Love the court
Brooklyn are struggling and the Ben Simmons injury really derailed this team from making much sustainable progress this first half of the season…
Changes are coming but this team should make moves that better this teams future and not just make irrational moves…
Love the court
Man, the Thunder are just a much better team than the Brooklyn Nets on both ends of the ball. Sometimes NBA games boils down to talent and in my opinion the Thunder are a much more talented team than the Nets.

This needs to be said. Nic Claxton is a very improved defender and is on his way to becoming a very above quality big in this league…
But if his asking price is for $100 million contract, Brooklyn should not match…
Claxton has had some good defensive moments this season but he hasn't shown enough offensively especially against top teams in the league and doesn't look as focused on the offensive side as well…
Brooklyn even thinking about trading Claxton at the deadline would be a big gamble but given Brooklyn's good track record in developing center players both Dayron and eventually Noah Clowney could become Brooklyn's future back court….

Dude if Shai move go up in the MVP race after this past week or at least win Western Player Of The Week then then idk what tf is going on anymore, Truly wish OKC & Shai could get some media attention, Dude truly is one of the best in the league atm, He deserves it.
I don't think OKC could have asked their starters to play any better than they played tonight:
Chet Holmgren: 7-10 FGM
Jalen Williams: 7-14 FGM
SGA: 7-15 FGM
Josh Giddey: 8-16 FGM
Dort: 7-10 FGM
People are probably very frustrated with Brooklyn's coaching staff tonight for benching Cam Thomas through most of the third quarter and people need to look at the numbers and see that defensively Thomas is just not delivering on that side which has been a big weakness of his game…
Even more importantly it seems like Thomas has become a "protected trade asset" as opposed to the player in the beginning of the season that we thought could become a cornerstone of this team's future…
But it looks like the coaching staff and possibly Brooklyn management might have different plans…
Thunder are the dark horse this szn!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
OKC will be championship contenders
They have 4 win streak, win nuggets on homecourt
What if OKC can snap Celtics homecourt win?
Brooklyn struggled to guard the perimeter tonight against OKC. They allowed OKC to shoot 54% from beyond the arch. In contrast, Brooklyn only shot 26% from three. That was the difference in the game.
Unfortunately as fun as this Brooklyn squad has been through the first half of this season it looks like Brooklyn will need to sell off their top vets in Dorian Finney Smith Royce O Neale and Spencer Dinwiddie to acquire more draft capital.
Plus Nic Claxton is someone to monitor given he's up for a new contract that he wants near the $100 million line and unfortunately Ben Simmons unnecessary expiring $40 million contract could cause some financial issues…
But this trade deadline is very important for Brooklyn in deciding their future….
Welp it’s time that the Nets get a rebuild next season… Cuz this is just embarrassing for them to lose like this 😢
Good game young team OKC ⚡
The Brooklyn Nets are not a good team. They'll be lucky to make the Playoffs, yet alone qualify for the in-season tournament.
OKC seems legit bro, these dudes have matured quick, fast and in a hurry. Do I see a championship in their future?? 🏆
HAPPY NEW YEAR
The Thunder have such great chemistry and balance to their team. Can’t wait to see how they match up against my Celtics Tuesday 🍀
Having a ginormous rim protector who can put the ball on the floor and hit the corner three is just morally wrong.
Let’s go 2024! Happy New Year! 🎇 #ThunderUp
Thunder are the second youngest team in the league but they’ll take on anybody right now. They’re not afraid of anyone. Very balanced team from players 1-10. Each player offers something different that they’re very good at.
I seem to only watch the thunder away game highlights on here. It’s weird not hearing boos everytime Giddy gets the ball
3 Allstars in okc
#FreeBridges Send him home
Giddy the Pervert is the best player for me, he still dont show his true capabilities because his team mates is already enough to finish the game
The Thunder handled the month of December well⚡️
josh giddey looking like Kuroko with these passes especially the one to dort towards the end
OKC finally recovering from what KD ruined. 2nd youngest team in the NBA and a serious problem. OKC future is brighter than ever. excited to see how they do in playoffs. i think we all can agree they will be there 😎
OKC, CLIPPERS, ROCKETS, HEAT are the team that are exciting to watch now in NBA.
Giddy the pervert have a killer assists , i want to see more of that in the championship
Idk why the so-called experts say OKC needs to make a move. This squad can go toe to toe with anybody. Yeah, this was the Nets, but they've been beating up the contenders as well… THUNDER UP ⚡️💪
I feel sorry to Giddy now , i think he is now going to distance himself to girls to save his career
No one here can tell me this team isn't better constructed than those old teams of KD, Russ, and Harden. This Thunder team has true teamwork, true chemistry, true togetherness, and true unselfishness. They may not go to the Finals this season, but I fully love and appreciate how these young guys have created such a well-balanced machine. Watch out NBA!! #ThunderUp
SGA looks like AI's son. LOL Let's go!
The whole starting 5 of OKC scored at least 15 points and shot over 45% from the field…. This team is really special!! Good win SQUAD!!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
