OKC Thunder are built to win in the modern NBA, Chet can close, Surviving Dallas



The Oklahoma City Thunder were dominating the Dallas Mavericks until they were not. The OKC Thunder let up a 30-0 run by the Mavs. Luka Doncic is special despite the quality defense from Cason Wallace. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is an MVP-level player. Chet Holmgren has a knack for closing games. Jalen Williams is KEY in these wins. Jaylin Williams and Davis Bertans played their roles perfectly, and Isaiah Joe got it done. Plus, Josh Giddey, should he still start?

  1. Ngl the reason Giddey is playing bad is cause he has no on court swagger he gotta add a leg sleeve or somethin cause hes been lookin the same for like 3 years

  2. With Chet still learning to get his shot especially end game scenarios and with the shooters we got it's help on the boards and more spacing that we need maybe another big wing could help but shooting isn't our issue at least so far this year and we are still trying to figure out this team cause it's still young n learning to play together ppl forget that because of how quickly we've gelled on the court don't think presti goes all in this yr it's next yr after getting to the playoffs and seeing how we play in those scenarios then hell see what we still need to get us there with all those picks this yr I could then see him packaging them into a higher pick or whatever kinda player we might need for playoff basketball but we still don't even know what that is yet being our first yr back in the playoffs mix so patience is key here guys where still young n going to have to take some lumps to figure ourselves out still Regular season and playoffs are 2 different seasons

  3. We’ve been incredibly fortunate this season with playing sides with crucial outs todays game being the latest such example.

    I’m pleased we are chalking up wins but let’s not get carried away we aren’t anywhere near as good as our record would suggest

  4. I like Wallace alot but i wish we wooda kept Lively. We could us his rebounding. Hopefully i will sure that up soon.

  5. Giddy to soft won't dunk,gets block at the rim for being to soft reminds of Steve Adams a bust hope the Thunder don't pay him a lot money.

  6. Josh can master the power forward skill set. He can dead play big and finding soft. Just combining it w all the strength and size he still needs to put on.

    This reminds me of early Steveo tbh

  7. Our big 3 closed it out! Chet wit those HUGE blocks, getting stops when we needed them most. JDub wit the go ahead bucket on a good shot blocker, and Shai wit that huge steal & bucket to put us up two possessions wit less than a minute to go!! 14-3 run in the last 4 min with no timeouts. I love this team man!! #ThunderUp⚡️

  8. We can't get too carried away . The Thunder have had a fairly easy schedule to date plus they have been fortuitous on the injury front facing teams that were missing key players all the while they have been healthy . Youth helps of course on that front . Thunder are just on the outside of being NBA champion contenders . One year and one piece away .

  9. What a strange game! I think they could have switched the double teaming of Luka but the 3 point shooting was unreal. Obviously they should have gone through Chet more and stopped Lu from driving on every play. But in the end when they did pull it out. And the reffing. I think the Luka got fouled while in the locker.
