@Oklahoma City Thunder

What went wrong for the OKC Thunder down the stretch of the game against the Golden State Warriors?



The Oklahoma City Thunder fell to the Golden State Warriors in one of their final games of the season. The OKC Thunder had the Warriors on the rope, but what happened down the stretch for the Thunder to fall in this one? OKC saw Lu Dort play two different halves of basketball, Josh Giddey continues to be underrated, and Jalen Williams continues to look special as a rookie. The Bricktown boys are not out of the playoff race by any means, but look at where they sit right now. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a STAR. Jaylin Williams goes beyond the box score, as Aaron Wiggins is one of the best role players in the NBA. Did Ousmane Dieng have the best three-point game in NBA history?

  1. It’s games like this one and against Indiana where we just get completely dominated on the boards cause of our lack of size and it’s frustrating.

  2. Your analysis is on point as usual Rylan.
    As much as we want them to make play in tournament, it may be they are just not quite ready. On saying that I hope they make it this season.

  3. Initially I believed that the only team they would be able to beat would be Utah , but what you said is key . “Can they put this list behind them “. I don’t believe they can … maybe if it were a blow out , then yeah .. but this took the wind out of their sails.. respectfully

  4. I know that refs make bad calls and that is part of the game. Just felt really bad throughout the whole 4th quarter going one way. That’s where it was frustrating. The team still needs to play better down the stretch. I think some of the bad calls or missed calls were starting to impact the players mindset.

  5. SGA can be guarded just keep a hip on him and dance , keep him off balance so good luck to everyone who plays SGA

  6. The amount of difference that Chet will make next season is insane. A lot of their problems will be solved. At the same time, I really hope they add someone else of size also. Go out and sign some veteran big man. Just a classic tall, rebounding, defensive, rim running big. Doesn’t have to be a regular part of the rotation. Just someone that can play a decent amount of minutes when they play certain teams.

  7. This team was 1 game back of the 5 seed last week. At that time they had the 2nd easiest remaining schedule in the NBA. No rose colored glasses for this one bub. They collapsed when it mattered most

  8. I would love to make the play in but Chet is a difference maker for us but I’m happy we proved everybody wrong we have 38 wins plsy in or not we played great this season If we don’t make the play in we get a top 10 pick and have picks to move up I believe we will be a solid 6-7 seed next season
