The sense I have gotten is both the Thunder and Nuggets are very much like "You guys (other side of bracket) can deal with them."
S. Dolan@SteveThunderfan
@HPbasketball We also prefer this, go Thundernuggets.
English
@SteveThunderfan Offense is pretty, pretty good when we have all the guys tbh
English
@SteveThunderfan Protected homecourt advantage for a team that won two Game 7s at home last year. Pretty neat if you ask me
English
SAS are now 21-3 post-ASB. It’s insane OKC has been able to hold off the charge, but they’re 19-2.
19-2 with 11 clutch games. OKC is 10-1.
In those clutch min, SGA is putting up 50.2 and 7.5 per36 on 70.9 TS%.
If you want to know why OKC has the 1, that’s why.
That’s value.

@_JasonLT What happened when Shai played Jokic in the playoffs, I wonder
English
Shai’s TS% plummeted in the playoffs last year.
If he can demonstrate this level of play for 4 rounds, then we can have a conversation.
But at the end of the day, the regular season is just that, the regular season.
That’s why every year on opening weekend of the playoffs we’re so surprised at how different the game looks.
English
This is why it’s so silly to think Steph’s 2016 regular season somehow moved him past heart-of-his-prime LeBron James.
I do think Shai has been the best player this season! He deserves credit (That’s what MVP is for). But all factors being equal, give me Joker in a series.
Nate Jones@JonesOnTheNBA
Jokic still the best player in the world. Anyone that says otherwise is cooked. No one consistently impacts a game on his level. And he LOVES big games.
English
@HPbasketball I'd argue Denver can't build a defense good enough to raise their floor to OKC's level *because* Jokic is their center. I think that matters in a BITW discussion.
English
@MALowry24 Becuse he doesn't have the reason Shai wins all those games around him: the best defense since the 2004 Pistonsl
English
that makes Shai the MVP which I've said. but it isn't that Joker beat Wemby head to head, it's that he dominates the games in ways Shai quite honestly PROBABLY never will. He's the most impactful offensive player of this generation and one of the msot impactful offensive players of all time.
BUT! Sha's going to win two MVPs and two titles and that's awesome! Hes' also a legend!
Mason Lowry@MALowry24
@HPbasketball I guess Shai will just have to keep beating him straight-up and winning more than him in both the regular season and postseason.

Today does not change my position on MVP because I don't consider head to heads meaningful, too contextual, and ti's a full season award.
But it does reinforce my continued belief that Jokic is the Best in the World and even Shai is gonna have to wait until he falls off.
English
@BenHowardOPT It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Wemby being the next BITW backs up everything that's been said about him for years, so they're delighted to push him into that conversation
English
The frustration really is that SGA had to climb the mountain step by step for four years to become undeniable to the entire NBA fanbase and y’all want to crown Wemby after a two-month post-All-Star run.
Rob Perez@WorldWideWob
Current and future best player in the world throwing punches like Rocky and Drago. Consider yesterday’s coast-to-coast stinker of a slate redeemed.
English
@HPbasketball If OKC beats Utah/Lakers/Clippers to clinch, then you can sit everyone against Denver and help them get to 3
English
@BenHowardOPT Because PJ Washington and Derrick Jones Jr. shot 50% from three for two weeks in 2024
English
So why are people like Jason Timpf and Matt Moore routinely saying that Luka is a bad matchup for the Thunder?
Benjamin Howard@BenHowardOPT
Luka Doncic's last five games against the Thunder. 3/10 FGA, 1/7 3PT, 12 pts, 7 ast, 6 tov, -25 7/20 FGA, 1/7 3PT, 19 pts, 7 ast, 4 tov, -31 7/15 FGA, 3/7 3PT, 23 pts, 5 ast, 3 tov, +6 11/20 FGA, 5/11 3PT, 30 pts, 6 ast, 2 tov, +18 5/15 FGA, 2/8 3PT, 16 pts, 5 ast, 6 tov, -14
English
@CAlmanza1007 No chance. Wemby and Jokic are definitely getting votes
English
After seeing the straw poll results, think SGA being a unanimous MVP is back on the table…
English
@SteveThunderfan It had been a minute since we've made a team regret all their life choices
English
Halftime from OKC
Thunder: 82
Lakers: 51
An absolutely dominant first 24 minutes by the defending NBA champs.
Thunder fans, hit me with a GIF below that best describes how you are feeling right now.
English
@AndrewKSchlecht This team is near unbeatable when they just make open shots
English
The Thunder are picking apart the Lakers defense, and causing a ton of turnovers
Also Lu Dort is hitting shots…. He already has 11 points
English
