  1. Never forget Shai should be a 2 time all-star already but the NBA wanted to give Mike Conley a pity star spot.

  2. roastedhambone

    KAT is such a miserable player to watch play. Thank god he’s not on this team

  3. SobiescianumScutum

    Great shooting win games! Unbelievable

  4. RattlingBones35

    Big freaking win. Let’s play with this 10 man rotation more please

  5. amari_prince

    Yeah in a 7 game series we can win against anyone.

  6. ThaMuffinMan92

    Are there any more playoff relevant teams we don’t have a win against yet or was minny the last one?

  7. This game shows why the Thunder don’t need a trad beefy PF or C. This team ran the wolves out of the building. Spread them out and just sliced and diced them. OKC can have games where they get killed on the boards but this game is the flipside to that and shows exactly why the way the roster is constructed is a deliberate strategic decision and not an unfortunate accident.

    Honestly nothing bad to take away from this game unless you want to be nitpicky. Great game from the top guys, Giddey keeping his positive momentum going through the injury, good minutes from Micic, and all against a really good opponent in the Timberwolves. Just an all around good game and a much needed turnaround after that Lakers game

  9. New_Essay_4869

    This is who I thought our hardest matchup would be in the West. Glad to see this is performance out of the team.

  10. sportsfanatic09

    An amazing win. We have rebounded after a tough loss all season.

  11. marion_and_beau

    Shai is a top five player and did top five player things.

    Dort was on one and showed why he’s one of the most valuable role players in this league.

    Jalen Williams continued his hot stretch and looked like Jaylen Brown out there.

    Josh Giddey had a really good game against a team that’s a pretty bad matchup for him, he’s looking like himself again.

    Really great win, hopefully the injury report stays empty tomorrow night against New York.

  12. I want you to put the word out there that we back up.

  13. Sweaty-Ad736

    I didn’t get to watch the game, how did we play against the twin towers of Minnesota with jaywill only playing four minutes??

  14. SilentbutDC

    Watching Giddey in this game after missing him last game showed me we definitely need him on this team starting. Even if he makes some mistakes, we need his rebounding and scrapping. We just looked so much better tonight with him.
