The Oklahoma City Thunder are poised to have one of the best defenders in the NBA. Mark Daigneault is always able to maximize the OKC Thunder on defense, but now, with Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, Lu Dort, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the fold for the Thunder defense, it is going to be a special year. The Bricktown boys have more pests on defense than bad defenders. Their offense will be much improved with some key tweaks. The core four looked as good as advertised. Josh Giddey has the potential for a leap. Can the Thunder be a top-six seed in the Western Conference? Do not miss out on this Thunder team.

How did Dieng play? I only get to see the highlights.
Just a matter of time until the Wiggins party starts 🎉
I think my 2 teams OKC &.Nets have the 2 best D's. They each have 3 star defenders: Dort, Chet, SGA, JDub, Kenny, JWill, Wiggins, Wallace Dieng, Joe. NTM Poku..Nets: Bridges/Claxton/Simmons are the best big 3 in league. Then DFS, Dennis Smith Jr, Cam Johnson, Royce O'Neale & ofc Darius Bazely.
The rotation coming into form. Dieng 1st big off bench. I.Joe 1st Guard. Then Kenny. Thats 8Man. Wiggins is our sparkplug when we need it. C.Wallace should be in the GLeague after getting his 8 game look. So he knows what to work on. But Coach D loves him so who knows. Bertans will get his 6 min stretch most nights where he unloads 4 or 5 3pt'rs quickly. JWill will get some min. If Cason is sent down then Micic has min slotted for him. But if Wallace stays up Im not sure if Vasa can get consistent minutes
Dieng just needs to speed his play up and he will be crazy good. He moves really slow imo
No. Less than 44 wins.
I really like dub. I remember the draft analysis you guys had on the pod. I believe it was mass draft that said j dub was the best player off of the pick and roll he had seen in 22. Especially as a passer. We are already seeing it. He loves to throw the lob! Gunna be fun! Thunder up!
Did you know Twitter is no longer the name….it's called X now.
We’ve discussed it for months now as a community, but last night it really came into focus for me just how many GOOD basketball players we actually have. So many guys deserving of minutes that could swing a game in our favor in their own unique way any given night. It’s a great problem to have as an organization and proves Sam’s ability to collect talent that fits well, but the coaching staff sure has their work cut out for them.
I want giddey to bulk up. He’ll never be the most athletic no matter what he does. However he can impact the game as a pseudo enforcer. Him being one of the strongest in the league at 6’8” will push him over the edge.
