The return of Chetneck puts this squad over the top and fills their glaring weakness from last year.. My prediction: top 3 seeding...I can see them supplanting Memphis in the pecking order with all their injuries and star disarray.

The length of this starting 5 is insane.

if they are a top-3 seed, that will position them well for a good playoff run.. hope you're right! :)

p.s. hope it's shai vs luka in western finals. :)

All boils down to health. They're far too versatile and talented defensively to not finish near the top of the West. Really hoping Chet can keep it together. If so, I think they could be a definite title contender within the next 2-3 years. My only current concern is bench depth (particularly offensively), but I think they'll continue filling it out. They're going to be a very enticing destination for free agents going forward with the core they're building.

[indyguy]

I took OKC for 45 wins+ on the season.

I feel like they can match what Sacramento did last season with 48 wins.

[Spacemanspif]

1-0. Spread was +2.5 and won by 20. I don’t place bets but I would hammer that over as well. Might take a year or two to build muscle and make playoff runs but this squad is going to run teams out of the gym during the regular season.

[Ferg1945]

Games played: 1

Times opposing teams have a players only meeting after a loss: Also 1

OKC Thunder were so good the Chicago Bulls players had a players only meeting after the game. :eek: The first game of the season. The Bulls returned the top 7 players based on minutes played from last season and they gotta talk already?

Not sure I've ever heard about a players only type meeting after the first game of a season. Does Billy Donovan make it to Thanksgiving?

Donovan was longing for the team on the other side after that game...
The Thunder were relentless.

Good call - need to place some small bets. :)

I really like the demeanor of this team.
They will not go 82-0, but I can feel their focus is on bigger things that lie ahead - The front office, coaching staff and players are on a mission.

[brothertona]

They have the picks to acquire basically anyone in the league, they are my likely Embiid destination even if they don't need him at all.

[jcardstore]

They have so much talent and so many picks it's really hard to wrap your head around.

At this point they almost have too much.

Jalen is so much better than people thought, Chet has so much potential if he can bulk a bit and stay healthy, Shai is an MVP caliber player, add in a bunch of really good role players and the future is about as bright as any team.

My hot take is 50 wins this season. You can grab them to make the playoffs at -160 right now which I think is a no brainer.

[Spacemanspif]

2-0. Again beat spread and money line, on the road against one of the greatest franchises in history, in the “greatest state to live” as voted unanimously by every media outlet to ever exist.




I might have to sign up for Fanduel or one of those betting apps before the lines move too much

[al3xmac10]

love that this type of loss happened early in the season.
looking forward to the rematch with the Nuggets.

It was a nice early gauge of exactly where they're at in the championship pecking order. No shame in getting run out the gym by the defending Yokers.

I still think they have the capability of being a 2nd round squad this year given a favorable matchup.

But that bench needs some bolstering.

(always love your eloquent insights ninja!)

Yes, with the mindset of this organization, they will bounce back, and be better.
Case in point: A great win over the upstart Pistons last night. :D

[JustinVerlander07]

Big on Thunder this year, ninja is right on the bench, for how deadly and young that starting 5 is/looks, that bench is really mid. (to be nice), no doubt if they want they can beef it up though given they have a million 1st round picks at their disposal.

who would be a perfect, gettable supporting piece?

hmmm.... preferably, I want someone who can shoot, dribble & pass, and compete at both ends.

I don't like Buddy Hield, since it compromises their defense, and his salary is too high...

Maybe someone from teams with too much players - Utah? Brooklyn?

Bogdanovic stands out as a nice piece that in theory should be available, but Pistons seem far too attached to him.

I would prefer the Hawks' Bogi, just because he is younger;
His contract is basically for the midlevel...

[Spacemanspif]

It's a little early to be thinking about trades or team needs. Remember of their main 8 man rotation: Chet and Cason are rookies that have 4 games under their belts, Jalen and Dieng are 2nd year guys, and Giddey is in his 3rd year. There's still so much room for growth within this group and the only way they'll learn and get better is by playing (not sitting and watching some vet take their minutes and shots).

