Chuck nails it everytime!

Even the big 3 in okc went throught their naturall progression they were puppies in 2010 when they played kobe and lakers. But you saw they were coming for the next few years. This current okc team has a lot of depth and theyre young thats what makes them dangerous. I do agree with chuck their ceiling is the second round and that will depend on the match up. But you can see they are coming and they will be a force in the next few years.

We have to reserve judgement on OKC until we see what they can do first. Give them a year or two. This regular season shit is fly-by-night.

As an OKC fan I can't believe they're doing this well already. This is really something. I think next year will be the real time to make a run. The age and inexperience is gonna be a factor no doubt

OKC rebuild is ahead of schedule, if all they get this year is some playoff experience then it's mission accomplished. Having said that, don't underestimate this OKC squad. They're hungry and they have belief. Thunder up!

okc shouldve traded for a traditional center to pair with chet. now that would make them more of a threat. chet is more of a pf, imo.

Every time when someone near SGA it is an automatic foul so yeah they're unbeatable

Those saying OKC is too young don’t watch games. They play way more mature than they look. The Thunder play tight knit, unselfish basketball as good as anyone in the NBA.

People compare this Thunder team to the 2011-ish Thunder team, but I think they're closer to the 2016-2017 Celtics who rebuilt so much faster than public expectations. Tatum went into that ECF vs 17 Cavs and Lebron be like, they're saying we're still young and not ready yet. I feel like 'why not this year?'

He’s not exactly wrong. They very well could push it but playoffs end today that’s a lot to ask for 2nd youngest NBA team with 0 playoff experience. Idc if they are good in regular season. Also SGA is brilliant but good teams, especially in playoffs can try to come up with ways to slow him down.

Chuck is an idiot. OKC already beat Denver 3 out of 4 times and still haven't lost to the Suns this year. What are these guys smokin??

Chuck is right. They’re too inexperienced & Chet needs more time to become a scorer. He’s a great player but they need him to be an iso option.

Agree with Chuck.

Playoffs is a different ball game . Experience matters just remember what Olajuwon did to Shaq's team in the NBA finals in 95. I believe it was 4-0.

Denver is head and shoulders above everyone else and I don’t think it’s okc’s time yet but I’d love to see them do well in the playoffs

Who is Kenny barber how he put that shape up on his head

Okc will be just fine

How good of a player do you think SGA would be if he played in the 90s?

chuck always got his point on the mark.

I get what Chuck is saying.. It's easy to hit shots in the regular season when you're team is on top of the standings, one or two losses in the regular season doesn't mean anything to them now.. But what happen when it's a best of 7 series can these young inexperience kids make the same shots when every game counts?

NBA needs restructure its MVP award. Its should be an Eastern conference MVP and Western conference MVP there are a lot of other players deserving of that award. SGA west ,and Jalen Brunson East; your team has to be top 4 per conference. It can't be the same players every year. Fans want to see their players recognized.

THE WAY THE NBA 🏀 MVP AWARD HAS BEEN HANDED OUT THE LAST FEW YEARS .. SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER SHOULD BE THE FAVORITE ..

If OKC gets a top two seed, they'll get out of the first round. They can definitely beat any of the play-in teams. I don't think they can beat any of the the top six teams though so they need to avoid being 3rd or 4th.
