I dont think the OKC Thunder have lost a game I've watched so far LOL
Shai GA is the man, his the go to guy! Isn't he in the MVP discussion this Season? If not, many would disagree. His one of a kind. That jumper is so smooth, not a typical Jordan/Kobe like fade away but a trademark that gives his uniqueness in the game something different in this generation and modern basketball it was unstoppable. How did he do that? Amazing player. He is one that got me away😂😅 Go SGA.. You'll become the flavor or the new breed or Superstar in the League. ☺️
Denver were never in their zone today. Awful turnovers.. Flurry of missed shots.
OKC did a great job locking up joker too.
The future is almost here.
What a nice game. Shai deserves to be the nxt MVP this season.
I'm happy that OKC showed maturity.Congratulation and to Chip Engelland for 3 points shooting master class.Kudos to the whole team.
Let’s get it Chet 🔥
FYI Murray is really the best player on the nuggets
People it just a 1 point game . Any team can do this.. have you ever watched warriors vs clippers?? When clippers made a comeback in 4th quarter?? It just a normal game.. dont say that thunder will be the 2024 nba champion.. my god it's too early..
Great job I enjoyed the game
I like SGA but damn his game gets boring. Drive, stop, pivot, fadeaway midrange repeat. Yeah yeah I know it works but it’s like watching Giannis eurostep to the rim 30 times per game
Yessir fuck the nuggets
SGA is insane, that game winning shot was literally poetry!
Jokić offense has been so off lately, maybe have him play closer to hoop and let Murray run the offense at times
OKC need to be better at rebound being the bottom 4 team in rebounds.They playing small ball with Chet being their best rebounder avg 8 rebound (mostly defensive). Gordon and Jokic both grabbed 10 offensive reb combined this game. That's 10 points easily if we count 1 point per possession. Anyway a win is a win. Thunder Up.
Cant wait to see us play the clippers at home.. THUNDER UP!!
Nice one OKC
CHET "NINE BLOCKS" HOLMGREN
Wow!!!
Said it before but I’ll say it again. The most important player on the nuggets is Jamal Murray.
So many game winners in SGA young career.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻very proud of these guys #ThunderUp
Great game
OKC is a problem! They are going to upset someone in the playoffs, calling it now
quality basketball.
Embiid 42 pts
15 Rebs
3 asst … 3 quarters 🔥
Announcer is boring
Very close
Pure Heart & Hustle … never give up and believe
Chet 9 blocks is crazy
Tbh Denver needs to make a trade. Their defense starting off the season was very strong and were hovering within top 10 in defensive rating, but recently have fell out of the top 10.
I would see if a Porter Jr. for Anunoby trade could be possible, or somehow try to get Caruso since Bulls are leaning towards blowing up the roster. Love MPJ, but he's about to be 26 and I feel like he's reached his ceiling. Anunoby can't shoot as well as MPJ, but OG is still a 39% 3PT shooter, the significantly better defender, while not giving up much size.
Reggie for Caruso would be ideal, although not as good of a volume scorer as Reggie, Caruso can replicate that role and impact that Bruce Brown had while being a significantly better defender. Reggie this game just looked absolutely lost on defense. Reggie is far too inconsistent for me on offense as well, and Caruso could do most of the things Reggie could do. He's also a pretty underrated playmaker.
Thunder can compete with anybody. Watch out.
Congratulations okc was hoping it was y’all that was gonna win 👍
Will bully MPJ all game🤣
I gotta say I had never really watched OKC this season except for when they lost to the pelicans. But I did watch a lot of this game and Jalen Williams is really really good. He is a very skilled scorer. He needs to get more shine. I was really impressed.
Chet TROY

Man I love this okc team man I’ve been a thunder fan for so long and to see the rebuild already pay off this early man it’s great to see they look real good this year💪🏾
Damn, giddey going to deal with boo's from the away areas the rest of the season.🗣😑
Wow, impressive road win for OKC.
I love this team Let’s go OKC 💯💯💯🔥🔥🏀🏀🏀
Nice win!
Okc is fr!
These announcers pissed me off, those last few points from OKC were way better than anything Jokic was doing but the commentators gave no reaction
