The OKC Thunder aren’t title contenders.
People got to stop calling the Oklahoma City Thunder title contenders cuz they have one major flaw so quick history lesson the youngest team to ever win an NBA championship was the 97 Blazers this Thunder team is even younger there have been other young teams that have lost in
The finals like the 95 magic with Shaq and Penny or the 2012 Thunder with KD Russ and Harden but even those teams had like key veterans playing significant minutes playoff experience matters man and these guys have basically none of it he’s my guy but when Davis bton has
Played in more playoff games and the rest of your roster combined that’s a problem look there’s a reason why teams like the heat consistently overperform in the playoffs it’s a totally different game than the regular season basically the Thunder have no shot at winning the title this year until they find their

They remind of the mvp d rose bulls getting absolutely dominated by lebron. He just had way to much experience and easily took them out
But imagine they somehow win
Such a hypocrite
I wanna see shai and cp3 reunion
Nuggets won because they have key vets like kcp jeff
🤡
If you can see them winning the title they are title contenders, the only thing they lack is playoff experience, that shouldn't count them out to win a title.
Nobody and I mean nobody not even okc fans said okc will win it all, they’re just saying that they could, which they can considering they are the hands down best team in the nba right now and have been for the past 2 months. Facts don’t care about your feelings. 🤷🏻♂️
Dude didn’t even get the Portland team right. Stick to hockey brotha.
I get what you’re trying to say but this is a bad take. To say there’s no way they win the title is ridiculous. Yes it will be a challenge for them without having that veteran presence, but they’re a great team that plays well together and has a bunch of unselfish guys. They’re definitely one of the top 5 or 6 teams with the best chance to win the title
Good problem to have
Andrew bro I’m tryna not get angry cry😂
Hey Andrew what’s your take on the pacers vs Celtics game last night? Do you think it was rigged
To be honest I agree. As much as I think SGA is a great, still somewhat underrated player who I think will perform in the playoffs, when it matters most its very hard to get it done in the playoffs. The warriors had iguodala, then became experienced, The Heat are an experienced team, and to put how hard it is into context, Boston who has been consistently the best in the East/ best in the league have only made one finals which they lost, and they have a better lineup and have more experience and vets then the thunder. That's how hard it is to get it done. The playoffs is really a different sport and that's when guys like Jimmy Butler, Kawhi, Paul George and other guys you forget in the regular season are remembered, regular season guys like Embiid are put in their place, and the top superstars like Jokic who shine in both make their case as the best player in the world.
I’m not there. I definitely see it I don’t fully agree however, I can see how that very thing could happen. I would love to see a Lauri trade I’m interested to see if your perspective changes at all.
Love the videos you’re great.
Agreed but it would be sick if it happened!
PIZZA ROLL THUNDER IS THE GREATEST NAME EVER
Do you think the Timberwolves could be contenders
Rare Andrew L
As an OKC fan, I agree. People should stop prematurely hypeing everything.
Let them play a game in the playoffs first let alone let see first if they make it.
Lu Dort has some playoff experience. Some.
If OKC isn’t a dynasty in 3 years Sam Presti will be a legend
plus the thunder have pretty much 0 experience during playoffs. The Thunder are like the kings last year, but way less younger and unexperienced
Trade for Mitchell,kd or zion need another superstar, trade away some of those first round picks
Media hyping them like they have 4 rings in a row rn. to be a dynasty you need to win multiple rings. They won't win multiple in the next 3. They may be one of the best teams in history if they can keep their guys together and keep the core. I could see a warriors type run for them but it's too early to give such a bold take in such a talented league. Health and Progression matters a lot and it's too early for people to say they are contenders or a potential dynasty like I've seen
Lauri or Marcus smart would be some good pickups for them
And here's where they bring in the ringer . . . KEVIN DURANT! Would be hilarious and not even a bad fit. They have the picks to trade for him, and he's on a struggling roster that might be looking for a trade.
More realistically though, this roster feels like its going places eventually. I wouldn't be surprised if OKC takes home 2 finals win this decade.
"the 97 blazers"
If they match up against a single experienced team in the playoffs they will lose
"Practically a different sport" might be a bit of an overstatement