The entire team seems bought in on the process, understanding they're going to build this thing step by step and aren't going to be actively looking to trade for anyone. With that said, I feel like Presti is smart enough to capitalize if a distressed asset becomes available (my main target is still Bam now that Giannis is locked up). I think if anything they could use a big who can take pressure off Chet and play his role if he gets in foul trouble or injured. If / when Minnesota implodes they have some interesting pieces. Guys like Naz Reid or Slo Mo would fit right in, and of course it would be awesome to pair up SGA and NAW. Probably a better discussion for next year after seeing how much the young guys are able to improve

[ninjacookies]

Case in point: A great win over the upstart Pistons last night. :D

https://media.tenor.com/cr50FOUykvQAAAAd/nodding-head-feeling-it.gif

Couple names I'd like to see them make a run for in the offseason to help fill out their bench depth:

GTJ: 3&D guy, still young...lethal when hot
Tyus Jones: great off the bench spark and gameflow manager...knows his role and doesn't play outside of it
Olynyk: not much upside here, but has a lot of playoff experience and is a great floor spacer for the second unit. his price should be attractive enough that it won't be a roster construction deterrent

I think Gary Trent Jr. will be gettable, just because the Raptors have lots of questions moving forward with upcoming contract negotiations.


Now blitzing the Cavs - they are just so fun to watch.

[al3xmac10]

...oh, and it is looking like Cason Wallace is a better option than any veteran guard that might be available...

[ninjacookies]

Now blitzing the Cavs - they are just so fun to watch.

Such a beautiful brand of basketball. And defend hard on all areas of the floor. They are on my nightly must-watch list!

[al3xmac10]

These guys are already bigger than 1% of the human beings on earth, but Chet is playing on a nerf hoop.

(And how did Shai score 43???)

[al3xmac10]

Nice bounceback win on the road! :flex:

Shai & J-Will will pummel the opposing team into submission :D

[bywayofvintage]

Chet vs Wemby tonight

[al3xmac10]

Chet vs Wemby tonight

I think Shai, Jalen, Josh & Lu will make sure that Chet wins tonight. :D

[duron]

[chompie99]

This team is really fun to watch. It will be interesting to see how far they can go this year. Hopefully the injury bug won’t be as bad as it can be sometimes. Always the wild card.

[tcdyess]

The one thing I worry about with them is being so young... I loved the move Houston made with getting Vanvleet... he brings a calming presence to the young players... Shai is one of the top 5 talents in the game imo, but he is still very young and I haven't seen the total leadership from him as of yet, I know it will come. I agree with an above statement that they are also at the point of having too much... they are playing a ton of players and i think as the season moves on they need to settle on a solid 8 or 9 getting the minutes... their bench is deep and young and they have so many picks coming. part of me wants to see a trade for a big that can rim protect and move chet to the 4. i have watched about every game they have played for the last 3 years now and am glad people are now seeing how much fun and how talented they are... i had them at around 46 wins this year which now seems a bit low, but they have so many players getting better at the same time.. it's actually incredible to watch... Go Thunder!!! And this from a life long Nuggets fan.... Have a good Holiday to all..

[oldgoldy97]

Such a fun team.

[al3xmac10]

the dorture chamber

[al3xmac10]

big test today.
Let's go Thunder.

[chompie99]

Led big in Dallas, then survived a 30-0 run and trailing by 6 late in 4th quarter to win anyway. Quite a recovery.

[Kobefan]

I don't understand why SGA isn't taking more shots in this game. Took only 13 shots and still shoot at better FG% than the team average.

[jcardstore]

The flow of the game. You don’t want him forcing up shots just cause. This is what good teams do, when their best player isn’t putting up a ton of shots the rest of the team distributes them evenly

[Kobefan]

He'll hardly be forcing shots when he is shooting better than the team on average. It's understandable if a certain teammate has the hot hand and he's feeding him, but that's not the case, since much of the shots were somewhat evenly distributed amongst the better and worse shooters of the night. Having an evenly scoring load sounds good on papers, but how often does a championship team (I hope they're striving for one) have an evenly distributed scoring load? The last one I remembered was the Pistons and that's mostly because it was a defensive power-house. Most title winning teams have 2-3 players taking majority of the shots.

I think Shai made all the right reads, and all the winning plays, that made them come out on top.

I love Luka as well, but OKC was better as a team for 48 minutes.

Rarely, but if you look at the box Shai is almost always the leading shot taker. You only need to spread it out once in a while

[GOATcards]

seriously I looked at "OKC" and thought "jOKiC"

[Kobefan]

Rarely, but if you look at the box Shai is almost always the leading shot taker. You only need to spread it out once in a while

What about tonight's game? SGA is one of the most efficient shot maker in tonight's game and most of his teammates are shooting bricks, he should be much more aggressive.

