I hate how op okc is, they basically got every advantage in the nba now. Stars, depth, young talent, draft picks, they aren't terribly expensive yet like damn. If they dont end up winning at least 1 ring when its all said and done that is a all time fumble
Just like the thunder in the early 2010s minus the picks. It will end up the same, all of them leaving.
@@kappawhoo2010 Thunder teams weren't as deep as this one
Defense still wins championships. This is amazing
@@kappawhoo, Nobody on this team is selfish, unlike James Tarded and Snake Man.
Gonna laugh when it falls apart and the rest of the nba yields their harvest
The most mind boggling stat is the Thunder still have more steals than turnovers this season. They have 292 STEALS (not just opp turnovers) on the season and have only turned the ball over 280 times. That's a +12 differential. No team in history has ever had a positive diff in those 2 stats this deep into the season.
Why capitalize words, people reading can understand STEALS mean steals
@@rokiolo25It's called emphasising
@@rokiolo25shut up
@@rokiolo25Enfaces-on how crazy it is obviously, you can read it in caps. Also life is about so much more than complaining about how a comment is wrote when you can still read it.
Emphasis my brother, but you right @@vagekaso
okc and the celtics play on the 5th and that's not a national televised game? make that make sense
For real bro like as a Thunder it’s nut that’s the finals a lot of people want to see this year
Exactly I was looking forward to watching that game😩
Same with Thunder and grizzlies
As a thunder fan we appreciate this video cause we get no media coverage, cause celtics vs thunder not a national televised game??
As a Bulls fan I am happy to see AC on an elite team. He didn't deserve to rot on our team after the Zo injury
Tbh as a okc fan I think giddey fit better with yall he can play his actual role and not have too much pressure on him
@mavin1907 I haven't been watching the games much, I'll take your word for it tho
Yall wouldn't have accomplished much if zo stayed healthy, respectfully.
@@littlelinkreid6744they definitely would’ve. Lonzo was easily the biggest factor on that team. He’s the highest plus/minus right now AFTER his injury.
@@littlelinkreid6744he does a lot of stuff basic stats won’t show you. Practically leads the team defensively and offensively
NGL looking back at the series vs Dallas last year. They literally lost because of Giddy. Him being a bad shooter and a bad defender, Dallas was just completely leaving him open on offense and hunting for him on offense every possession they could. I truly believe that they would have beat dallas and the twolves if Giddy wasn't playing. He was their one weakness on both sides. And not only did they trade him for one of the best defenders in the league, they got another one of the best defenders in the league. They play literally zero bad defenders in their rotation and with the experience of last year, another year of development, and the two veterans they added they are my favorite to win the title. Basically tied with boston.
People act like Dallas destroyed them and that Luka "owns" them. The biggest win in the series was the first game, which OKC won by 22. They were all close and Shai was definitively the best player on the court pretty much every game. Now OKC has zero weak offensive or defensive players and are gonna have home court advantage again. OKC could probably sweep dallas especially if Luka is as mid as he was in the series last year.
100%
People seem to forget that the final point differential in the Dallas series was 0 points. They literally were dead even and the Mavs just played a bit better down the stretch go close out some of the games.
Also, fluke shooting from pj Washington and DJJ played a major part.
Caruso has been a terrible shooter this year
I think our lack of rebounding would’ve lost us the series against Minnesota, but Giddey had one of the worst playoff series of all time against Dallas. I honestly just wish that we won that series so that Mavs fans would shut the hell up and stop acting like they did something special last year when their Finals series was over by the second half in game 1.
“Money midrange that would make childtwn proud”
I think he said ChiTown brodir
@@Vheinchilltown
Lowdown in the building
I love the fact they are also quiet and being humble. It feels like everybody on the team has similar personality traits, they got that shut up and play ball attitude.
OKC finally getting talked about and respected, this shit means something to me man 🥲
where have you been for the past year ? they’ve been getting nothing but praise and admiration
Ong the thunder the most hated team on nba twitter rn and Chet still hasn’t come back 😂😂
@@ThaTruth223no, you’re tripping
@@deven7345 how ? because i see a bunch of videos on okc and their front office who just got voted as the best in the league ? but yes they don’t get talked about ….meat muching fanboys really ruined sports talk
@@ThaTruth223you niggas be so emotional over nba talk😂😂😂 get a grip
⛈️⚡️🌩️ thank you for finally spotlighting us Big Celly
Thunder fan since 2011-12 here. Didn’t want this video to end😂 subbed. I’m hype!!
