OKC Thunder

I don't feel like the Thunder played a great game either. SGA was kind of out of it for the first time in a long time.
Lakers started out great but couldn't keep it up. AR will have to play a lot better to have a chance
Both Austin and Marcus had subpar shooting nights. The Thunder, unlike most NBA teams, actually play defense.
 
Whether you are a thunder fan or laker fan, I think every one can agree that was one of the worst officiated games I've seen in a long time.
 
Laker fans should be embarrassed right now with how their team and coach is acting
 
Another great 2nd half last night for the good guys. If I'm the Lakers, I'm tearing up that roster and building around Luka. I would let Reaves and LeBron walk. I would probably keep Hachimura and Kennard. Ayton is interesting. He has the talent, but has doesn't have the "dog" in him.....but he is cheap (relatively speaking). They need to go out and get athletes/defense.
 
So Thunder fans, would you rather face The Timberwolves or The Spurs?
I would much rather face the Wolves....by a wide margin. Spurs are almost as deep as the Thunder.....they don't drop off much with their bench guys either.
 
So who will The Thunder draft with their number one pick? Some draftniks are saying 6-10 Yaxel Landenborg from Michigan.



?
 
Wemby just had a 40-20 game. Can The Thunder match up with him? 🤔
He literally is a cheat code. Reminds me of the newer NBA jam game when you could get a power up that made you taller.

That was a really really tough loss for the Thunder. Wasted a legendary Caruso game. On the other hand, Chet was bad. SGA couldn't have played worse.
Overall all though, I think we played well defensively outside of wemby (what a back breaking logo 3)

I'm taking solice in that fact that the thunder lost game one against denver and indiana last year. And we've seen the opposite side as well in 2012 where we one game one of the finals and then didn't win another game.

So very nervous for tomorrow but still optomistic as well
 
Just think: The Spurs tanked to get David Robinson, then they tanked to get Tim Duncan, then they tanked to get Wemby. NOW The NBA is going to punish teams that tank, and yet The Spurs have been rewarded three times. Three times!
 
The Spurs got a split in two road games in Oklahoma City. This makes game three vital for The Thunder. It's going to be a rough and bruising game.
 
Wemby only took fifteen shots last night. He had zero offensive rebounds. The Thunder are playing physical ball, and he doesn't like it.
 
Really surprised by that performance.

The bench this year has been huge and a big improvement from last year
 
Thunder this year are so much better than last year as a team. Just so many guys on the bench are better this year over last year. Caruso maybe isn't better but he's just a stud. Getting Jared McCain for basically nothing was a complete steal. He's taking minutes away from Isaiah Joe who is way better than he was last year.
 
Thunder with 82 points. That wasn't just a loss, it was an ugly loss. Coach Mark has just got to get Chet involved.


Among other things...
 
Big win last night. OKC definitely got the whistle last night but I don't think it is as bad as social media is making it out to be.

Plumlee's cheap shot needs to be dealt with
