We are talking about a guy who on his first ever try at rebuilding a team drafted KD, Russ, Ibaka and Harden in his first three years as a GM. Now in his second rebuild he’s armed with the most draft capital in NBA history 🤯 he’s had carte blanche to design any roster he wants. Personally talent wise I think Houston have a better group of young guys and I say that as a Thunder fan. But where we excel is the fit. Everyone has to be a dribble/pass/shoot guy even Chet. Everyone defends. They all understand SGA is the leader. The court is never crowded because everyone has specific roles to play. Whereas Houston have just been drafting best prospects regardless of fit. They still have a bright future though. They just need to figure out who the man is there and put the best team around him and flip the guys who don’t fit.
@@SonnyK248as soon as you said Houston has a more talented group of young guys, everything else you said turned into shit. That’s absolutely insane. There are ZERO future All-Stars on Houston right now.
The thunder looked that good last night against the nuggets and they didn’t have Isaiah Hartenstein and only made 22.2% of their 3’s. They haven’t even scratched the surface of how great they can be which is scary to think about.
And their defense is one of the best in the league And let's not forget the coach and the general manager they are geniuses And the depth of this team is scary
Imagine Caruso/Dort in dunker spot, Shai and I.Hart doing pick n roll/hand-off, and Chet and JDub are ready to spot-up for 3 or attack the close-out. Unlimited options for open looks 😬
I am very ignorant on the x's and o's of this game that I enjoy so much. This video was very informative on how these plays are set up and then ran, great video.
This is awesome Alex, please do more of these breakdowns. Specifically getting the NBA public audience more familiar with these type of pet sets & schemes that most teams work out of. Great stuff mate!
Absolutely yes to more play breakdowns exact the way you do this! It’s not that hard to understand how you explain it. Maybe do a 101 and basic lesson about things like drop coverage and things like that. Keep on pushing mate and ThunderUp⚡️
Great video! Thank you for showing us their offensive patterns, which has more explanatory power than just stats for individual players. Would you be able to do one on the Thunder's defence next?
Definitely keep doing videos like this, love breaking down the specific plays!!! You might’ve already done this I haven’t checked but also breaking down defensive schemes would be sick. Keep it up!
Fantastic video! Love how you can see each time how the Denver defence breaks down. I wonder if this season isn't just going to be the OKC vs Boston show, both just look that good.
In a desperate bid to get Finland mentioned, i'd love to see similar video from Grizzlies, who got Tuomas Iisalo as their assistant coach to run the offence. Iisalo created historically good (European standards) offence for Paris last season and some of his plays are pretty cool.
Literally that was always my biggest frustration about Westbrook, he’s always chilling in the paint ball watching I only see him defend when it’s transition defence, he’s on the ball or he’s already near the paint. I think it got worse once he started getting all those triple doubles, I feel like since then or a bit before then he stayed closer to the paint and chills there in order to get the rebounds rather than being on the perimeter. Yes the rebounds are good but they come at a bigger cost when there no perimeter pressure and then he looks around surprises when his match up or someone he should’ve switched to splashes from the perimeter or a back door cut
The only thing is we missed a shit ton of 3 pointers They came within the flow of the offense though and a lot of these guys were 40% or high 30% 3 point shooters based on percentage last year I believe 3 point shooting (outside of Boston is down) so hopefully we start hitting those 3 pointers and I cannot wait to see how I-Hart gets involved in this offense with his passing abittes
Great video! Would love to see more like this. 🫡 Sga & the thunder are gonna be so tough this season… although denver didnt play great at all, id expect them to be much better next time they play okc.
Nuggets ain’t true contenders not sure why anyone surprised lol mf’s relying on Christian Braun and Peyton Watson to replace kcp and Bruce brown 😂😂 Mavs vs thunder conference finals book it especially now that they replaced giddey trash ass with Caruso
4:56 The Celtics killed Dallas with this play in the finals. That was the game Jrue Holiday outplayed the Mavs. The Spurs are trying this same play with Jeremy Sochan in the last 4 games in pre-season and the opener game vs Dallas.
I love Aaron Wiggins
Aaron Wiggins saved basketball
@@AlexHoops Beat me to it lol
The savior
Underrated and plays hard
The man, the myth the savior of basketball
Great breakdowns. Definitely would appreciate more of these in the future!
Noted ✍️ thanks for watching 🤝
OKC really did a "How to build a roster 101" right before our own eyes like damn this team is deep😮💨

Sam Presti is the greatest GM to never win a ring. Hopefully his hard work pays off this season and he goes down as the GOAT

@@BlakeHoule-o8iright!? That was the dumbest thing I’ve heard all week

their scheme is insane, excited to see them go far in the playoffs
And their defense is one of the best in the league
And let's not forget the coach and the general manager they are geniuses
And the depth of this team is scary
I was really hoping to see a channel like this so good
Thank you for the breakdown!

