This years Thunder is NOT last years Thunder! Not unbeatable, but much improved.
No one is beating us. The guy in the middle is a hater frfr. All Denver fans are🤷🏾♂️. And all yall care about is offense and forgetting that OKC boast the best defense in NBA history💀
Every single defender on the Thunder is allowed to get away with infinitely more contact than what is allowed against Shai – if Dort, Caruso, J-dub, Wiggins, or Mitchell had to guard Shai with another team's whistle they'd foul out in less than 10 possessions. Clearly it's pretty easy to win playing by a completely different set of rules but you can't really expect anyone to think the Thunder are actually this good
World B Free played on the 1977 76ers, one of the most colorful and crazy teams in NBA history. They got whacked in the championship series by the underdog Blazers with a healthy Bill Walton.
Thats the thing though…OKC (like any team) is beatable. You can't make any mistakes and hit all your open threes and hope they have an off-nite offensively. But thats really really hard!
Two trophies one cup😂😂😂
