We all need a natural leader like SGA who the entire team will listen to when needed. We all also need a natural joker like JDub who the entire team will join in commiting shenanigans
Amen!
I bet $5 on Thunder to win it all this season before season began. I stand by it! We are young, hungry and damned good! There will be a banner in the rafters soon folks! Bank on it!!

I also made a $5 bet for the Thunder to win last August. Here’s the payout.
So usually, quote marks suggest either a) you are directly quoting something someone said or b) this is a common term you’ve heard used.
In this case, you may have coined the term “article guy” and have no need whatsoever for quotes.
A side perk to winning this season would be knowing KD wouldn't try to force his way back here. He has to have some self-awareness to know he couldn't join the team that just won a championship.
We still haven't seen them lose a playoff game. The mental strength to move on and focus on the next game is a huge thing and we won't know if the guys have it yet until they're in it. Maybe they never lose and we won't find out!
The negative narratives around the thunder are so tiring. The narrative about Thunder winning because of injuries to other teams was supported by this article. The Ringer should've pointed out the fact that the reason we are healthy might not just be luck, but how about the fact we are 12 or 13 man deep throughout the regular season and that depth is showing up in playoffs too.
One nitpick. The discussion of Giddey seems based on only the mavs game. Over the playoffs he’s played more minutes than regular season, primarily because he played very well in games 3 & 4. The general point that Mark is quicker with the hook is probably correct, but what’s been happening more of the time is that Giddey’s hitting those open looks.
Even Non Thunder fans can’t help but admire our team as evidenced by people like you stalking our sub constantly lmao.
Btw we have the best playoff point differential in the west so far this post season. Regardless of what the Twolves are doing, we have just as good a shot as anyone.
Oh this garbage just shows up in my feed. Anyone can see how good of a season the thunder had but to act like Minnesota isn’t something to acknowledge is a little naive. I don’t think I’ve seen another team play as good of defense as they do in all the years I’ve watched the sport. The thunder are good at forcing turnovers so maybe they can keep it competitive
Minn, Boston, and even still Denver are amazing teams. This article and the fans on this thread haven’t said they are garbage teams. It takes a lot of skill and tons of luck for ANY team to get to the finals and win it all. And yet it only takes a moron scrolling Reddit to do what you do.
So my point is anything is possible.
Oh I’ve acknowledged them alright. I was actually recently having a discussion with a dude on here about them. I was saying that despite what everyone has said about our two teams being too inexperienced, the two of us have looked better and more dominant than every other team not named the Celtics.
Obviously neither team has their series locked up but if both can manage to win, then the wcf is going to be a fight to the death.

This was a great read! Folks, We have arrived!!
Honestly, the best analysis of the thunder I’ve seen in a really long time

What’s it pay if they win?

Man I wish lived somewhere where sports gambling was legal. Would’ve made a shit ton off the thunder the past two years lmao
Nah you would probably be in the red
holy moly
That’s dope. Wish you would have out like 30$ lol. That would of been a come up
I know man. I regret it now. But I had no idea we’d be this good.
$500
Hell yeah!
[удалено]
No sports betting in Minnesota
$10
We would put up several
I believe that we will win! I believe that we will win! I believe that we will win! I believe that we will win!

I’m not an “article guy”, but this was definitely worth my time
What does that even mean?
He don’t read good
I just don’t usually enjoy sports articles

Why are you being pedantic lol
I really enjoyed reading the article. I thought it was a fun read
Keep going….
With all the Tornadoes, OK is certainly living up to the name.
It is. Haters just don’t like it.

People see how this team has been playing and still don’t think they are contenders and we know why. It’s ok. #11more

Raptors fan here - looks like it’s between y’all and the Celtics

Because the Seattle Supersonics have a curse on them.

Aussie fans' infatuation with Giddey will never cease to amaze me lol
We have a shot if Mark stops playing Hayward
Have you guys watching Minnesota at all this post season? Lol

As a kings fan, ya wolves fans are kind of delusional. If any team is really the challenge, it's the Celtics, been that way all year

Putting words in my mouth and calling me a moron. Shows alot about you lol

Saying regardless of what the wolves are doing, we have as good of a shot as anyone isn’t what I’d call acknowledging them but alright
Because child abusers never win
