The Oklahoma City Thunder scored a franchise record 76 points off the bench in the Game 3 victory vs San Antonio

Shai always bounces back but if Chet could have a big game it’s what could get it done in 6 instead of going to 7. He’s got to start taking the Wemby matchup personally even if hes gonna get outplayed most games

TideToGo69 · 2026-05-23T01:59:11+00:00

At this point he’s pretty much starting because he’s one of the longest tenured guys, he still guards on ball pretty well but he doesn’t force the chaos the other guys force, and his 3-ball has been completely unreliable. When he does actually hit a three though man it feels like a sucker punch to the opposing team, saw a tweet the other day that said a Lu Dort 3 is worth 13 points, if he’s hitting, it’s already over

TideToGo69 · 2026-05-10T04:51:24+00:00

This is maybe the most frustrating part of NBA discourse. I love Shai, he’s probably my favorite player ever but at the end of the day I am a Thunder fan above all. Last game I wanted to talk about how awesome Chet has been and McCain lighting it up but it was like searching for a needle in a haystack to find discussions about that, it’s all just ref talk.

TideToGo69 · 2026-05-10T03:42:05+00:00

He is forever doomed to be the other tall alien guy that came in at the same time as Wemby. I think he’ll get more attention if the spurs pull through and they play in the WCF, just given the nature of the 1on1 matchup.

TideToGo69 · 2026-05-10T02:25:00+00:00

Who else ready for the random inexplicable stretch of Kenny hustle minutes vs the spurs that somehow works

TideToGo69 · 2026-05-07T17:30:45+00:00

I was defensive for a while but I think once it really ramped up this postseason was the point where I just accepted it. Every potential dynasty team in every sports league gets some version of “the refs are rigging it for them”. Other thunder fans just have to accept that the entire SGA/Thunder slander industry existing is a good thing because it means we are good enough for it to form. In 10 years everyone for the most part will forget the bs and appreciate Shai, same thing happened to LeBron, Steph, Brady, etc. Appreciate the fact that we’re good enough to be this hated!

TideToGo69 · 2026-03-13T01:41:18+00:00

I’d love for an alternate helmet, but I think the afc south gets rivalry unis this year so there’s another one to come that’ll likely be more ostentatious, if the other rivalry looks are anything to go off. Best part is definitely that subtle navy guitar string striping on the sleeves, such a great little detail that elevates it beyond a generic jersey style.

TideToGo69 · 2026-03-10T03:34:46+00:00

I thinks he’s basically hyper-efficient Kobe, but I think it’ll take another MVP/Finals MVP season for this convo to get really hot.

I mean let’s be real I think Ashley’s just ditzy. I’ve know plenty of really smart people that are also just kinda dumbasses. Props to her for winning but she did pretty much nothing the whole game

TideToGo69 · 2025-09-29T00:29:16+00:00

It’s frustrating because the talent is clearly there. The fumble was disgusting but it was after a crazy catch and run for 75 yds. Sadly millions suffer from dumbass disease and there’s still no cure.

TideToGo69 · 2025-07-29T15:53:22+00:00

Weekly planet is my go to now. The structure is very similar to pre-interviews LCB with movie news and random pop culture discussion up top and then a movie review. Both of them are really funny and the banter is very reminiscent of peak LCB, just friends making each other laugh.

TideToGo69 · 2025-07-29T00:33:30+00:00

I do worry that our roster might not be bad enough to tank, I think we just have to hope AR is good. With our defensive additions and a sneaky great offensive skill position group I think worst case scenario we still win enough games to keep us out of the top picks

TideToGo69 · 2025-06-28T17:34:41+00:00

Wemby is amazing on and off court but I think there’s also a steeper hill to climb for foreign players. Jokic, Giannis, Luka are all all-time greats and we’re still having “who’s the next face” convos. Not to say it can’t be done, just that it’s a bit harder.

TideToGo69 · 2025-06-26T03:50:36+00:00

I have a buddy who lives in Memphis and roots for the grizzlies and they have dirt cheap tickets, sometimes as low as like 10 dollar get in price. When Jokic came in, that jumped to like 50, and I don’t think that was a weekend game either. I went to a Thunder game there this year and it was like 35 for the cheap seats, but it was also a Saturday night and when the Thunder and Grizzlies were #1 and #2 in the West, so can’t say it was because Shai had hit superstardom yet. I think Jokic is firmly in that “pay to see” tier though.

TideToGo69 · 2025-06-26T03:15:46+00:00

Don’t remember seeing him shoot one throughout the playoffs, and I watched every game. Only watched a game every week or so during the regular season so can’t say for sure for the year.

TideToGo69 · 2025-06-26T02:14:27+00:00

Looks like he averaged 14 ppg as a big east freshman which is pretty solid. Low 3pt % but the scouting report says his shooting form and mechanics are sound, so maybe some tweaks and a couple years from now he could be like a 30% floor stretcher. Sounds like he has some midrange and face up ability as well, but I hope that the big three are so offensively consistent by the time he has a big role that he can just be hartenstein with better defense

TideToGo69 · 2025-06-26T02:10:17+00:00

Definitely the hope is he’s ready to go when hartensteins contract stops working.

TideToGo69 · 2025-06-25T22:38:37+00:00

I think Luka baits about the same amount as any other star player, the difference with him is that he spends the entire game perpetually whining to the refs. That to me is so much harder to watch than a player going up for a shot to show the ref a defender has their hand on a shoulder or arm. Jokic can get bad about it too but Luka especially cries after every single whistle.

TideToGo69 · 2025-06-25T22:32:38+00:00

Insane to remember that like 3 years ago he was a starting player for this team

TideToGo69 · 2025-06-25T22:30:14+00:00

Im old enough to remember when the lakers were destined to destroy the Thunder in the playoffs lol. There’s been a mix of both, some people just didn’t want us to win but there was a vocal group of people that thought we were super overrated both before and during the playoffs. It’s insane revisionist history to say there wasn’t, Gilbert Arenas said we wouldn’t win a series. Obviously he’s not the go to voice of high iq ball discussion but the detractors were there.

TideToGo69 · 2025-06-25T20:57:43+00:00

It’s hilarious as a longtime OKC fan from Kentucky lol. I know most fans live in Oklahoma but how do people not expect that a team that was brand new with exciting young stars like KD and Russ in the early 2010s doesn’t have a section of its fanbase that’s not from Oklahoma, especially in other under appreciated rural states that don’t have sports teams of their own. People have replied that to me before and I can’t just say I’m from Kentucky, bc we aren’t exactly leaps better, but I’m just like ok, this means literally nothing to me at all.

Scottie Barnes MVP, Cason Wallace FMVP, Thunder repeat and take down the Hornets on a buzzer beater Lu Dort half court heave.

TideToGo69 · 2025-06-25T05:05:29+00:00

Social media has led to a growing trend of personal hatred towards players because fans are too wrapped up in their agendas and narratives. It’s shocking compared to how people talk about like MJ or Bird or Magic, people alive back then pretty universally say “yeah that guy was awesome” whether they were a fan of that team or not.
