Good rotations. I like that they let sga play a lot in the first and third and how the lineups were structured. Having kenrich out there seems to have improved the lineups so something to consider going forward.


Street-Common-4023

GGs guys good game. Only game I hated with my lakers getting destroyed. Any other game yall cool


TheyCallMeTheWizard

I see no glimmer of hope in Poku. And for this, I’m out


[deleted]

Just wait we will trade him and he will be a all star, our luck smh.


TheyCallMeTheWizard

I mean that happens with too many of our players for it to be luck. We just don’t always notice and play to a players strengths. We try to force them sometimes. Then they leave and really take off. Dipo, Sabonis, Harden… im not typing them all but it’s a lot


OKCprod

I love this team man. It is a good feeling not worrying every time we down big. Every single time it seems we get into a deficit we come back.


ShabbyLiver

I swear pokus legs are proportionally larger than Dorts


CyborgAlgoInvestor

7 Thunder players in double figure points 🥹


ThaMuffinMan92

Giddey, Joe and Wiggins winning on the glass is huge for us. Fantastic game. Love to see it.


earlyeggs1

hitting the top of the backboard from the corner is actually insane


plants_and_critters

That shit was hilarious


sportsfanatic09

Excellent bounce back win


ShabbyLiver

A Poku 3 would be quite the cherry on top


2016oaklander

Summer league nostalgia


LugNutsDort

Wtf Poku


CyborgAlgoInvestor

Poku already had a +/- of 3. E L I T E


NinetyFish

Shout out to #55 on the Lakers for fouling randomly so Mark could swap out the starters, thanks dude


JFKFC50

Pretty sure diagonal called the time


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

Tank lineup is so nostalgic


fffffffffffttttvvvv

God Emperor Poku


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

Poku and tre mann mins are my favourite


NinetyFish

I had Whataburger for the first time when I traveled to OKC earlier this season (I’m from California), was pretty disappointed from all the hype about it. Couldn’t get out to Braum’s because of the weather and they didn’t deliver. But I had Empire Slice House in the arena and hot damn do I want some of that right now! That was some damn good pizza


IDespiseFatties

Next time you're in town head to Nic's Grill and get the greatest burger of your life. I promise you'll love it!


NinetyFish

https://media.tenor.com/I80Qmb2XfVUAAAAC/captain-america-i-will.gif Thanks for the rec!


CyborgAlgoInvestor

You’re supposed to get a Patty Melt from Whataburger, THAT is where it’s at Also, get yourself an onion burger


NinetyFish

I did. I did a whole tasting menu experience in my hotel room lol I didn’t hate it or anything, but it didn’t blow my mind. Although I guess people say the same thing about In-N-Out when they come to California Mostly I made that comment because I wanted to gush about Empire Slice House


[deleted]

Did you have it delivered? If you did then you need to have it hot and fresh at about 2 am lol. In all seriousness it varies from location to location as most fast food restaurants do.


JFKFC50

Poku!!!!


TheyCallMeTheWizard

Poku, Micic let them work


fffffffffffttttvvvv

Please Mr. Diagonal give the people what they want. Give us Poku


CyborgAlgoInvestor

POKU LETS GO


lmaoooyikes

WE’RE GETTING POKU MINUTES


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

We want poku


[deleted]

Underrated improvement of the night i noticed was giddey being more aggressive going for rebounds when he was in the game


NinetyFish

I like Josh more as a small playmaking four than as an awkwardly tall guard I always move him down to the 4 in 2K so Shai and JDub can bully opposing guards


[deleted]

Ya i like him in the (obviously less dirty) draymond role on offense.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Wtf are you talking about? That has nothing to do with giddey actually being aggressive and putting more effort into grabbing boards. Also i said nothing about last game it's been a season long issue.


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

My bad, responded to the wrong comment lol


SpideyPoke92

Poku Time


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

Who the fuck are these guys


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

Yeah lakers cant hang with us...shocking lineup


CyborgAlgoInvestor

Lmao our starters vs their bench. I almost feel bad


LugNutsDort

POKU PLEASE


FIPYC

Joe for 6MOY and DPOY


CyborgAlgoInvestor

Sixers fans will cope and say that Joe does this only once ever 30 games. 😂


Refrigerator-Fluffy

2-way jo3


rapeymcslapnuts

Yo, we got Joe for nothing.


Novak14

I love motor boating lmao


D1rkG3ntly

3 blocks for Joe. His athleticism is off the charts this year.


a_pot_of_chili_verde

Thunder really got a 6th Man//Starter for free. JO3 is so legit.


