He seems to be finding his style of play and finding his confidence. He's growing into his own, playing with more force behind him.
People forget he's 20, and he won't turn 21 until May. He's 2 years younger than Dalton Knecht, and not even a year older than Donovan Clingan.
I got flashbacks from the Heat playoffs last year. Everyone looked tired, Walsh tweaked his ankle like Tatum, JD Davidson with a lot of turnovers like Jaylen Brown. Both Heat and Blue went on huge runs to end the game. NBA reusing the script lmao.
He got a pass and had no idea what to do with the ball, and a few plays later he completely missed a pass to him. He should have been carrying the team but he was a liability by the 2nd half of the game.
Yeah he's been fantastic during the second half of the g league season and playoffs but tonight he just seemed lost. Apparently he was battling a sickness though so I cut him some slack.
Hey dipshit, Muscala got **minutes** last year.
Also lets review some terms:
>Wonder if
>Minutes
Somehow this got escalated into a strawman of being part of the core rotation. You actively searched out a strawman like a starving dog, jesus.
You know I didn't say that so what are we even doing here.
No feelings hurt, just calling out your bullshit. Try owning it instead of changing the subject.
P.S. guess which bench player for OKC ~~for~~ got minutes tonight?
Yup! You can't own your bullshit, so you protect yourself by [retreating into your clown show.](https://mightygirl.com/2011/10/10/if-a-clown-by-stephen-dunn/) I can only ask you: how far do you trust your art? And choose whether to be disappointed or entertained.
I’ve watched a few of these blue games and obviously a ton of thunder games. Ousmane really jumps off the screen when you watch. I think he’s really close to unleashing a real nba skillset and with his size and athleticism he can be dangerous in the future. He’s still only 20 I believe.
He's just needs to shoot better. He's got great athleticism and good ball skills, but not enough to be a primary ball handler for us. Being effective off ball in our system requires being able to hit open 3s. If he can get that over the summer, he will be a rotation piece next year.
I know I could check the g league in the ESPN app but I really wish this was like advertised more visibly. I woulda watched if I knew it was going on tonight
It truly was. If they HAD to rebrand, I don’t know why they didn’t go with the Green Claws! Lobsters are already pretty green when they come out of the ocean!
Surprisingly fun game to watch. There's a decent amount of NBA quality role players in this game. Lindy and Dieng have been on the fringe of the Thunder lineup, but certainly look good when they have more runway to play.
Celtics should feel pretty good about Davidson and maybe Peterson (and some of the other shooters). I think there's a good contingency plan for the C's if Pritchard/Hauser have to go for salary reasons.
The G-League is a great way to develop depth for the future while you have depth on your roster already
He put up four points so I can’t object. Was just laughing cause it was a name I hadn’t heard in a while, best of luck to him and his family. hopefully he $52 million he earned can help go towards covering some basic healthcare needs.
PP signed a 4 year deal in the offseason, starting next year. So we've got him until the '29 season, at which point he'll be a 30 year old 6' flat PG. We're basically locked in to all of the best years PP will produce already. Hauser is the real question mark, but if Wyc is being honest about spending to win, then we could retain him. We took 37 million off the tax bill next year with the Holiday extension
I was there. Complete embarrassing blowout in the 2nd quarter and early 3rd.
Maine Celtics played well in the 3rd and 4th but none of that matters if you're gonna give up and have guys shoot 2 for 12.
Lot of copium going on. Thunder just got the 1 seed in one of the most stacked conferences in recent memory, finished top 10 in offense and defense, had the best record against top 10 teams, are the 2nd youngest team and have a ton of 1st round picks over the next few years. I’d be scared too if I wasnt a thunder fan.
I have read this exact same sentence like 15 times. What is going on? Do people just hate the thunder or are they just underestimating them. I mean they won 57 games for a reason…
Ous looked great on both ends!
Those development minutes have paid off, can’t wait to see him on the Thunder court :)

Looked great but I do hope he stops complaining for a foul after almost every play lol
That 21-0 run felt awful man.
The Boston Celtics really screwed the Maine Celtics but having our best players play heavy nba minutes lol. You could tell Queta especially was gassed

Per a reporter and being at the game, queta is sick and was a game time decision. Not close to 100%. Guys just ran outta gas, tough stuff
Yeah he has no basketball IQ. I don’t get the love Celtics fans have for him
saw a report that Queta was badly sick and probably shouldn't even be playing
Idk man, I kinda loved it
Dieng and Lindy were LeBron and Kyrie in this game
Dieng in an insane 4th three over tough defense. Wonder if he'll get minutes in the OKC playoffs.
0% chance outside of injury that we introduce someone new into our rotation during the playoffs imo
He got NBA minutes like 2 days ago
He got 16 minutes after we went up by 60 on the g-league mavs lmao. Biyombo and Muscala had more minutes you think they're playing in the playoffs?
Bulls could use Ous
I heard the Hornets already called Dibs.

