Being a member of the Kings vs being a member of the Thunder Congratulations, Nique Clifford!

If I am the Kangz FO, why in the world am I even answering the phone when Presti is calling. Just on an entirely different level. Really unsure how you don’t find minutes for him given Clifford’s rookie year production, specifically w/ the Kangz current roster. Baffling.

Another very controllable contract, with three years including the 26-27 season. 3.2 mill, 3.4 mill, and then 5.9 for the 28-29 season. Team options for both 27-28 and 28-29. Not getting notable minutes this season, but was productive as a rookie. For 2 SRPs, sign me up.

Aday Mara’s commitment to conditioning this offseason is undoubtedly playing a part in OKC’s newfound rhythm That first block on Bilal, appears he’s trying to pin it & adjusts in midair. Offensively, his fluidity off of screens & ball fakes have stood out

iHart’s ability to heavily impact games despite poor shooting has happened multiple times with this new look Thunder Tonight’s stat line was 2 pts (1-5), 6 assts, and 14 rebounds.. team high +25 in those minutes.

You love to see McCain getting back into a rhythm tonight. But Daigneault is arguably more in his bag w/ constantly changing lineups night to night Also, just FWIW, a team with a bench of AC, JMac, Stirtz, Peavy, & Dix should not be on a 4 game winning streak. NOT NORMAL.

This team is inevitably giving me hope, when I know full well that it’s the hope that kills you. But then again, it’s hard to kill what’s already dead.

This is the underlying conundrum of this season. For OKC to succeed, Ajay is gonna have to perform at an all-star level. He is currently doing that. That contract is getting more and more expensive by the minute. (Ownership group has been lining their pockets since 2020 imo)

Fun fact about Kenrich Williams.. at one point, there seemed to be legitimate conversations about him shooting FTs using the granny approach due to inability to convert at the line.

OKC’s schedule is going to get weaker in the coming weeks. Grizzlies game is a game that doesn’t match the records at all. OKC, obviously, is not what they were on opening night. MEM’s best win is… Portland? GS? Think they’re scrappy, but not elite. Definitely winnable for OKC

I will continue to harp on the impressiveness of Kenrich Williams He’s the 11th or 12th guy on a fully healthy roster. In the 22-23 season, he was starting at center (other centers were JWill & Poku) Last night, he was a POA defender on Mitchell & Harden. Just a hooper’s hooper

This has been the ultimate loser mentality by Cleveland in these last two minutes Team has been flat all night, but is intentionally fouling down 8-12 points and calling timeouts down 8 with 15 seconds.

In reality, the Cavs came out really flat in that half and missed a lot of shots, outside of the last 5 minutes. That being said, Peavy’s ability to provide POA defense and active hands on the perimeter by several guys broke this game open. Incredibly impressive

The Thunder is currently winning minutes with lineup of SGA-Stirtz-Peavy-Kenrich-Mara Had you told me this in August, I would have laughed at you.

S/O to the kid on the very top row of Paycom absolutely losing his mind. Screaming at the top of his lungs. Started when there was 20 mins before tipoff and has not stopped for the last 10 minutes. Several sections over and you can hear him loud and clear.

This is the advantage of signing a FA versus someone via trade. Neither season is guaranteed. If he fits what this team needs, great. If he doesn’t, you can release him and continue looking. I do wonder if Ochai & his agent weren’t willing to agree to the non-guaranteed element

This is the way. It is befuddling to me that the common NBA fan grew to hate SGA’s playing style more than Luka’s. He flops just as much, if not more, and throws more tantrums than my toddler.
