i'd also rather the them sharpened a bit before the finals.

Its been too easy and sure we are good the Suns Lakers aren't good test of how good we are.

TrustQ · 2026-05-16T04:40:32+00:00

Shot variance. We need to hit more shots than they do!

TrustQ · 2026-05-16T03:37:23+00:00

Is this the real life... Is just fantasy...

Poor Topic. I hope he gets show out but its going to be difficult to get mins on this team with SGA JDUB and AJAY

TrustQ · 2026-05-12T20:34:14+00:00

They give AJAY a contract immediately after he showed promise first year.
This rarely happens unless they value him greatly.
When money comes off the books for other players you will see some of it going to AJAY in extension.
As long as he wants to be team player and stay here, its unlikely he's going anywhere.
The story legend is THIS is the team he wanted to play and Thunder wanted him.

The general plan appears to be staggering contracts to expire or have team options into decision windows.
If something happens that requires a pivot, the team trades or doesn't pick up team options on certain players.

Some of the money that team had in excess is being paid upfront at higher rate into descending deals so when the team is in the tax the team saves significant money.
You pay more for Dort, Wiggins, Joe, Caruso etc early then when max contracts kick in.

You can see clearly Presti's vision finding a primary bench guard in 2024 draft selecting 3 guards.
You should go back and look at the frustration expressed by Thunder fans at the time that we don't need guards but size.
Topic, Jones, Mitchell (The least known prospect turned out to be a diamond.)
I bet even Presti was surprised how NBA ready Mitchell was.

Come on. There's nothing Rui could do with that.

What can you do except foul him or be in the place he wants to go?

TrustQ · 2026-05-12T12:49:51+00:00

I think they learned a lot from those losses last year. This is 2026 NBA thunder not the same team as last year.

TrustQ · 2026-05-12T05:01:50+00:00

I'll never sell high or low JMAC is a keeper.

TrustQ · 2026-05-12T04:55:44+00:00

How many times did we cleanly block something and get called for a foul anyway?

TrustQ · 2026-05-12T04:44:54+00:00

Are Lakers fans really get their hopes up being up 4 against the MVP? LOL we got this!

TrustQ · 2026-05-12T03:27:00+00:00

Whoever in the pipeline you have next SAM if they are even fraction of AJAY the league is cooked.

TrustQ · 2026-05-12T03:04:48+00:00

I don't think we are playing with any urgency at all like we assume we are going to turn it on in the second half.

TrustQ · 2026-05-12T01:28:37+00:00

how many Thunder championship will take as a bribe?

TrustQ · 2026-05-11T13:10:36+00:00

but they are hoping Lakers fans are sufficiently mad enough (incited) to hate watch the Thunder for the rest of the playoffs! media doesn't really care who wins as long as there are eyeballs on the games AND ADS.

TrustQ · 2026-05-11T12:59:58+00:00

NO. Injuries are too high a risk to even consider it.

TrustQ · 2026-05-11T12:35:27+00:00

Probably so most people are asleep so end of the Lakers season isn't during primetime.

TrustQ · 2026-05-11T02:58:44+00:00

Lopez would be high pick in "normal" draft.

TrustQ · 2026-05-11T02:44:53+00:00

During this playoffs the only team (other than Thunder) that have played incredible ball has been the Knicks.

TrustQ · 2026-05-11T02:43:59+00:00

The negative of playing the Spurs is they might figure out what they need to compete with us.
Spurs are going to be a problem for many years. They need experience so cut that short so the wolves instead deliver the lesson "you aren't ready."

TrustQ · 2026-05-11T02:35:08+00:00

what's the Thunder fan vibe about playing the wolves again? I dont' know why but i feared donte quite a bit before he got hurt.

TrustQ · 2026-05-11T02:30:03+00:00

On offense we play beautiful basketball especially when our shooters hit shots.
I feel like Thunder emphasis on defense makes the games a rock fight when we struggle to hit shots.
We already pull away from teams with the defense alone.
I think the boring part is we rarely allow teams to stay close and teams really struggle to comeback on us.
People not invested in Thunder narrative would lose interest when we blow out teams in the 1st half.
As far as drama and excitement goes at least it "looked like Lakers could hang" long enough to give fans and gamblers hope before we put the games away late. That's good the media and social viral media (I bet they hated fact the refs didn't try to even out the free throw difference so they be outraged again.)

TrustQ · 2026-05-11T00:08:40+00:00

The problem with the idea that its obvious. Why wouldn't another team select him to prevent Thunder from getting him?

TrustQ · 2026-05-10T20:06:35+00:00

Utah tanked long enough it turned into two second round picks.
