If you think Shai has been underrated this year, talk about last year. He was a rookie starter for a team with zero expectations (kinda like this year) that took the healthy Warriors to 6 games. He was asked to guard the the best wing in the game because the Clippers played a 3 guard lineup. He was incredibly efficient in his minutes, but because he wasn’t ballooning in meaningless stats, he only got all rookie 2nd team. As a Clippers fan, I was so sad watching him walk cause I knew he’d develop amazing if he had a chance to get the ball, but we got one of my favorite players in return so I can’t complain
Thats what happened in BKN & LAC and they became great playoff contenders last year & since they were big market they jumped to chip contenders now (well, brooklyn in a year).
Some might not like Chris Paul, but he’s a great veteran leader for this young team. Love debating about stuff like this. I started a sports channel hoping to make high quality videos like this! Love the in depth analysis!
El-ahrairah false. I critic Cp3. Most hate co3 without merit. Critic is saying he hasn’t made it to the finals. Hate is when there is clear reasons why he hasn’t won that don’t necessarily include Cp3 as the main issue, yet someone still blames him for everything just because. If he gets hurt, it’s his fault and he’s trash. If he plays well, and loses he’s it’s his fault and he’s overated. If his teamates underperform and he doesn’t score 40 a game, it’s all his fault. If his co star gets hurt constantly and Cp3 has to carry the team to 50 wins every year a just to tire out and get hurt in the postseason, it’s all his fault and he’s overated. He leads the rockets to their best postseason and regular season, and closes every series up until getting hurt. Then harden and the team choke away two games, and Cp3 gets the blame instead of harden the supposed leader. The team is willing to pay him what they think he’s worth, and it’s his fault for taking it instead of there’s for giving it. He hasn’t missed the playoffs in a decade, and has one down season so every falls him washed and he gets shipped to OkC to die. If none of that sounds like hate then I don’t know what is. If it’s justified critic that’s backed by real facts then fine. But no one does that. It’s all narrative based hate spewed by the media and repeated by casual fans who don’t appreciate the style of player and the legacy that is Chris Paul.
Guys, This version of OKC reminds me of the Blue Collar Pistons of the early 2000s. No egos. No ball hogs. Just a unit that know their roles and thriving together to win games.
@@wstjosh1493 I have to admit, my heart and passion for the game kinda died down when Russ was traded but when I first saw the breakdown from both trades, I knew right away we would still be good. I predicted 6-8 seed this season and look at us. I never doubted whether they would be good or not because I knew they would. What makes me sad is not seeing Russ in a Thunder uniform but ThunderUp all the way still.
Been waiting for this video. Every single NBA UA-camr is seeing the Thunder's resurgence, and will be getting videos out this week. As a Thunder fan, I never thought I'd root for CP3. This team is young and willing to be coached. Both Russ and George each said that they don't like plays being called for them, and now the whole team is willing to listen to Billy. I love Russ, but this team is so much more fun to watch than previous seasons.
@@saintdockery5740 they have more depth but no star so it evens out its just anytime a team plays with good ball movement they are good enough to make the playoffs
@@jxc9634 the team last year wasn't bad didn't have any Shooters though. Outside of Paul George granted Terrence had to stretch a games where you shooting fine. But overall we just never really Shotwell. I think because I'm pretty sure we're going to be all in on shai but I really need Burton Ferguson dinallo Baisley to step up. Because Chris Gallinari Schroeder are probably going to be on the move before the trade deadline. But also a lot of people forget that Portland got worse the Warriors got worse Sacramento got worse the Suns lost Deandre ayton for 25 games. In Denver is underachieving as well as Utah.
El-ahrairah Finally someone has mentioned what I have been thinking for ages...Westbrook’s style of play suffocates other players and put a black eye on Donovan’s coaching ability.
Cp3 is one of the last actual point guards left in the league that look to pass before scoring themselves. And shout-out Dennis who is having a breakout season.
