Fun game! Let’s head back home. Thunder up!
Chet just trolled Miami with a rare stat padding block
Chet turned it over just to get the 3rd block lol
Chet being mad at himself at the end bc of the turnover was my favorite part of the game. Winning mentality.
C H E T. H O L M G R E N.
Chet turning it over just to statpad blocks smh
NO J-dub didnt even get that 1 rebound 😩
GG’s Thunder, that was a fun one to watch although we took that L. SGA is stupid good and Chet really is impressive. Ya’ll got a bright future.
Sidenote: Herro WTF were you thinking!?
JDub is absolutely disgusting
Shout out to Duncan Robinson for being the 16th Thunder player
Not even a triple double for J Dub. What a fraud /s
Good gutsy win tonight boys, now it’s time for some home games
Still yet to hold a team under 120 this year. Need that Thunder defense to show up in first qtr.
Jdub growing into the 2nd best ball handler/playmaker on this team is huge
Even JDub was mad at not getting his TD lmaoo
Where’s that post that wanted Herro on the Thunder lmao
Great team win
Jdub was already having a good season, but last 5-6 games he’s been really stepping up. Rebounds, assists, finishing all taking a leap.
Streets needed the JDub TD.
Where is SteveO when you need him!?
That’s it. Naming my first child ‘23-‘24 Thunder
Box score says Chet had 3 blocks. We all know he had 5. Get your shit together NBA
Heat fan here just to say you guys are really good, Chet played great, it was a great game, would love to meet you in the NBA finals.
Great win! Jdub looking like the bearded one with PnR plays with Chet. Our lack of size and rim protection for the Chet less minutes was problematic for some parts of the game but we shot through it.
MAN I LOVE THIS TEAM
Vasa minutes are getting better and better, I think he was like +16 tonight in the limited time he was in. It is amazing that whether 5 mins or 20 he always ends his nights with 5-7 assists. Idk how useful he will be come playoffs because of his defense, but damn he is amazing to have for Mark in a long regular season where having a floor general really helps situate games.
Our perimeter defence is atrocious since Boston game I don’t understand what happened
the JDub/Chet connection has been looking real nice. Odd decision to start Wallace over Dort 2nd half, but I do think Dort struggles sometimes with quicker players like Herro
Aaron Wiggins 7 minutes is a war crime
Been weirdly quiet from SmartGenius in this sub lately. IYKYK
I don’t think anyone in the league is having more fun than Dub. He is so calm and so a killer at the same time. What a treat to watch. Also he’s my favorite post game interview.
What a fun, phenomenal game. The more I watch, the more impressed I am by JDubs. Giddey too, I think your offense runs at its best with Giddey and SGA in the backcourt.
While I think Giddey will have limited closing minutes for the time being it was a very good close by him in the last couple of minutes, that will definitely boost his confidence. Nice steal, rebounding well and that pass to Chet was all positives
The Jalen Williams Leap is really happening now. He looks 5 times more comfortable being the best player on the floor than he did in November and his two man game with Chet is turning into a real weapon. Shai is great and Chet is good with a lot of potential, but if Jalen can dominate when Shai is either getting doubled or sitting, the ceiling of this team goes up in the playoffs. Excited to see him continue to build on these performances.
Team is all vibes
mark postgame comments:
‘there’s an uncommon maturity about the team. a lot of it is who they are as individuals’
‘the start of the second quarter and fourth quarter units were tough at the start of the year. but they’ve worked though it together, especially chet and jdub’
‘we’ve had some success and won some games but we need to be a team that continuously improves, looks at our experiences in an unemotional way, focuses on improving’
‘shai sees the big picture about as well as anybody that is where he is at this stage of his career. he knows we have to have an investor’s mindset if you want to reap returns like an investor’
‘we just try to continuously improve and rinse and repeat 82 times and if you do that and stack that up you’re going to be the best team that you can be and we have to be okay with where that lands us’
‘we want to be a team where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts’
‘we had a lot of late arrivals on this trip, a lot of travel, but tonight and vs washington we did a good job of drumming up energy’
gg thunder bros! great game.
Keep climbing those standings…almost to the top!!
might be early to ask this, but what are the chances the starters play tomorrow? headed to that game and hoping to see sga and company
![gif](giphy|UnyGF7evFkN04X24tI|downsized)
You know this team has turned the page when wins don’t even get that many comments on here anymore, it’s to be expected now. TTFU!
I want to paraphrase George Carlin. Our team is stuff and everyone else’s team is s***.
25-11 and just a half a game out of first. You fucking kidding me? This is just insane.
That arena deal is still horseshit though.
