      Well that's the season. This team has been missing players all year long. They could of used Jose tonight. Happy for the Thunder. I wanted Pels vs Wolves. But I'll take Thunder vs Wolves. That should be just as good.

        Josh Giddey one of his most surprising thing he does is rebound the ball really really well. We sure he's only 20.


        SGA What a second half turn around. What was he 3-10 with 7 points at halftime SMH.


        Dort (The Haitian Linebacker) Only thing that kept them in them in the game in the first half. They couldn't stop him from getting into the lane.


        I suggest teams don't give them wide open jumpers.

        This goes without mentioning all those damn picks they have. We don't know what ****ING Chet would look like on this already really good team. **** might get scary [emoji23].

          Think Presti can keep this group together?

            Oh probably not under the current CBA. Someone is always going to want to get paid. It's the one thing people don't give Myers credit for. The Warriors year in and year out have kept their core players while adding little pieces here and there that really fill them out. Presti hasn't been able to do that yet. I mean what GM can in this current climate? A few players need to take a pay cut for the dream to happen.

            Just taking a quick peek at their current salary. They should be in a good place for the next 4-5 years. I mean WTF SGA is only 24 years old. He's getting paid 30 mil this season. Dort is next. After that there is a huge drop off.

            But to answer your question. No they won't keep everyone injuries and trades will keep this team fresh. They just need a vet.


            (Man they are posting Kemba Walker 27 mil contract this season)

              I just hope for OKC trades a bunch of those 1st round picks this offseason. Its super annoying in 2K trying to figure out how you're going to use four 1st round picks with a full roster plus cap space.

                OKC is such a random looking team though. Dort looks like a rugby player, Giddey looks like he's about he's about to play in Wimbledon, Jaylin looks like a giant hula dancer, and Jalen looks like he took home blue ribbon at the science fair. Poku looks like a walking stick reincarnated as a human. Chet looks like he's in the Guinness World Records as worlds tallest man.

                They are just the weirdest looking team because like 3 dudes on the roster actually "look" like hoopers lol.

                  That would be a shame, because with Holmgren, some playoff seasoning and the addition of a solid vet like you said, this OKC team can be a legit championship contender.

                    They’d need more than that to become legit and a lot to break right for them too as is the case with every other team.

                      SGA is a star. Giddey and Jalen Williams are so good. Dort is a lockdown defender. Chet coming. Presti needs to stop with this pick hoarding stuff and build a team. until he does he doesn't deserve very much praise. It's similar to the Ainge stuff people had an issue with.

                        A couple things. How in the hell is Zion going out there doing windmills and **** but can't play? [emoji38] miss me with that. That would rub me the wrong way.

                        OKC is a team. Young but fearless. Giddey said after the game something I really liked and really was telling about SGA and the team. When your leader is not flustered and under control Guys see that and it has an effect on the team and we feed off of it. You can see that.

                          Yea of course. Obviously they are just kind of the flavor of the week right now. But SGA is a superstar. And you gotta like that core they are building. Giddey is a stat stuffer and is developing quickly. And they just play everybody tough. They have all season. Especially in the 2nd half of the season.

                          If they just get a healthy Chet Holmgen back that can block shots and disrupt shots with his length. That's huge. And then I think they have a lotto pick in this years draft too. And it won't surprise me at all if Presti hits on another good pick.

                          So yea things have to fall into place obviously. But you can appreciate what they are doing. There is a solid foundation.

                          Hot take. 3 to 4 years from now. People will say PG was a great player. But OKC won that trade hands down.

                            My thoughts exactly. If I'm in that locker room, I'd be giving him the side-eye.

                            Did you hear CJ's press conference when he talked about availability, preparation and having the right type of diet? He said that applies to players 1-15, but we know the deal.

                            Honestly, I don't see Zion having a long NBA career unless he can somehow transform his body and get his heath right.
