The Oklahoma City Thunder DISRESPECT MAKES ZERO SENSE



The Oklahoma City Thunder DISRESPECT MAKES ZERO SENSE

All right we’re going to start this video off with me telling you some stats and characteristics about an unsaid team and I want you guys to tell me if this is a championship contending team or not now this team has a record of 37 and 17

And they’re sitting at second place in a very very loaded Western Conference when it comes to defensive rating this team ranks number six and when it comes to offensive rating they rank at number four so we have a team that’s top six in both offensive and defensive rating on

Our hands this team is also extremely efficient they’re second in the NBA in field goal percentage second in the NBA and three-point field goal percentage and they’re also second in the league and effective field goal percentage and some other crazy things about this team they’re third in the league when it

Comes to steals per game averaging eight steals per game while also being number two in the league when it comes to turnovers per game only averaging 11 turnovers per game so they’re still in the ball at a very high rate while also taking great care of the basketball and

Also with this team that we’re talking about they also have a outstanding MVP candidate on their team so when I tell you all these stats and we look at these characteristics I don’t know about you guys but this sounds like a championship contending team to me now another factor

That we can throw in there which makes some people disagree about this team being a championship contending team or not and I’m pretty sure you guys already know who I’m talking about the team that this video is on the Oklahoma City Thunder but that factor that changes

People’s minds on these guys being a championship Contender or not is age because the Oklahoma City Thunder they are the second youngest team in the NBA and right now they’re doing something that we rarely ever see in the NBA and that’s being so young and and playing at

An extremely high level now when it comes to me personally now this is a take that just makes zero sense and I don’t know if this is me being biased because I’m a young person but I don’t think and in all be it I know the game of basketball changes drastically when

It’s time to suit up for the playoffs but I don’t think this is going to be something that’s impossible or even hard for this Oklahoma City Thunder team to adjust to and I think they’re going to be able to adjust to it on the fly when

We look at the way that this team is playing when we look at the way that this roster is constructed in all of the town that they have and then most importantly I believe they are they are passing the it test with flying colors if we throw everything out if we throw

Records and we throw stats out and we just watch the Oklahoma City Thunder play 10 to 20 games I think we can all Come Away with that this is a really good team that can win an NBA championship and when you look at the Oklahoma City Thunder it’s kind of hard

To realize that they are the second youngest team in the NBA because we talked about the way that they take care of the basketball second in the league when it comes to Total turnovers per game that right there is just not normal for for young teams and I think it

Really starts at the head with Shay gilis Alexander I think the way that he carries himself and the leadership that he displays does wonders for the Oklahoma City Thunder and it makes a lot of sense looking at the way that Shay guilis was brought up in the NBA and the

Way that he was develop when he was with the Los Angeles Clippers playing alongside Patrick Beverly and Lou Williams to an in this league and they also had that iconic playoff series against Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors we fast forward a little bit when he’s with the Oklahoma City

Thunder he gets a year with Chris Paul where they unexpectedly make the playoffs Chris Paul one of the best point guards one of the best floor generals one of the best leaders in NBA history we can only imagine all the knowledge and um all the knowledge and

All the tools that shake Gil’s Alexander picked up from Chris Paul so now we’re seeing this and it’s it’s it’s flowing through all of these guys on the Oklahoma City Thunder all of these guys carry themselves really well and they’re really mature so I’m loving the leadership that we’re seeing from Shake

Gil’s Alexander and another thing I like to point out when it comes to this topic and when it comes to this debate I feel like we go back to last season this group of guys this nucleus they have already played in some quote unquote unideal situations we go back to when

LeBron James broke the scoring record that was a home game for the Los Angeles Lakers you guys saw the crowd that game it was packed out to the brim celebrities everywhere and also National nationally televised uh the entire world was watching and Shay Gil’s Alexander in the Oklahoma City Thunder they were able

To come out top and defeat LeBron James on the night that he broke the alltime scoring record that same season the Oklahoma City Thunder the same group of guys the same nucleus without Chad Homen because he was injured but they played two playin tournament games where they

