Still not sure what model these are.
Had a few people suggest these were the new Ant Believe That 1's but they don't match up.

Better look, with the Dub logo on the heel
OKC ⚡️ Tracker@OKCTracker
Not the best pic, but Dub is not wearing his usual Harden’s tonight
English
@JonesOnTheNBA I remember being at the 23/23 FT game against the Thunder. My friend was complaining about calls the whole time and I looked at him and said “we’re in the presence of greatness, just enjoy it”
English
I think 2011 Dirk might have been the most entertaining playoff performance of my lifetime. 2 reasons: 1) Truly unique player/playing style. 2) No one expected it. He was labeled soft and other BS and he turned into a rip your heart out and stomp on it guy against the NBA’s best.
English
@SnottieDrippen I've always wondered what he would have looked like if the Thunder picked him over Chet
English
Fact. He gets shit on for his (many) flaws but he’s long, versatile, and can shoot a lil bit. Don’t put too much burden on him, give him a real creator, you good
Nate Jones@JonesOnTheNBA
If Jabari Smith played in a better offense with more complementary players, he’d be a better offensive player.
English
@spintheskinner @HPbasketball Notice how I said “Thunder”, and then used the stats for that team.
English
@jtown25 @HPbasketball lmao what?? you can’t just skip the old years if you’re going to compare them to other teams bc they’ve all been around longer
English
No! We don't want to do that! But we have to, because teams have taken it to this absurdly stupid place. That's the consequence. It sucks. But also? There are ways to improve that aren't the draft even for small markets. The Pacers need to be the model for these teams who can't seem to get the once in a lifetime No.1 pick
Div B@statcenter
So let's say this new plan actually eliminated tanking. Everyone tried to win all season. Someone still has to finish in the bottom 3! A naturally bad team! And we want to give them less odds to improve than better teams - and even potentially let them slip to 12th yr after yr?
English
@afuzejenkins @HPbasketball Traded with Boston for Green. The others you mentioned are the four times.
English
@jtown25 @HPbasketball If you’re counting KD why wouldn’t you count Jeff Green, Russ, Harden, Giddey, Chet?
English
@_n_agr @HPbasketball I guess technically 1.5 years is "multiple" so touche
English
@jtown25 @HPbasketball They tanked for multiple years to get to where they are.
English
@bballbreakdown @peacock I can't even watch on my computer because Peacock refuses to load anything beyond the "your event is starting soon" loop for me, regardless of where we are in the game.
English
I might have to nominate the @peacock app as the worst one to watch NBA games on. Forces you to watch ads, and just freezes when you try and jump back 10 secs
English
.@HPbasketball do you think the NBA is approaching a point where rules need to be changed similar to 04 when they realized nobody wanted a finals game that finished 88-68 and then banned hand checking? What can realistically be done so that players aren’t exaggerating for calls?
English
@johnwsnyder @NBA If they fall outside that TO window then broadcast usually sticks with them, but that's literally random based on when the call happens. Gotta keep the advertisers happy.
English
One of the many dumb things the @nba does, is go to commercial when there’s a coaches challenge. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
English
@iowahawkblog By all accounts Nebraska emptied all of downtown OKC of anything that contained alcohol last weekend
English
Honestly the biggest potential danger is Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska drinking up Houston's entire beer supply

THERE WILL BE BLOOD IN THE STREETS*
*by "blood" I mean passive-aggressive corn insults
Chris Vannini@ChrisVannini
The Iowa-Nebraska Sweet 16 game will need security like a soccer derby in the Balkans.
English
@bballbreakdown Should they have been called travels then? Both being no-calls felt strange in the building.
English
@jtown25 In 2Q, I can see why refs felt like Gui had established legal guarding position and SGA turned and bumped in to him. From broadcast angle, I don't see a foul that causes SGA to fall down in 4Q. I need another angle
English
.@bballbreakdown last night in OKC/GSW Shai fell down/was nudged twice while holding a dead ball. :40 in 2Q and 1:06 in 4Q. Both were ruled play on w/o travel or foul calls. Interested in your thoughts on those.

OK, I need recs for a new (to me) survivor pre-1960 steakhouse to visit. I've done
Keen's, Pietro's, Gallagher's in NYC
Gene & Georgetti's in Chicago
Musso & Frank, Smoke House, Dresden in LA
Brennan's, Commander's Place in New Orleans
St Elmo, Indianapolis

@HPbasketball I wouldn't bother with facts Matt, they never seem to work.

English
Their foul rates both ways do not indicate that. The Lakers' rates, however...
Jordan Freemyer@jfreemyer
@HPbasketball It's because the Thunder are officiated differently than the other 29 teams in the NBA.
English
@bballbreakdown Honestly the most confusing part here is that the trail didn't huddle with center and stand up for his call. Several times I saw lead look to center for out of bounds clarification, why not do the same here when C overrules from 20 feet away?
English
Back court violations can be confusing, as Ed Malloy overrules the trail official to call it on Williams of OKC. We hear Michael Cage say "both feet" established, but Williams needs only ONE foot down in front court and other foot off the floor. It's clear that back foot heel was in the front court, and the at Malloy had no angle to see this either way. Costly turnover that led to a 3 by Pelicans
English
@HPbasketball I love Presti but I don't know if I'll ever get over him taking Dieng instead of Duren in that draft. Had the chance to draft three Jalens!
English
I cannot tell you how much I love watching Jalen Duren. It's so refreshing to have a truly GREAT pick and roll big who screens like a demon back in the league, as much fun as the versatile ones are.
English
@HPbasketball There's not a Thunder game that goes by without me remembering that Presti (who I love) took Ousmane Dieng (after trading assets for the pick) with Duren available. Also would have given us three Jalens in one draft. Can't pass up an opportunity like that.
English
Pistons defense is 7.8 points per 100 better with Jalen Duren on the floor this season; Detroit has the No.1 rim defense percentage in the league.
English
@JonesOnTheNBA Honestly the worst thing to happen to Giddey in OKC was Dub turning out to be as good as he is. Every Thunder loves to see Josh doing well.
English
Giddey is probably gonna be as good as the Thunder believed he would be when they drafted him.
