  1. Easy Sweep by OKC.
    PHX has no bench players to step up against OKC.
    Their Starters is already a problem

  2. Great game from OKC! The fact that shai is keeping his 20pt game streak and being consistent is phenomenal!! Also JDub was keeping things alive today! Good job guys

  3. thunder ass clippers had to gift wrap them a team team would be bottom of the west without that dumb trade by the clippers

  4. They are a grand team. We are not. Let's make adjustments: 1. Dillon needs to shoot less, concentrate on defense; 2. Start Rasheer Fleming; 3. Start Malauch; 4. Shooting & passing practice before game # 2.

  5. 17 free throw attempts in 29 minutes…. In a blowout win… it’s so unnecessary.

  6. I don’t understand Shai haters they complain when he’s flopping and also complain when he’s getting foul and get ft for it

  7. The Sun is embarrassing, how did they even make it this far! Falling down, passing to the other team, fumbling the ball and absolutely no Defense. 🙄

  8. This will put some Suns fans right back in their place after they showed so much confidence in their ability to "beat the thunder"🤣🤣

  9. It's rare for teams to beat the Thunder, and most struggle to do so because of their intelligent, disciplined gameplay. The Thunder combine elite defense—ranked among the best in NBA history—with a balanced, efficient offense that doesn't rely solely on one star. They force turnovers at the highest rate in the league while committing few themselves, creating a significant shot advantage. Their system emphasizes teamwork, smart rotations, and spacing, making it extremely difficult for opponents to exploit weaknesses.

    Even when facing top teams, the Thunder maintain a dominant net rating, and their depth allows them to sustain performance without over-relying on individual heroics. As one of the youngest and most cohesive units in the league, they execute their game plan consistently, which is why they’ve achieved historic regular-season success and remain a tough matchup for anyone. I wish Rockets do that what Thunder been doing for some years now…

  10. Thunder are about to give Belt and SGA win an MVP and all the haters are gonna get real loud 😂

  11. Its soooo fkn funny watching people cry and pout bc of a grown man playing basketball and so what if he had 17 free throws he took 18 shots so he was basically fouled on every shot and take away the ft it's still a blowout 😂😂 crying won't fix anything
