Chet Holmgren has a career game, SGA struggles, Nuggets beat down Thunder



The OKC Thunder have been beaten down by the Denver Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder were dominated by the Nuggets. The Bricktown boys have to rebound against the Pistons. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has a bad night, Chet Holmgren has a career night scoring the ball, and Cason Wallace has the it factor on both ends of the floor for Oklahoma City. Ousmane Dieng has improved. Mark Daigneault tried everything, but the Thunder are not on the level of Denver. Plus, why didn’t OKC play Davis Bertans?

    Well, did you think The Thunder were gonna run the Table, lol? There are going to be plenty of Valleys to go along with the Peaks. It sucked that SGA was MIA but these things happen. OKC just needs to move on to the next game. Nuggets are a fine team and worthy Champions, let's see how much progress we make until we play them again in 5 or 6 weeks. Thunder got crushed on the Glass, no doubt. On to tonight vs. Detroit!

    nuggs fan, i hit a like…dont see this too much, reall talk, so what if its – 33…just rethink, do well, hope you go good, from a nugg fan

    FO, Fans etc can keep spewing excuses about these kinda teams and games but the fact rremains, OKC has to find a big bodied big to offset these kinda guys. Giddey, Poku, Dort, J Will and a few others are spare, redundant parts.

  6. Garrett Funke

    Hey Rylan my dad and I are going to the pels game on Wednesday. We will be in okc for a couple of days. Have any fun places to go while we are there?

    I'm a Nugget's fan, but its insane how much talent you guys have on the Thunder. I can't believe how good Cason Wallace has been so far. I know its a small sample, but he's started his career with a 112.6% true shooting percentage, which I didn't even know was possible hahahaha

    Life long Nuggets fan here. OKC is a great city (I'm from Wyoming, so OKC is a city, and my roots go to Bartlesville, where I still have family), and you have a brilliant future. I will always scream for the Thunder. Be patient. Your day is coming. Presti is a genius. You ain't Philly 😂. SGA, Chet, Giddy…just WOW.

  11. Moon SKeetz

    Yall remind me of the Nuggets 3 years ago. Hopefully Thunder stay together and build something special, yall got some BALLERS.

  12. Josh Frees

    So Chet’s career will be getting destroyed on defense by Jokic? I disagree, I think there’s room for improvement

  14. Theodor Von Lang

    All the people demanding a trade for embiid next to our stars…like do you understand how the NBA/ Thunder philosophy works? Obviously not

  15. Houston Plexas

    Jokic was basically saying Chet needs to gain a lot of weight which is true, it’s not just muscle he needs weight. jokic had him under the rim on O and D. At times Chet couldn’t even jump for a rebound because he had the weight of jokic on him. Great learning game for Chet.

  17. charles cohen

    Rylan, thank you again for your fair, balanced analysis. After such a poor game most casuals will be crying to trade Josh, Shai and everyone else for KAT or Harden. Vision and patience. The pieces are coming together but it can’t be rushed.

  18. charles cohen

    One more note from yesterday. How about the poise and maturity Cason displayed introducing the home season? What was I like at 19? No comment!

  19. Wolfgang Jas

    Jokic is ALL world. No one can stop him. They are the Champs for a reason. This is a great experience for the young Thunder. I expect them to take care of the Pistons tonight.
