SGA is not carrying OKC. He is their best player, but they are a hell of a team. Chet deserves so much more credit than he is getting. In the entire league: Chet is 18th in total rebounds Chet 2nd in total blocks (5th in Blocks per game) Jaylin Williams 8th in 3point % Isaiah Joe 12th in 3point % Chet 19th in true shooting % Chet 16th in win shares Chet 12th in defensive rating Cason Wallace 14th in steals per 100 possessions Josh Giddy 8th in triple doubles
I think we can say that SGA's confidence permeates through this team while the whole team is great. The Thunder has great players, with JDub, Chet, Dort, Giddey, Cason Wallace, Wiggins, Joe, Kenrich Williams, JWill. However, SGA is the catalyst, and the go-to player in the clutch moments. I think a statement like "carrying" may be a strong statement for sure, but SGA is the difference-maker for sure.
Crazy how you can go the entire video completely ignoring Giddey's contribution. Like him or hate him off the court you can't deny that he's part of the reason why OKC's where they are at right now and I'm sure he's still going to be in the organization's plans moving forward.
Check out The last storm. True OKC fans and love the whole team including giddey. Cone just radio silent about why he ignored one of the starters and most important player when sga wasnt playing.
This team is a TEAM. They have fun, and theyre getting better and its just the beginning. They go out on that court, work with eachother, and grow. I cant ask for anything else. THEY ARE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, and looking good while they do this. SO PROUD of this team 💙🧡
Awesome video cone! I thought the thunder would be a 5-8 seed in the playoffs before the season! My brothers and I are Thunder fans here in Michigan! Our mom was born in Oklahoma
Man this Thunder team is just amazing and blew my expectations out the water, especially Chet because because both my dad and I wanted to see him play in his first season and now he's just incredible
As a fellow Thunder fan, I feel that at the moment we might be slightly geared more towards the regular season than the playoffs and had us finishing 3rd in the West at the start of the season behind the Nuggets and the Suns.
Im happy for you man! Wont even be mad when you beat my mavs this evening and clinch the 1st since we are ready for the 5th seed! Lookin forward to hearing your playoff predictions
This was an amazing season for the Thunder! They have a fantastic young team and are very well coached! I've been a Thunder fan way before they were even the Thunder. I became a fan back in the mid 70's when they were the Super Sonics. I was excited to see them in the NBA championship against a great bullets team in 1978 and then coming back the next year and beating the bullets in 1979 for their only NBA championship. Since then they've had some great teams like in 1996 when they went to the finals against Michael Jordan's Chicago bulls and lost 4-2 in a very competitive series considering the bulls had one of the best teams of all time. I loved seeing the young Thunder grow and go to another championship in 2012 which unfortunately many bad calls went against our very young team and tributed to them losing the series against the Heat. Now I'm very excited about this season and the Thunder's future!!! Go Thunder!!!
This has been one of the most impressive season for a team who is in Year ONE of their window. The team that won the NCAA championship is older than this Thunder team⚡️
I don't know if anyone is in a hurry to see OKC win a chip this year... as they will probably have this same roster for the next 5 or 6 years... But it would be fun to watch. I think it is more likely OKC loses to the Timberwolves or Celtics. Would also be funny to hear all the the people in the comments section talking about how shit Chet is compared to Wembanyama after Chet Holmgren wins a championship. (I like Wembanyama a lot, but the people who talk about him on RUclips are a special breed of dumb sometimes...)@@joshuawilliams2447
I found it amazing that people, even Three here, didnt see how good this team was. They have some of the best depth in the league. The teams construction exploits basically everyone as they are the first, true, positionless team. They clearly made masurable and drastic improvements over last season and addressed roster/rotation concerns. Lastly, and this is something ive said since 2021; people have completely ignored, didnt know or never considered how SGA and Dort learned on or of the ability of leadership or to lead. Go look at year 2 of the rebuild and look at the results of when SGA and Dort where healthy, OKC was PO bound and thats why Presti didnt screw around and pulled them immediately. Even in year 1 of the rebuild, you can see it, although i doubt they where a PO team thwn Pre-season i predicted 51 to 58 wins, max. A top 4 seed with 3rd seed as most likely and maintained that even as the 1st or 2nd in the final week/5 games or so. A 2nd round exit. Obviously the end seeding was wrong and the 2nd rd exit we have yet to see. THAT said, ive adjusted my prediction to be a WCFs exit.