Chris Paul is a great leader and if james harden had let cp play his game and play off the ball instead being a ball hag houston would have won a nba tittle
Everyone knew Shai would start (he's playing up to my expectations, and I'm loving his game), and Gallo is a really nice player that can spread the floor to give space for Adams and Shai to work. Schroder for 6MOTY. He's a big reason they're doing so well.
Josuke Higashikata of course you don’t. And why will you not expect him not to make an impact? After all, he played with a ball hog in James Harden. And if you kept up with his workout this offseason, you will have realize that he is not done yet
@@younggggggg It's less to do with an aging Chris Paul and more to do with an all star like Paul George and an MVP who averaged a triple double for 3 seasons straight in Westbrook. Nobody but OKC fans and die hard CP fans would dare bet they'd make the playoffs so soon.
Did everyone forget how promising the Suns looked at the start of the season but then immediately got worse as soon as Ayton came back after the suspension?
They have absolutely nothing to lose. No pressure at all. No expectations. They can do whatever the hell they want. 950th View 99th Thumbs Up 22nd Comment
I remember me and my brother talking before the season saying how they needed to get CP3 out of here. Boyy..... I look now CP3 out there having fun and too young players SGA and Dennis are learning from him
5 championships in 3 decades(1 in 90s, 3 in 00s and 1 in 10s) with almost the same crew is just simply outstanding. Now that crew are gone it would take years again for them to get back on track.
POPOVITCH IS OVERRATED AND HE IS SO ARROGANT, SEE THE DISASTER HE DID WITH TEAM USA: HE IS SA GREAT COACH WHEN HIS TEAM IS FULL OF STARS, HE DIDN'Y EVEN KNOW HOW TO HARVEST THE BEST OUT OF KAWHI AND SOME CLEVERER COACH ATE THE FRUIT OUTTA THE BOY
They'll get worse when Gallo and CP3 leave next season. But they'll be title contenders by 2026 with their dozen first round picks lined up over the next 3-4 seasons.
They are coming back on most of their matches like against the mavericks or grizzlies which is so mind blowing and surprising, im so proud and ngl i was one of those people who didnt expect anything from okc this season but ive been proved wrong...
Been an Okc fan since the start. Every Thunder fan knew we had a solid team still and might sniff a few playoff games ,but this is crazy how well they all mesh together!
I love the thunder getting respect and attention because there beating hard teams like the clippers and ik they didn’t have kawhi but that’s not an excuse they have plenty other good players
The teams seems to have a better balance this year. I like the style of basketball the team is playing. There are a lot of players contributing on both ends of the court and they have the confidence to win the close ones.
its Adams who makes them good, u could put anyone around him and they will be better. westbrook whilst good as he was the reason they lost and not the reason they made playoffs last year.
No one expected the OKC thunder to do good at all this season at all when they traded Westbrook , but they got back so much from that trade tho , but man Andy hoops video on a Sunday huh ? Quite a surprise
Facts. My first thought of the Thunder was really a 2017-18 Clippers where they completely given away their Big 3 and start to rebuild. Then playing better, exceeding all the expectations before the season.
They are in a great place, but now they need to choose, keeping this core in order to make the playoff, or trying to trade the good veterans like CP3, Gallinari, Adams... for another young players and draft picks. It's a pretty tough decision
Half man half amazing make a run for the playoffs (more money for the owner) more press, more free agents likely to join next year & they already have a bright future ahead with so many draft picks & Shai Alexander emerging
Another thing that helps them is the lower expectations. In the PG/Westbrook era the expectations were at least 2nd round, maybe even WCF. Now people are happy with them just making the playoffs.
I swear everyone sleeps on galinari man can shoot and is a good team player overall im a nuggets fan and loved him in denver but im glad hes still heating up in okc
Some of their wins and losses are close games. They're closing the game with Paul-Shroeder-SGA-Gallinari-Adams line up. Those 3 guard line up is so good because they can defend bigger match-ups. If the games is close, I have confidence that they will win it like the Miami Heat team.
