The Thunder just got worked AGAIN last night, this time by the Wolves in a game they WERE favored in by 5.5. It has been a sharp and steep fall from grace for the Thunder, but is it truly panic time in OKC.
This is why the season after winning a championship is so revealing. Do you rest on your laurels from the previous year and take for granted the massive target you now have on your back? Very few teams go back-to-back. Fewer teams three-peat. The Thunder may still be good enough to repeat this year. But, given what's been happening, I'm not optimistic for them next year.
Losing the rebound battle with Hartenstein back, too. I thought he was the missing piece to their rebounding woes. Then again, he was off the court a while. I suppose he deserves a few games to get back to those rebounding numbers.
I think the refs calling more fouls on them and fewer flops in their favor is a big change.
OKC and SGA will never have my respect after last season. They were escorted to the chip by the refs, given carte blanche to foul with impunity and you couldn’t touch SGA who is in possession of stolen hardware with Nikola Jokics’ rightful MVP trophy. And now that they’re slipping, embarrassed after all that bravado, they’re trying to injure players…. I hope they don’t win another game.
Yall value regular season games like there game 7 of the playoffs lol okc is still the best record in the NBA, they haven’t had any of there players all year they just back hart last night, all good teams go thru adversities, I wouldn’t be shocked to see okc back in the finals and if that happens yall gonna discredit them again but if they lose yall gonna say “told ya so”
Skap have you heard Lebron's explanation on why there are so many soft tissue injuries now? He is claiming that the pace is higher than ever. Would love your take on this claim. Thanks for all the great content and holding the league accountable.
Story s old as time. No matter the sport, a team rises out of nowhere. They dominate. The league readjusts. Now it’s up to said team to readjust to their adjustments.
OKC showed absolutely no hunger, they never looked like they even wanted to win they were just barely trying and getting blocked or stripped every other possession
Minnesota shot 46% from free with 22 made. Thunder badly missed JW as a 2nd scorer (which he has struggle to be this season). They re not invincible at all in that set up
OKC was talking about surpassing Golden State's 73 😂 The league is trash so OKC might defend their title ultimately, but something's not quite right with this team.
And yet he fails to mention the Phoenix Suns who have been hit with injury more than any other team and also last night just prove when healthy are capable of beating anyone, no mention that they Suns can be the team to knock off the OKC. Just like everyone else sleeping on the Suns with no respect!!!

I asked chat GPT back when they were 24 and 1 of what they're projected record would be and it said it's 66 wins
Ah yes the team 5 games ahead of 2nd place is imploding. Piss poor analysis by a habitual hater of OKC. Cry
They dominated the league during their legendary one-year dynasty
I can't jump the gun
Until the trade deadline has passed.
Erin Gordan can't deal with the Altitude in Denver.
Obviously 😅😅😅

About time they started calling fouls on them.
I paused the video right after he said 22 from 47…and i was thinking 'don't say from the three point line' and he did. 47 three point attempts?!
Only 11 losses bro 🥱
The lgbtq team is struggling.😂
Pack up J-Dub get Giannis 😮💨

Love your vids, one of the nicest coverages of the NBA out here
Skap i believe should have a national platform. Maybe a guest spot on Pat McAfee 🤷🏽♂️🙏🏾

Jokic is back tonight! News just dropped
They are literally the most unwatchable team I’ve EVER seen. They play so dirty and gets calls all day like wtf is wrong with the NBA
The records are close enough that if they stay this way, the MVP needs to go to Cade.
Go Spurs Go
They are really missing Hartenstein,
Gambling is a Helluva Drug!!!

They're good but not a historic team
SGA looks like someone let the air out of his confidence tires
yes shade on SGA