Real ones like Cone know what's up. Been around myself since back in the day, since them Seattle days and OKC has been one of the most consistent teams and have set a standard of excellence that comes from Presti's days with the Spurs. Proud to be a fan and really ready for the Playoffs this season! TTFU
I'm a Celtics fan but they've been my favorite to watch all year. They have fun play right and stand up for one another, it's good for basketball when the thunder and Knicks are hooping well
I been a die hard Thunder fan since KD got drafted my the sonics, I could honestly say I’m more proud than my squad than I ever been, took mad criticism over the years but wow it has to stop now, they only gonna get better from here like u said Cone even if it don’t go our way this year don’t sleep on our boys
I predicted 51 wins before the season but thought that was ambitious - it was a biased absolute wild best case scenario. Turns out I should have had more faith! Great season, this is one to remember in 10 years from now regardless of how the playoffs go.
The same ppl that said OKC wouldnt win that many games are the same ppl that said the Lakers were gonna win 60 games. I’m a Lakers fan and even i knew we werent gonna win that many games😂
Lakers just tend to have a slow start. They’ve looked way better since post ASW. It’s just a super competitive Western Conference but people shouldn’t ever sleep on the Lakers. They were a WCF team last season and that’s not a fluke. Lebron & AD always give you a chance. AD has been dominating this year
Would like to see Mavs vs Thunder in Western conference if possible. I would like to see the Thunder go far and I'm a Mavs fan so... of course I want the Mavs there. As much as Denver is the betting favourite, I think things could go a lot different than people expect. I wouldn't bet on this match-up, I just think it'd be cool and isn't out of the question.
You’re a genuine and true okc fan but slightly disrespectful to call yourself the biggest okc fan when you aren’t even from Oklahoma. There’s a lot of passionate fans down here that don’t have any other professional sports teams to cheer for. The exact reason okc home games are always so loud
@@Koldmoney he’s one of the only pro okc yt I watch with phenomenal content. Okc as a franchise and a fan base is always overlooked so I guess I took it more personally than I should
We don't need to fight. Any OKC Thunder fan we have is awesome. Loud City needs to be as loud as possible for the playoffs, and we need every fan possible.
i have $200 on them winning the conference and chip. placed it before game 1 and pays $13,000 if they win. would be my 2nd biggest parlay win. i knew they would be a new team with chet on the floor and was correct
I did not expect OKC to get the number one seed at all. It's crazy that this is the same team that missed the playoffs last year in a tragic (and anticlimactic) battle against the Timberwolves. I was one of those people who was a bit skeptical of OKC throughout the year and thought that Shai was overrated, but I followed the team throughout the season and was impressed. This is why basketball is so great - you can literally see teams make comebacks and be unpredictable in the playoffs and regular season. Speaking of playoffs, I'm not sure what is going to happen, and I'm definitely not going to make any predictions(look at 2023 playoffs, for example, lol). If OKC doesn't make it far this year, this is still an amazing accomplishment for the fans and players. Btw (if you're down) I would love to take you to a Thunder game (maybe during the playoffs or next year?) and possibly get some seats closer to the floor. Best of luck with your team and channel!!
