OKC Thunder have a SPECIAL core, win Play-In game, as SGA/Dort/Giddey go off vs Pels



The Oklahoma City Thunder beat the New Orleans Pelicans on the road in the NBA Postseason Play-in Tournament! The OKC Thunder have a special core. The Thunder continue to defy the odds of what a young team is supposed to do. OKC saw Lu Dort step up in a massive game. How special is the core in Bricktown when the lights are the brightest? Josh Giddey proves the doubters wrong about his ability to play in the postseason. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander announces himself as one of the best players in the NBA again, and Jaylin Williams stays on the floor as a rookie big man. What should we expect from the game against Minnesota? How important was this win for the franchise? Mark Daigneault proves to be an elite coach again.

    I’m so proud of the team and am looking forward to seeing what kind of fight we put up against Minnesota with a playoff spot seeming a lot more like a real possibility for us now.

  6. twistedactinide

    This team is gonna be so fun to watch going into the future. Hope we can pull off another upset against the T-Wolves

  8. Heisenberg

    Love the content bro. This is gonna be a wild ride. Insane that we get to see this team with Chet next season although I do worry about J Wills spot. Ideally he plays back up to chet cause he was great today and has been all season. Was also great to see Dort go off. Playoff Dort is a real thing and he does not get enough respect.

  9. Dre

    SGA been amazing all year he's a legit MVP and 1st team all NBA player 💯

  14. Jay Woo

    It was a massive team performance. Giddy Shai and underrated Dort had an amazing game. So happy for this unbelievable young team.

  16. Jay Oxenham

    We were referred to as the 2nd youngest team throughout the national broadcast. I was thinking, did Houston get younger with the departure of Eric Gordon?

  17. Dark Donnie

    How good was Giddey last night? What a performance from the team. Should hopefully be knocking on the championship door in 2 tears if we keep up this trajectory. 😊

  18. Mark Way

    Josh Giddey has had a remarkable season, Most number of games played for the season, 2nd in points per game, 1st in rebounds per game, and 1st in assists per game not bad for a 20-year-old that people still think he is rubbish, and now on the biggest stage in the very first Play-in game of his young career comes up with nearly a 30+ point Triple Double. Loved the video lots of passion👍

  20. Miajay88

    For me, the best moment of the game was J Will holding back Giddey from confronting Josh Richardson after his below the belt elbow. That's a rookie making the heads up play on your sophomore star. That shows the culture of this club. From top to bottom, everyone is so 'poised' using Tim Legler's words. If Giddey confronts J Rich, Giddey could have been thrown out. These guys are way mature beyond their years. This bodes well for the team against the TWolves who you could say from a cultural perspective is the opposite to the Thunder. Go Thunder!! ⚡

  23. Kevin Scott

    In his last 2 PostSeason games, both facing elimination, Lu Dort dropped 57pts & hit 10 3pt'rs. While playing lockdown D' on Harden & Ingrahm.

  24. Kevin Scott

    This was Rylans best Pod, loved the excitement. Just like Coach D & our young players, Rylan steps up his game in PostSeason.

  25. inFamouskidd

    I loved seeing SGA going with the flow and not forcing things. Picking when to be aggressive and when to make the right play. Plus his defense was AMAZING!!!! Lu and Josh was a beast a well. GO OKC!!!

  26. antonio seabrook

    Can people now begin to SEE THE IMPORTANCE of Dort to this team? Let it play out, let him/them continue to develop.

  27. Chef Mane

    If I was gonna be the most negative person in the world, I would talk about how the refs didn’t give Shai his free throws to get his average points…oh wait🤣

  28. Nigel Samuel

    Was soo good today just to see the team, the coach & staff get everything ive been hoping for them for the last 3yrs get some…

  29. Cole Martin

    Giddey had the best game of his young career. I keep having to remember he’s 20, and it’s because his skill is just ridiculous. He was knocking down threes like he’s been a sharpshooter all season.
    Something that may go unnoticed is how Coach D and his staff prepped for the double teams the Pels threw at SGA. They consistently had Giddey posted in the middle of the key for a quick outlet. And it was the perfect move because Giddey made the right play from that position so many times. It was really cool to see that adjustment.

    I’ve been a fan of the Thunder since conception. I have to say once Harden, KD, PG, and Russ left I thought our days were numbered. But this team is something else! I love this version of the OKC Thunder more than any previous version. They aren’t flashy or stat driven. These young studs want to win at all cost.💪 ⚡️⚡️

  32. Kalan Hitchens87

    Jwills hook shot was nasty. Love them arkansas guys. Imma new okc fan cuz of him and isaiah joe.. and soon to be nick Smith Jr.. but how do they make the playoffs this season? Beat the Timberwolves and then what?

  33. Abhay

    Been watching you all season for a great day like this!! Thunder up baby

  34. William Christensen

    Several times during last nights game the tv crew said that the Thunder were the second youngest team in the NBA (second to Houston), were they wrong or are there different ways to measure this?

  36. BryanBuilt

    We get our win podcast!Great game ! 🎉 the team played well and looked like the more veteran team. And the way they held it together in crunch time when they were going bucket for bucket with the pels. 💪🏽💪🏽 .

    Just so you're aware: A little bit of the ending of the podcast was cut off, on the Tune-in app again.
    Great show. ThunderUp!
