    Lol. Its more hilarious than showing “Thunder gonna be scary”. They were a great team last year and will be even better this year. But on this action the ball was literally thrown on Dort’s elbow who wasnt even looking and somehow sent the ball near SGA. It’s a very WTF just happened action that i find hilarious but nothing to do with how Thunder is great. Pure luck or rather dumb decision from the guy who sent that ball

      So you’re just gonna ignore the fact that Lu’s entire arm went backwards to deflect the pass?

        Yeah, cause the ball was shot at his arm so him not being dumb moved his arm to deflect it wherever he could and made it at the right spot. That pass was shit. If the pass didnt go straight to Dort he couldnt have deflected it that way. Come on bro. Dort has made a lot more plays were the deflecting or blocks were all him being the man. This one is totally on the passer making a mistake. And yeah Dort moves his arm but he doesnt even know where SGA is at that time so hilariously lucky and all on that dumb passing. That doesnt make Thunder not great but this isnt the play that makes them amazing.

    Feel like it’s probably bc players aren’t as locked in with it being preseason but I’ve seen way more steals off the inbound and in the backcourt turn than usual. Might also be teams using more deep bench guys mixed in with their actual rotation guys too.

    Not gonna lie.

    At some point , People will expect SGA to lead this OKC team to a ring at least once in this decade.

    OKC management had done a pretty good job rebuilding round him. It is now his turn to lead this team.

    (Like expectations on Tatum before celtics won last season)

      The new cba will take this puppy out back before it gets a chance to really breathe.

        Good thing they have like 3 picks a year for a while to keep the team loaded with good players even if they lose some because they get too expensive.

      He’s got a great team around him now. I’m a Twolves fan but OKC will be scary good.

        And I’m still waiting to see how the Wolves and Nuggets shake out. I’m skeptical that trading KAT solves any deficiencies you guys had in the playoffs

      They’re going to be a scary team. They were good last year and added some good pieces this year.
