I'd agree with all that. The two teams that worry them the most are Denver and SA (if healthy). Jokic is just a fucking load and Wemby gives them problems on defense because they take a lot of mid range. SA is still pretty young, though.
They're still easily the best team if they shoot reasonably well. That's why I wouldn't read to much into that cup game. They just shot bad and they did last year out there as well. Maybe it's the arena and the depth angles. Who knows?
Saying OKC/Chet aren't "built for this" is big talk from a 21 year old that missed half the games last season and half so far this season.
Check back when he's +70 games in the regular season and then a deep playoff run.
Now show the clips of Wemby's 12 FT's in 22 minutes.
The obsession on this board with SGA getting fouls is starting to border the obsession with OU holding.
The best part was Ted Cruz Jr took a cheap shot at Chet. (Ejected.). For about a second, he thought he wanted some of Lu Dort and Jalen Williams. He thought better of that, went to the bench and then tried to go back on the court while being held back.
They should have let him fight Dort.
Seen at the SA Half Marathon this weekend. If you've lived in SA for any amount of time, whether married or single, you know how true this is and for all demographics.
Aren't NFL games on Saturdays at that point? Last year, the college games that went up against NFL got nothing.
OU and Bama on Friday night will get a fat rating.
By that time, 3/4 of the league will be actively tanking so yes.
Also, OKC will have the easiest schedule in the league because they don't play the best team (themselves).
OKC already beat them without Jalen Williams. Who does Little Reed Shephard guard?
My guess is Houston and Denver will be the 2 and 3 seeds. Winner of that plays OKC. If fully healthy, I'd bet on Denver because Jokic is a fucking load.
OKC doesn’t make that move. The pieces they’d want (Jalen and Chet) are almost 10 years younger.
Had they lost in the playoffs to Denver last year, that might be a different story.
It would be a fitting end but I don't think they have a roster spot. Could be wrong, though.
Him and SGA are great friends, though, so they might make it happen.
