Oklahoma City Thunder 2023-24 Season

[Urbanized]

yeah would love it if they stopped spotting the other team a ten point lead early in the first quarter lol.

That's pretty much exactly how the majority (I'd say) of their games have gone. I mean, I love that they are gaining much confidence in regard to coming back from a tough start, and that they know they are, or at least can be, still in a game even when down 20+ points, but it would be nice to see them jump out to a quick lead and then just stand on the opponents' necks for 48 minutes every once in a while. I realize this is nitpicky, and I'm glad we have the luxury of nitpicking.

Thunder are the 3rd quarter team

^^^^^^^^
Facts. That also is a recommendation for the coaches of this team.

JDub owns the 4th quarter.

2 great bounce back wins on Monday and Wednesday. Was a little worried losing to the Hawks and Nets but maybe that was just being tired.

Also true. So great to have another clutch guy besides SGA, and Chet is making noise there himself.

Hawks 100% were. Second game of a back to back after beating Boston in their house, and apparently the plane didn’t take off until 4:30 am for some reason, according to some info I’ve seen. I give them a total pass for the Hawks; was more disappointed by Nets game (though still a road game, only one night after aforementioned B2B).

The doomsayers in this thread have never played basketball at any sort of competitive level. This team loses two games in a row and you Boomers start calling this team out. They are playing well ahead of their development schedule. They have arguably the best looking offense in basketball as a young team which is unheard of. I feel like a lot of you just don't know basketball. That is okay, I am glad you support the team and are trying to follow the NBA. Personally, I think you should try to learn more about the game so you don't make such reductive comments.

Damn dude, did you play D1 or something?? Lol

It’s the internet, everyone has an opinion and feels the need to hear themselves speak. Just like you and me.

I though chat threads were all about opinions ..... but that's my opinion.....

Welp, I guess tonight’s game is what I’ve been waiting for. Absolutely SPANKING Portland. All of our young bench dudes getting significant minutes, especially in the second half. These are the type of performances that you need to sprinkle in a few times a season if you’re truly a contender. Thunder hasn’t had one like this in a long time.

Largest victory in OKC history, 62 points. Love. My. Team.

Scoot hitting his first two shots of the game looking cocky, and then proceeding to go 2-19 was amazing.

This stretch of games coming up is going to be some tough ones. Magic, Clippers, Jazz, and of course Wolves are all playing really well right now. Lakers is the only W I feel solid about.

Took a vintage Lebron performance to pull that one. It aint happening this time.

[FighttheGoodFight]

We caught the Lakers down bad in a must win. I think we are better than them for sure. Just can't get caught sleeping.

I'm guessing the fans of every one of those teams are right this minute typing about how they are worried about their upcoming game against the Thunder.

We also blew the lakers out the first time we played them at home a few weeks earlier. They were on the second night of a back to back but still…beat them by 23 points and it didn’t seem that close.

lol Lakers led by 12 at the half and 16 after 3 ... and it never got closer then 8 in the 4th Q there was no Pulling one out ..



the Lakers are a bad matchup for the Thunder because of their size ..

true but as you said 2nd night of back to back ... and that changes everything see Thunder Hawks ..

pretty much the only team that should feel good are the Clippers because they have a day off and the Thunder are night 2 of a back to back ******


*It does help a ton that the Thunder don't have any travel with this B2B ...

It took the Lakers shooing 50 percent and Lebron not missing from 3 to beat us in that game. That was probably LA best shooting game of the year by far.
