I get what you are saying, but I don’t know what you tell a group of guys that are this young, this talented and most importantly, this together. I think Shai sitting the last couple games was conceding the MVP was lost and I do expect them to make sure he is healthy. As for the Lakers, I will double down, F those assholes.
They are very good.

But, they aren’t doing anything we haven’t seen before.

If they win it all?

Historic shit.

But….. I honestly see the Thunder as the NBA version of small market Fab 5, without the baggy shorts.

Good.

Not ready.

I understand, you are just wrong on the “not doing anything new” thing though, in my opinion. The combination of top 3 offensive and defensive efficiency ratings, along with the shooting rankings has not happened before at this stage of a teams development. In fact the offensive and defensive thing alone has happened less than 40 times over the last 40 seasons. That’s for any team. So maybe, just maybe, these guys are different. They have to prove it when it counts.

Giddey came out this week and says how hard it was to be the guy that was left open. He said he just decided he was going to start punishing people and I’ll be damned that is what he is doing.

Just looked at the remaining schedules and unless the heat do some wild shit like don't lose a game this week then I see no way how they pass Indiana. They may have a better chance of catching and passing Orlando

Bro just say you are a homer and stop with the paragraphs

I get it. Murray, MPJ, and Gordon are all horrible players and should be in the gleague

MPJ and Gordon maybe...but the Lakers will take Murray...might even be willing to give up Gabe Vincent for him.

Do you actually watch basketball?

I only ask because that statement makes it seem like you don't.
I was talking in comparison to Joker as that’s who his MVP potential was being compared to. I was pointing out how Jokic clears him on the Offensive and Defensive side of the ball unless you are strictly talking about points only.

Yeah, no.

You are just sipping the Kool aid a bit to hard.

This isn’t even the best young Thunder team we’ve seen.

That distinction belongs to the 2011-12 Thunder.

Shit if I wanna be super petty, I can bring up the Kemp Sonics.

They don’t get extra points because they are in their 1st and 2nd year in some cases.

What they are doing is cool.

It is not historic.

They aren’t even the best team on either end of the court this season.