I'm from the future and the Thunder just had a top 5 defense and top 3 offense this past season and finished as the 1st seed in the West SGA is a superstar Jaylen Williams and Chet Holmgren are all star level players and the Thunder just added Alex Caruso and Isaiah Hartenstien
I sincerely don't know why people thought OKC were going to be bad this season. A team led by arguably a top 10 PG all time, the strongest man in the NBA, one of the best shooters in the NBA, a bench led by Schröder and Noel. And SGA who made the all rookie second team last year. And now they have a great core and a very bright future.
As a thunder fan, this brings a smile to my face
Im also a Thunder fan and im about to cry, im so happy
YEAAAA THUNDER UP🐐🐐🐐
@@darrenzhou7094 thats right
Same
me too, i love it
Nobody thought Shai would be on the bench everybody knew he would start
When rookie season with clippers i suprised Shai be starter PG.
I don’t get it shai can play sg
We didnt know who he was
Jacob Ramage I knew who he was. I always thought he was underrated now he is really important for us
Maybe for people who don't follow OKC
Billy Donovan has room to coach instead of maneuvering around egos and politics, hopefully they keep progressing they’re in a really good position...
Fr my dad was always saying how bad a coach Billy was but I was trying to tell him that he hasn’t been coaching with Westbrook in the game cause he just ignores him
With THOSE draft picks...they are definitely in good position
RennWickam Westbrook is a coach killer. I was one of the few that didn’t blame KD for leaving. He wasn’t gonna win anything with Westbrook around.
So much truth
@@RennWickam wb was always the problem because nobody ever stepped up to control him kd was too weak, harden is doing a good job because harden is a better leader.
CP3, Gallinari, Adams, SGA, and Schroeder is a really nice core, if they can add a good SF they could surprise in the playoffs
Fr, I’ve been saying that if we gave Russ and PG players like Gallinari and SGA, theyd have done much better. But they were given TFerg and Grant (great in his own right), but still.
if you think about it they’re only gonna get better with all the draft picks they got, even with cp3 aging
StackinRax with these future draft picks they can slowly replace CP3, with the young guy learning from CP3.
No, OKC need solid player for bench. I know they have Schroder and Noel but its not enough
Is Roberson ever gonna come back?
Chris Paul is still a top 5 PG in the league. He came into OKC with a great attitude and tries his best even though its not his preferred destination.
That and Gallinari and Adams are grossly underrated.
Top 5 is a bit of a strech, top 7-9 makes more sense
obi_the_president his best years were in New Orleans, Charlotte and OKC (during Katrina). I don’t think he minds the location. He just wants to be relevant.
Top 5 (no Order) Curry, Dame, Kyrie, Kemba, westbrook
@@breadman9893 westbrook is overrated, Brooklyn is much better without Kyrie and you are missing LeBron whose been playing pg all year (should have done it his entire career tbh) also harden is better in every single meaningful stat so you can't put Westbrook above him either.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been really underrated this year, I think he’s of one the main reasons the Thunder are doing unexpectedly well.
El-ahrairah I think a lot of people don’t realize how well SGA is doing this year
He just had a 30 point game a few days ago...I don't understand how he's still underrated by anyone. His game has went up leaps and bounds.

Some of their wins and losses are close games. They're closing the game with Paul-Shroeder-SGA-Gallinari-Adams line up. Those 3 guard line up is so good because they can defend bigger match-ups. If the games is close, I have confidence that they will win it like the Miami Heat team.
Now I know where I heard this music! Tony Baker’s movie reviews!
I'm from the future and the Thunder just had a top 5 defense and top 3 offense this past season and finished as the 1st seed in the West SGA is a superstar Jaylen Williams and Chet Holmgren are all star level players and the Thunder just added Alex Caruso and Isaiah Hartenstien
Thank you, Andy!
As so happy as a true thunder fan
Hopefully they can keep this up after the all star break.
I sincerely don't know why people thought OKC were going to be bad this season. A team led by arguably a top 10 PG all time, the strongest man in the NBA, one of the best shooters in the NBA, a bench led by Schröder and Noel. And SGA who made the all rookie second team last year. And now they have a great core and a very bright future.
