  1. Deni monster triple double in a loss is getting a little too familiar for my liking. Hopefully Jrue is back soon so Deni can have them in some wins.

  2. No healthy point guard to run the offense? Deni can do it.

    Starting center out and need someone to grab rebounds? Deni can do that too.

    First option on offense and can seemingly play any role on the team. This man deserves to be on an all-star team this year.

  3. Look, it sucks that we lost, obviously i wanted that 2nd W against OKC. But i think im coming away from this game with a much bigger win in mind… Is it not clear at this point that Deni is a star? One of the greatest teams in league history had absolutely no answer for him. Deni IS that guy, build around him. Surround this dude with competent 3 point shooters and we are in business. We have our franchise player

  4. One really bad minute of basketball cost us this game but it’s nice to see us competitive against the best. Deni is insane.

  5. Deni Avdija tonight:

    ▫️31 PTS

    ▫️19 REB

    ▫️10 AST

    ▫️6/14 FG

    ▫️19/23 FT

    ▫️1 TO (!!)

    Avdija was the best player on the court by a mile.

  6. I just want to see what our healthy roster is capable of.

    Also.. many okc fans in their subreddit are pathetic.

  7. Can’t get too mad at this one, they had multiple chances down the stretch and weren’t able to out-execute the defending champs. It happens.

    Deni showed a lot, Toumani got some rhythm. RW3 looked great and so did Jerami.

    A good game overall, just not enough to get a W.

  8. turns out the Thunder really wanted to win this game in the 4th. with a healthy J Dubbs, Chet and Shai on the floor i’m not sure what more we could’ve done. it was a good game

  9. Was good to see Toumani making his threes. And that dime to Timelord was sweet. This team gonna be nasty when everyone’s healthy.

  10. Kris really has his thing down well (rebounding, D, driving and keeping the dribble to give the offense a different angle) and I’m liking his stroke from 3 when he has the time/space.

  11. Thunder fans bitching all over Twitter about the officiating, the lack of self awareness is hilarious

  12. What is wrong with! Sharpe? I don’t think he will ever be dominant, so talented yet so passive.

  13. Very competitive game from the team. This had all the makings of a blowout with how injured we are and the guys were in it til the end. Very impressive with how healthy OKC is compared to us right now. Clingan plays this game maybe we get the W. But my god do we need some consistent shooters. Deni works his tail off to generate open looks that usually end in a brick 

  14. Can’t be mad about a competitive game with the champs while we missing half a team. I really can’t wait to see us at full strength.

  15. Look on the bright side, we don’t have to watch shai play basketball for almost the whole next month! 

  16. Deni probably would have 15 assists tonight if his teammates hits half of the open shot he generate.

  17. The absolute pab thunder fans crying about deni’s free throws. I hate that fucking pab ass fanbase.

  18. Thunder post game thread is 50% posts calling Deni a foul merchant and 50% racist posts about Deni.
    I guess that’s what you get when most of your fanbase is teenagers bandwagoning the championship.

  19. Where’s the clip of Murray “foul” on SGA? I couldn’t believe my eyes & ears when I saw the play & heard the whistle. Let’s compare

  20. Deni deserves all the flowers, but man Kris Murray and Camara are our workhorses. Both play great defense and are awesome pieces to have.

    Hope Tou can build on this shooting night.
    Murray is so good with offensive rebounds. There are times he grabs it and goes up strong which is great. I hate when he turns away from the rim and passes it out. If we had good shooters, then maybe do this. But we don’t. We just need rim pressure and more attempts.

  21. Went to the Thunder sub and they’re having a conniption fit over Deni being a foul merchant… Softest fanbase in the league. I have no respect for them whatsoever. Stolen team. Bring back the sonics.

  22. Deni is like K Love back when he was on the Timberwolves, putting up monster numbers you couldn’t ignore, that’s why he was a perennial all star even though he was on a losing team. I see no reason why Deni couldn’t be an all star.
