Losing him is potentially worse than we think. It would low key suck that he can never find his way into the team because we win in another way and he ends up being an overpaid benchwarmer like hayward was. But i bet this will be minor and we get him back great.

Go get JaVale McGee

Other than Chet, who would be the backup big man assuming Kenny and JWill are out, does Dieng or DJ step up or something else

"The Sky hasn't fallen. Don't be such a pessimist. We might get 2 of our Williams' back soon...Actually IHart & all 3 of our Williams' are out...Ok, now we're totally f**ked"

Hopefully Ous can step up as a small ball 5 on our bench

To all of you Thunder fans who think the Giddey/Caruso trade was a great thing you're all about to get a true education on why you don't ever change things when you have a season like they did last year now that Hartenstein will be sitting out for at least 6 weeks. It was an idiotic trade and a massive downgrade in overall talent. Now this is exactly the same team we had last year but it's a true swap between those two players and Hartenstein won't be around to make up the difference. Prepare to be educated.

Honestly I’m not even worried he’ll only miss about 15 games and luckily it was only a hand injury compared to a knee or ankle injury

The only position we are t deep at, I wouldn’t mind Dillion jones getting some run at backup 5

When we signed Bismack Biyombo last year, some Memphis Grizzlies podcaster described Biyombo as "always the best big man not under contract in the NBA." So I guess we're back here again.

The seasons a marathon not a race! He will be back and ready to work with the squad and find what works for the playoffs :)

I think he broke it stuffing Brauns dunk in the 1st half

No IHart, then Jaylin No Jaylin, then K-Rich No K-Rich, then Dillon Jones Next man up...

Tbh I feel like the Thunder are good enough to stay afloat without iHart. If he comes back In December after extra rest he still has a couple months before ASW to work on his role as a starter. Seemed like a seamless fit when we did see him

Wonder if IHart had the same injury as Jaylen Brunson during the playoffs? Player was back in action before you know it. Otherwise, at least it’s now instead of April. Next man up!

This is my 13th reason

that’s it. they need to go out and just give dwight howard a chance we have nothing to lose but everything to gain with him on the team

Feel better, king

1:50 for injury, yw

He would get hurt a day after I bet them to win 60 games 🙄

Still better then last year AC in starting line up and not giddy we still better then last year

This Okc team will surprise y’all they will be undefeated waiting on iheart to comeback Carlos Caruso is real. Cason improve we don’t have the same team as last year everyone got better literally

I had the same injury in my knee. Recovery is just not moving the area and allowing the bone to heal. Once it is healed there is no need for recovery. You are good to go as new

Ousmane might be ready to grab the bull by the horns.

So now we are forced to go back to 5 out. A style that got us 57 wins last season.

Basically going back to last year so I mean it hurst and we may lose some games we would have won with Iheart (I’m thinking Denver specifically, joker is just to good to overlook and Iheart would help against him) we should be good tho! Thunder up!!!

Soooo... this means we're forced to reluctantly drag out a team that was the first seed last year minus their biggest weakness replaced by Alex Caruso and some of our young guys can get some run? Oh no😂

I would'nt be surprised to see this as a chess move by the team. No need for him to play all 82 regular season games. Can spend the first however many weeks learning the team like chet did when injured. Not the same situation, but I'm certainly not worried over any of it.

Well i be damned

Love ya man. I really think this dudes balls dropped every season.

Get the injuries out da way

Unfortunately Hartenstein is out for the first month of the season with a broken hand. Gonna be interesting to see how Mark handles front court rotations if JWill can’t get back on the court soon.

This team is young, but make no mistake, this team is a winner. The first year I wrote for Welcome to Loud City was Durant's last season and Billy Donovan's 1st. Donovan was a 1st year NBA coach and history of successful college coaches transitioning to the NBA wasn't exactly glowing so I began researching him. One of the 1st things I learned was that Billy was in OKC right after the Murray building bombing and experienced how we came together as a family in our darkest hour, so he already had an emotional connection. The next thing I learned was that analytics was fairly new to him and that the name of the young assistant at Florida that sold him on the concept was Mark Daigneault. The best version of the Durant/Westbrook era Thunder was that 1st Donovan team. They should have won it all. They beat possibly Pop's best Spurs team in 6 games. They had the Warriors down 3-1 in the WCF and even Andre Iguodala said, flat out, in an interview after the season that the Thunder were the best team they faced in the playoffs, even better than the Cavaliers who beat the Warriors in the finals. IMO, even though this team isn't as experienced, from top to bottom, this team is better than that 2016 team. Everything is here and it is going to be fun to watch.

Shai doesn't need 30 pts a game get other players involved.

Hartenstein playmaking from the high post is a fun little wrinkle to mix in with everything else the Thunder can do

Oh my goodness rylan do an ai voice pod we need you for the season

Rylan just cheesing cause he did not have to do any of the bragging😂

62? Try 69!

What do we call this defensive unit? OklahomaGritty

@RyanStiles you absolutely got to change that old background of the city skyline! PLEASE 🙏

Honestly JWill will play where Ouse has been playing at this preseason and will be a much better fit

Bruh we still ain’t good enough to beat the mavs, we need to get Lauri bruh

They don’t wanna acknowledge the thunder, they’re scared!! 😂😂 I’m playin, it’ll be fun in the west, all these teams are so good

The walk you took with Andrew was awesome and all true. This team has all the ingredients for a historic run. But there's one question you left out, does this team believe they are ready for that run? Not in their heads, because the numbers say so, but in their hearts and souls. I remember the Bad Boys' run, the Bulls run, this current Celtics run. I'm not saying they can't because I truly believe that they will, but sometimes you have to actually see the mountaintop and fall just short to know with your entire being you can beat the mountain.

Yall need to show my boy Cason more love

Chet is a 4! J-Dub is a 3.

Just went to the nuggets game last night. The defense in this team is insane

Big lineups take the Thunder to the next level.

I think so. As an avid SGA 3 point critic, I've really enjoyed his growth. He first found confidence in shooting a better %, and now he's confident enough in his % to increase his volume. He also got shown in the playoffs that he could use that increased volume.

Ajay Mitchell is someone to watch. That head fake and drive is special. He has some great creativity around the rim in order to finish with his stature. Hope he gets some run every once in awhile when the season is rolling along.

I doubt Caruso will be a starter. I see him closing games. For a starter, I expect Isiah Joe. The season is 82 games; I think the coaching staff will save Caruso's legs for the playoffs. I see Hartenstein starting as the opponent's lineups dictate.
