PLEASE watch the GRIND CITY MEDIA podcast about hating the thunder and thunder envy. I wanna hear yalls take on this!
@@jeffjohnson7052 DELUSION
Good pod, but I wish I had a live J-Kidd reaction taking up half the screen.
@@senatorkenator 😭😭😭
Any Dallas cry babies want to let us know why you guys sucked so much 🐓?
Great game! However, Shai going off tonight and the Mavs going cold on offense are heavily influenced by the absence of Washinhton
@@zoharayalon7594 And imagine if Holmgren was playing. No doubt about it that these are the 2 best teams in the West. And I hope to see them both healthy soon.
Theres a lineup that they hit on a couple games ago that looked absolutely legit for the second unit that i hope they go back to it was jdub cason caruso mitchell and hartenstein there was some serious chemistry happening
Hartenstein matches up better with Gafford than Holmgren. That extra bulk is so important in this matchup.
Shai will retire as the greatest canadian and bring the first title too okc shotout sga hometown hero
Hartenstein is the answer to the Mavs big lineup. I think OKC will win on Tuesday.
Tayler, enjoy your 'doink' victory over my banged up Chargers. Enjoy your last AFC West title for awhile. If we see you in the playoffs, your little mini-dynasty is coming to a crashing halt. This year will be a Thunder n' Lightning Bolts championship season.
How about Josh Green? Half Cam Johnson's salary. Hitting 45% from 3 this year. Good D....... And you get your Aussie fans back!
Sounder at 18:10 “They swang that thang”
Just have to point out, Doc was coach when Shai got traded away, he was also the 76ers Coach that waived Joe.
Another incredible defensive performance. Suffocating with no bad defenders in the rotation.
1st quarter 5 the Thunder celibate
Get that work in D'silva
Pod dream team
The finalists get to play 1 extra game in an already overpacked schedule. It’s ridiculous imo. Heck OKC should just rest their starters in the finals to prove a point.
Or they can try to win a half million dollars for the players on the team that aren’t making that much money.
Legler picked JDub at 3 I think
Even if you don’t like the cup of we win we can take a road game off our schedule and replace it with a neutral site
So we're just not gonna talk about waiting 20 seconds to foul at the end of the game???
As long as we are playing 11-12 guys deep nobody on the bench is going to develop into a go-to bench scorer. The minutes are incredibly inconsistent night to night, and that doesn’t allow guys to get into rhythm. I love Mark as a coach and think he’s a great Xs and Os guy, but his rotations don’t facilitate consistent bench scoring imo.
How many player broke hip come back none
Who broke their hip in the nba????
Daigneault has to give SGA more minutes in these games. 36 isn't enough when he's shooting lights out and no one else can carry the load that night. Look around the league, games like these are won by letting your mvp dominate the game for 38-40 minutes. SGA is 26, he can log the minutes. This gane, the Dallas and SA losses are largely on Daigneault. They likely go 2-1 in those games if he stops sitting SGA for so long and letting leads evaporate and deficits balloon out while SGA gets cold on the bench.
Couldn’t agree more, it’s getting frustrating. Shai had 30 after the 3rd. Doesn’t come back in until the 7 minute mark and finishes with 32. That’s not how you beat a tough opponent.
Just get Schroeder back. Don’t let him rot away in Brooklyn. What would it take?
Nobody cares about your thanksgiving
Just when I think there's nothing worse than a Sun Night loss to the Rockets, Justin reminds me at least we're not watching Whoredon Gayward.
Number 1 in west🔥⚡️
Tough lost but I'm very impressed with this Thunder team!!! We have so much injury and yet the Rockets just barely beat us. Can you just imagine once we get Chet, Caruso, and Jaylin back. Thunder and Rockets got beef. Can't wait for their next match up.
Yes , ima die hard Rockets fan, Yall team is Good frfr, I respect the hell out of OKC… my wife from there so it’s beef in my house , But this is going to be must see tv from here on out , if it’s 1 team I think can beat yall is us , yall are more skilled but we are more athletic and stronger , if we meet in the playoffs it’s going to be fire works
That pause after “my great grandma” was too long 😂😂
I’m not sure the pedo’s on bluesky are gonna be interested in basketball but good luck 😂😂
I think OKC is missing the playmaking ability of Giddey and the offensive versatility of Holmgren. But the defense is so incredible that they keep winning regardless.
They miss Giddey's 25ish minutes a game. The ball moved when it was in his hands. SGA is great but sometimes the ball stops moving when he gets it.
@ yeah lots of highly contested 3’s due to the lack of ball movement. Or catching the ball on a sloppy pass. Making it hard to shoot in rhythm.
"Two knuckles in deep and it gets squishy"-💦💦💧😄😄 now I see why y'all are de-monetized
Hayward & Caruso show how hard it is to find your shot in OKC Offense. Hartenstein takes 15 shots in his 2nd game as a Thunder. I don't think he's hesitated once, from taking his shot..I love it!
does okc make it through to the next round if we beat the jazz and suns beat the spurs?
Speaking of reffing. How about that 6 step travel not called on Trae Young at the end of the first game they beat the cavs. Need better reffing.
JDub and iHart is a gonna be a deadly combo. Imagine having to deal with that duo and then in comes SGA and Chet...
I think when Chet is out our offense will be better due to Hartensteins play creating ability but our defense won’t be quite as good. Not a bad problem to have at all
@@JASONWILLIAMS-de5tg The Kings are quite an offensive team. They lead the league 2 years ago. We got better low post defense as well as better passing.
LETS GET MORE OF THIS!! Nick needs his own podcast
Man I hope Caso isn’t out for long. The rotation depth is so impressive, but we’re getting a little thin if players keep getting hurt.
Is nick casting in his dressing gown? Baha😂
The amount of energy needed to make up for lacking size is another factor. Imo, this team should be fresher in crunch time because of having Hardenstein.
Thunder up❤
No music
8:03 actual basketball words
23:23 for the obligatory "this team doesn't even have chet yet"
The uncontesed podcast is my favorite nature documentary commentary podcast that occasionally talks thunder basketball
Ous is down 😭 Branden Carlson minutes?👀
iHart v Sabonis gonna be good
The trouble is - it's a trend. We had difficulties shooting threes against Dallas in the playoffs. Caruso, Dort and Cason are just not talented, stable or trustworthy enough on offence. Wiggins is a question mark in that regard. The spacing around shai and Dub is just not good enough and we also lack another shot creator. In general - Our offence is too dependent on our defense. If we can't generate steals or misses and go to our transition game, we get stuck. That's bad news for the playoff.
I yelled every time Ous set foot on the court. Guy is useless.
