Nah, it's getting bad. The NBA leans on old names way too hard. It's past time to give attention to the actual future of this league. No Christmas day game for the 1st seed in the West last year and this year is crazy.
@Noticing_Nolan So you would deny a fella approaching 80 the pleasure of complementing someone he has never seen before for their radiance because somehow a single comment is obsession. Yikes, what misery your life must be.
The disrespect this thunder team gets it’s totally uncalled for! They are one of the most fun and best teams in the nba!!!! As for the game tonight it’s a matter of if dam can get around our defense and if the buck role players can step up. We know okc is primarily worried about Gianni’s, and will probably play him similar to how they play wemby (with Dort or Jdub on him and IHeart floating) we have some of the best in ball defenders in the league, Dort, Jdub, Caso, Caruso, shai, even IJoe and Wiggins are above average defenders and when you put them all in our system their potential sky rockets. As for the bucks defense just one question, who is guarding Shai? No one’s Ben able to do it so far, the rockets couldn’t do it and they have way better defenders than the bucks. And if the bucks put their best defender in SGA then who is on JDub? Who is watching Caso, Wiggins, IJoe??? All those players left unchecked will drop 15 points and I just don’t think the bucks have the defensive depth to keep up!
I think Giannis is gonna go apeshit on this "One-of-the-best defences ever". I won't be disappointed if the Thunder win, I just think the Bucks are gonna show that experience matters.
The Thunder are also playing on TNT on Thursday against the Magic. I don't know why it says that they didn't get nationally televised games until they got flexed in until the end of January?
Bro, the Thunder will be on the TV a total of 14 times this year. That's very low for a top-seeded team in NBA. Come on now, 14 games out of 82 games. The Lakers and Warriors are on TV a total of 40 something games a piece.
@ whoa whoa whoa don’t have to get so defensive. I’ll be at the Thunder game in Orlando. I just felt like every podcast I’ve listened to recently was saying they didn’t have a nationally televised game until the 29th of January. Maybe I misheard what was said but yeah it is definitely messed up that the NBA sucks at marketing one of the most exciting teams.
Not only do they get low amounts of national TV games for their record, look how many of them are away games. Hardly ANY national TV games are played in OKC.
Giannis isn’t currently in any real discussion for the MVP at the moment. If you want to compare him then he has to be compared to Jokic. As a guard, Shai is way ahead of G in the MVP race. At present, it’s not even close.
The dumb woman said that the teams are virtually the same minus one player... what? Caruso, Hartenstein, Giddey? This is a way different squad from their last matchup. Why is she here?
Sga and okc are great, but Market size aside, gotta admit the soft launch of the thunder last year was that awful commercial. Cringe is not a great sales pitch
The reverse should be the question. Shai. 30,5,6 on 51% FG, top 5 scoring. 102.7 DRTG, which is top 5 in the league, folks. Leading his team to a 1 seed in the Western-Gauntlet
You clearly are misguided. Not to discount Shai at all, but Giannis is: 32,11,6 on 61% FG, #1 scoring 109.8 DRTG (top 35) It's also pretty unanimously agreed that Shai has a better supporting cast. Shai is easily in the conversation for #3 but 1 and 2 is Jokic and Giannis
Giannis looking like Optimus Prime
It’s so ironic that literally the same day this dropped the NBA came out with a “get to know Shai” graphic 😂. Andrew was right on the money
Andrew is so good, can see him getting to Zach Lowe level.
Prodigious podcasting. Gracias for all the content!
Great vid and chat.
Suggestion: add the show title to the video title for the algorithm. It’ll help listeners find you on RUclips.
I love andrew, I live in okc and have season tickets to the thunder but I can't listen to him complain about the nba marketing anymore.
It needs to be complained about MORE

Good show. That smile on Zena is like sunrise after a week of gloomy weather.
Simping in the yt comments is crazy

GIANNIS IS THE MVP ON BOTH SIDE OF THE BALL
Giannis is actually dunking at the 2nd highest rate of his career but I do agree his overall offense and touch looks improved
Good content
Didn't know there's an MVP for the in-season tourny! Hahaha (Jokic is the MVP of the league obvs)

That got nothing to do with anything. Whoever can hoop will hoop. NBA fails itself with market size lol
The reverse should be the question.
Shai.
30,5,6 on 51% FG, top 5 scoring.
102.7 DRTG, which is top 5 in the league, folks.
Leading his team to a 1 seed in the Western-Gauntlet
With a pretty stacked team

109.8 DRTG (top 35)

Thank you. As a Thunder fan, we deserve some recognition from the league. Definitely some promotion.
They will meet each other in the nba finals this season
