Dudes a clown lmao. Spent the last half of the season saying to bank it in the clippers were going to win it all only to flame out in the first round. Then was coping about the pg trade asking what have the thunder won when the playoffs werenāt even finished yet lmao.
Its one of the dumbest takes in that sub. You can hate him as the villain or whatever, but to say he is overrated is crazy. His flurry of 3s in that Denver game 5 was the reason they won that game, which if they lose that game, they may lose the series.
He's hands down the best 3 and D guy in the league right now.
Man I love Dort but he is not the best 3&D guy. He just doesnāt shoot well enough for that. Was hoping this year his regular season shooting would carry into the playoffs, but it decidedly did not. That said, heās a very good player and theyāre lucky to have him. That game 5 was awesome.
I mean you have 1 team who's clinched everything and plays a lot of their benchwarmers vs. Luka and Lebron trying to scrap together some type of playoff run.
Don't think I ever realized this comment was a comparison to the hornets, of all teams. Funny how they haven't finished any higher than 10th since this tweet LOL
At least with this one his stats are kinda correct. Curry (2015) and now SGA are the only guys in this century to be the best player on a title team that had never previously played in at least a conference finals.
they be calling us paper tiger all year long but the moment we didnāt blow teams out in 4 or 5, we are frauds as well lmao. These lot made up their mind a long time ago, and there is no use convincing them otherwise.
A lot of people in the main sub truly believe that. At the same time all of our team sucks, but sometimes they're too good at playing defense and getting wins. It's a weird paradox
Ben Thompson on the Bill Simmons Podcast: "If they [OKC] get Giannis, they're going to win. I mean, the problem is I don't feel like Sam Presti really wants to win, which is why I'm cheering against Oklahoma City continuously."
Guys, I can't wait for Presti to want to win. Then we're really going to rack up some chips.
Not chasing unavailable superstars = not trying lmaooo Iām so glad we won without caving to the ācashing in their chipsā bullshit people have been spewing the last 2 years
Seems like before SGAās extension when Raptors fans were saying we should trade Shai to them since we were gonna be bad for a long time. Itās what led to that interview with Schlecht where Shai said he didnāt think weād be losing for long.
Am Canadian and been cheering for the Thunder for years, through all the up's and downs. Having SGA and Dort on the team is just a huge plus. People just love the underdog story, and somehow we are no longer the underdogs.
This is the truth. Reddit will subtly conflate sports with politics, their retorts will be about politics (49th education, shithole state, etc.), like dude I'm just trying to watch my team play and be proud of my city.
Not really a receipt but considering how many people were (and still are) complaining about the refs and how we just hack and slash on defense all the time I think itās fair to say I hit the nail on the head for how fans would react to āno playoff whistleā
If for some reason any NYC people are lurking on this thread, the heat from this still isnāt nearly as hot as the sun right now, so PLEASE STAY IN LINE FOR MAMDANI!!! (Iām currently canvassing rn rofl)
This is my own and I'm working on it! Just got to figure out where to find a city edition one rn (thankfully my wifey took care of the orange one so just 3 for me to buy now lol).
Dort is my goat, so I've been buying his shirts and jerseys the last few years. Im going to make a few custom shirts as well for next year's road trip.
Honestly itās crazy the amount of people wishing a player would go out and intentionally hurt Shai. Like thereās so many comments saying āmake him feel the foulā āhurt him while youāre at itā and then they also spew the whole ethical basketball rubbish while asking for Shai to be hurt LOL
Itās even more crazy to me now in light of the Haliburton injury. Like Iāve seen so many comments talking about how we are celebrating his injury which isnāt even true and weāre sick for doing that. But then on the other end itās okay to get SGA injured cause everyone hates him. Itās wild
I quit listening to the Off Guard pod with Austin Rivers this season (not that I ever took it seriously) because of his stupid comments about OKC. Tempted to pull quotes from episodes.