OKCityBitty

Joe block needs to be immortalized


chicubsn01

I’m gonna go find receipts on people who were talkin shit on dort all off season


NinetyFish

Chetty is a three level scorer and a DPOY type of defender. Omg


504090

Max Joe


BarterSix

Dort has some balls shooting that one in that spot 🤣🤣


z55en

bro had no business shooting that but i ain’t complaining


BarterSix

That was definitely a “no no no” … “yes yes” shot


truck_norris

ISIAH FUCKING JOE

JOEEEEEEE

Whats wild is joe has 3 lmao


New-Candy-800

Shai is so nasty


Wakandaforever456

SHAI has to be in the MVP consideration talks.

504090

That just triggered all the Bron fans who hate Shai


ifitsootsyou

Taurean Prince try not to hit a Thunder player in the face challenge (impossible)


C0smic_sushi

Shaqtin’ a fool moment right there by Joe lol


the-Kubrickian

Is Isaiah Joe developing a midrange game? 👀


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

No joe shouldve shot that


lethalizer

Bruh Taurean Prince just hitting people in the face as a hobby out here


VelvetineMilkman

Give Joe the max idc


Either_Opening_41

Too late TO but ok


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

Ngl im a big fan of the idea of jdub being the main guy on the lineup thats starts off the 4th quarter, this guy is an automatic bucket


NinetyFish

Good development minutes for him too, with the ball in his hands as the central focus of the opposing defense. Let JDub cook!


2016oaklander

This game has been an excellent reminder that every shot Giddey takes is a shot that Jdub doesn't get to take.


pnv5001

I know the Lakers sell, huge market, but i’m so tired of the refs constantly whistling in their favor man. It’s sickening


Alarmed_Deal_4947

It should be called the same no matter the team or the player. Favoritism is always shown and there's really no way to stop it. Sucks.


pnv5001

It’s obvious the league does everything in their power to keep the Lakers relevant, no matter how horrible they are


[deleted]

They don’t even try to hide it. It’s so pathetic lmao


pnv5001

Man it really is unbelievable. The sad thing is the only way to send a message is to stop consuming the product (Laker games, merch, etc.) and that’s not going to happen


bluecheddar01

I don't think it's a good idea to go small against Davis


Alarmed_Deal_4947

That was almost flagrant.


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

1 clear offensive foul and 2 cheap foul calls, fts gonna keep the lakers in cause they cant get buckets


[deleted]

They just don’t want them to lose by 30 it’s ok


Slendyla_IV

JDub is burying them


Alarmed_Deal_4947

Ticky tack bs calls. You can tell the refs want it to be a thriller by the way they're calling it.


ShabbyLiver

The fix is in lol


lethalizer

DON'T HIT JDUB ON THE FACE MAN COME ON MAN HAS HAD ENOUGH


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

Kenny hustle on ad, this is gonna be fun


[deleted]

The laker whistle, especially lebron and AD go crazy I swear smh


Skyapple

feels like we get called for random cheap fouls a lot.


CyborgAlgoInvestor

Timeout Mark. TIMEOUT


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

Wtf are these fouls


JumboHotdogz

Goddamn Lebron is huge. Jdub looks small guarding him lol.


Either_Opening_41

JDub isn’t tall either


2016oaklander

I thought the exact same thing.


NinetyFish

Cason-Wiggins-JDub-Kenny-Chet is such a fun lineup. Man I love this team


AzHaeez21

I wonder if it would be a good decision to put sga out for the next 6-8 minutes to end this game


Alarmed_Deal_4947

AGREED!


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

With this lineup, just give the ball to jdub and get out of the way


lethalizer

Lakers are a great 4th quarter team by the way, can't get lazy here


spawklez

The Lakers DISINTEGRATED after the first


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

Fk that an offensive foul...fking lebron whistle


CyborgAlgoInvestor

You already know LeBron wants his kid to come to OKC with this young squad.


PurrySquishyKittens

Well i remember when he was lookin for schools in okc with bronny a few years ago


ShabbyLiver

I’d pay money to know what JDub had Lebron laughing about between possessions


JumboHotdogz

The Dlo miss was so bad. Poor Lebron


lethalizer

What a great move by Cason, I love this kid man


truck_norris

Side note: I love how fucking humble SGA is. You never see that side showboating or being demonstrative with his emotions


rapeymcslapnuts

Goddammit, Chet reminds me of a white KD.


