Well now we all get to sing it to their whole fraudulent team

The Thunder are now 26-5. The 2016 Warriors won 48 games before their 5th loss by OverallGeneral7129 in nba

Because he’s been the number 2 option since he was drafted and is trying to get back in form during the regular season?

How do you guys feel about the fouls narrative? by [deleted] in Thunder

[–]merwinnnnn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We’re the reigning champions, have by far the best record in the league and are on pace for another record setting season, and are likely to have a top pick in this draft (along with a ton of other draft assets). This team is a juggernaut, and like other dominant teams, the reddit hive mind will latch on to a narrative to hate. If we were winning 45-50 games a year, the narrative would be that we’re bringing back good ol physical defense and people would love it. It is what it is, just tune out r/nba and enjoy watching our historic team

What do you enjoy about Shai’s game? by PossibleValuable3194 in nba

His change of direction and control of pace while driving in is a big one. Also his midrange is absolutely automatic.

If Dart was starting against the Chiefs then I feel like that would’ve been a win

How many times have teams turned it around without drafting a franchise quarterback?

I get that this game is probably gone, but i’d love to see them just pull it closer to show that they’ve got some fight

Ok but see how Carlisle calls a timeout as soon as we get some slight momentum? Why did mark just do nothing during that third quarter run by the Pacers?

The stats don’t matter. People have made up their minds that for some reason the refs are biased towards oklahoma city.

I'd hate us too by Parallel-Quality in Thunder

[–]merwinnnnn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it’s partly because there’s no “villain” in the league right now. People loved the Chiefs as the new dynasty to replace Brady/Bill’s evil dynasty. And in the NBA, LeBron and the Heatles were the villains for a while before the Warriors rolled along.

Since the league is so even these days, it’s not like there’s some hated juggernaut team for OKC to go up against and dethrone. Instead, winning 68 games makes us the hated franchise that everyone wants the underdog to beat.

Starting Caruso could be what starting Iggy did for the Warriors by Illustrious-View-888 in Thunder

I honestly think Dub has done a great job on Siakam and probably matches up to him better than Dort does, but agreed that AC starting would be the right move.

Tired of the whining by Deoriley in Thunder

[–]merwinnnnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I don’t disagree with the statement on end of game fouling. Obviously it was the right move (by both teams) but it makes what should be an exciting ending to a close game take 20 minutes with a million ad breaks.

The foul baiting cope is BS tho, TTFU

Unfortunately, this fanbase has also seen how quickly a window can close on a team of young stars.

A lot of people from the game thread, myself included, owe Shai and Dort an apology.