One of the coolest things about this thunder roster as a fan of them is that the opposing team gets no breaks at all, there are 6-8 wings on this team who all compete and are all good on the defensive end, every switch every rotation the offensive players are facing the same damn thing no matter what switch or rotation they get
Thank you!! Ive said this on multiple platforms that OKC is out here teaching nba n the world how to play DEFENSE! Im tired of watching these bum ass defensive teams that give up easy 3s, dont fight over screens, dont jump/contest in the paint, lackadaisicaly fighting for 50/50 balls etc....
While other teams basically gave up on defense and decided to focus on scoring the thunder (like any team should) decided to care about both. You see it with the hawks too. Dyson Daniel’s changed the culture there now the hawks play defense as a team and DRASTICALLY improved across the board.
as much as I dislike Quinn Snyder from his college and Mizzou days I think he's a darn good coach. He actually has Trey playing a little defense and that's just remarkable. Trey's daddy couldnt even get him to do that.
Can we get a Rockets breakdown next? They are doing pretty good.
He probably won’t we don’t get that type of respect 😂
@@clockwork8085yall actually a nice team frfr I think yall don’t get the recognition cuz yall don’t got a mvp candidate or superstar player but yall roster is solid and yall won some tough games too
Not as good as the thunder no glaze
@@clockwork8085
Rockets r only respectably good
they're gonna be nightmarish good in a couple of years. I hope they can keep it all together. OKC drafts personality as much as skill while most other teams just seem to hope for it or expect a coach to instill it. I really dig that Euro kid Houston has at the 5. Smart player and he does a little of everything to help. I expect Houston to be very good!
As an OKC fan I'm just enjoying how good we are until Clay Bennett decides to blow shit up again for the sake of his pockets
As an OKC fan myself, it’s quite shocking how little you seem to know about the difference between ownership from the Russ/KD/Harden days and now.
..and I'm here for. Remember a few years ago, where there was that like one month where for 10-15 minutes every game Lonzo and Caruso were both on the floor together and they were just putting the clamps on people. And so many of us were so excited. OKC can do that for 48 minutes if they want.
Bro you have a VERY bright future as an analyst or your go to UA-cam channel for nba talk. I absolutely love your approach and takes don't always agree but you back it up with facts and stats. Keep doing what your doing big dawg ill be watching all future videos 💪💪
Thank you low for doing unbiased content it’s much appreciated
2 vids in 1 day? is this a wet dream?
From a Seattleite, congrats to OKC on a strong start.
You’re off to a really good season, let’s see what you parlay this start into.
THANK YOU LOW I agree the silence on this team is wild
JDub's defense needs to talk about more especially how he anchored that #1 defense in the league while having 0 centers in the team.
Good job with your takes man. This was really good information, first time listening.
You’re the best NBA analyst out there!!
definitely need more break downs like this 👍🏾
You got Frosted Flakes in your hair
😭
OKC steals more balls than they turn over. It's insane.
Shai deserves an MVP. I hope he gets one eventually. Jokic is just an animal right now.
I already know legend of winning is going to show my thunder love!
Love this video!!!!!!
It's insane how good okc is with such a low salary roster with so many future picks. 1 more shai caliber player added to this roster and they are going to either a finals or WCF every year for half a decade at least.
they have a 1 to 2 year window before they have to sign extensions for these guys. Some will walk given the salary cap. the rules are there to prevent dynasty.
❤They are very good because all the NBAs superstar are getting shut down by this young NBA THUNDER 🍵 team❤😊
@@nguquaxanguyen5224that’s what the draft picks are for, lose one superstar just draft another one
@Virgil191 given how good they are, they likely wouldn't be getting a superstar in the draft even if they lost one. Unless they lose Shai they will still be a pretty good team.
@@DarrellSimmons-m7bgood thing they aren’t depending on their record for draft picks… they have 2 of Atlanta’s next year then the clippers and Houston the year after …. This continues for the next decade. Also mil . Phi and Utah next year.
Appreciate the Thunder content bro! I haven’t been this hype for a season since 2012
They have so many more possessions. That's how they win. Their crux is the lack of free throws. Imagine if they shot more than 15-20 free throws a game, which is near the bottom?
