Thunder fans, I know this is a budding rivalry and we don’t really like each other, but plz pray for Mavs fans rn.
I can appreciate the optimism but championship windows are not open as long as people may think. Our fanbase should know this better than anyone. Cam is a solid swing but it’s not some blockbuster so I’d like to see them do it.
Rylan get this Joel guy back in OKLAHOMAN LOL HE doesn't know his stuff on most everything. 😮😮😮😂😂😂❤
I can’t recall all of the lineups but the Parrish, McHale, Bird was the last team that featured two or more bigs. I just can’t imagine Sam will interfere with the chemistry of very young players, plus Topic and the real possibility of getting a rotational piece in this draft.
Thunder should trade for Wizard's Valanciunas or Holmes.
they got absolutely destroyed by 40 points today 😂😂😂😂
I enjoyed our rivalry while it lasted 🙁
What, am I supposed to feel bad for the Mavs? They'll burn and I'l laugh while watching
Mavs will still beat oks aslong as Pj there
There is no hope for the future in Dallas.
Didn’t we just beat you without Luka?
No the overrated Thunder still cannot beat the Mavs lmao especially with AD 😂 thats a bad match up for y'all especially with AD at the 4 lol OKC don't have anything coming against the Mavs so cut it out 😂😂😂
Sounds like a 'Lakers brand' business deal, must know LeBron is retiring end of season. We'll never know what Dallas Owner really got for doing this
Did you see Nico on media with Jason Kidd sitting beside him? JKidd could not look up to meet anyones eyes. He looked uncomfortable. Nico said he didn’t tell the coach before the trade. If I was Jason, I would feel disrespected.
As a former Mavs fan, I'm rooting for you guys to win the chip unless Luka somehow pulls it off with the Lakers.
TREASURE YOUR GM. DON'T TAKE HIM FOR GRANTED. The one guy that can truly destroy a franchise.
The Lakers are one of the worst rebounding teams in the league and it's not going to get better with Luka. Combine that with LBJ never playing defense and it's not looking good for them post season.
Dallas does improve its position post season by going bigger.
Are the Thunder going to have a sweet revenge game Monday on the Bucks at Paycom? I would love to see it. Just like beating Cleveland the next week after they beat us.
Focus on matching up with Denver, Houston and Memphis. No point worrying about Dallas anymore.
Why didn't Nico shop Luka? He could have gotten more in return? There must be a story there.
When is Luka expected to be back healthy? Will Luka be ready to play in regular season April when we are scheduled? I hope Chet will be back for us then. I want Chet, Hart and Caruso to all be totally healthy by the play offs.
Do you think Chris Paul will want to leave the Spurs since DeAaron Fox will start?
Getting Hart in the off season was one of the best moves the Thunder has made ever. Not just tall but high basketball IQ.
When will we hit 40 wins? This week with the Suns? That will be sweet. 😊
X had a post of Luka landing in LA and he does not look 270 at all.
It changes nothing. Thunder going to be wcc this year.
