Can anyone on here tell me what the Thunder traded to move up one spot with the Kings? #NBADraft

@saramontourlewis.com I hear you’re over in these parts of the Internet nowadays. Wanted to ask - do you want to come on the No Gimmes pod with me and @livebreatheball.bsky.social and talk Thunder-Wolves? 👀

Reggie Miller just called KAT “a man-child” after his offensive rebound and-one. I believe he was trying to get to the phrase that KAT is a “man amongst boys.” God, he’s the worst.

Calling Boston fans “the faithful” when they’re literally booing their own team is so funny.

Man, I’m so glad we have Reggie Miller on the broadcast. He just pointed out that Tatum’s wrist injury *might* be affecting his ability to shoot the ball. This is the kind of brilliant analysis we’ve been missing in basketball discourse!

This game is ugly as hell. Both teams are shooting under 40% from the field, have combined for 15 turnovers and they likely won’t break 100 combined first half points. #NBASky

Thanks to a recent 4 game skid, the Thunder now have a 2 game lead over the Cavaliers for the best record in the NBA with 11 games to go. According to Tankathon, OKC has the 17th hardest remaining SOS while Cleveland has the 9th hardest.

Betting on the Thunder over is the easiest money you’ll ever make* *not financial advice

@evanjk.bsky.social and I talk about arbitrary accolades, more Jazz than you’re getting anywhere outside of Salt Lake, the guys we’d least like to see in a dark alley, and there’s even a Ricky Davis reference! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

The Thunder are running a bench unit + Chet (who I don’t expect to see much more of the rest of this game) and they’re up 42-26 after one over Philly. I fully expect Shams to announce the Thunder are being investigated by the NBA for having too deep a bench.

Good morning #NBASky We have a new episode of the No Gimmes pod, now featured on the Basketball Intelligence Network! Our favorite segment this week: Aaron and I discuss which NBA players you’d least like to run into in a dark alley. Check it out! Spotify link: open.spotify.com/episode/5deo...

The Thunder take aim and fire at the Bucks 121-105 in Milwaukee SGA: 31 PTS / 8 AST Hartenstein: 24/12/3 Joe: 19/6/2 Lillard: 19 PTS Giannis: 21/12/10 Trent: 12 Pts

OKC has just smacked Milwaukee around all game long on the offensive end. The Bucks’ defense is definitely a concern going into the playoffs.

This might be SGA’s best playmaking game of the season. He’s got 22 points and 8 assists through 3 quarters. His vision tonight has been spectacular.

I heart IHart

Just laughing on my couch at how ridiculously good SGA is at basketball. #NBASky

Halftime in Milwaukee. Thunder lead a kind of ugly game 53-41. SGA: 14 PTS / 4 AST Hartenstein: 12 PTS / 8 REB Chet: 12 PTS / 4 REB Lillard: 13 PTS Giannis: 7 PTS / 5 AST Trent: 6 PTS

Chet doing his best KD impression so far against the Bucks

Caruso dropping a “ball don’t lie” makes my heart full.

The Bucks have defended the Thunder so well. Forced OKC into some bad shots and ended the quarter on a 10-0 run.

Cason Wallace is gonna command $30 million a year at least, isn’t he?

Leftists need an alternative to the Democratic Party. These losers are so useless it’s beyond comprehension.

Luka still ain’t found a hairstylist in LA, huh?

I find no joy in Kevin Porter Jr. doing well in Milwaukee.

Threads is trash, so I’ll be spending more of my time on #NBASky talking NBA is an OKC Thunder focus. Hope to connect with more of y’all!

The Thunder find a pot of gold against the Celtics in Boston, pulling away down the stretch 118-112 SGA: 34/4/7 Chet: 23 PTS / 15 REB Wallace: 14/4/3 Tatum: 33/8/8 White: 22/8/5 Horford: 18/10/6

Rough night for Jaylen Brown - just 10 points on 5-15 shooting and he just fouled out of the game.

Isaiah Joe is being hunted repeatedly by the Celtics

Isaiah Hartenstein has NEVER had a single hair out of place.

When Tatum makes up his mind to get to the basket, I’m really not sure what a defense is supposed to do. He’s smart, long, athletic and a great finisher at the rim. It’s unguardable.

Boston has OKC playing out of control and reckless

If I’m OKC, I’m terrified at how comfortable Tatum is at getting Chet switched onto him

Chet Holmgren is making a STATEMENT against Boston. 21 points and 11 boards in just 21 minutes.

The Thunder lead the Celtics 63-60 in Boston. Boston has shot an unreal amount of 3s, good lord SGA: 16/3/2 Holmgren: 14 PTS / 8 REB Dort: 11 PTS (3-5 3FG) Tatum: 18/4/5 White: 16 PTS (5-7 3FG) Horford: 12/4/3

I honestly don’t know why Oklahoma City is still helping on drives. It’s leaving Boston’s shooters wide open, which is exactly what they want. 75% of their shots are from behind the arc. Make. Them. Shoot. Twos.

The way Jayson Tatum just took Chet Holmgren off the dribble was just beautiful.

Was worried about the non-SGA minutes without Jalen Williams, but thus far the Thunder are winning them 15-12. That’s a win for OKC

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with the savvy crossover on Jaylen Brown and the tough layup finish on Derrick White (with replays)

9 made FGs for Boston in the 1st quarter. They were all 3s.

The Thunder’s Achilles heel definitively has always been guarding the 3 point line. OKC has outplayed Boston in every aspect of this 1st quarter, but it’s a 1 point game because Boston has knocked down 6 triples. Know your opponent

Teams need to stop trying Al Horford. He’s too good, too disciplined, too smart and his hands are too pesky. He may be older, but he’s not to be trifled with.

@evanjk.bsky.social and I have a brand new pod for you featuring @yorush.bsky.social where we talk: - The mayorial origin story - Conference contenders/pretenders - A whole hell of a lot of Lakers - And draft our favorite players who explore “heart and hustle” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

The Thunder strike gold in a marquee matchup against the Nuggets, winning 127-103 in OKC SGA: 40/8/5 (15-32 FG) / 3 BLK Jal. Williams: 26/9/8 Holmgren: 14 PTS / 8 REB Jokic: 24/13/9 MPJ: 24 PTS / 15 REB Murray: 17/2/4 (6-17 FG)

SGA’s dagger 3 gives him another 40 piece. Hasn’t been his most efficient game, but he still finds a way to dominate.

What a hilarious sequence for Dort: he forces the turnover on Jokic and runs out for the fast break. He goes to cock back the dunk and hits it off back iron. The ball carems to JDub who kicks it to the corner for a wide open Dort 3, which he cashes in. OKC up 13

Halftime in OKC. The Thunder lead the Nuggets 61-60 in what has been an awesome game. SGA: 20/4/3 (1-7 3FG) Holmgren: 9 PTS / 5 REB Jaylin Williams: 9 PTS / 3 REB Jokic: 15/8/5 MPJ: 16 PTS / 7 REB Braun: 15/2/2

And yet there are basketball “fans” who would be disappointed with a OKC-Denver western conference finals matchup lol

Jaylin Williams BOOM counter: 3

Caruso with a nasty in and out dribble to the cup for the and-one bucket. So tough.

Hartenstein is a great individual defender, but if you just watched him guard Jokic you would think he’s the worst defender in the league. Jokic is just that good.
