@tennbrian1 @Tayler_P15 It does but only if the Spurs make the WCF. It might not end up mattering much at all if they lose before then.

@Tayler_P15 Getting the 1 seed matters. With San Antonio, we need every advantage we can get. They match up very well with the Thunder.

Thunder played a really good team in the Celtics, who played great and deserved to win, while the Thunder did not play up to their standard and looked gassed at the end of a 10-day road trip (not to discredit Celtics, who played great). Not a loss to be worried about. Seeing a lot of Thunder fans online being affected by the Spurs catching OKC for the 1 seed national narrative and the Luka/Wemby MVP narratives… None of that *really* matters. June is what matters. Looking forward to these last 9 games.

He wasn’t great but was serviceable on offense. Shot over 40% from three during the finals season and the following season and shot in the mid-high 40s from the field most of his time here. I save the offensively terrible label for Andre Roberson who was excellent on D but a complete non-factor on offense.

@NBAGuyRocked @swaay2x He was terrible offensively. A lot like Dort this year. The difference is that Thunder team with Thabo didn’t have the ability to overcome it like this team can.

Thabo Sefolosha That guy rocked.

Yeah if you’re directing most of your anger toward anyone other than Howard Shultz, who knowingly sold the team to a group from OKC that just lost out on buying the Hornets and keeping them there…then your anger is misplaced. Shultz sells the team to local owners and it doesn’t move.

@ThunderND It’s still fuck Clay Bennet for life

Happy to hear that, for the first time in our entire existence as Thunder fans, the city of Seattle will shut the fuck up.

@PranavSriraman The questions are: who are we drafting over rhe next two seasons and are Sorber and Topic any good? I think those are going to be major factors as is McCain’s development.

Shai-Chet-JDub-Ajay Joe-Cason-Caruso-JWill OKC’s 8 protected I think (Hartenstein is expiring)

@JayMile96 @SleeperThunder @YossiGozlan Better plan is to pick up his team option and move him rather than just let him walk. Would imagine they’ll do that if they don’t keep him.

@SleeperThunder @YossiGozlan we can let dort walk lol

- @YossiGozlan on the Thunder’s contract situations this offseason: “Many are speculating that the Thunder might be forced to part ways with one of Hartenstein or Lu Dort, who also has a team option for next season. That would be their easiest path towards savings, but it seems unlikely the Thunder will simply let either of these players go." “The second apron issue may not matter for the Thunder. Reducing their payroll next year would mostly be about reducing their huge luxury tax penalty. They could do that while still staying over the second apron. The big risk with being over the second apron long enough is that they would have a future draft pick fall to the end of the first round, but they have so many draft picks that it might not matter.” Thoughts?

@ThunderFilmRoom I think it’s a market for one team. Going for 4 is just stupid.

Sadly, it’s a business so money trumps all, but Las Vegas becoming a pro sports market will always feel incredibly nasty.

@DevinNewsom @OU_Football @Chiefs @creed_humphrey They were just too embarrassed to admit the real inspiration

This Kansas Zoo named their new baby Rhino calf - “Creed” after @OU_Football alum and current @Chiefs Super Bowl Champ @creed_humphrey 🫶🏼🦏🏈

@LuuuuDort5 @LakeShowYo Team has been bad 3 total years out of 18 and all three were intentional. They won’t be bad there with at minimum 3 more years of SGA, J Dub and Chet under contract when it opens…and all the draft picks between now and 2031.

@LakeShowYo This has always been so interesting to me. The hype around the team is right now. In a couple years, they might be bad. Similar thing happened to the clippers and they got a new arena no one buys tickets to.

OKC Thunder are getting a new Colosseum arena in 2028 😳

@DiscussingFilm Dune: Part 3 looks way different than I expected

New poster for ‘EUPHORIA’ Season 3. Releasing April 12 on HBO.

@txrwdyreptile @HPbasketball 🤣🤣🤣 fair enough. I withdraw comment.

@HankL2 @HPbasketball Blasphemy… I’ve had this picture for years… I’m just too lazy (and old) to change it now. And it’s just a constant reminder of how unfair life can be even when you feel like you’ve got it all 😆

FWIW on the Seattle apology thing, whenever I QT'd Clemente last year in the playoffs, OKC fans were very much largely like "We do not fuck with him." Also I will GUARANTEE you that Sam Presti would NEVER indicate any kind of attitude like that. Graciousness is a key component of how he does business.