As a huge okc fan I’m happy to see this I don’t watch a lot of nba anymore but when I do it’s mostly okc games. They are entertaining to watch play so hard on both ends .
Brother great video
Finally someone really noticing us 😂❤
NBA wants to help small market teams to flourish and compete for titles by keeping their stars. But at the same time, with the second apron, OKC would not be able to do that.
They have to go into the second apron and don’t care about their future picks as their team is loaded with young and talented players.
Ohhhhh the thunder vs rockets match up. This match will be quite the show. Let's go!!!
Fasho keep making videos like this fam
they've done a great job of putting this together. they couldn't be set up better. present and future secure. this is going to be a good run
The bet net ratings doesn’t mean they’re the best team since the bulls. Is deceiving because there’s only a few good teams and everyone else is mediocre or trash. So yes, why they may have a high net rating, It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re better than the Warriors were or the shaq and Kobe lakers or the heat was.
12:14 I'm going to have to see IHart sinking threes on the offensive end at a consistent clip before I judge if a team like Boston is cooked
That’s what Chet for big dawg
@TJones4L we shall see
I was wit ya, then you said they could be the greatest defense of all time if they keep up this pace. Idk if I’m willing to go there but I will say OKC have reached that point where you get surprised when they lose.
They can definitely be the greatest defense ever tbh
Not yet. But if Chet gets fully healthy not only will they have the best . They will have a DEATH LINEUP
@@Slapshot544Tatum first finals appearance was just about back in that year
I think everyone is just surprised that we have two teams that utilized tanking effectively and actually hit on this many picks even the Celtics didn’t hit on as many as okc and Houston
Do more breakdowns please More breakdowns good video
makes the job easier when you have. MLB suiting up as a 2 guard/small forward every night
OKC 2025 champs just letting y’all know
As a nets fan i'm super jealous damn
The only other team that plays with that intense defense is the rockets. So everyone tune in Saturday for the semi cup finals. Gonna be a real fun game to watch
dont forget cp3 started all this.... next is san antanio
More breakdowns please
Sam Presti is a fxckn genius damn
As a Thunder fan never felt this confident about us even back in the big 3 days and the windows is open for at least 4 -6 years SGA is going be a legend when its all said and done
Exactly if not this year next year we winning a chip! We got all the right pieces to fit the puzzle 🧩🔥
Been a fan since before they drafted Durant and they where the Settle Supersonic. This been a long time coming👏🏿. Over the last 3 years we have progressed year by year getting better and better. The new additions only made us a powerhouse and when Chet comes back we gone be unstoppable 😎.I give it 2 years we gone get a championship if not this season. We on the NBA ass😩😆
I just don’t see them getting past the Mavs
This is without Chet too😭 this is a finals team
So you’re telling me that all they had to do was play actual defense to become the best in the league? Who would’ve thought that defense was important in 2024.
More break downs big dog 💯
I’m from ny I was tight when we lost hartenstein 🤦🏿♂️
The best ignored team in The NBA.
I’m really looking forward to watch the thunder vs rockets
Yes more break down please
okc praise ? we made it
LA Flipperz fans are punching the air rn
The Celtics had all time defense entering the playoffs in 2022 and didn’t win it all cause Playoff Basketball is different from Regular season
OMFG DOUBLE UPLOAD...
Holding teams under 90 today is like holding a team under 75 in the 2000s
If they don’t win the championship this year…they are next year
SGA top 5 ?no way I can name 15 players better than him 😂
Giannis shouldn't have resigned with the Bucks so quickly. Coulda became a free agent and joined a Dynasty 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
They ain’t beating Mavs in playoffs , that’s all that matter
Keep sleeping on OKC
Casual
The playoffs that Chet could probably be playing in? You really think that or are you just that much of a Luka rider?
@@raheemwilson894come back to this comment in may
@@NorthThree6y’all really get hype off then beating Mavs one regular season game that the thunder clearly wanted more than them
Whats your problem with the Rockets Low? When we gonna get a video about the twins down here in the south? We got the best defense in the league. When we gonna get a video Low? Talk about our come up man! Whats the deal?
