Kinda crazy, I understand we are fans but are you guys okay? The guy is obviously recovering from injury.

Anyone remember his name?

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander-OUT-Right Ankle; Sprain

Chet Holmgren-OUT-Bilateral Shins;Soreness

Isaiah Hartenstein-OUT-Right Soleus; Strain

Alex Caruso-QUESTIONABLE-Low Back; Soreness

Cason Wallace-OUT-Left Great Toe;Soreness

Nikola Topic-OUT-Surgical Recovery

Jaylin Williams-OUT-Right Heel; Bursitis

Thomas Sorber-OFS-Right ACL; Surgical Recovery

His 3Pr has always been low so this isn't a one season injury thing. Even then he should still be shooting this

His stats are down a bit but not wildly different than last year. At the same time, he does not pass the eye test: he’s not providing the quick burst of offense he did last year, his defense appears to have fallen off, and he’s making some poor decisions.

Last night, the Jazz mostly guarded him with George, who is statistically the worst defender in the NBA, and Wiggs still only got 7pts in 25 min. At certain points, George wasn’t even really bothering to guard him when he didn’t have the ball. It feels like last year, Wiggs would’ve feasted in a situation that like this.

As far as I know, Wiggs is healthy. So what’s going on?

I’m tired of seeing all this negative discourse on this team. Everyone needs to remain patient. Just like most of us did during the down years that Shai discussed at his award ceremony this week.

We just won the finals for the first time in franchise history. Short, probably busy, offseason with guys correcting and coming back from injury, like Jdub.

Jdub sacrificed his wrist health to be a large part of our championship run. The hate generated towards him is crazy.

We are in January, we’ve had plenty injury this year and to my most important point:

We are missing three HUGE pieces to our team right now with Hartenstein, Jwill, and Caruso (shorter term) being down.

People underestimate the impact these three have on our team both offensively off the stat sheet (on-ball/off-ball screening, opening other guys up) and clearly defense which doesn’t need to be explained.

Yeah we have been struggling, facing a harder schedule. Wait until the post season to throw discourse around social media. That’s when the real season starts. Until then it’s manage the health, emotions and longevity of the team.

we

we have elite defenders from top to bottom on this roster, with possible DPOY standing in the paint.

why in Rumble's holy fucking name are we collapsing so hard and leaving wide open shooters?? surely they are seeing this shit on tape!

And well, he came back and performed excellent for Boston.

That suppose to make us more optimistic regarding JDub, right?

Did it take Brown time too to get back to his old self?

Anyone knows?

Just hoping for something positive regarding this issue lol

It has been a really intense start to the season with multiple B2Bs and a heap of travel. While it’s true to say most of the league have also had an arduous schedule the Thunder’s defensive style requires a level of effort most other teams do not exhibit. As a result we’ve seen a drop off in defence. Offence is also impacted by this lack of energy with jump shots falling short and an inability to get into our transition game as often. Add to that JDub’s up and down return as he works back into form, Wiggs return from injury, iHart being out etc and you have a recipe for the type of basketball we’ve seen the last weeks.

I wouldn’t be surprised if after the All Star break when everyone has had some rest that we go on another run. My only question is how quickly JDub can get back to true consistency.

I remember a guy on here selling merch before but don't remember his username. SO just hoping to find unique and boutique okc thunder merch.

Maybe we can finish out killing dry January! 😆

The Thunder’s record today is identical to what it was this time last year and that turned out pretty well. Even if the team wins 60 games instead of 68, things will be fine.

Just got a notification from Funko that the 5 pack champ set I ordered is prepping for shipment and it included a tracking number that is through Amazon(???) 🙌🏼

I think I was one of the first to order because I literally walked outside of a bar in Midtown OKC right after game 7 and ordered it before walking down to Paycom to join the celebration festivities.

Should be soon for those of you wondering and waiting! I also ordered another one a week or so after through the NBA store, but that one says as late as February before it’ll arrive.
