certainly the best half of the season. All players were good but Shai and Chet looked unreal.

13/19 from 3’s in a half is purely insane. Once the 3’s start cooling down the Suns will make their run and possibly win.

I'm legit happy for Suns fans that they are playing good basketball this season but...nope won't happen

In my mind it already happened.

there are three thunder guards at the top 10 of 2025/26 single season rapm: shai (1), caruso (2), cason (7). ajay just bubbled at 11, then chet at 25.

caruso and cason are so good. hope the thunder keep them forever.

I just want to keep the same roster for 50 years (we can trade Dieng though). I thought it was tough to move on from the KD/WB/Ibaka era but it's nothing compared to when this stuff will end. It's like we are living in a dream tbh and I just hope it can last a while.

i think all our insane rankings have to be taken with a small grain of salt considering our historically weak strength of schedule through 25 games, but it is still encouraging that we are top 5 in drb% all of a sudden and have also climbed into the top 3 in shot making. if we can even be an above average defensive rebounding team without sacrificing any shot making it makes us a lot less brittle against certain potential playoff opponents.

you are totally right and I think we will lose more games than some think because we have a tough schedule remaining but I care more about the way we play than the wins and that's what I'm the most happy about. Ball movement improved a lot, offensive impact from many players as well. It's a long list but overall I think every Thunder player outside of JDub are playing better this season and the team chemistry improved even more.

I lost 50 bucks on this game. Thanks a lot for being unstoppable Thunder. I won’t forget it when our teams meet each other in the playoffs.

spend your money to buy a Chet jersey and become a Thunder fan. We love the old fans who suffered through tough seasons but every new fan is welcome here.

That would mean I’d abandon my Suns team since becoming a loyal fan over two + decades ago. I keep telling myself we are due for a dynasty soon, but Sarver and Ishbia manage to ruin my fantasy. I might take up knitting as it’s less stressful than basketball.

I'm so happy Chet is showing up how good he's. Somehow people forgot how skilled he's because he came back not a 100% from injury last season. Health is a major issue for him of course and he wouldn't be a franchise player because he doesn't have the scoring skill like a KD or another skilled "big" but he would be a top tier option 2 on a championship roster for sure. I still think there's a decent chance he has a better career than JDub depending on injuries (and I love both).

Health permitting I think both would be fairly similar range of player for rest of career. We are lucky to have either . Luckier still to have both

I hope we will have some learning from the game in L.Vegas. First our coach didn't react on Wemby's entering in the game. I think Chet and and especially IHart would have done a better job against the Spurs star than it did JWil. Than I think that JDub had a very poor game. Too selfish an impressed by the bling bling from Vegas. Poorly 20 assists says a lot that the ball didn't turn around from the whole team. Lu became more and more a problem offensively.

[Zagor]

I agree with everything you said.

It's hard to explain how bad Dort, Jaylin Williams and Wiggins were. Especially Dort.
1-6 three point stats, he was a big liability in offense.

We have same old problems. Three point shot in the important road games. It's hard to win against very good opponent when you make just 20 percent of threes.
