What a week for the Thunder, whose winning streak now sits at five following wins this week over the Spurs, Blazers and two against the Warriors. The offense has been ridiculous, averaging 125 points per 100 possessions this week, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to lead the way. Rookie Chet Holmgren had the breakout game of his young career, putting up 36 points and 10 rebounds in the overtime win over Golden State, including the turnaround, game-tying 3-pointer from the sideline as time expired in the fourth quarter.
This thread is an appreciation thread of the Thunder front office for having been so succesful in the rebuilding, and is certainly not meant for anything else.

They've got so many picks and now they have to worry two young cores

[–] pig_says_woo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

the schedule is about to get brutal. over the next 20 games i think 12-8 would be a good showing. there is definitely promise here but i really think we need a tough rebounder to actually be contending in the west

[–] New-Candy-800@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think on a game by game regular season basis, we have enough about us to overcome our clear rebounding deficiencies.

But once/if we get to a 7 game series, those deficiencies are gonna be really obvious and very hard to overcome

[–] ted_the_ked1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I see closer to 15. Maybe 16 if you’re lucky

Please give us the finals we’ve all been wanting. OKC VS ORLANDO

[–] 1madking@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Chet vs Paolo

[–] Balls_of_Adamanthium@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Awesome. Let’s this what happens though, after all it’s been game 15 or less.

Thunder have like 3 people that could be mvp caliber players in the future. This team is insane. Super fun to watch. I’m a fan

[–] Headlesshorsman02@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am a fan as well, you guys look a lot better as well, amazing what a great coach can do

[–] fartalldaylong@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

...and some upgrades...

[–] abrnst@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

…Your team DEFINITELY needs upgrades…

OKC is a good team, really good team. On this winning streak they've beaten teams they should've beaten (I've always thought they were better than GSW coming into the season). I'm really looking forward to their game against Minnesota next week, that'll tell a lot about where both teams are.

Also, is someone going to make a post in here about the elephant in the room?

[–] OSUBoglehead@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Where's the elephant? I just see a bunch of kids under 18.

Honestly that's just a normal day on r/nba

[–] lalakingmalibog@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How do you do my fellow nephews

[–] ShaveThatCat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love how young this team is.

[–] GorillaX@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's actually a six game winning streak now, but carry on

[–] OUEngineer17@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Chet has very quickly become the 2nd most important player on this team; and as good as Giddey and JDub are, I think he also becomes the 2nd best player sometime in 2024.

[–] tarunpopo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lol too good to be true 😭 giddey always seemed to me to be the odd man out on this team

[–] _Chicken_Chaser_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So legal, so brave

[–] Traditional_Roof_582@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

wouldn’t be surprised if they made the conference finals this year

[–] Anibunnymilli@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah better they focus on this…

[–] OcksBodega@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[Redacted] being gone is just going to make us better. He is a negative player. I wish we could’ve gotten a team to bite on his “potential” though and added a nice 4 like Lauri/Siakam/Kuz but if he’s off the team then a win is a win and i truly can’t complain

[–] PoorMansSamBeckett@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I guess Thunder fans finally have something to feel Giddey about.

[–] howbedebody@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

u guys gave potential jerk of the year material

[–] LavenderAutist@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I was just looking at SGA's Insta and I'm worried

[–] ReBol2n@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] Asking4Afren@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