[chompie99]

This is definitely still a young team, but they seem to have trouble with Houston. Houston looks better this year so far, but still seems like the Thunder should have some advantage. Basketball is variable.

[indyguy]

What about tonight's game? SGA is one of the most efficient shot maker in tonight's game and most of his teammates are shooting bricks, he should be much more aggressive.

They got out rebounded by 23 and gave up 21 more points via 3s than what they made.

He scored 33 points on 18 shots and 9 FTs. You're not going to win all of them.

[jcardstore]

What about tonight's game? SGA is one of the most efficient shot maker in tonight's game and most of his teammates are shooting bricks, he should be much more aggressive.

He took 5 more shots than anyone else. What is it that you want from Shai?

Should he be taking 30 shots a game?

He’s so efficient because he picks his spots and takes good shots. If you’re asking him to force more his efficiency is going to go down

That's a lot? Considering he's the sole star in the team, taking 18 shots is not a whole lot, especially when he's shooting 72.2 FG% and the whole team shoots at 42.5 FG%, while the opposing team shoots at 48.2% FG. I'm not asking for 30 shots every night, but at a night with such efficiency, he should be taking 25 shots and scoring 40+ points, in order to give his team a shot at winning. It's like what some analyst say, when there's a mismatch, give the ball to the guy with the advantage, when someone has the hot hand, give him the ball.

[jcardstore]

Are we ok with Shai’s game today? lol he took 30 shots so I hope so.

[Kobefan]

Are we ok with Shai’s game today? lol he took 30 shots so I hope so.

Not we, just my opinion, and yes, I'm ok with this. They won the game and he has good FG% with those 30 attempts.

[Kobefan]

Anybody else thinks that OKC needs to make a trade soon? They have way too many picks coming up and they can't develop them all, and they need to address their weakness in rebounding.

[oldgoldy97]

I don’t think soon. But eventually. They probably feel like they want to see how this group grows together and see if the current success is sustainable.

[Kobefan]

I don’t think soon. But eventually. They probably feel like they want to see how this group grows together and see if the current success is sustainable.

They already have lots of young guys to develop and in this upcoming draft, they have 5 picks, and in the following year, they have 7 picks. I don't see any reason to keep the picks. Would be better to trade for someone to make immediate contribution or consolidate into a 1st or 2nd pick.

[chompie99]

Notable win at Denver with Shai hitting last second shot. Time will tell but the Thunder have seemingly arrived as a serious contender. It’s a long season though.

[al3xmac10]

With Clippers @Thunder, this will be referenced a lot today:

[al3xmac10]

OKC was not ready for the Lakers today;
Still, 18-9 and 3rd in the West is incredible. :D

Hope they bounce back versus Minny next... :flex:

[chompie99]

Nice solid win against T-Wolves. Shai was a monster and he had a lot of help. Team is starting to realize what could be.

[Kobefan]

Great game, but one big weakness is rebound. They should try to trade for Lauri.

[Thunderdunk]

This Thunder team is legit...

[OJMayo32]

Great game, but one big weakness is rebound. They should try to trade for Lauri.

If trading with the Jazz I rather trade for Walker Kessler. Scoring is not OKC's problem, its their size, rebounds and interior defense. Chet is nice but they need a true defense big to anchor them inside.

[Kobefan]

But Lauri also adds 3-point shooting ability to the team aside from the rebounds. Anyway, I think the Thunders need to do something with the picks by the coming off season, otherwise, what are they going to do with 5 draft picks for 2024 and 7 picks and 1 swap for 2025? Too many guys to develop.

[Spacemanspif]

Pass on Lauri and Kessler. Just because they're the best players available doesn't mean you need to waste assets on them. Getting one of those guys may make the team marginally better, but ultimately doesn't change anything. Team may win an extra 4 games this season? Cool. Likely 2nd round exit? Probably still the case, and those guys aren't going to change that.

There's only a handful of guys that will change the trajectory of this team into "true title contenders". Giannis would have been great if the Dame trade didn't come through. Bam is my ideal guy although Miami is never bad enough to think about blowing it up. AD is a possibility if LeBron leaves after this season. I'm not a Myles Turner guy but he's a better fit than either of the Utah guys. Other than that, it's just marginal improvements at best.

