  1. Grade-A-Grungus

    Had me worried for a few minutes there lol

  2. badcontrol

    I’m an avid complainer about this team and how happy they can get with double teaming, often leading to wide open 3’s.

    Completely opposite case tonight, double teams were incredibly on point, put KD in an absolute chamber and was a main reason our defense looked so good tonight. Great game, great response to what was almost a complete meltdown.

  3. KD with a nice extended stay in the Dorture Chamber

    Fuck Grayson Allen

  4. fellowENT18

    The fact we’ve allowed both a 30-0 run and a 30-5 run this season and won BOTH games is absolutely hilarious. Concerning, but hilarious.

  5. amari_prince

    Jesus Christ I thought we exorcised the Sunday woes..but whatever I’ll take the W, back at it tomorrow

  6. Omegabyss_5531

    Once Durant was put in the chamber, Nurkic’s boards didn’t matter

  7. Embrassedpear6

    Insane that we allowed 30-0 and 30-5 run and won both of them lmao

  8. SoreBallsAdams

    The ability to absorb a punch that big and still pull off a win away from home is what makes this Thunder team special regardless of how they end up going in the playoffs

  9. CasinoJoe92

    We are experts at holding on after monster collapses. bullish tbh

  10. BillyBronco69

    kd was really put in the dorture chamber LMAO

  11. Another game where we allowed a 30 something to 5 run and still ended up winning in the end somehow.

  12. 31 rebounds from Nurkic should be concerning to everyone regardless of the W

  13. JumboHotdogz

    Chet with the rare -20. He was dying trying to defend the Beal-Nurkic PnR.

    Aside from Shai, steals and 3pt shooting are still our bread and butter though. Interesting to see how we fare against teams that take care of the ball well especially in the playoffs.

  14. Mashyjang

    OKC gonna have trouble whenever their 3s dont fall in the playoffs but at least its not a one and done type situation.

    # SGA 4 PREZ

  16. IDespiseFatties

    I was worried that post about being #1 was gonna jinx us.

  18. kfmsooner

    Everyone will talk about the rebounding, and Nurk was cool, but dude had the game of his life, we were outrebounded by 10 and we beat the dog shit out of KD’s cupcake ass. Only a cold stretch of shooting in the 3rd kept us from a 25 point blowout.

    Sure, Nurk was cool and all but playing small got us 21 turnovers (to only 5 for OKC) and +10 off transition over the Suns. Maybe rebounding just doesn’t matter as much as we think. 1st place in the West. 2nd best net rating.

    TTFU

  19. Refrigerator-Fluffy

    huge 4th quarter by wiggins. so impactful

  20. pettybendherass

    I know plus minus is bullshit but Gordon felt like a -9

  21. Aggressive_Slice4620

    Aaron Wiggins saved basketball once again.

  22. grayson allen got the most punchable face. dirty player since forever.

  23. Electrical-Beat-2232

    The dogs in these boys…

    Shoutout to Wiggs.

  24. I understand that the playoffs are a different game. But this team has shown, time and time again that they can adjust. Even mid game they make adjustments. What makes people think they can’t do it over a 7 game series?
