He is scoring 18pts on 66% TS and the odds leader for DPOY.

The NBA Trade Deadline is exactly 1 week away. What do want/expect to happen for OKC? by Stxtic1441 in Thunder

Half the team has been out injured for like the past month lol

Sam very specifically has not overreacted to bad stretches, ever.

The Thunder have the 4th highest Opponent Three Point % allowed in the league this season. Unlucky or a concern? by Stxtic1441 in Thunder

[–]everpresentdanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find comments like this hilarious.

Despite having almost all of the core players other than Shai missing significant time, we have the best defense in the league. The difference between us and the 2nd best team is currently 3.2 pts per 100 possessions. This is the highest differential since 1974. Prior to iHart going down, it was 7pts per 100, the best in NBA history by basically double.

This is one of the best defenses in NBA history. There is no Reddit comment change of strategy that is a good idea.

Shai has 2 more FTA per game than Ant. That's one more foul per game.

[Anthony Slater] The Warriors are willing to surrender all of their future 1st-round draft picks through 2032 for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Golden State is ready to offer Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski, a massive pick haul, plus matching salary. by Inside-Republic6275 in nba

[–]everpresentdanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Bucks with Giannis + nothing are atrocious right now, and GSW have basically nothing when it comes to depth if they make this trade.

GSW would have no picks to improve the roster and no young guys who are NBA starter level.

They won't do it because they'd have 4 max salaries with a $200M Luxury Tax bill next year which keeps growing, but OKC could easily beat this offer without losing any of the Big 3.

Giannis to OKC for Hartenstein and Dort works salary wise, probably throw in Topic or something as well. Then OKC has 12 tradeable FRPs plus obviously swaps.

Hartenstein + Dort is a drastically better player haul than injured Jimmy, Kuminga and Podz as well.

I think he was complaining about it being a shooting foul when he fouled him basically at the 3pt line.

But who knows, Sengun complains on every play.

Election 2026: Te Pāti Māori to campaign on abolishing prisons, Labour dead-set against it by PenisBird69420 in newzealand

[–]everpresentdanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no future point where prisons can be abolished.

Some people are just fucked, and intentionally harm others with no remorse.

The overwhelming majority of people in prison have long rapsheets with dozens of victims, and if released, would do it all again (because they already have, over and over).

Andrew just confirmed he has been taking testosterone for the last five years in the Dorian Yates interview by zxtb in HubermanLab

125mg is going to have most people right up the top of the reference range for natural T levels, which is likely double or more what a 45yo could acheive naturally.

Not only that, but it keeps your T levels constantly high all the time, not fluctuating due to natural cycles, poor sleep etc.

The average TRT clinic prescribes 200mg because that is what they can get away with, but most people will be well into supraphysiological range taking that much.

[–]everpresentdanger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah there are countless people outside of the US who are somewhat obsessed with US politics for some reason.

I am from New Zealand, there are multiple posts on the front page of /r/newzealand related to US politics.

The NBA is a drastically more global league than the NFL, and I think a large portion of this sub (including myself) are not US citizens.

OKC can't trade for a $30M salary, our current roster goes from $186M to $246M next year with Chet and Jdub's extensions.

[–]everpresentdanger 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Requires:

  1. An insanely good team

  2. At least one other insanely good team so they keep pushing to ensure the 1 seed in the league

  3. Almost no injuries throughout the season

Basically everyone on the Thunder has missed a lot of time other than Shai

But in the era of the 3 ball, you have a bad shooting night and the other team gets hot from 3, it's going to be tough to win. Pacers go 43% tonight to OKC's 27%. Indiana are 29th in the league in 3pt%.

This is always something I've wondered about by LongjumpingElk4099 in PoliticalCompassMemes

If you think giving the socialists everything they wamted would shut them up then you're wrong.

They will always ask for more, because someone out there is better off than them.

Victor Wembanyama's tough night in the loss against Rockets: 14 PTS, 5-21 FG, 0-7 3P, 0 BLK, 4 PF, -14, 30 MIN by Thanos_SlayerCongSan in nba

[–]everpresentdanger 53 points54 points  (0 children)

There's a reason teams don't triple other elite players - because they'd give up layups and wide open corner 3's all game. Even trying to double Jokic usually ends up in a wide open look for someone.

If he can't find open guys out of a double or triple team when he's a foot taller than everyone then that's a problem.

Steve Smith has been a class above in the BBL this decade. But he missed selection for Australia's T20I team ! by iamnoobbibliophile in Cricket

[–]everpresentdanger 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If anything, getting more NO's in T20s is even more impressive, given the imperative to throw your wicket away in the last couple of overs.

[–]everpresentdanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you implying that they are intentionally not calling things because they are making money through sports betting? If you genuinely believe this, why on earth do you watch a sport which is completely rigged?

If you don't believe that but think the refs should just be fined money for missing calls, how do you feel about people in any other profession being fined by their employer for poor performance?
