This Is NOT The Same Oklahoma City Thunder

[@jeffjohnson7052]

This is great analysis, most channels you can tell they dont watch OKC, but you know very specific details not just stats. Kudos! New sub!

[@ColtonONeill-yq4eo]

I disagree and most of teh specific details are most likely from basketball reference.

[@BBett24]

Wiggins gotta get more respect. Dude just makes plays when he’s in the game. Gotta be one of the most underrated players in the game

[@mrhuskyo2272]

even if you get by caruso, you still have to score against the twin towers😭

[@FrmThaMont]

If You Think Giddey Wasn’t A Problem Spacing The Floor YOU Don’t KNOW BASKETBALL .. & If You Think Giddey Going To The Bulls Where He Will Have The Ball Damn Near Every Possession Is Not Comparable To Him Being A Role Player With Us .. Look At Tre Mann He Got Traded & Instantly Started Averaging 15 & 5 But With Us He Would’ve Never Got That Opportunity .. You Take Makes No Sense Is Giddey A Good Young Player Of Course ? Was Giddey Holding Us Back ? Yes

[@Vasco224]

When they run the Shai Dort Caruso Chet iHart lineup who tf is gonna score more than 20 points in a quarter ☠️

[@cadenburks5380]

What’s worse is they can put in J-Dub for Caruso or dort and they have a better offense without losing much on defense if anything at all

[@jasoncastromartinez8789]

Why would jdub not be playing?

[@isaacschrader6424]

You showed Jaylin William highlights but talked about Kendrich Williams. Love the video though!

[@jarredcombs7603]

I was wondering who he was talking about lol. 6th year, retired jersey at TCU. That’s funny. You think he’d have mixed up Jalen/Jaylin.

[@Clarence-bx2dl]

Wendell Carter wood look outstanding wit us.

[@tguwop242]

Wow what a deep dive. Earned a sub bro

[@EmilioQuintana-qo4cn]

Boricua Hispanic India n black iam.. i hope they make it to the final playoffs, they play great n Olmos make to the final playoffs , but this year is a great game n team , okc , Dallas with klay, n Karl Antonio town to New York, Paul criss went to sant Antonio spurts. 😅

[@Vasco224]

Thunder really shouldn’t won 60 games last season but Shai got injured

[@davidmoreno7525]

Props for a great video that hits on all the main points and shows the research you did! Does a great job of teaching non thunder watchers what the team is all about. The only point I'd like to add, the reason JWill saw a drop in his playoff minutes vs the mavs, is that the Thunder were losing all the minutes with him on the court (okc actually was winning the chet minutes!) As he couldn't keep up with Livley and Gaffords insane athleticism. Now with IHart on the team, those minutes without Chet should go okcs way!

[@TheDeven1000]

As a Thunder fan, I can’t fucking wait to see how this team looks. The defense is gonna be elite. Year 3 J Dub is gonna be a bucket. Shai gonna get whatever he wants. Chet is only gonna get better and he was already elite defensively his rookie season. There’s so many good young role players that can get you 15-20 a game off the bench. I’m also pretty excited to see if CP3 can recreate lob city in San Antonio with Wemby. There’s so many great teams though. It’s probably the most competitive it’s been in a long time.

[@jedi_gaming7656]

Were going deep in the playoffs. #Thunderup

[@anthempt3edits]

I tried to put a dollar on the Thunder winning 70 games but the betting app wouldn’t go that high

[@coreydemoss4781]

I think you mixed up Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams. You showed clips of Jaylin and said his name, but the stats and career overview were of Kenrich.

[@jamescinman1993]

Top to bottom this Thunder team might be the closest thing you can get to a perfect roster. If you were playing franchise and created this team you would have essentially broken the game and just won a chip every year.

[@brezzyjxy8618]

been said they winning this year after they lose to the mavericks they just needed the experience

[@Michael-yk8nv]

Most of the time the preseason analysis doesn’t match what actually happens. So, don’t get all excited.

[@danielschlegel6047]

Kenrich Williams had his jersey retired by TCU. Not J will

[@KalebGuidry]

Jwill went to Arkansas and is a 3rd year player

[@senatorkenator]

You mixed up JWill with Kenrich Williams

[@jessesanchez9485]

We have plenty of giddeys on the court but besides that you’ll see giddey has a real weakness and his bag isn’t deep he is going to be great just not for Okc anywhere he goes he’s going to be vital to a teams future

[@darrianclark3831]

This is not his sixth season

[@brandonbeglin2379]

What do people call jwill? I never heard whatever was said lol

[@Jmoneynasty]

He said Duke Dennis

[@tazyy7068]

Duke Dennis I believe but I don't understand why 😅

[@brandonbeglin2379]

@@tazyy7068 yeah I don't miss a game and have never heard anyone call him that 😂

You know ball I can tell you actually watch the games. Just need more charisma and oomph

[@Velveteenvision]

I mean everyone says they will be the best team in the west and have a good chance to win the title (I disagree, I can’t imagine them beating the Celtics, they’re unstoppable). I haven’t seen anyone underestimate Okc though.

