The Oklahoma City Thunder declare themselves in a win over the Phoenix Suns, just as Sam Presti said he would let them. The OKC Thunder are in the midst of a season where they could escape the NBA Play-in tournament altogether if all goes right on this West Coast trip. How far can Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander take Oklahoma City this year? The Bricktown boys are seeing a great improvement from Josh Giddey in this key area, Lu Dort comes ALIVE in the third quarter. What do the NBA standings look like now?

1st 🧡🧡🧡💙🧡🧡🧡🩶🧡🧡🧡🧡💙🩶🧡🧡🧡🧡💙🧡🧡🧡🩶💙
When Joe hits that 3 off a giddey assist and the crowd erupts that felt like classic thunder basketball vibes⚡⚡
Honestly if we push to 5th seed somehow, Sga should be in the MVP conversations.
Yo my 35+ wins paid out wohooo haha. Called it at the start of the season 👍 Also now that Mike Muscala is out of the team isn’t this OKC team now the youngest again?
Some nice, recent Poku (OKC blue) highlights on YouTube now.
It's interesting, Rylan, that you refer to the fact that if we were discussing, let's say, the L.A. Lakers, then the "youngest team ever" making the play-offs would be huge basketball news. But because it's "only" Oklahoma City, then it's consigned to a few local blogs and barely rates a mention on U.S. national sports media. This bias, unfortunately, exists all over the world in multiple sports, be it soccer, baseball, Australian football etc A few big, influential clubs get ALL the media attention. For example, in English soccer it's all Man. United, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool etc. That attitude weakens the integrity of the sport and diminishes the impact of other clubs' achievements. So GO OKC!!
Just imagine: if OKC finishes 6th place then there would be GWS vs Mavs in the playins. That's just too hillarious.
in the first half, it was too much Shai centric as he took 16 shots.. Fourtnately in the second half, the ball was moving better and others got involved… SGA should be in the MVP conversation especially after carrying the second-youngest team to the brink of the playoff play-in…
I can't wait for Shai and the boys to show the clippers and the NBA THAT OKC IS COMING FOR THE 6TH OR 5TH SEED…. And it starts Tuesday against the clippers…. Next three games are absolutely massive.
Right now still watching their potential pick. Realistically at 8 -14 the obvious pick is Cason since the point position is critical and he is special and fearless.
I don’t get how Wiggins don’t get more minutes we jell so much better when he gets minutes on the floor… how is lindy waters getting in before him 🤷🏾♂️
Shai through some shade At Jdub last night In the interview after the game I thought that was a little messed up
SGA is MVP 💯
I enjoyed the Dickie V impression (at least I think that's who you were going for lol)
Chet Amen thompson and Zach edey gonna be crazy next year.
Once presti get this ring he gotta be the goat gm.
Wiggs is a great player. When he starts we win most games
The JJ Reddick podcast today?
This rebuild has sucked but if it's only 2 yrs of one man it be nice to be back Thunder fans have been spoiled bye having good teams for the most part since the move 15 years ago we've only really had 4 losing season that's actually kinda remarkable I've bagged on presti for yrs over the Harden trade thought he blew up our window cause we would of one it had he not blown up the core so fast worried about losing Harden for nothing when he decided to pay Serge instead but anyway 😢I thought the Giddy pick was horrible had not watched ton of tape on him but seen he wasn't a good shooter n was worried smh man I was wrong his shot is coming faster than I thought n he's already the best passer in the league n SGA becoming all NBA in my mind I never saw coming I thought 22 to 24 piece player not the kind to lead a team boy he took that leap this year when he goes to the hole he's unstoppable bro n then Jdub man I knew about him before the draft n thought he'd be a good solid rotation guy n that guys going to be a stud no doubt about it n Chet hasn't touched the floor and if we somehow do the unthinkable and get that 1 pick it's over but regardless where we pick i got no doubt with chet in the middle this is a top 5 D the future is looking like it's cloudy with tons of Thunder ⛈️ baby Thunder ⛈️⚡ up again bout to be playoff basketball 🏀 in the City 🏙️
