Where is that lol

He shouldn't be shocked about that but Chuck is a dumb casual 😂

I respect this opinion a lot. I see them getting great in the very near future, they aren't at the level yet (I'm guessing) to win a chip yet, but they have so many great pieces. I know as a Nuggets fan I'm partial, but in a few years I see the Thunder being a buzzsaw for any team to play them.

their window has barely opened and will be open for years to come.

​@@euro51116Chet gonna end up in NY in 5 years

They should’ve treated KD and harden better and they’d have one

It's going to happen because they love each other and no one man is more important than the team humility

They need to wait for Jokic to retire if they want to beat the Nuggets. But they can beat nearly every other team outside the Celtics.

@@AndorskiI would take the lakers to beat them. Lebron and AD have too much experience

@@Andorskithey beat the nuggets 3 times this year

Okc can’t even beat the 10th seed lakers 😂 they ain’t winning sht

@@ndnd7614This is a dumb argument. The nuggets lost to the thunder so by that logic the Nuggets ain’t winning shit either. Neither are the Celtics or Timberwolves or clippers or pelicans because they all lost to the thunder who lost to the 10th seed lakers.

Yeah but that doesn't mean they can't win a series lmao. You and Chuck have that 2nd grade logic going

I would pick okc over golden state, Both L.A teams, Dallas, Phoenix, or New Orleans.

You picking OKC over the clippers in a playoffs wtf healthy stfu 🤣🤣

@@marquelinnurse8914hk the clippers have a history of choking😂 they couldn’t win with cp3 and griffin, and they ain’t winning with kawai and pg.

​@dbl-j5185 I'll bet my whole check they can't beat any top 10 seed in west besides kings, wolves n pelicans. So stop it u fool. Playoffs different u clearly act like u ain't even seen basketball

Jokic is obviously the best player in the world right now

@@gregbors8364that was an irrelevant comment no offense 🤣 donkey496 is right shaq is jealous, jokic is going to surpass him

@@multiplepassions3694 Irrelevant? I’m saying Joker should get the MVP because he’s the best player

@@gregbors8364 yeah you’re stating the obvious. Didn’t really add much to the conversation

@@multiplepassions3694 OK good to know. I didn’t want to sully this highly intellectual conversation. My bad

I would take him over both, he's played better than them both the whole year. But yes he has to prove it in the playoffs

@@mith2946Luka avg 35 10 10 😂

Nah​@@mith2946

@DrSJH159 I hate to break it to you, but you have to actually watch the games. Lukas numbers are better, but SGA is more efficient and has a much lower usage rate. Let's not even mention the huge factor that casuals like you ignore. There's too sides of the ball in basketball, Luka is not even in the same ballpark as a defender to SGA.

​@@mith2946still he can't get them a win in playoffs 😂😂😂 meanwhile Luka goes god mode

He likes the Pelicans a lot but shocked they're top 10 in O and D? What a maroon. 😂

I get why everyone is talking about playoff experience but this team is no regular young team, they play like an experienced team with how they pass the ball and make the right decisions.

it takes time to get to the finish line. Lebron won on his 8th season. Let that sink in

​@@mura0and kwahi won in his 3rd year. Shit take. LeBron isn't the blueprint for winning. If anything that comes up short more times than not.

Curry won in his 6th year

Kobe won in 4 years

The point is they have just as good as chance as anybody, you can say that about any of the teams besides Denver. The Nuggets are the only team you would actually be surprised if they lost in the first round.

I don't think the Thunder need to worry about the Suns now.......😅😅😅

Take a seat Izzy

I heard something like that, he just loses his mind trying to be against chuck😂

dumb point because just because you think a team is the 3rd best team doesn’t mean they match up well with every inferior team

That doesn't surprise me, Shaq sometimes contradicts himself even in the same argument.

​@@Rickle_Pick23 Nah, your point is dumb.

As a thunder fan, I agree. But everyone just assumes they have no chance at all. Which is dumb in my opinion.

@@dbl-j5185the only problem OKC has is there only center is Chet and he is to slim. Every playoff team but Warriors will destroy them on the glass and paint. OKC needs another big man

@@joedirt3333 look at this!! Someone with a good reason. I agree btw, but Chet being slim is less of an issue than I originally thought. He’s able to block shots and play good help defense because of his speed so it’s a trade off I’m ok with. However, I would like another big man with a little bit of muscle for when Chet is struggling.