[@SpecOpsCM]

You just underestimated them. Lmao

[@Velveteenvision]

@@SpecOpsCMI should’ve clarified that by everyone I mean everyone in the media, KZbinrs, podcasts, Vegas etc.

[@davidmoreno7525]

Nuggets looked unstoppable after winning their title too, I get what you're saying, Cs should be the favorite, but the Thunder can beat them. 👊🏼

[@rockysalvatore435]

Dirtiest team in league and flopping

[@duncanhoffman7249]

name an example of dirty

[@Frank-hv7xj]

My god, Okc is slightly being overrated and especially most overhyped team of all time. Everybody talking about them like they're already a dynasty when they're not, and time will only tell if they do become a dynasty because we've seen plenty of young talented team being dub as the next dynasty only to consistently fail and be blown up to smithereens. It's crazy to me that people talk about Okc like they're the perfect team or they have the perfect players, which they have neither. Shai is good but not great. He's a foul merchant like every other star player, and his defense is extremely overrated . He was targeted by the Mavs, and why you think PJ washington was effective vs Okc? because Shai was defending him. JWill and Chet was also a no-show, but obviously, they're not bad players but don't act like they're perfect players. They have flaws too. I Hart, Caruso are good pickups but Caruso is injury prone and is just a 3nD guard. I Hart is a solid big, but by no means he's a great big. I've seen plenty of times Hart getting cooked and weirdly is a bad defensive rebounder, but is a good offensive rebounder. And most important fact on why Okc is now a bit overrated and extremely overhyped is that they were extremely healthy last year. If other teams like Wolves, Mavericks, who has also improved stay healthy, then i wouldn't be surprised if they beat Okc in the standing because they arguably also have the same amount of talent if not slightly better talent than Okc. And that's also if Okc stays healthy again like last year

[@davidneves8865]

thats a clear ydkb

[@SpecOpsCM]

Shai is not a foul merchant

[@JacobofChrist]

Nobody is talking about okc as if they’re a dynasty level team. You’re over exaggerated everyone else’s take on the obvious championship level roster Okc currently has. They lost to the mavericks bc of Josh Giddey & the lack of size in the center position. They addressed both of their major flaws. If Caruso stays healthy his style of play is 10x more effective than what Giddey provided. A way better on ball defender who can hit open 3’s. Giddey was a mid defender who built bricktown on the 3 point line. The cohesiveness of this years Thunder roster is one of the best I’ve seen put together. While all their players seem to be incredibly unselfish & not dramatic.

[@shadows5499]

​@@davidneves8865type shit bro said a back to back all nba first team 2nd in mvp voting player who was around 3rd in the league in scoring isnt great HA i hart wss the best offensive rebounder in the mfin league "Good" my ass

[@Mosin_4_Life]

PJ Washington did good because he was making 3s at a way higher rate than his regular season play.. Normally you’d want a player shooting 3s at 30% rather than Luka or Kyrie taking shots. It had nothing to do with the defense being played on him as the gameplan was to stop Kyrie and Luka.

[@joeldriver-sp2rg]

Trading Giddey for Caruso was absolutely idiotic and fans need to understand that this isn't the same team from last year that went 57-25 and finished 1st in the west. This trade makes them SIGNIFICANTLY worse. One of the oldest phrases out there is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." and I guess Sam Presti never heard of it because we already saw what happened when he traded Harden. Adding Hart helps fill a big void but anybody who thinks trading Giddey was a good thing is going to find out how good he really is this season.

[@YallknowMaxi]

What?

[@quentinhans4755]

I’m going to remember this but right now I disagree to hell

[@jameshillarybalonda1222]

So isn't Giddy was the Offensive Liability because he can't shoot open wide three like that?

[@tompurvis1261]

Just watch the reply from the Bulls first preseason game. If there was a stat for standing and watching others move, Giddy had that hands down. I liked the kid but ….

[@richbrokeboy7892]

Giddy will become a star in his own right but don’t down play okc they will be great , Caurso will be great. Plus Hartenstien has one of the best basketball IQs.
