Only from the cartoon character posters that make cameos here.

Not from any of the regulars that I respect. At least not any that I can think of.
Have to think been many but nothing immediately comes to mind......and that was a bad one for sure. Made it sound like the voter who left Hank aaron off his HOF ballot.

Yup, and so many things that give the Thunder reason for optimism when compared to those teams. Neither Memphis or Sacramento were close to the Thunder defensively. Cavs were 5th, Thunder are third. Where the Thunder really shine in the comparisons is shooting the basketball though. Pick a spot, threes, free throws, doesn’t matter, the Thunder shoot the ball better than all those teams. I’m excited and know I damn well should be. I know it would be unheard of, but that’s what this team has been doing all year. The combination of shooting and defense just hasn’t happened this soon before. Let’s do it.
I'd be excited for sure.....but weren't the Cavs the #1 defense in the conference (maybe the NBA) last year? That said...didn't win like OKC has so far this season.

Holy hell this could really be ugly tonight on national TV. No Mitchell and Strus and wont be surprised at all if Levert and Okoro are out (both missed morning shootaround). Cs guys all going.

Unless they take us lightly? Ooph....and likely learned their lesson against LA.

Sorry man, I missed it. I was at my niece’s tournament and got home in time for the 4th after he took the contact on DJJ knee. I’ll take your word for it though. Glad that it was the Dallas staff that was involved in the evaluation. I can’t take any more shit show from Sixers medical team.

Home court is great.

But, they have already proven they can beat the Thunder in OKC.

Sub 8 boards a game is trash for a starting Center.

But, I’m not going along with the Chet narrative against any team outside The Lakers and Denver.
I get it, the Thunder have gone undefeated in Denver, 2-0. This is fun but is why we can’t play these games.

The Knicks play hard that’s what it’s all about…

All the superstars in the league should take note before they are sll booed out of their own arenas

Go Knicks

In a west playoff series, having him at the 5 is only an issue against the Lakers and Nugz.

Maybe the Wolves, if KAT doesn’t play like a bitch.

Everyone else?

Meh
I don’t even feel like AD kills him like that. I think the lakers length bother the other positions more than chet

No doubt.

In 20 games, the real Season begins.

We all know how this ends.

The same way as always.

If they keep the band together?

2024-25 could be the year.

27, 13 and 5 dimes vs 15, 7 and 2 blocks.

He takes his cookies.

But, agree…

If they had another capable big, I’d park Giddey on the bench.

J Dub and Dort can typically guard up a position.

Giddey is getting hunted in the playoffs.

Did Mobley just get injured by his own teammate?

They are going to get something for Giddey this offseason, I’m confident in that. They can use that money to get Joe and Wiggins resigned. Everyone else is under contract. Throw in the Rockets lottery pick unless they get really lucky and yes it looks good. Not giving up this year though!
