With the Suns now having 3 wins and being the second place team in the group, any team looking to advance as the Western Conference wildcard must have at least 3 wins. This eliminates OKC, who have 2 losses.

Of course, they can still make the playoffs, so this is only a minor problem for OKC.

so have the clippers and mavericks since they are also 1-2

Losing on that Curry layup hurt them more than beating us up by 40 helped them.

Unfortunate to be eliminated from the NBA cup but the season is still young

[–] Timely_Airline_7168@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Should be perfect for Josh Giddey then

Wow thank you for explaining the punch line of the joke

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

Amazing joke. Downvoters are haters

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

They got downvoted for explaining the already very obvious joke that didn’t need explaining.

We have many minor problems

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

I feel like it goes without saying that a 2 seed 15 games in can still make the playoffs

[–] SnooPies5622@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fr I think we're all well aware of the Thunder's minor problem

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

Being completely honest, Giddey has been their starter that’s struggled so far this season, and Joe and Wallace both have Been much more effective.

I’d be surprised if their overall success doesn’t receive a boost

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

damn i was actually wondering bout this lol. oh well just a minor distraction

[–] Ghoul-Sama@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

i would have though OKC of all teams would fight the hardest for it since majority of their players still on that rook contract. 500k goes hard for that team

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

Beautifully done

[–] Aware_Ad_7575@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So have the Raptors.

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

The Raptors still have a chance to get in via wildcard, albeit a super unlikely one

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

Fade them

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

It’s not the only minor problem they’re having

[–] tmacdabest2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Faded?

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

Damn, that was a stealthy burn.

Years of rebuilding and we become a rape joke of an organization.