This was amazing! This is premium game breakdown.
Really like this recap! Keep doing it
Thanks for the glossar at the top left - very helpful as i do not know all of the terms yet

Beautiful segment, can you make a breakdown on defense? I was loving the way they out-hustled on every play.
I love how you show the action diagrams as you talk about them
This is awesome Alex, please do more of these breakdowns. Specifically getting the NBA public audience more familiar with these type of pet sets & schemes that most teams work out of.
Great stuff mate!
Great work. Would definitely love more game recaps like this one
I love this kind of content, do it as often as you please
Absolutely yes to more play breakdowns exact the way you do this!

these are my favorite kinds of videos from you
this is a really really high quality video. thanks a lot for this👏🏿👏🏿
Feels good being an OKC fan this year!!!
Fantastic video! Love how you can see each time how the Denver defence breaks down. I wonder if this season isn't just going to be the OKC vs Boston show, both just look that good.
Loved the breakout! Shared the bid to my discord
Great breakdown keep em coming
Great work. Looking forward to seeing more of these breakdowns!
I’m love the breakdown. The way they all are standing still then boom! Everyone is moving causing the defense to react. The 5 out reinvented.
Great vid, would love to see more
Love these game recaps
You are the best, continue please
Great vid. More please
Loved the video!
Great work insta sub
I am Australian and initially followed Giddy. I love this team.
Great video man
Definitely more breakdowns this season! Also what app is that at 0:47?
Great video.
Good video bro

More game play breakdowns the better bro, back up your options with game footage, great vid.
Need u to make a defensive plays video on okc aswell gangy 🔥
It's never surprising seeing Westbrook "chilling in the paint"...he has always watched the game more than play defense.
Literally that was always my biggest frustration about Westbrook, he’s always chilling in the paint ball watching I only see him defend when it’s transition defence, he’s on the ball or he’s already near the paint.

Great video. I'd watch these all day. This team is still the youngest team in the NBA!
I enjoyed the gamer, Alex. You know ball.
The only thing is we missed a shit ton of 3 pointers

I love this team now they just different 😮💨🔥
Like that you say what the plays are at the top
Thank you

Sga & the thunder are gonna be so tough this season… although denver didnt play great at all, id expect them to be much better next time they play okc.
More OKC vids, please 😛🤤💧
Why did I read “OKC sent me a message” 😵💫
NBA FINALS or Bust Chet looking like KG out there 🤔 Thunder ⛈️ up baby
I still respect coach spo alot, but daigz is coming for the clear best coach itl status man he’s so good
Nuggets ain’t true contenders not sure why anyone surprised lol mf’s relying on Christian Braun and Peyton Watson to replace kcp and Bruce brown 😂😂 Mavs vs thunder conference finals book it especially now that they replaced giddey trash ass with Caruso
Would pay Patreon if you did this for each game.
More game breakdowns 🏀
Chet looking like a young Anthony Davis
More of these
hey Can you make a video about Mac Mcclung on why he's out of the NBA.
ghost screen kick out close out pass drive kick out close out open shot
So what im hearing is mark daignault deserved coach of the year
waiting on that lakers video
Thank god they'll be too good to have a shot at the number one pick in the next draft. That'd be a nightmare for the league!... wait....

Would love to see more play analysis like that in the future. Super instructive vid
X&O 🐐
I enjoy it
thanks

Muito bom!
They could have been a dynasty if they didn't trade Giddey
Wellcome to the thunder game
The only thing that will stop them is if they keep going 8-38 from 3.
Best 3 point shooting team in the NBA last season, we’ll be fine

Yea they sent a message that the still need to beat the Mavs 💯🗣️
Mavs are worried that Thunder are on their way
Scare opp😅 we ready for any smoke with any team #Thunderup
Don’t horses get scared when they listen a thunder ?

Nobody cares about the Thunder👎
Do a video on Luka & the Mavs!
Mavs offense is jack up a 3 or cry for a foul.
Stop the hate.
@@davidcaldwell1236Sga🥱
