Thunder for Dayz ⛈️⚡
Appreciate the consistent content, but I feel y'all should know the music in the opening countdown is SO LOUD compared to the volume of the show itself. That said, thanks and Thunder up!
Why is there no sound?
Giddey will hurt ya’ from three.
As I said in my comment after game 3, this game would give the kids a chance to demonstrate their killer instinct. Obviously they get a passing grade because they won, but it wasn't close to a razor sharp win.
By his standards, Shai had a bad game. 37% overall, 25% from 3, missed an abnormal amount of free throws, forced more shots than normal, and yet still puts up 24 pts? So… C-
Gordon Hayward is the classic "nothing to see here, move along" dud. THE one trend that has betrayed the age of this team this season are games like this one and game 1. Where missing open shots is like an ultra-contagious disease that infects everyone. Those are the games we need Hayward to be the vaccine. Come in, hit a shot or two. In 4 games Hayward has taken 1 shot, and missed it. Easy grade… F
Dort? I said he would be the story coming in and he did not disappoint. Based on his role… A+
Giddey? Let's just say it, he saved our bacon tonight. He broke the lid on the basket in crunch time and that baseline steal, with the presence to reestablish himself inbounds was sick! Solid A
JDub? My only criticism of Dub is trusting when to step up when Shai is struggling. We all need help every now and again and the MVP is no different. B+
Chet? Another defensive triumph, but not his best offensively. Grading on the rookie curve. B
Same for Cason, but his two steals were momentum shifters and earned extra credit. A-
The rest of the bench were a solid B.
Overall, it could have been better. The good news, it will be. 😊
The Timberwolves will beat the Nuggets.
Love all of the content you have Rylan as well as all of your basketball analysis. It’s been such a pleasure being a Thunder fan for literally the entire time we’ve had a franchise. We’ve been so lucky to be as good as we have throughout all these years and it’s so much fun seeing what they’re doing this year and how fast this team has risen. Being from Oklahoma and having such a good team from such a small market over the years is such a blessing. Since the Thunder have come here, basketball has become my favorite sport to watch when I didn’t care about this sport at all until they arrived. I love it and it has made this state so happy despite all of the tragedies that have happened recently and throughout history here. It’s a great day and time to be a Thunder fan and I love listening to all of your stuff! #ThunderUp
I can’t tell if you’re joking with the guy or annoyed and passive aggressive towards him? 😂
Shoutout to the haters of Giddey 🏀
I’d keep rolling Hayward out too and seeing if he finds a rhythm. If not, you bench him and try again next time.
Appreciate the psychological support from Rylan et al. This was a sluggy, literally slippery ( turnovers/ slippery ball handling/ rebounding/ missed wide open shots/ IMO Chet needs to get some consistent lift on his shot).
And the Nuggets, Timberwolves, and Thunder currently sit as the only 3 teams who have advanced to the next round… It is like these teams can't get away from each other.
Dallas and LA won't be finished for several more days. The Thunder can get some more rest. On Saturday when the Timberwolves and Nuggets meet it is going to be epic.
The earliest the Thunder will know who they are playing for sure is Friday.
Congrats guys on sweeping us, good luck in the next round. 👍🏀🇬🇧
Too much bounce back of sound when all three are in the same space,
The next hater talking point the Thunder has no experience in the second round🙄
Some of my PTSD from the Durant/Westbrook/Harden days of hero ball failures were triggered in this often anxious ball game but ironically it was Jdub/Giddey/and of course Lou that steadied the ship through rough waters.
they should call it “locked on commercials and poor audio”
Apparently a team with no experience sweeps another team. Time to prove em wrong round 2 guys lock in!!😃
The sound quality is really poor. Cuts in and out several different times and the sound cuts out towards the end. I got over the feedback and echo but can’t stand the cutting out
