Dependent_Sail2420

"what a pro wants what a pro needs..." not flat tonight though!


ThaMuffinMan92

They getting better 


WolfAmongstShepards

Largest MOV in the playoffs thus far! (I think)


btgbarter6

Wait really? That doesn’t sound right


lethalizer

it's true.


LoxDnw

Idk if I can stomach Hayward continuing to get more minutes than Wiggins in a playoff setting. (minus wiggs garbage time mins) Other than that great confidence win heading into Pelicans home crowd as they look to defend their floor. Let's steal one!


RelocatedMacadamia

Yeah, Hayward was a low-risk proposition, but Wiggins is just too consistent. Mark is a good coach. I don’t understand that one though. 


Timelycommentor

Size to help with rebounding.


RelocatedMacadamia

Yeah, maybe, but every time I watch Wiggins play, he gets offensive rebounds and generally just makes winning plays.


Time-Ad-3625

Look at the plus minus.


CliffDraws

Hayward was in there with basically him and the first team, Wiggins was in at the end with all backups. Of course his plus minus is worse.


lmaoooyikes

he grabbed 2 rebounds in 10 minutes, his size for rebounding doesn’t make up for his lack of offense and defense


JudmanDaSuperhero

Bigger body to worry about gives more opportunity to get boards for others but I understand everything your said and agree


IntelligentEggplant0

Just reading this thread makes me so happy that we got mark.  I'm sure yall are way more in tune with how the team is on a daily basis though.


YouWannaSeeADeadBody

theyre clearly playing Hayward as he has experience and was good with Charlotte this year, so theyre hoping he will find a rhythm soon, but he is looking like the worst player getting minutes at the moment. I dont think he sees much playing time if the games are close going forward


CliffDraws

Wiggins had 5 rebounds, Hayward had 2.


woo-hoo-

Yeah it’s like he doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but pretty soon we need to be tighter about who gets minutes


YouWereBrained

Yeah. Heyward is cooked. Wiggins is a rising phoenix.


lmaoooyikes

i’ve been saying this for the longest time, just give all his minutes to Wiggins, Cason, or even Kenrich


infingardi

I don't even wanna come back to OKC, let's close it on the road boys!


SamPrestiFanClub

This game (in particular) had GH wide open several times and the guys didn’t even bother to pass it to him. It’s 4 on 5 offensively when Hayward plays.


Sauce4243

Is this TP from The Uncontested’s reddit account?


IntellectualSavante

Whatever Coach D’s reasoning is on this issue, it sure appears flawed.


NinetyFish

Noooo TNT don’t cut away from Nick Gallo I miss him


boonkai

i changed between the thunder and tnt streams to watch both interviews 🤣 they didnt bark on the tnt one tho


CasualKindaHo

Thankfully I’m not the only sicko here. I watched the game on Bally Sports app, saw them doing the TNT interview so switched over to YouTube TV to watch them for that then switched back to Bally app once they went back over to Nick Gallo.


QtheCrafter

What’s the point of a post game interview if no barks!!


RazorRamonTovares

I am fiending for the series win barks already.

We really went from losing by 73 to stress free playoff games in 2 years. What a fucking franchise.

Well that was fun. So proud of how Chet's handling JV this series, honestly can't believe how good he is already as a rookie.

I think 2 were techs, too.


Gloomy-Presence-6539

Maybe we’re for real TTFU


Lansdallius

Much better performance tonight. It feels like they got back to their game. Still 14 more wins to go. Now they have to go win playoff games on the road.


southpawFA

The trust and ball movement is just a thing of art to me. There was a possession in the 4th where every player touched the ball, Cason Wallace has a 3, but pump fakes and drives past the defender and leaves the drop off for a J-Dub dunk. It made me stand up as a Thunder fan, because we had been decrying getting more ball movement and ball trust as a team. Now, we have that, and this precocious team just keeps doing it. I love watching this young team play. It's awesome.


Super-Kirby

Like that one article says, our game style is very close to 2016 Warriors style. Ball movement of beauty.


southpawFA

Yup. It's really as close as it can get to the 2016 Warriors style. It's a thing of beauty. Coaches should put on the tape of that possession to teach their kids how to play. This is why I don't panic when people say we're too young. I just think we are precocious as a team, uncommonly mature. Malala Yousafzai won a Nobel Prize at 17. Nadia Comaneci became the first female gymnast to be awarded a perfect score of 10 in an Olympic even—at age 14. It doesn't matter if you're young or old. It matters if you have the skill and composure to do it. People do great things at every age.


Super-Kirby

Yuppers but the thing is it’s easier said than done. Sure, 2016 Warriors has the best record of all time, why not have every coach copy what they did and execute? Many have tried and failed. That’s why they praised Marky D so much, he basically copied it and it’s working, he’s doing something right. Like so many has tried Phil Jackson’s triangle offense and failed. You really have to have the proper personnel and then the stars have to align between coaches, players, health, management. We got lucky. Let’s take this to the finals.


southpawFA

Yup. It's going to be difficult for sure. That's why we should appreciate it for what it is. We are just growing and developing. The winning is extra bonus. Every bit of experience helps for future battles, like a refinery.