Holding the assets and waiting for the right guy to become available is the right move. Especially since this is still a learning / development year for Chet & JDub. I would not pay Giddey and prefer to move him and Dort along with picks for a legit star. Picks can always be consolidated or rolled forward

Honestly, I want SGA to stay as the alpha player of the team, so I'm not so sure how I feel about Giannis, and I don't like the idea of trading for old stars with injury history. Almost anything decent is better than doing nothing with the picks. They are going to have a large amount of gluts in incoming players and not enough spaces and minutes for them. So if they are not going to trade the picks, hopefully they'll at least consolidate or roll forward, as you said, rather than drafting new players.

[chompie99]

The wrong fit could potentially mess with the chemistry of the team. I understand the points others are making but the team at present works really well together. It will be interesting to see what moves will be made. Presti has a history of making sound decisions, though not always popular.

[Thunderdunk]

Thunder Up 20 PTs through 3 Quarters at Denver. :cool:

[chompie99]

Thunder Up 20 PTs through 3 Quarters at Denver. :cool:

And that’s two in Denver adding to wins against the Clippers and the T-Wolves.

Boston in OKC next week.

[Spacemanspif]

30 games in. 5th best record, 3rd best net rating, best road record, Shai leading the league in steals, 3rd in scoring, Chet 4th in blocks, Big 3 all close to 50/40/90. Exceeding all expectations, I don’t even know what the ceiling is once they consolidate some of the picks and depth.

[Kobefan]

They just need better rebounds. Hard to imagine playoff success if the team is one of the worst rebounding team in the league.

[al3xmac10]

I know this is sacrilege, but these Thunder play a little... Spursy.

[al3xmac10]

Great team win versus the Nets.

22-9, BOS coming to OKC in 48 hours.
This will be a great matchup. :)

[oldgoldy97]

And they just shot a higher percentage from 3 than 2.

They need a big if anything like OJ said.

[Thunderdunk]

Thunder up 13 over Boston through 3 quarters

SGA going off! 14 for 19 / 33 Points so far.

[al3xmac10]

Great team win!

here are their next 9 games:

1/3 @ATL
1/5 @BKN
1/8 @WSH
1/10 @MIA

1/11 vs POR
1/13 vs ORL

1/15 @LAL
1/16 @LAC
1/18 @UTA

...they might be 30-11 (or better) at the halfway mark of the season.

[chompie99]

Thunder outlast the Celtics. Lots of good lessons learned. Good win despite losing large lead. There’s still a long way to go. Hopefully the improvement will continue.

[chompie99]

After the Celtics, there was bound to be a letdown. High-scoring loss to the Hawks on a back to back. Start of an extended road trip.

[chompie99]

After 2 losses, Thunder come back with the win in Washington. Wasn’t best performance but got it done.

Couple of interesting stats/info about Jalen Williams and Chet :cool:

[jcardstore]

+37 with a 142 offensive rating

This lineup is crazy
https://i.imgur.com/0eAt3Gc.png

[Thunderdunk]

They are amazingly efficient. The Thunder also are on pace to break the Free Throw % as a team record!

Additionally I think Chet and Wemby are going to be great for years to come, but thought this was an interesting stat as well.

Chet Holmgren has more games shooting 60%+ (13), then Victor Wembanyama does shooting 50%+ (11)

[GOATcards]

do they have enough depth to go far in playoffs? Below are DPM numbers although SGA's still seems much too low even if regressed (he's still ranked at around #15 in the NBA in DPM)

Thunder beat Minnesota for the second time this season. Still hanging close to top seed in the west.

Saw a cool pic of Chet having his HS number retired and the entire team was with him.

Everyone was smiling…but Chet :cry:

Thunder win 4th straight over the Spurs in SA. Tied for first in Western Conference with a little over half the regular season completed. Next couple months should be interesting.

No. 1 in the West :flex:

LET'S GO THUNDER!

They were getting smoked in the 1st Half last night against Miami and came back in the 2nd and crushed them. SGA and Jalen Williams are next level. SGA tied the Thunder record for most 30pt games in a season last night(47). He really should be the MVP. Chet has hit a rookie wall at the moment but if I had to guess he will power through and regain form.

What a dream season, I had them as a 4/5 seed at the start of the year. No way did I think they would be sitting on top of the west in March. So cool to see!

Why not?

He's literally the definition of the MVP.

He's lead his team to the top of the West. Nobody saw that coming.
