Oklahoma City Thunder 2022-23 Season

[catcherinthewry]

Really fun game - great win when Steph hits 10 3’s and scores 40. Best of both worlds - see the Steph show and still win!

Presti is doing a really poor job of putting a mediocre product on the court

Good win over GSW 137-128.

Clearly shows the skill set of the players to make adjustments with a key missing piece (JDub) and a very aggressive Coach
Daigneault to put player combinations together to defeat the defending NBA champions.

Plus some good player development for Dieng. I thought he responded well to a very difficult situation.

[Laramie]

Awesome, what this team is doing against Phoenix tonight with two starters out (SGA and JDub).

I'm not sure how this will affect Thunder games, but I read that Bally's parent company (Diamond) missed payment on the debt used to buy them. Sounds like they might be headed towards bankruptcy. Hopefully they can still operate, or even better, NBA come up with a better alternative.

We'll see how the rest of the season goes. We have a 50/50 chance on the remaining games. How we come out, really depends on how some of the others do. And to all of your points....this year doesn't even really matter, according to your logic. If we rise next year, then the crap years paid off. If that happens, i guess you have to also ask if the wax was worth the wain?

they are for sure going to go into Bankruptcy they plan to continue to operate during bankruptcy so this should not have any effect on the remainder of this years NBA season ..

the MLB season and next years NBA season are very much up in the air ..

(leagues might get their rights back ? a different media partner buys them ?? we really don't know)

It was designed to not be particularly sustainable. Won’t be surprised if Bezos ends up with the rights and bumps everyone’s annual Prime fees accordingly.

I recall that commissioner Silver mentioned at the All Star Game press conference that the NBA has already been paid for this season by Diamond, so we should be okay through the regular season.

[caaokc]

No matter how this season ends is okay with me because I think they’re gonna firmly make it to the playoffs next year.

[Bellaboo]

I think we will have a great young nucleus and will compete in the playoffs SOON. If they would combine some of those future draft picks for a couple more top rate picks or players we should be outstanding.

[caaokc]

Definitely think that’s in play after next season. I’d imagine the only addition next season is their ‘23 draft pick.

That was a big win for the Thunder last night. It felt like the biggest crowd of the season. Maybe spring break had something to do with it. Or maybe people bought tickets before KD got traded but still came? All of the games are going to matter for the rest of the season. You can tell the guys really want to make the playoffs with their intensity and the fact that Shai should probably not being playing at all because of his injury. He was clutching his side most of the night. 6th through 13th seeds are still up for grabs at this point and we could end up anywhere in that mix.

That's why Shai is on restrictions. Highly doubt if he will be playing in the next game against Toronto; maybe against Phoenix, and probably miss the 1st or 2nd game against the Clippers in Los Angeles.

If the Thunder should win any games without Shai--could boost the Thunder's playoff hopes.

The game in Toronto will be the key.