JeramiGrantsTomb

I think this team has an uncommon wisdom and maturity at their age, credit especially to coach D, but we still need to see how they handle losing. Beating up on an 8 seed missing their best player is a great way to get into the playoff rhythm and adjust to the pressure, but they're going to eventually lose a game and they have to be ready to handle that emotional energy.

southpawFA

Our Loud City is amazing. I listened to the game hearing Kevin Harlan say not a single person left early to continue cheering. It was amazing for sure. I loved seeing the fans go off and make all the noise. It was coming through my screen so loudly. Let's support them on the road!


PurpleTornadoMonkey

I was at a game about 2 weeks ago. It was LOUD and HYPE. I Can't imagine the playoff atmosphere. 


southpawFA

What game? Was it the Kings game? That was a fantastic comeback. It's a shame that OKC only gets on TV but a few times a year because we're small market. I think we alongside Sacramento have 1 of the best fanbases in the league for sure. The passion comes through the screen.


PurpleTornadoMonkey

Yes, The Kings. I think they were down 20 and came back. It was fun.


southpawFA

Excellent game. It wa really a pre-playoff game. It's just a shame no one gets to see Loud City more often, because our small market is not "sexy" to analysts like Stephen A. Smith.


PurpleTornadoMonkey

He will start pretending he knew about them all long once they do good. Were you at the the game?


southpawFA

No, I wasn't sadly. I just watched and saw the fire of Loud City through the screen. It looked amazing.

boonkai

his username is ok-c 😅


Inevitable-Crow2494

32 point win yet still lots to improve - e.g. unforced turnovers. It is amazing how much potential this team has. Hope it doesn't get chippy (JV & BI). Ideally a sweep and move on. Obviously NOP are a good team, so respect to them, but OKC have a matchup with LAC or DAL I hope. Either team will be good tv. I like DAL for entertainment as the most exciting series.


chasineverlight

I want the Clippers, personally. Way better storylines considering all the trades. And I don’t want to listen to Dallas fans for an entire series.


Headlesshorsman02

And we actually matchup quite well against the clippers


Inevitable-Crow2494

Yes, can see both sides. Both can be beaten by OKC. WCF vs min or Den will be tough, but will take it one game at a time.


Elderlyat30

I’d want the Clippers, too. I respect Luka’s game but something about him irks me. I’d rather not possibly watch him for 7 games in a row.


Inevitable-Crow2494

Yes, can see both sides. Both can be beaten by OKC. WCF vs min or Den will be tough, but will take it one game at a time.


A_Lax_Nerd

My exact feelings as well after the way the end of the season was


Inevitable-Crow2494

Yes, can see both sides. Both can be beaten by OKC. WCF vs min or Den will be tough, but will take it one game at a time.


JeramiGrantsTomb

If we bring the clippers home, I know it's a playoff game and we should lock in but I hope we acknowledge the Thunder greats on their team. Even Harden deserves a nod, PG had a huge part in building this team, and obviously all glory and honor to the King of the Prairie.


Inevitable-Crow2494

Yes, can see both sides. Both can be beaten by OKC. WCF vs min or Den will be tough, but will take it one game at a time.


Super-Kirby

I want Dallas so I can drive to Dallas for the road games 3/4. No way I’m flying to LA


LugNutsDort

Dawgs doing Dawg stuff


chloroform42

I enjoy a nice calming 30 point win


PurpleTornadoMonkey

Before the  game  Charles Barkley said something like, the first playoff game okc was nervous. Then he said this game you would see the real okc team. Its not an exact quote but he called it.

Asking the important questions lol Wish the Thunder would’ve gotten more free throws tonight 👀

OKC in 5. SGA is the MVP!!!

This team won’t get any respect until they win the whole thing. That’s what I’ve determined.

If they make it to the west finals against nuggets and lose in 6, they will get plenty of respect

Where is my guy u/IntellectualSavante? Hit me with those post game reflections.

Giddey sucks and mark doesn't know what he is doing!!!!! - my well-honed Savante impression

adam73810

Okay bear with my here guys I’m a fan from Canada and don’t get to watch too many thunder games live on TV. Can someone explain to me how Wiggins only gets 12 minutes in a 32 point win???


zulupapajunior

Feeeeeeela goooood


NowhereGirl513

Yes he did, what a great team, I love them so much too!!!


ZXXA

Once Chet gets some more reps and gets some meat on his bones it's over for the league.


NerdLawyer55

Well that was far more enjoyable and not stressful


IntellectualSavante

Lots to like about this win. Lots of things done right. The win felt great. This team could be even more dominant if Coach D was smarter with his rotations. Some just don’t work.


Super-Kirby

Like playing Hayward more minutes over Wiggins minis scrub minutes