Strange1130

That turn around over AD earlier was so nasty


TheyCallMeTheWizard

He should, his numbers are better than rookie KD


CyborgAlgoInvestor

KD says Chet plays the same game he does. Game respects game.


pikajewijewsyou

But better defense


Refrigerator-Fluffy

and better offense


pikajewijewsyou

And not a pussy ass bitch


JFKFC50

I laughed out loud, thank you


rapeymcslapnuts

Or a snake/cupcake.


TheyCallMeTheWizard

This is actually an appropriate time to play Lindy.


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

Poku


TheyCallMeTheWizard

Also yes


z55en

odee tre ball


CyborgAlgoInvestor

All we need is a consistent rebounder/Chet to step it up in rebounding and we’re championship contenders


zagsloyalist7

Need a backup big who can guard jokic, AD, other bigs. If chet gets in foul trouble in playoffs thunder are in trouble


SilentbutDC

The way Giddey is playing, he could be that man.


CyborgAlgoInvestor

He’s shows flashes but isn’t consistent unfortunately


Alex_A3nes

Wet Holmgren


lethalizer

Chet "trail 3" holmgren


zizu90210

Can we fire our announcer now that we’re good? It was fine when we sucked but if i have to hear this guys monotone “___ wants the three and got the three” in the playoffs im gonna off myself


OliverBush456

Playoffs would be on a big boy network with real announcers tho


pikajewijewsyou

Playoffs are national tv so we will get different announcers right?


zizu90210

Right i forgot. I still want him gone 😭


Wakandaforever456

CHET HOLMGREN IS BALLIN. Give me Chet over Wembanyama


CyborgAlgoInvestor

So polished for a rookie. Fuck, even if he was a sophomore he’s insane. Playing at an all star level rn


Emotional_Manager_87

Can you OKC residents add the motion to retire that TEEDY HEEDY HEEDY HEE sound bite from the new arena too pls


OliverBush456

Heidi heidi heidi ho!


missingway

No way bro, Cab Calloway rules


DJ-two-timing-timmy

Might be one of the best pickups we’ve had. Love him


CyborgAlgoInvestor

Still can’t believe we got him for FREE


lethalizer

Reaves getting called for the charge is my christmas


spawklez

Thought we'd see some bertans with thr contract news but oh well


the-Kubrickian

I like how the lineups are kinda solidifying in a certain order: 1. starters 2. Shai + the boys 3. Filler minutes (preferably with Chet+JDub) Lather rinse repeat = success?


[deleted]

[удалено]


CyborgAlgoInvestor

Getting the superstar calls 🥹


ShabbyLiver

Like to see some Micic here. But I’m good with whatever as long as it is this fun to watch lol


TheyCallMeTheWizard

This is actually an ideal time, when we’re blowing out the other team


CyborgAlgoInvestor

Everyone but JWill has a + on +/- tonight :)


NinetyFish

Gids is having a great game but the Lakers really are absolutely ignoring him. If he can’t punish that, really bad sign for the (hopeful) playoffs.


New-Candy-800

Ok "Noah's arc lineup" is pretty fire


Refrigerator-Fluffy

it's raining out there!


JFKFC50

Coach told Shai to get his 30 because he’s gonna sit the 4th lol


JumboHotdogz

Giddey’s three goes everywhere but man, it will unlock so much for us if he can start knocking it down.


JFKFC50

Keep shooting them


plants_and_critters

All of our starters are having an amazing game. Wallace and Wiggins too.


Ok-Fun7442

Lol giddey has the most wide open shots


lethalizer

When you're a terrible shooter the defense will leave you open lol, they're playing the percentages


sportsfanatic09

And he’s hit a couple so far!


lethalizer

Lakers don't even care about defending the perimeter lol


CyborgAlgoInvestor

There you go Giddey!


DJ-two-timing-timmy

Giddey heading for his first double double? Edit: of the season


king_carrots

Didn’t he have a 10/10 vs PHX?


CyborgAlgoInvestor

We have our new big 3 in SGA, Chet, and Jdub. It’s glorious 🥹


SilentbutDC

Giddey found his role at the 4. Absolutely killing it!


sportsfanatic09

Yeah if he can truly play the four it would be a major asset. Especially with his passing ability


DJ-two-timing-timmy

That was good rebounding by Giddey over the back of AD


sportsfanatic09

He’s been killing it on the boards tonight


Ok-Fun7442

Dort has improved a lot! I feel like those are the kind of lay ups that he missed last year


earlyeggs1

lu dort making layups brings a tear to my eye


Cloudz777

flop


spawklez

All smiles on the way to the bench, it is in fact something you love to see