I've been a fan since KD was drafted by Seattle but I've been a mega diehard fan since the Russ shot against the Lakers in the playoffs when he was on the fast break and threw it up as he was fouled. I'm so glad I stuck with this team because this is the most fun team I've ever seen in the NBA (I'm 28 and got a little bit of a late start, watching regularly since like 2009ish
I'm a die-hard Thunder fan & predicted 49 wins, but 56, 57 is another level. After Chets poor Summer League, I thought he'd struggle offensively for the first 2mos. Plus, I figured Chet would rest on Back to Backs. I never thought Wiggs would be 3rd for non-Bigs in TS%.
I felt the Thunder would win around 48 games at the beginning of the season and was thinking they end up between the 6th and 4th seeds because the West is so stacked and wow did they prove everyone wrong!
Serious question; if the Thunder lose a playoff series, what would have been the cause? Other than their shots not falling and other team’s shots falling (as in just ebbs and flows of basketball) can still say finishing at the rim etc.
not only did we exceed expectations but did it as one of the youngest teams with also one of the lowest free throw disparities in the league. Crazy cause we drive the most in the league..
I dont care bruh Shai is my MVP this season🔥leading the second youngest team, literally unguardable, steals leader, clutch and extremely efficient, taking the team from the bottom of the West to the very top in one season. Thats a mfking MVP resume
Hard not to be in love with this team right now. I'm frankly not hearing enough love ! Just forever wondering when their uniforms won't look like a detergent brand 😔
As a thunder fan, the issue with the team for the playoffs is that they could just as easily make it to the WCF as they could lose in the first round. The reason it’s an issue is cuz ppl will just disregard them if the latter happens, which is very undeserved for how good we’ve rly been this year. I hope we can prove the ppl wrong tho 🙏🏾
Only team i see Thunder losing to if they lose is Denver. As a Heat fan Thunder reminds me of a what can potentially be Heat team with Herro, Jaime, Jovic and Bam🔥☄️ im super excited for our playoff run aswell.
I predicted them as a top 4 seed and all my friends was like no you still have the suns nuggets lakers warriors and all I said to them is watch out the thunder are coming
bet my friend that the thunder were gonna finish top 5 in the west this season before the season started. I'm collecting my $20 next time I see him. Honestly thought they were gonna finish top 3 but he was willing to bet up to #5
i’m a thunder fan and i see where your coming from. but the thunder have taken care of business with denver and the wolves in the regular season. good luck to yall! we both are kinda in similar situations. if twolves go far i wouldn’t be mad. Ant isn’t praised enough man
I really see them as capable of making a deep playoff run however my issue is that they might get matched up with the Lakers being the n1 seed which would be the absolute worst matchup for them. They have struggled all season against them and I don't see that changing since it is just a bad matchup. If they get passed that initial hurdle and beat the Lakers they have the clippers ahead which in my opinion arent a 4 seed just started really slow meaning if they had james harden from the beginning of the season would probably be a n1 or 2 seed (I have the clippers beating dallas) assuming they beat the clippers which they are capable of even though they have struggled against them too they have the nuggets assuming they lose to the wolves or suns which they are could well lose to I see them winning the conf final and then it is either the Celtics or the Bucks (idk why the Bucks are such underdogs btw I think they match up well against the Celtics). Hence it is possible they become nba champions
Great show! I just wish your podcast would be like your show, you are a professional but the podcast where you guys do a great job but when you go off topic it’s juvenile and that’s ok for friends but if you want to make something out of it you need to be just like this show
I bet on the thunder to win the chip at the start of the regular season and all im going to say is that now im a die hard OKC fan and truly think they can win. If you disagree then tell me why in the comments and dont say"lack of playoff exspierince.
I mean nothing against Cone or anybody else but cab somebody explain to me how we keep saying "the thunder weren't supposed to be this good" when all everybody heard all off-season was how the thunder were up and coming and were gonna be one of the top teams this season.
