Shai was struggling early in the Denver series but damn since game 5 of that series and in this one he's a an absolute beast. Chet is finding his rythm too and so is JDub... If they play the same way against Indiana there's no way we are gonna lose. Just hope they won't feel the pressure too much.

I’m allowing myself to be vulnerable.

Presti very very serious...probably thinking that he still needs 4 more wins to earn Kizz's respect

Still need see how he draft . This is not a one year thing.

I'm so proud of the boys. What a great privilege, to be fan of this young team who is non stop fighting and playing mad defense.
Now we prepare for the finals, home court advantage is ours. Thunder Up!

I’m thought when I bought a new hoodie that would be the kiss of death. Love wearing it and walking my dog here in Seattle. 8-)

He’s as close to a perfect superstar as we could ever hope for. He’s humble, focused and the greatest Thunder player ever imo.

a few thoughts about our players and team (trying not to act like they are all the best in the world):

1) Never been more impressed about Shai than what he has done since game 5 in the Denver series.I was complaining a lot about him and I think he deserved some blame because he wasn't having it but I have no clue what happened but he started playing smarter, better and his BBIQ is off the chart right now. His leadership is also very very impressive and he looks like an old vet that went there before. I trully hope he can play like this in the Finals and if so it's gonna be very difficult to beat us

2) Chet has that "dog" in him. I kind of hate that stupid sentence that is sometimes used too often by young fans but you can see how motivated he's and somehow he's scareless since game 4 in Minny. I also don't know what changed for him to gain that confidence on offense but it's a game changer to us.

3) I still have mixed feelings about jDub on offense. He showed he can be the second best player on a contender but he has some amazing nights and some very bad ones. Gotta hope he can show up in the Finals because the difference in his scoring is what made this series so much easier than against the Nuggets.

4) Caruso/Dort/Cason are all amazing. They obviously have some flaws but they are bringing what we need. Cason still not confident enough on the offensive end but when he can hit 3's that's fine enough.

5) Hartenstein is so important because we need to rest Chet sometimes and he brings some toughness to this team. Just a key piece despite not being as good as the others mentioned above.

6) My only real disappointment is that we have less depth than I thought: Isaiah Joe is feeling the pressure way too much and can't make shots while being a liability on defense and for some reason Wiggins is struggling as well too. Never saw him shooting airball 3 like he did and it was ugly to watch.
The only good side about our depth is that depending on match up we can play either Jwill or Kenrich. In a series against Indiana I think Kenrich can have a decent role (Jwill is too slow against that Pacers squad).

Oh yeah and I'm old enough to remember that a stupid Hornets journalist called us the black eye of the NBA and that some Raptors fans came here to propose Gary Trent Jr, salay filler and two FRPs for Shai
