    True, did not want to but I just responded to someone who did. And it is a forum so what else can you do....

    Not at all. Injury is the concern, and he just missed an entire season.

    I'm not worried about OKC long term because they have not held on to a single star player in their history.

    They have the pieces, I do think Chet is a future all-star player and SGA is an all-nba talent but I'd bet one of their young core is gone before they can even contend with it.

    Sengun would be the assist king but played without any assist at the whole first half. Another rockets in a hazelnut shell.

    Most embarassingly no one minds; HC, Stone, Fertitta, Chop Shop, R.Land, Gatlin, Roosh, Craig,Hollins, Calvin, Clutchfans, my cats Pickles&Purple, Depeche Mode, Alexander Nevsky, Gunther Grass,Mete Gazoz,...

    There is improvement, but with $80,000,000 annually spent on killa, FVV, Australian tomato sauce and Uncle Jeff probably about where we should be.

    Should worry this time. They have the best GM, onee of the best HC (did you see his interview before the game, how analythic he was), the best young core and nearly 35 picks (may be less, I do not know) in their pocket.

    They might lose one or two stars but they have too many. They are the team to beat in near future.

    They held on to Russ exactly to his sell by date, but anyway they have SGA locked up, Williams and Holmgren on rookie deals.. and they're contending now.

    That's about as good as it gets

    Now I can see why many teams passed cam during the draft night (they say this kid too invert and does not love to communicate), the fact is his body languages on court are pretty bad, which makes him look like a non teamwork guy or a ASD suffering dude.

    What's a Mete Gazoz? It sounds like it is the name of a Russian Darkwave band.

    Lord have mercy SGA's efficiency is unworldly.

    6'6'' shooting 55% from the field while scoring 31.1 PPG and a 3/1 assist ratio.

    Future MVP

    They are the best/will be the best team barring injury. It's foolish to think otherwise esp since Presti has a bajillion picks to spend.

    Well, they were the SuperSonics....if we are talking history.

    Not the Celtics but a serviceable organization.

    Why did we lose? They truly have a BIG 3 and we do not. Our big 3:

    Sengun
    Fred
    Jabari

    That is not going to cut it

    The rookies should play 25 minutes every night…he put to much trust in Dillion and Jalen tonight….Cam and Amen did not get their minutes