Did go one and one and they ultim ultimately ended up going home but that’s still in my opinion even though those games don’t count statistically or in the win loss column that is still playoff experience because it’s played under that same style as playoff basketball and then we fast forward to

This season and we look at those those allegations against Josh giddy when that when that news first broke out opposing crowds was really letting Josh giddy have it and I could only imagine how tough that was for the entire team as far as sticking together and um um

Blocking out all of that noise the Oklahoma City Thunder during that time frame they were still able to play at a very high level and we look at them right now they’re sitting at second place in the Western Conference so I feel like they’ve been a lot of they’ve

Been through a lot of things that could test them mentally so when it comes to the mindsets and the mental stability of the Oklahoma City City Thunder when it comes to adjusting to playoff basketball I think these young guys are going to be 100% fine because they’ve seen a lot and

So we talk so that’s that’s that’s the mental side of things and now we can also look at what’s going to happen on the basketball court when it comes to playoff basketball now I feel like the Oklahoma City Thunder leading up to the allstar break they have shown us that

They can win a basketball game in many different ways they can win running up and down with a high basketball team they can also be the team that likes to play in the half court and win a defensive um a defensive style basketball game they can shoot the

Lights out we talked about how they rank second in the league when it comes to um when it comes to field goal three-point field goal percentage so it’s so many different things that the Oklahoma City do I mean the Oklahoma City Thunder can

Do to beat you in the ball game so I I think they’re going to be I think they’re going to be fine when it comes to schemes and when it comes to game plans and figuring out how to win those tough games and I also think these guys

Are going to be ready um I think they’re going to be ready mentally as well now the last point I want to look at when it comes to the Oklahoma City Thunder not being too young to win the NBA finals this year this is a clutch basketball

Team that has some really clutch players on their squad by the Oklahoma City Thunder they have had 18 games this season that qualifies as a clutch game by the NBA a clutch game criteria and in those 18 games the Oklahoma City Thunder have an impressive record of 11 and

Seven so they’ve proven that they can win these grind them out games that come down to the last few possessions and they have three guys on the squad that’s really clutch and I think a given is Shake Gil is Alexander and one thing that really scares me about him when

He’s playing up when he’s playing against a team that I want to win is that he is so poised and throughout the entire throughout the entire game it is his Pace he’s never getting sped up and something that’s even a little more scary is um is that Shay Gil is

Alexander he doesn’t really make any facial expressions and he never seems to be bothered or anything like that and so far this season in clutch situations he’s shooting 19 of 30 19 of 30 from the field which is absurd and he also had that crazy game winner against the dimer

Nuggets so they have a clutch player a guy that can close games in their MVP um in their MVP candidate for this season Chad homr has been extremely clutch this season he’s shooting 57% in clutch situations and so has Jay dub Jay dub has been crazy in clutch situations in

Clutch situation so far this season he’s shooting 11 from 12 from the free throw line so he’s been insane and speaking of Jay dub that’s another thing that I like about this Oklahoma City team each and every game it seems like he’s being more and more comfortable with the basketball

In his hands especially when Shay Gil just Alexander is not on the court when he’s not on the court they can go to Jaylen Williams to be that guy that can create for himself and create for everyone else his assist numbers has been through the roof through like the

Last two months so the Oklahoma City Thunder that’s what’s beautiful about having such a young team these guys are so young playing at a high level and it’s like they’re getting better month to month week to week day to day so it’s we can only imagine how how how great

They’re going to be when April comes around and I’m so excited for this year is NBA playoffs because it’s like in each conference there’s like four five teams that can win the NBA championship so it’s I hope everyone stays healthy this year and um it’s going to be very

  1. It makes 100% sense.

    NBA + NBA media only pushes big markets and disrespects everyone else. It's a big problem.

  2. The Thunder need to take advantage of the fact that 2 of their 3 best players have two more years remaining on their rookie scale contract. Chet and Jalen are going fo get paid so there is a small window for the Thunder to add another max level player to their roster.

  3. The Thunder are a small market and don't get that much coverage, but if you have watched them for the last few years, it is impressive how much they have improved and proven every one wrong. I am rooting for this underdog team.

  4. All the starters for OKC have single digit numbers on their jerseys… I like that…