He said it in the video people expected okc to be good but not potentially the number 1 seeed you don’t expect a team to go from the 10th seed to 1st and from 40 wins to 57
@Wrestle_Kingdom I just basically used it as a discussion board post, I will be honest I am a timberwolves fan. I just wanted to know why everybody always says this sort of stuff about the thunder when the timberwolves did a very similar thing in my eyes. Thank you for your input.
thunder are ahead of the timeline. the thunder being a contender was inevitable. everyone thought it was a season or two too early for the thunder to do this though. yes the twolves did something similar with climbing the ranks and becoming a contender but that was after a poor season last year after trading 7 picks and 5 players for gobert. not dissing yall because i like the twolves. i’m a thunder fan and if we get beat im pulling for the wolves
@blakebelcher2787 Yeah, that's fair. I was pretty high on thunder coming into this season. I thought they would be higher than the wolves, but even I wasn't really expecting this from the wolves.
It's crazy to me people would say The Thunder (a small market team) is an industry plant. All I hear every day is how the Thunder can't win it all because "no experience". It's every day. So, how are the Thunder media darlings?
Love your videos bro. However, you are not the biggest Thunder fan 😅. I was a Lakers/Kobe fan until my town got an NBA team. I grew up right off of tenth street and Western between 95 and 2015. That should tell you everything. And I don’t even want to dare to call myself the biggest Thunder fan. 😂
Thunder ⚡ up y'all playoff basketball 🏀 is back in the City the Arrival is here n sorry Bub I've been a fan since we got the team from Seattle I actually participated in the naming thing I didn't pick for Thunder but hey you can't win em all and now I couldn't imagine the team as anything else been here from the inception the miserable inaugural year in 08 but we got better quickly enough that bye 10 we got 50 wins anything sounds familiar lol that's about the only similarities between the two versions of the team this version is so much deeper and better shooting and I called us at 52 wins this year so they are 4 games better with the chance to get that 57th win which be our 3rd best season in Thunder ⛈️ history for wins and we're just getting started baby all that draft capitol and expect some more moves this off season to come so yes it's definitely an ARRIVAL
Notice you didn't say giddy when u was talking about all the good player on this team. I'm say that was on purpose and we both know he can't be in play off lineup.
I’ve become a fan of okc thru your passion for this team 😌

@@three_cone aha hard to do as a usual laker only dude
Fake ahh fans. Pick a team and stick with it
Glazin Level is 10
Same here! I don’t have my own favorite team per se, but OKC is in my top 3 to root for
SGA is not carrying OKC. He is their best player, but they are a hell of a team. Chet deserves so much more credit than he is getting.
In the entire league:
Chet is 18th in total rebounds
Chet 2nd in total blocks (5th in Blocks per game)
Jaylin Williams 8th in 3point %
Isaiah Joe 12th in 3point %
Chet 19th in true shooting %
Chet 16th in win shares
Chet 12th in defensive rating
Cason Wallace 14th in steals per 100 possessions
Josh Giddy 8th in triple doubles
I think we can say that SGA's confidence permeates through this team while the whole team is great. The Thunder has great players, with JDub, Chet, Dort, Giddey, Cason Wallace, Wiggins, Joe, Kenrich Williams, JWill. However, SGA is the catalyst, and the go-to player in the clutch moments.
I think a statement like "carrying" may be a strong statement for sure, but SGA is the difference-maker for sure.
As a Canadian sports fan I’m always gonna route for Shai. He’s a god, gold at the olympics coming this year!
Without their best player, over under 15 how many rosters would you have picked over OKC’s before this season?
Back during the WBC I was saying Shai would be MVP and I got laughed at
Yall might have a dynasty coming bro. Congrats, I’m glad my raps got a ring and my Canadian boys are on this awesome team
Crazy how you can go the entire video completely ignoring Giddey's contribution. Like him or hate him off the court you can't deny that he's part of the reason why OKC's where they are at right now and I'm sure he's still going to be in the organization's plans moving forward.

Me too. I'm just going to be happy with whatever happens in the playoffs, because I'm glad we are back in the postseason.

