Official Game Thread: Hawks at Thunder

[shakes]

I would trade Hunter for Jalen Williams in a heartbeat.   No way OKC makes that move though.   Guy looks great.

FCK BEN SIMM…. I MEAN TRAE Y… 

Whose crowd was madder? Philly at Ben or OKC at Trae? 

Ooh, good call.  I dunno, there was a close up of some weird teen or adult dude who was looking at Trae like he wanted to (comment redacted). 

On a side note, how bad is the west?  These west teams are so beatable.  Not saying we'll beat them all, but there aint no juggernauts.  Keep that in mind when you see the sparkly records of 2 teams out there......

I would take Kenrich on the Hawks somehow though.

OKC did come to the farm and beat us good in december.  unfortunately i was there.

Eh, you'd tire of his 50% free throw percentage real quick tho.   We need a player like him tho.  I kinda think the guy we let go to MIN was one.

Oh i can't keep all those okc players straight.  didn't realize he was the free throw bricker.   You talking about Prince or Knight?

WHO Justin Patton?

[Spud2nique]

Gotta take my hat off to Lu Dort. Do y’all remember when he came in from Zona. I thought he was just a rugged off guard who played tough d. 
 

Talk about a dude who worked on his outside game and now shoots it really well from deep. 
 

I like Dort. I like Kenrich, what about Hinrich.. as in captain Kirk..

No... Not the stat that shows that Trae has done what Magic did... IN LESS TIME...

The Trahaters will have a fit. 

There are some great names who are below Trae...

• Michael Jordan.
• Larry Legend.
• Chirs Paul.
• Damon Lillard
• Stephen Curry
• Jokic
• Gary Payton

We need to appreciate this man, while we have him. 

Everyone knows Trae is talented offensively.. Winning takes more than talent.. Trae needs to be more of a leader.. And play smarter basketball when it matters most..

Glad we got the dub but they did everything in their power to lose that game… way too many turnovers in crucial moments.

Our offense is clearly better with Bogi instead of Hunter, problem is Bogi is a calamity defensively.

Yea, it's his fifth season. Not too much to ask of him at this stage considering he is officially making franchise player money.

Every road win is good win. Dre was missed defensively and I dont like this "asthma like symptoms" not at all.

Beside that, does any one else think we looked better when OO was starting and Cap coming off the bench and then finishing games?

It could extend Capela's health a bit. Cap is a better rim protector and rebounder but OO has much better hands....

Regardless of show starts or not Cap needs to be getting the bulk minutes 90% of the time. OO still not consistent enough to warrant more time.

Knight.

Nah, Knight.  Patton could never stay healthy iirc. 

[macdaddy]

I see a lot of Trae needs to be this or that.  If Trae was a great team leader, turned the ball over even less, didn't sometimes take dumb shots, and figured out how to be effective on defense, and shot 40% from 3 he might just be a top 20 player ever.    I'm pretty stoked that we have a guy who is like 6th all time in 30/10 games and he's been in the league 5 years.  

sure call me a stan or whatever but players  have faults.  all of them.   Hopefully folks saw the difference between Trae and SGA last night.

Should've held on to Nathan Knight. I really liked his game.
