    One of these games I’d love to see Thunder close with Chet. We just use him as a corner and clean up unicorn in closing time for contested impossible layups. Great game nonetheless! Fuck the CAVS!

  3. RaffyDisappeared

    shai is him. chet is him. jdub is him. cason and dort are him too

  5. marion_and_beau

    Giddey is a problem that can no longer be ignored. I said that Cason is widening the gap between them game over game, and I’m 100% right. Giddey is a below average starter, and it’s time that a certain sector of this sub stop babying him. Straight up.

    Downvote me all you want, but nobody can legitimately argue that Josh Giddey is better than Cason Wallace.

  6. ahrumah

    Ngl, mark putting Giddey back in just for the inbound after the game was already in hand is kinda cold

  8. Rockstar408

    Solid win. We gotta do a better job of not letting teams back into it though, it’s a bit frustrating.

    Giddey has lost all his confidence now man, we gotta get him going again.

  9. BATTlNS0N

    I FUCKING LOVE THUNDER BASKETBALL 🏀 ⚡️⚡️

  12. amari_prince

    Offensive flow was disgusting midway thru the 3rd onwards, mainly due to the refs just being whistle happy. But man, our offense looked much better with Giddey out. Shai, Dort, Dub, Caso and Chet was a hardcore lineup on both ends.

  13. lmaoooyikes

    Shooting 3/5 from 3 and holding the current scoring leader to 8-23 shooting, respect Dort

  14. Impressive-Law-7414

    What’s crazy is that our record could be 7-1

  15. Wakandaforever456

    Shai is MVP.
    Chet is far better than Mobley.
    Dort is a grinder.
    This is a dangerous playoff team

  16. johnnyd3255

    The score is rather flattering. That’s unfortunate… For Cleveland!

  17. MakeCocktailsNotWar

    We won AND didn’t get ouT rebounded…

    ![gif](giphy|8msX3NBCjOSygOZrxH)

    TTFU!!! ⚡ ⚡ ⚡

  18. RobotCowboyAlien

    Sad to say I don’t see Giddey working out for us long term, but I guess that’s one less player to worry about paying. He seems like his ceiling is a bench point guard.

  19. mellamosatan

    good hold at the end against a veteran team coming off a 50+ win season. shai yet again showed he’s able to step up huge and put up 40+

  21. anpiex1x

    First time this season I’ve felt we were just straight up the better team. Let’s GOOOOOO THUNDER

  22. arj328

    Good things:

    – Shai.
    – Dort had Spida in JAIL.
    – They couldn’t play Jarrett Allen too much because Chet was giving him buckets.
    – Ousmane Dieng played big and moved the needle today. Plus he shot that step back 3 which was a wild shot but I love the spirit.
    – Cason continues to be an impact player. Gave Garland fits one on one and was getting really efficient buckets on the other end. Really am impressed by him.
    – JDub in the 4th
    – Giddey’s rebounding and passing this game
    – JWill was back to the boom today

    Not So Good Things:
    – Dub, Chet, and Giddey at the top of the 4th was the most offensively listless line up of the night for the second game in a row. It feels like when the three of them are in together, none of them really want to shoot it unless it’s a mediocre to bad shot.
    – Dort’s drives were looking real last season-ish.
    – Davis Bertans is just a folding chair on defense
    – Giddey needs to shake something up scoring wise because this was yet another rough game. He did has a mismatch on Garland that he abused once, but I swear again he needs to have 1 more scoring avenue other than driving or shooting a spot up shot.
    – JDub was just doing cardio on offense in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.
    – The refs were calling every errant glance at CARIS LEVERT a foul in the second half.

    Overall a good game save much of the reffing. I thought Shai was gonna get 50.

  23. Burnieofc

    Our biggest weakness of rebounding was not a big problem tonight. I don’t know what to do with Giddey. I feel like his rebounding and defense were better last year. Those are fixable based on effort. His offensive rhythm will come back to him but the defensive woes are glaring.

  24. BillyBronco69

    The refs really did everything they could to help the cavs win lmao, good to see the thunder win these types of games

  25. LugNutsDort

    Where does Kenrich fit in once he’s back? This is working…

  26. SamPrestiFanClub

    The lineup experiments will continue even more when Kenny gets back. Some work, some might not, but this was the first game of the year where I (personally) felt r like the depth was the difference in this game. If CLE had the depth advantage this game looks different

  27. mido0o0o

    Giddey needs to figure his shit out because I would really love having a good PG at his height.

    I loved Ous’s aggression today

  28. Headlesshorsman02

    Let’s go lads great W in spite of a harsh whistle against us

  30. bluggabugbug

    Sick of officials making it about them. Second half was almost unwatchable with the amount of “fouls”. Lavert getting MJ level of calls. SGA has to get hammered to get a blocking call on a shooting foul. It’s ridiculous across the board. Rant over.