Yeah. You're right Even newcomer GordonHayward got a mention. Giddy is apparently a non existent player. Which team is he on??
The reason I watch basketball is to see Josh giddey ⭐
I am thinking of unsubscribing,,,,,giddy is responsible for a number of wins and contributing the most assists…..
Plus only a single photo of Giddey in the background

As a fellow Thunder fan, I feel that at the moment we might be slightly geared more towards the regular season than the playoffs and had us finishing 3rd in the West at the start of the season behind the Nuggets and the Suns.
I see us being a giant playoff contender due to our amazing play under pressure
I had us winning 50 & getting the 4 or 5. They did even better😂
😂😂😂😂ight man why y’all be lying
Im happy for you man! Wont even be mad when you beat my mavs this evening and clinch the 1st since we are ready for the 5th seed! Lookin forward to hearing your playoff predictions

Okay lebron
They just Clinched the 1seed by murdering the Mavericks
You are the perfect demonstration of why passion is so irresistibly contagious!!
We’ve come so far and this team has been my favourite to support ever! Their brotherhood makes you feel like a special part of this league.
No matter what the playoffs bring. Its been a huge success. Still stacked on drafts and can readjust their future approach.

idk how anyone can hate the thunder def one of the most fun teams in the league
I've been a fan since they left Seattle. I've always seen this coming just not this fast.
bet my friend that the thunder were gonna finish top 5 in the west this season before the season started. I'm collecting my $20 next time I see him. Honestly thought they were gonna finish top 3 but he was willing to bet up to #5
Healthy Chet has really turned us up a whole other level
As a wolves fan, this three way tie breaker shit pisses me off since we have by far the best conference record but congrats
i’m a thunder fan and i see where your coming from. but the thunder have taken care of business with denver and the wolves in the regular season.
good luck to yall! we both are kinda in similar situations. if twolves go far i wouldn’t be mad. Ant isn’t praised enough man
I really see them as capable of making a deep playoff run however my issue is that they might get matched up with the Lakers being the n1 seed which would be the absolute worst matchup for them. They have struggled all season against them and I don't see that changing since it is just a bad matchup. If they get passed that initial hurdle and beat the Lakers they have the clippers ahead which in my opinion arent a 4 seed just started really slow meaning if they had james harden from the beginning of the season would probably be a n1 or 2 seed (I have the clippers beating dallas) assuming they beat the clippers which they are capable of even though they have struggled against them too they have the nuggets assuming they lose to the wolves or suns which they are could well lose to I see them winning the conf final and then it is either the Celtics or the Bucks (idk why the Bucks are such underdogs btw I think they match up well against the Celtics). Hence it is possible they become nba champions
I’m trying to figure out why I like everyone in OKC except Chet.
I bet it felt good for you when the season ended and you got to prove all those comments wrong with your predictions!
Hope y'all finish with the first seed. We don't wanna face Denver in round 2. -Dallas Mavs fan😊
Mavs🗿🗿
Same birthday big fella
Has there ever been a 3 way tie for the 1st seed this late in the season??
Do you think the Mavs are going to hand the Thunder the 1st seed to avoid Denver untill the conference finals?
I think they’re gonna rest guys and see what happens. Thunder win alone doesn’t guarantee OKC the 1
Mavs will lose in the 1st round lol
@@three_cone How doesn't it guarantee them the 1 seed?
@@freshc9240 wow... that's crazy
@@freshc9240because if twolves win but nuggets lose, twolves get #1, Thunder #2, and nuggets #3
I figured this would be their breakout year and they’d be a top 4 seed, but I’m not confident in them for the playoffs.
Great show! I just wish your podcast would be like your show, you are a professional but the podcast where you guys do a great job but when you go off topic it’s juvenile and that’s ok for friends but if you want to make something out of it you need to be just like this show
let’s go thunder! ⛈🌪
As a fellow long time thunder fan. I was expecting 42 40
Anyone had a reply comment from cone about why he hates giddey?
