The Thunder’s Defense is Embarrassing the NBA

[@goatbrook9065]

I hate how op okc is, they basically got every advantage in the nba now. Stars, depth, young talent, draft picks, they aren't terribly expensive yet like damn. If they dont end up winning at least 1 ring when its all said and done that is a all time fumble

The most mind boggling stat is the Thunder still have more steals than turnovers this season. They have 292 STEALS (not just opp turnovers) on the season and have only turned the ball over 280 times. That's a +12 differential. No team in history has ever had a positive diff in those 2 stats this deep into the season.

[@bnsz8704]

NGL looking back at the series vs Dallas last year. They literally lost because of Giddy. Him being a bad shooter and a bad defender, Dallas was just completely leaving him open on offense and hunting for him on offense every possession they could. I truly believe that they would have beat dallas and the twolves if Giddy wasn't playing. He was their one weakness on both sides. And not only did they trade him for one of the best defenders in the league, they got another one of the best defenders in the league. They play literally zero bad defenders in their rotation and with the experience of last year, another year of development, and the two veterans they added they are my favorite to win the title. Basically tied with boston. People act like Dallas destroyed them and that Luka "owns" them. The biggest win in the series was the first game, which OKC won by 22. They were all close and Shai was definitively the best player on the court pretty much every game. Now OKC has zero weak offensive or defensive players and are gonna have home court advantage again. OKC could probably sweep dallas especially if Luka is as mid as he was in the series last year.

[@ZacMassenat]

100% People seem to forget that the final point differential in the Dallas series was 0 points. They literally were dead even and the Mavs just played a bit better down the stretch go close out some of the games.

[@BestShootermanUbz]

Also, fluke shooting from pj Washington and DJJ played a major part.

[@tyriantaylor711]

Caruso has been a terrible shooter this year

[@Kaigiro]

I think our lack of rebounding would’ve lost us the series against Minnesota, but Giddey had one of the worst playoff series of all time against Dallas. I honestly just wish that we won that series so that Mavs fans would shut the hell up and stop acting like they did something special last year when their Finals series was over by the second half in game 1.

While other teams basically gave up on defense and decided to focus on scoring the thunder (like any team should) decided to care about both. You see it with the hawks too. Dyson Daniel’s changed the culture there now the hawks play defense as a team and DRASTICALLY improved across the board.

[@Rickbag]

To be honest, watching the nba cup game against the Mavs, they still conceded strong side corner 3 the most by over helping on drives to the rim, which was their downfall in the playoffs last year. It reminds me of the Bucks defense from a few years ago where they gave up the open 3, especially corner ones, and that was an all time defense in the regular season but got exposed in the playoffs. Now, with Dort and Caruso, they might be better at rotating to the corner on drives, but in a playoffs setting playing every other day they might run out of gas in a 7 games series. The defense, like some offenses, will live and die by the 3. We'll see how it turns out.

[@willsmith8586]

They have so many more possessions. That's how they win. Their crux is the lack of free throws. Imagine if they shot more than 15-20 free throws a game, which is near the bottom?

The Thunder have been like this but yet don’t have all nba 1st or 2nd team selections . What I hate the most is that Shai is the motor for the defense but that never gets consider when we’re talking about MVP. If Jokic was half the defender Shai is the nuggets would be a top team like they’re supposed to be.

NBA wants to help small market teams to flourish and compete for titles by keeping their stars. But at the same time, with the second apron, OKC would not be able to do that. They have to go into the second apron and don’t care about their future picks as their team is loaded with young and talented players.
