  1. Rockets should have grabbed Harden. Say what you want about his playoff scoring performances, he’s the floor general they need. I don’t really think they would have been forced to get rid of any core pieces either. Him and KD were one hamstring away from an NBA finals last time they played together.

  2. I love how before they played any good teams and were 24-1 people were saying they’d win 73 games and this year would be boring, now that their very injured and losing games obviously, their not contenders

  3. doubting and hating on the thunder is just free engagement bait. injuries happen the constant overreacting in nba media is just pathetic thunder are still heavy favorites. didn't even have ajay mitchell or jared mccain last year when they finally get healthy they're gonna be very hard to beat

  4. Im a lakers fan but ive always respect coach malone and passion for the game, he is someone you can sit and listen for hours talk about the game

  5. If the refs officiate fairly they will be dethroned. They are a Mickey Mouse team with all those whistles, flopping, and no calls when they hack. We've seen it all season long. When refs officiate games evenly, they lose. If OKC can hack the other team, the other team should be able to as well without getting a whistle. It's that simple. lol

  6. Listening to Perk talk and envisioning his brain trying to catch up with his mouth is comical. It like watching a baby deer take its first steps in rush hour traffic. Nothing good is happen. lol lol lol

  7. This is ridiculous lmfao… OKC has literally been the most injured team this year and have still managed to have the best record in the league lol one thing about the thunder organization is they’re gonna prioritize their players’ health over ANYTHING! This team will most likely be healthy and whole come playoff time and they’ll be back to looking unbeatable

  8. Thank you, Windy, for being the voice of reason. OKC will not rush these guys back until their healthy. If they do it right, they should have a healthy team by playoffs. And what if SA or Denver gets season ending injuries? You just don't know and there's still plenty of season left! Therefore, OKC should still be the favorite. Sure, they've leveled out lately mostly due to injuries, but let's not forget, they're still the same team that went 24-1 (plus added McCain), they could easily end the season in a similar fashion. The fear mongering by the media (for ratings) is ridiculous.

  9. OKC took 7 games to put away the Pacers and are wobbling immediately the following season and I'm supposed to belive this is the next dynasty? Lmao riiiight

  10. we now know how invisible the GSW dynasty is! if it wasn't for "saving Lebrons legacy" and the KD Daymond drama, we looking at at least a 7peat, 73 wins record. GSW at the peak is the ONLY team in history that has a shot to get 80 wins if they REALLY want it!! Curry Top 3 All Time easily, too bad he entered league at 22, didn't get serious minutes till late 20s

  11. OKC will be fine, but Mark will have some decisions to make with who get pt, Shai, Lu, Dub, Chet, Hart… Caso, Ajay, Wiggins, Caruso, J. Will… McCain, Joe, Kendrich, Plumlee

  12. I think all the injuries will be a blessing for the Thunder come playoff time. That is if we're completely healthy. Dub"s back, Topic close to returning. McCain getting back in rhythm. Who knows , Sorber may be ready late April 🎉🎉🎉