Even now people say your glazing 😭😭😭
+2500 for the ship baby let's ride
I’m surprised ppl doubt presti
I bet on the thunder to win the chip at the start of the regular season and all im going to say is that now im a die hard OKC fan and truly think they can win. If you disagree then tell me why in the comments and dont say"lack of playoff exspierince.
every thunder hater says shit about experience but they dont want their team to meet sga and the rest
Remember when the thunder were getting crazy hate cause the rebuild was "taking too long"? 🤣🤣🤣
Yup. Meanwhile they were in the Bubble playoffs. It’s been 2yrs of a rebuild lol
I mean nothing against Cone or anybody else but cab somebody explain to me how we keep saying "the thunder weren't supposed to be this good" when all everybody heard all off-season was how the thunder were up and coming and were gonna be one of the top teams this season.
He said it in the video people expected okc to be good but not potentially the number 1 seeed you don’t expect a team to go from the 10th seed to 1st and from 40 wins to 57
@Wrestle_Kingdom I just basically used it as a discussion board post, I will be honest I am a timberwolves fan. I just wanted to know why everybody always says this sort of stuff about the thunder when the timberwolves did a very similar thing in my eyes. Thank you for your input.
thunder are ahead of the timeline. the thunder being a contender was inevitable. everyone thought it was a season or two too early for the thunder to do this though.
yes the twolves did something similar with climbing the ranks and becoming a contender but that was after a poor season last year after trading 7 picks and 5 players for gobert.
not dissing yall because i like the twolves. i’m a thunder fan and if we get beat im pulling for the wolves
@blakebelcher2787 Yeah, that's fair. I was pretty high on thunder coming into this season. I thought they would be higher than the wolves, but even I wasn't really expecting this from the wolves.
Industry plant is CRAZY 😂
It's crazy to me people would say The Thunder (a small market team) is an industry plant. All I hear every day is how the Thunder can't win it all because "no experience". It's every day. So, how are the Thunder media darlings?
Is luka playing today??
Jesus love you follow him because he loves you all! Great video cone!!!
Love your videos bro. However, you are not the biggest Thunder fan 😅. I was a Lakers/Kobe fan until my town got an NBA team. I grew up right off of tenth street and Western between 95 and 2015. That should tell you everything. And I don’t even want to dare to call myself the biggest Thunder fan. 😂
Thunder ⚡ up y'all playoff basketball 🏀 is back in the City the Arrival is here n sorry Bub I've been a fan since we got the team from Seattle I actually participated in the naming thing I didn't pick for Thunder but hey you can't win em all and now I couldn't imagine the team as anything else been here from the inception the miserable inaugural year in 08 but we got better quickly enough that bye 10 we got 50 wins anything sounds familiar lol that's about the only similarities between the two versions of the team this version is so much deeper and better shooting and I called us at 52 wins this year so they are 4 games better with the chance to get that 57th win which be our 3rd best season in Thunder ⛈️ history for wins and we're just getting started baby all that draft capitol and expect some more moves this off season to come so yes it's definitely an ARRIVAL
If they get the lakers they’re probably one and done
I've got my money on them loosing against Mavs/Clippers
Grizzlies on top
Notice you didn't say giddy when u was talking about all the good player on this team. I'm say that was on purpose and we both know he can't be in play off lineup.
Yo I turn 24 on May 7th! 🙏🙏
As a die hard okc fan they shouldn’t-have fought for the 1st spot.
They didn’t really fight for it. Teams started resting players for the playoffs these past 2 weeks
It’s going in our favor, we aren’t playing the lakers, and we get more home games
Is he from Oklahoma?
WCF are bust too
Then, they lost against Lakers 😂
1st round exit
No one cares about OKC and they're not going anywhere. They'll be lucky to get out of the first round.
You’re Straight up delusional
