Houston has certainly been accruing some nice basketball talent during their rebuild. So much so, in fact, that they were starting to make me wonder if they were catching up to OKC.

The second quarter of yesterday's game begged a different story.

In that quarter OKC just pulverized the Rockets. Watching them dominate like that reassured me we are a vast distance beyond them overall.

Holy Moley Presti you've done it again! Any one see any familiarity of AJ's game to Jalen Brunson? Crafty lefty with great tenacity and hustle!

He was absolutely scorching the Warriors, you love to see it!

Tre Mann had +17

If we didn't have Shai, would OKC still be considered the best young team in the league? With J-Dub and Chet stepping up, they would undoubtedly make a significant impact, possibly even thriving more without Shai as they would have more opportunities with the ball. I believe our record would still be impressive, potentially finishing at 52-30 and securing the 4th seed, given our abundance of young talent and their ability to rise to the occasion. The depth and potential of our roster mean that even without a star player like Shai, we would remain a formidable team in the league, ready to compete with the best.

“He makin’ it ‘Do What It Do’ right here, partner!!!”

I'll trade a loss to the Nuggets for an ass kicking of the Rockets every damn time! 💯

Would a team consisting of KD, Russ, PG13, CP3, James Harden, Steven Adams, Jerami Grant, Giddey, Al Horford, Reggie Jackson, Tre Mann, Schroder, etc. be favorites to win a championship this season? Would there be major ego issues? Is this team too old and injury prone? In this hypothetical, there are two of each of these players. One stays on their current team and the other joins the new/old Thunder. Also, current Thunder is still around. So Thunder KD plays against Suns KD and so on, and current Thunder would also compete against them.

The Thunder bounced back in a big way tonight vs the Rockets - share your thoughts on their performance below!

That’s all thanks guys 🤙🤙

Please don't vape while you're around people inside the arena. Had some jackasses who sat in seats that weren't even their seats. Proceeded to blow obnoxioue amounts of smoke in our areas. Had to leave cuz it was hurting my eyes and giving me a headache.

Feel like he's been playing well this season. I'm surprised he has no minutes so far tonight.

The kind of thing you appreciate when we’re up big: I’ve always liked the way that Southern ref (Kevin Scott, I googled it) explains fouls. Real old school Mississippi lawyer vibe.

I hate it

he’s taken 0 3s so far in vs the rockets and he just bullying them in the post 😤

The OKC Thunder offense will undoubtedly get better. The question is will the defense still be as dominant or will it slip?

The best card I've pulled so far and I couldn't be happier it's our future MVP!