@SilverVVulpes 🤣🤣🤣

@HankL2 my reasonable, sensible, centrist compromise is that they can get a female candidate, but only if she gets lots of pussy

say what you will about evolutionary psychology but I think no other social science would have predicted the median voter being this

@Sleeper_Hoops @SIChrisMannix @SInow @TheNBABase Well then get on with it while we still have one more of their picks after this season 🤣

You’re right, forgot about 2009 😂. Can’t win championships that occurred be for the team existed lol. Probably won’t be able to catchup especially if including all of championships won in Minneapolis but it’ll be awhile before the Lakers win another so the window is open to start 😂

@HankL2 @TheDunkCentral @BrandonRahbar We’ve won 3 chips since then? Y’all have a long way to go and will likely never win that many in your history. That’s 3 of the 17. It’s Oklahoma City anyways so it’s okay

OKC’s new arena will be named Continental Coliseum, set to open for the 2028–29 season — becoming the only “Coliseum” in the NBA, per @BrandonRahbar

@txrwdyreptile @HPbasketball I don’t think anyone who lives in Oklahoma and uses that stupid Luka picture that every 14 year old in LA uses for their profile, gets a say 😂. But yes, he’s annoying at times lol

@HPbasketball Clemente makes me hate the entire franchise which is inconvenient bc I live in Oklahoma. Just so unlikable and extremely annoying.

@Only_AjDrama @TheDunkCentral @BrandonRahbar They’ve had 3 losing seasons in 18 years and all 3 were intentional. I’m going to bet on them being competitive.

@HankL2 @TheDunkCentral @BrandonRahbar Hey I’m just saying you don’t know what would happen. I didn’t believe Dallas would trade Luka. Didn’t see Shaq going to the lakers. San Antonio trading Leonard. I’m just a person that doesn’t rule anything out

Congrats dude. And kids look up to my franchise today 😂. Your team has been ass since it won in 2020 and the Thunder have been better than the Lakers since moving to OKC. Win one more championship and they’ll match the lakers there since 2008 too 😂. It’s hype time tho! Everyone is going to be telling you they have a chance to win for the next three weeks! It’s important that you ignore it unless you want to be disappointed 😂.

@HankL2 @TheDunkCentral @BrandonRahbar Win one chip and poverty franchise think they can talk. Williams and Alexander look up to my franchise goat as their idol. When those roles are reversed you can talk about the Lakers. Till then pipe down

@SybauOne @javonniii @kleeskii_x @flipbithumor @TheDunkCentral @BrandonRahbar You’re a 21 year old college dude, I know plenty about you 😂. I don’t know why you keep bringing up TPUSA. The superintendent that wanted to require every school in Oklahoma to start a chapter left office 6 months ago. That never became anything more than a talking point lol.

@HankL2 @javonniii @kleeskii_x @flipbithumor @TheDunkCentral @BrandonRahbar good thing you got your education before your government ruined it. and with all due respect, i don’t think you know enough about me to say i have no idea what im talking about. tpusa education stinks! 😭

Happened in OKC before…when players contacts were up. All three are signed through 2031. Only way they start losing on 2028-2029 is if they trade all of them and blow up the team…something they’re unlikely to do in 2 years with a million draft picks at 15 highly tradable assets currently on the roster 😂.

@HankL2 @TheDunkCentral @BrandonRahbar You don’t know what will happen In the next 2-3 years.. what if someone got traded or left. It happened with OKC before. One year they were in wcf. And then fell off

I graduated from college and own my own company. My Oklahoma education worked out just fine 😂. With all due respect, you don’t have any idea what is or isn’t relevant from your high school or college education in the real world yet lol. I’m not going to reciprocate the name calling but good luck in school. Definitely make sure you finish and get your degree.

@HankL2 @javonniii @kleeskii_x @flipbithumor @TheDunkCentral @BrandonRahbar i’m a college student luckily. probably because my classes didn’t get sponsored by TPUSA. you are cattle
