i love the idea of a guy who’s still been on the edge of getting into jeopardy after 61 years of it airing

Over the last two seasons, OKC has had 4 games shooting 35+ 3-pointers while shooting ≤20%. They are now 4-0 in those games. They've finally found the recipe.

Bob’s been good.

OKC is a mess.

If you're up late and bored, I'll be going live on YT in 30 minutes for my first solo DTD.

I may be doing a @rylanstiles.bsky.social-style solo pod tonight for DTD. Feels like that game needs a pod.

Haha, another good point of context for last night’s loss.

To put last night’s loss in context, the last time OKC lost by 20+ points to a below .500 team was a February 2022 loss to the Kings at home by 21. The last one with a deficit greater than 27 was an October 2021 loss to the Rockets by 33.

Unfortunately, Andrew is on vacation. We were looking at the schedule last week and were like Charlotte? Utah? We’ll probably be fine. What could happen?

The Thunder are 6-6 in their last 12. The last time they were .500 or worse over a 12-game stretch was the final two weeks of the 22-23 season, when they went 40-42.

Last season, the Thunder had 14 games in the regular season where they shot below 30% from 3. They were still 12-2 in those games. This season, they've already had 10 games shooting below 30% from 3. They are 6-4 in those games.

27 points ties the deficit from their worst loss last season, to a Lakers team that was much better than this Hornets team.

Honestly, just a schedule get blown out by the Hornets at home loss. Nothing to see here.

Trying to think of the last loss worse than this. Blown out by a lottery team at home is a special kind of loss.

The discussion around this team is going to have a clear inflection point: #BeforeSpurs and #AfterSpurs. Never forget the #BeforeSpurs times. They were fun.

Chet getting roasted by 33 yo Harrison Barnes multiple times over these last few games has not been a cool development.

Bringing Wemby off the bench is so rude. Can barely hang with the Wemby-less starters and then just get punched in the mouth.

Lol at this defense. What is going on?

Feels like being on the other side of that 2016 OKC-GSW series right now (at least the first 5 games), where a juggernaut suddenly looked out of sorts and overmatched by a younger team.

Most concerning thing is how rarely OKC has been in control in these three games. Even for a short stretch. Spurs dictate everything. Absolute domination.

Laughing at THIS being someone’s reaction to last night’s game

Thunder losing to the Spurs again while the Clippers look to get their second consecutive best win of the season is not the Christmas I was looking for.

Tonight was a great night to hop on the DTD Twitter account and remind myself how insane that website made me when I used it. Lordy.

RIP to the “Can the Thunder win 70?” podcast segment.

Some fun behind the scenes from this episode: while we were recording, I kept hearing a whistle in the distance and couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. Turns out I had put the tea kettle on right before we started , it fused to my stove top and then shattered it when I tried to remove it.

Sky is falling.

17-0 whew. OU offense is cooking.

Spurs led Knicks 92-81 with 14:07 left to play Knicks outscored Spurs 43-21 rest of the way 4th quarter rebounds! - Spurs: 6 as a TEAM - OG by himself: 7 - Mitchell Robinson: 8 (6 offensive)

If you don’t know, there’s a person (u/lolwtferic) on the Clippers subreddit that makes awesome cartoons after each Clippers loss.

This is incredible. What a game. Please stay 2-3 in the standings.

I’m sure a lot of Thunder fans will point to the 3pt shooting, but the Spurs shot 31%. They just got beat.

Lol this is so good.

Well damn, this is a real game.

Wemby is a +20 lol

I am an FPL god.

Favorite moment was the Ajay superstar shot in the middle of all those SGA superstar shots in the 4th.

At the game and that quarter nearly killed me. Incredibly boring. Thank god we got some frisbee dogs at half to hold me over.

The last time the Clippers lost 13 games in a calendar month was March 2010. So yeah. Worst month in the entire Tyronn Lue era. Worst month in the Kawhi Leonard era. Worst month in the Lawrence Frank era. Worst month in the Steve Ballmer era. Worst month since Blake put a uni on

I keep watching the Clippers expecting them to eventually look competent and they just keep losing.

Very happy for Venables. Through all the down seasons, you never doubted how much he wanted to be the OU coach and make it work. Can’t believe they found 10 wins from that schedule.

D-D-D-D-D-D-D-DUB

The most efficient, high usage guard seasons in NBA history (>30% USG, >65% true shooting). It's still early, but it's wild that SGA is right there with 2016 Steph in terms of efficiency and the advanced stats (2016 Steph's +10.5 EPM is the highest ever. SGA is currently at +10.9).

6/7

There have only been 32 games in Thunder franchise history where their opponent hit 10+ more 3-pointers. They are now 7-25 in those games.

First time I’ve heard this reason for why the league is rigging it for OKC.

Shoutout to the Wolves for getting me to stand up in front of my TV for the first time in a month.