@@dbl-j5185 yeah maybe even get a big such as drummond and play Chet at the 4. Tbh, idek if giddey fits in that system. I think you trade him

@@joedirt3333 drummond on okc would be wild

Ok? And he scored and they win so who care

At least he doesn't cry like Luka though, Christ Luka is bad about that.

Been thinking the same.

Look at OKCs free throws per game against teams. The last several games we were consistently less. V the Grizz previous game we were 5 to their 27!!!

I agree but Shai's midrange game and post moves should translate in the playoffs he's not just a freethrow merchant

The Lakers are their worst match-up, the Thunder have absolutely dismantled the Warriors this year.

@@mith2946 I agree they have been beating the Warriors up the Golden State Warriors as presently constructed looks done so I’ll give you that I think the Lakers actually match up really well with Oklahoma City the playoffs will be really interesting this year

Smh

Embiid

They should just make a League MVP and a regular season MVP atp

I think what Shai did this year is MVP caliber basketball, and I also think Jokic balled out this year as well but imo Shai did more with the team he has🤷🏿‍♂️

@@LukasP143 obviously would be in the conversation, but to say so now is just trolling

Do you think the Nuggets without Jokic are better than the Thunder without SGA?

I think JDub has proven he can be that guy

This guy doesn’t get it^^^

it's voter fatigue and narrative. the mvp doesn't always go to the most deserving player unfortunately

Why you so triggered by that bro. Everybody has to say who you say…? Foh

Yeah, we watch basketball. But I hate to tell you the NBA isn't giving MVPs to the same guy every year. If so lebron and Jordan would have 8. Jokic isn't the exception to the rule. He's not even 1st in the standings this year. That matters.

I can’t lie if Luka can will the mavs to a 6th seed he should get mvp because joker did the same thing

His points are lost as usual. His broader point yes but he's acting like they don't even have a chance to win a series lol.

If they face the Lakers. It's over for them lol

​@Karlog06 It's a bad matchup but again Chuck is saying they probably can't win a series. That's crazy

Chuck needs to STFU cus he has never won a championship 💀

​​@@Karlog06bold of you to assume they even face them in the first round😭😹

You acting like he’s always wrong. He predicted the nuggets winning the championship last year half way through the season

Mavs will destroy them on the glass every time they play. Nurkic is to big for Chet, but OKC is very young and talented

All of them destroy okc except kings probably

It's not much to shut up Shaq and Kenny lol. Chuck is going overboard

Then and now the east is easier, boston wouldnt make it in the west against clippers or spurs or gsw, okc probably not this year with suns, mavs, pels, lakers or gsw, they're way more experienced

@@sholagagates833 Call this a hot take if you’d like, but I’d take the thunder over all those teams except for the lakers. The warriors aren’t even composed this season in my opinion. The mavs and pelicans are strong but the thunder are heavily underrated with this “they don’t have experience” narrative. To me if you’re not as composed in the playoffs you lose. They don’t give points to age and experience unless you score cause of it. And OKC has proven they perform well under pressure and clutch games than any other team. They have positive record against all those top west teams. If you don’t believe that translates to the playoffs so be it.They ARE gonna prove the narrative wrong just wait and see. I see it the other way: Teams like the warriors need to prove your vets worth.

@@davewu8938 its about the moment I think, if okc wins it without suffering against anyone in first round, then there's going to be a rush in the players and fans, but if they suffer and are losing after 3 or 4 games, I dont see them bouncing back, dont care if is the lakers, gsw, mavs suns or kings, they're jumping from no playoffs to 1st seed and at least top 3 they'll finish, shai has to be a pacer paul george and carry this great team, nothing but luck for okc, I want them winning rings, nothing makes me more happy that seeing teams like denver and milwaukee winning after years of fighting with their same players over the years

Let see

Denver was never healthy in any of those runs. Always missing a key player. Once all starting 5 were healthy, they win on their first try. No “formula” there

Sounds like a well thought out very analytical opinion. You must be highly intelligent, a true wizard of percentages.

Suns will destroy them and Warriors and Lakers are taking them out in 6
