Great points Wes, but they will repeat as a top 3 point shooting regular season team. The reason is because SGA and Dub can penetrate and finish at the rim against regular season defensive intensity. The result is drive and kick to the 3 pt line for wide open shots. Check the regular season stats last year for 3 pt attempts with the closest defender 6 ft away…. You’ll see the Thunder at the top of that list. In the playoffs, when rim challenges are legit, the thunder strategy of guards penetrating and kicking doesn’t work as well. I think that’s why they are stacking up the D. It is difficult to score in the playoffs regardless of your offensive style…. Might as well make it even more difficult for your opponents.

I agree that they don't have volume shooters apart from Isaiah Joe, but I wouldn't be surprised if some other player increased their volume efficiently. In the end they are players who are still in development, and many of them have very good arguments to believe that they can increase their volume. And don't forget that you have Chip Engelland on your side, something that helps without a doubt

Sure Okc is a strong team, but this team has proven nothing for them to be glazed like this

@Lumbyrat 19 дней назад

Shai, Dort, Dub, Hart and Chet is their best lineup. Dort, Chet and Dub will be on the perimeter with Hart setting the P&R. This is a death lineup offensively and defensively.

Question who’s the elite playmaker that’s on par or better than Giddy was for OKC?

@tooshottamusic8760 12 дней назад

@@ILLWill1027 I mean the one who just averaged 9 assist in the playoffs.And u don’t need an”elite “playmaker when everyone on the team can pass.look at the Celtics ,who’s their elite playmaker ?

I disagree with your notion that their regular season 3 point percentage was a fluke. I saw the playoffs games the 3s were wide open, they just missed, so what should happened is that the 3 point percentage should level out to the average which should be higher and if they do that, they will win the championship. You gotta remember. Every team was pitting their big on giddey. Now how much Caruso shoots 3s they still respect him as a shooter.

The Thunder where the number 3 point shooting team in the league. I mean come on dude.

The Thunder haven't come close to earning the amount of confidence the NBA hive mind is granting it.

They were 1st last year, and they played good play offs - or better Shai was playing excellent.

@williamroper5422 20 дней назад

@@natashakuzmanoska9656 Shai was the only one who really played well. Both Holmgren and Jalen Williams did not play like the star players they were supposed to be in the playoffs. It was understandable because of how young and inexperienced they were, but apparently that one experience is all they needed and everyone is under the assumption they will play like the stars they supposedly are next time around. While it should be expected for them to improve the assumption that one experience was all their young team needed to be ready for the moment next time is more confidence then they have earned. Let's see these youngsters actually perform in the playoffs before we assume they can do it well enough to win the whole thing.

They were the top in all advanced metrics and just improved the glaring holes in their roster, it’s easy to see that they can make a jump to WCF contenders
