Anyone else remember genuine discussions comparing the speed of Westbrook, John Wall, and DeAaron Fox when he first entered the league?

Real ones remember the true “0ur MVP” campaign

This is the team that stood between us and the playoffs last season. Time to see how far we’ve come since then. This will be one of the hardest games of the month in my opinion.

Lakers fan told me before the game: “Lakers going to show you how to really beat the Sixers!”

Proceeds to lose ELEVEN times worse

Aaron Wiggins must have something to do with this because suddenly basketball feels saved

It was honestly a pretty slow week as far as news goes.

Thankful for this subreddit. It’s run by some great mods and always leads to good conversations. Thanks for putting in the work to keep this place civil right now.

I don’t even know what to say man. What a complete gut punch after how good the season has started. If this is true, I don’t want Giddey on the team. And that is hard to say. I have defended him through every single bad game. It makes me wonder if he’s known this was coming to light soon and it’s thrown off his game this season. But that’s not important now. I’ll definitely wait and see where this goes but it is not a good look right now.

Will be very interesting to see how this goes throughout the rest of the year. Did not expect him to be there so soon but the wins vs losses difference is too big to ignore I guess. All three of these guys are incredible, but only one of them plays for a winning team

Per 36 hall of fame

This was without a doubt one of the best Thunder games I’ve seen post-Westbrook. Maybe the best since then tbh. The whole team delivered in so many ways. Chet’s game tying 3 made me audibly gasp and drop to my knees at a friend’s house. These friends were two huge Chet doubters and they both had to admit that he had a crazy game. Chaidub combined for 98/14/23/4/5 on 60/40/93 splits. Truly a masterpiece game and one that should really put us on the map in a lot of people’s eyes

ROUND 3. Hoping for a TKO

Some team is going to massively over pay for him in a trade and I pray that it isn’t us

Drummond has never contributed to winning basketball. He can rebound but that’s about it. His contract is manageable but there’s no way I’d give up a first for him.

We can’t say we didn’t try. He’s been around for a couple years now and still has yet to make his mark while other guys drafter more recently have already stepped up big time (JDub, Chet, Cason, JayWill, etc.)

I hope Poku finds an NBA home but if not, I could see him being a decent player in another league

My girlfriend gave me a funny look the other day when I called Shai my glorious king

We do this every year. When will y’all learn to be patient? Can’t wait to see who starts off slow next year, leading to an eventual apology post like this lmao

This whole “get rid of Giddey” narrative is giving me Harden vibes. How often are we gonna ask in a few years, “what if OKC never traded Giddey?” when he’s averaging 24/9/8 for the 2028 NBA Champion Chicago Bulls.

Giddey is too valuable an asset to give up on just yet. He has a lot to learn and improve on, sure. But he’s a serviceable player with the court vision of a seasoned veteran. At just 21 years old, we haven’t even seen the full potential of Josh Giddey. Let him play through this slump. Cutting his minutes won’t make him better, it’ll just shake his confidence and make him worse.

That reporter was the best thing to come out of Bally Sports in years. Sports media needs more analysts who are not afraid to speak their mind.

Giddey has certainly had a slow start to the season and there’s no denying that. I think he’s just in a slump and will get things figured out soon.

Cason has been incredible. Presti struck gold, yet again. He’s exceeded my expectations in every way. Can’t wait to see more.