Watch when nikola toppic come over don’t sleep
THUNDER UP BABY!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yea it’s over when Chet comes back lol im glad my team not contending anytime soon 😂
I watched 3:26 like 3 times lol 😂
lol me too, the man was already falling he didn’t have to hit him with the shoulder before the step back like that 😂
Screw OKC and IHart Im salty forever 😅😭
if jalen williams dont choke in the playoffs this year i like they chances
Not hard to play defense when your team doesn’t get called for fouls.
@@tj-dj9xv lmao dude you’re a casual, No ifs ands or buts about it
Another cry baby who dont know what they yalking about.
The thunder are second to last in FTA and 1st in the League in drives per game, WE are the one who dont get calls.
@@assaf8016reading comprehension must be a foreign concept to you because bro said they don’t get called FOR fouls. meaning they foul when playing defense and don’t get called
@@Mr.Byrnesexplain how he’s a casual without hurling insults
@@ThaTruth223I understand excatly what he tried to told. The stat that I brought is at least shows we definitely don’t get calls either so in the worst case it’s equal.
We have one of the best defensive players in each position, just choose, why it’s so hard for people like to accept we have the best defence?
You want other answer please bring stats or evidence for this.
Im talking so much crap. But im worried about them.
Boston too.
Can u talk about the rockets
Bro will make a video about everybody besides the grizzlies
MORE BEAKDOWNS LOW
So they do play defense in this era?
sga 2025 mvp
I hear you, buuuuuuuuuuuuuut have the WON anything???
Really like this team, they can be special. Don't count on chet though, he will never be a full season type of guy
he didn’t miss a single game last year…
@@flyyboyjay55but missed an entire season prior and is missing extended time now. so he’s not wrong at all
@@CMB...SHO_NUFF breaking a bone vs tearing ligaments and soft tissue is different he will be okay it’s not necessarily something wrong with a part of his body like kawhi that we will constantly see him injured
@@ThaTruth223 he just needs to somehow get some type of weight on him cause if anybody took the fall he took most players would get hurt too
@flyyboyjay55 i like Chet, looking at his build i don't think he holds up well. Fingers crossed but I wouldn't bet money on him playing whole seasons in his career.
World champs let’s gooo
Too many ads.
you said this last year n they didn't make the finals bruh they aren't ready
Buddy they are a different team this year last year doesn’t matter
@@CarsonCarpenter-c6x how are they different?
@@ovojdabanks210 uh Isiah hartenstein an Caruso is on there team now buddy there defense is elite an they are the best defense in the NBA an it’s not close at all They can beat you anyway they are the most versatile team in the NBA they addressed there weaknesses once Chet comes back they will always have a big on the court or it will be both Chet and Isaiah hartenstein on the court together with how good they already are on the defense side of the ball Chet I think takes them to at a another level defense an they can make any trade they want they can upgrade this team easily at the trade deadline without giving up any of there picks. Which that is scary
They arent better than my celtics, cut the shit!!
Defense isn’t a thing anymore who cares.
If you gonna show clips show clips of them playing actual good teams
Talent for Talent they clear the 96 bulls. Shai = Jordan. Jdub > Pippen. Chet > Rodman. Harper > dort. Hartenistein >>>>>> longely & wennington
Not even trolling
All this for them to lose to mavericks if they play them do yall realize who Luka is 😂
Mr 17 points in our last game against the Mavs? We got his his number now, not happening again
@@Realmohgit happens when they let yall play football instead basketball
That’s cool but they ain’t beating the Rockets on saturday 🚀🚀🚀
It’s tomorrow
Houston getting blacked
@@knowmekingsquad9898 tmr is Saturday
That’s gonna be a good game, yall just beat us like last week idk why people act like Houston isn’t nice
Keep sleeping on OKC.
Ima be honest if teams play at least 40% harder on defense most teams will look this good on that end but this era is just chucking 3’s and lazy defense 😂
where is le 🥜 video
Their good but they are a easy first round knockout at best 2nd round 😂
Just hating on OKc I see
What about their team do you think won’t translate in a playoff setting?
We have these glaze videos all for okc to get dumped by Luka in second round again 😂
Nobody knows that. The Thunder aren't even the same team they were last season.
Luka ain’t dump shit PJ Washington turned into Prime Ray allen
The Thunder isn’t the same team as last season buddy
Didn’t the timber wolves do this same song and dance just last season …..
Not even the same thing okc is a way more versatile team
Lmao the Timberwolves did not have even close to one of the best NET rating in history
Hater alert!!!!! Boo go sit in a corner