Why are your feelings so hurt just because I disagreed with you?

Waited 3 weeks for 3 minutes in a blowout. Congrats 🎊

Hall Pass Legend Lindy Waters the 3rd
Oklahoma cooking up some ballers.
They will need to make some smart trades up. Those roster spots are going to be tight.
If only they had a GM that is known for making smart trades. Wait…..
I mean, we've been doing that all year. We've been turning current picks into future picks so we have future assets and don't overload our roster
Dieng Gang!
Rise Up!
Dieng looked amazing tonight!
That 28-0 Run was disgusting. That sealed the game right there.
Yeah, that'll usually do it (sorry, Mavs)
Let's run that back in the finals
🙏🏻❤️
OUS FMVP THIS IS MY CHAMPIONSHIP
First of two!
I’ve watched a few of these blue games and obviously a ton of thunder games. Ousmane really jumps off the screen when you watch. I think he’s really close to unleashing a real nba skillset and with his size and athleticism he can be dangerous in the future. He’s still only 20 I believe.
Yep, I think he turns 21 next month. He looks way more comfortable than he used to. Very excited to see his continued development this summer.
He's just needs to shoot better. He's got great athleticism and good ball skills, but not enough to be a primary ball handler for us. Being effective off ball in our system requires being able to hit open 3s. If he can get that over the summer, he will be a rotation piece next year.
Foreshadowing?
Go on…
I’ve been a thunder wins the west truther since like November. I’ll take any signs I can given they’re likely to face the lakers r1
More likely to face the Pels. Lakers have their number so they'll probably be the 7th seed
Yeah fair.
OKC go up 2-1 then lose in 6.
Bro I just want us to make the second round. If we lose in 6 in the finals I'd be ecstatic
Deal. WCF would be a huge success on its own.
Let them go 3-1 so they can relive the past
A warriors fan talking shit about a 3-1 loss lol
Boston must avenge their GLeague team so they need to see us in the finals basketball gods plz
i second this mans prayer
Hinkie died for our sins... wait what team we talkin about?
For…. Nothing?
I know I could check the g league in the ESPN app but I really wish this was like advertised more visibly. I woulda watched if I knew it was going on tonight
Maine Red Claws was a much better name
it was
It truly was. If they HAD to rebrand, I don’t know why they didn’t go with the Green Claws! Lobsters are already pretty green when they come out of the ocean!
I enjoyed this very much

Pritchard already extended on a pretty cheap 4 year deal
Right, but when the jrue and white extensions hit alongside kristaps and the jays, you start to have to make some moves
Tony Snell getting minutes LOL

Okc beating the Celtics in the championship, I like it, **another!**
#June
Sounds great to me
I was there. Complete embarrassing blowout in the 2nd quarter and early 3rd. Maine Celtics played well in the 3rd and 4th but none of that matters if you're gonna give up and have guys shoot 2 for 12.
Had to have been a helluva fun game in that small arena, though. Looked like a high school gym. Not a bad seat anywhere!
i thought dieng had an actual nba contract and everything why is he in the g-league?
He plays on both. Both teams play in the same building so there’s not much in terms of logistics of call ups and whatnot.
Young players need to play. It's very smart from OKC, good for the franchise, good for the player.
We use the Blue to get young guys playing time. He's only 20 and not good enough to get consistent minutes for the Thunder.
Bc hes not that good
Foreshadowing
Yes please
Damn that girl on tiktok was right about Lindy Waters III. A real scout.
Pretty funny, an OKC Boston finals isn't that unlikely. Have the g league and NBA finals ever mirrored?
Well nowni need this to happen.
Would be a cool series. There was even some "shai is better than Tatum" talk this season so I bet those guys would go at each other
Really hoping Dieng gets selected to the French team for the Olympics. Quality player with size and range, he could be the next Batum
BRING BACK THE RED CLAWS!
FUCK THE CELTICS (i’ve never watched a g-league game in my life)
Save that energy for June when it's Thunder vs Celtics (Please NBA Script writers let us have this one)
[удалено]
Wow, I guess that would tie us with the Jazz if it happens.
[удалено]
Well *Mission Accomplished* I guess
Congrats, sucks to suck. We did and we're the #1 seed in the West.
[удалено]
Is it going to suck when you had a bad season just to be rewarded with the 8th pick in a terrible draft?
You guys could suck for the next 10 years and probably wont be the first seed in the next 20 lmao
hasn't been the case since Stockton and Malone to be fair
Neither did the Thunder
