don't think we will have the chance to have that kind of record again even if our title window is wide open for at least 4-5 years.

Watch on YouTube

not watching tons of interviews and it's nothing crazy but I like listening to Caruso and JDub

Post #476 » by **Dadouv47** » Sat Apr 5, 2025 2:13 am

terrible game overall but at least JDub is playing really well on offense which is hopefully a great sign for the POs

bbms · Post #477 » by **bbms** » Sat Apr 5, 2025 2:15 am

this might have been the worst game dort has ever played as a thunder

if jalen green is playing well and adams is on, dort is just unplayable.

good screens + speed just burns dort. no idea why mike d kept him until the end

ill always bring up in these moments how i banged the drum for sengun at 6 in 2021 draft lol

Post #479 » by **Dadouv47** » Sat Apr 5, 2025 4:02 pm

btw coach D keeps starting Chet/Hartenstein...I don't like it. I thought it was an experiment a couple of weeks ago but now it really looks like it's gonna be our starting 5 comes playoff time.

hope it's just a lack of motivation because it's ugly to watch
