@@LooseNeutralyou act like those games are comparable lol. Winning by 7 with a 10 FT differential VS losing by 50 if the Thunder starters stay in are very different situations
Thunder fan here I started watching yall a few weeks ago i thought you were knicks podcast only but I keep catching new videos of yall and you know hoops! Thanks for covering my thunder! New sub
This is why last week I told Cavs fans don’t get ahead of themselves. Thunder have still not played a single game healthy. People don’t realize Thunder are legit legit. Chet and iHart will make every matchup easier. They still have their 1st RD pick Topic who hasn’t played. They own Clippers, Miami, and Sixers FRP. They have 20 second RD picks and about 10+ FRP’s. They are young af and have the cap space to sign their big 3 while the role guys are locked up for the next few years. This is going to come down to luck but roster wise Thunder look nasty
Playing the Thunder is basically like playing an all-defense team. There are at least 7 players that could/should get votes for the 1st or 2nd team. Dort, Caruso, Wallace, SGA, Chet, IHart and JDub.
Y’all are so hyperbolic. They’re both the best teams in the NBA, literally tied record-wise. They great for different but at the same time similar reasons. The whole NBA needs to acknowledge both teams, not one over the other.
After the 1st game, they were talking about making a league wide statement. I said, "What? That you barely escaped at home against a team that are down a couple of players? Let's see what happens next week in OKC before we start talking about making statements." Well, I'd say that getting your ass handed to you vs. escaping by a fingernail makes a much louder statement. Wouldn't you?
@LooseNeutral It is when you consider that it was a 4-point game well into the last 2 minutes. And they had come from behind to pull it off. Credit the Cavs. They're a good team. I just thought, as this game glaringly proved, that all the "making a statement" talk was silly and premature.
How did that thumbnail go last week? “Cav’s leave no doubt as the best team in the NBA?” If that was the thumbnail after the Cavs nearly lost at home, after 3 days rest, and against a team missing 3 of their top 8 players, this one should be even more over the top. OKC was up be over 40 points during this game and they didn’t have Hartenstein or Chet this time
This game was amazing, I enjoyed it. Dort was amazing. Yet, I am impressed with all the bench and anyone brought from the Thunder Blue, they trained them well so that whenever they get an opportunity to play with the OKC thunder, they play the same typenof basketball.
Look at both of these teams numbers for the year. Regardless of the beating, give credit for the good season the cavs are having as well. It’s fun to think about these two teams meeting up in the future. Good game guys! Good show!
Have never seen Shai so animated - really wanted this game ! Stepped up as Leader of this team. What happens when Chet comes back ? Look at their 2 wins over Cavs last year - Chet had 2 of his best games against them, with 8 blocks in one of them.
7 game series I assume is a playoffs scenario - Thunder will have Chet and hopefully a healthy iHart too. They got Cleveland covered in every department when that happens. Not a diss on Cleveland, they're an incredible team.
We are half way through the season and missing key parts throughout and are the second best net rating in nba history you guys gave us a lot of praise but don’t sleep they are wayyy better than u guys realize
Love the breakdown and this is a tiny complaint buuut I can’t stand the “well they shot bad” excuse. Is it really a coincidence that every team that plays the Thunder shoots bad or should we give more credit to the team that is consistently making great shooting teams look pedestrian?
Thanks for watching! I think both things can be true. The Thunder are the best team in the league defensively and played a great game. We mentioned how well they played defensively in this video. At the same time the Cavs missed some open shots in the 1Q. Personally don’t think that takes away from how good OKC was, and if it did that’s not the intention
You guys blow everything out of proportion. Last time I checked OKC and the Cavs are 1-1, each on their own court and i expected that. . Now I didn't expect a 20 point win. When I saw the Cavs miss 9 straight "open" jumpers, I knew it wasn't going to be their night.
@gregblocker3235 dohhh when you thought you were onto something🤣🤣🤣 he went will see you in the playoffs...... oh wait no we won't. Okc will choke first round 🤣🤣🤣
THUNDER UP BABY!!! Lets GO ALPHABET BOYS, O.K.C.D! so its really simple to me when it comes to who was the more dominant team and whi had the better win, Cleveland At Home was only up by 4 with 2 minutes left ended uo winning by 7,that was Cleveland At there best afted the game all the cavs fans saying that was a statement..Now OKC up by 42 points before the 4th quarter ended up winning by 20 That was OKC at there best.the game was over in the 2nd quarter if we all are being honest.Now you tell me what team had the better win and made the better Statement
I don't see any team beating the Thunder in a 7 game series as is. If they can get healthy and get both Chet and IHart on the floor together, I'm not sure there's a team that can win more than 1 game in a series against them.
“But the way the cavs have played throughout the whole season, they just look dominant.” You ARE aware that the Thunder have the EXACT same amount of Ws & Ls, right?!
You sticking with the Cavs in a 7 game series bro?? After that shilacking? This game told me that if the thunder lose 1 game they have the coach and the ability to adjust very well and come back very serious. They keep getting better and better man Their offense is getting really good
Cavs were never the best… no one said that besides Cavs fans. LOL they barely escaped that win last week. The best at what, regular season records?? Anyone with a brain knows that Cavs won’t beat Boston or OKC in a series. LOL.
No stab at you guys but it’s getting kind of annoying to keep hearing “oh they shot bad so they lost the game” everytime OKC has a defensive masterclass against a top team… they’re shooting bad bc of OKC it’s not a coincidence at this point.
We did give credit to OKC for that though, no? I get that I said the Cavs missed open shots, but two things can be true. The Thunder were great on defense AND the Cavs missed open shots. We talk about how good OKC is on defense throughout the video. Appreciate the comment though I get where you’re coming from OKC deserves all the credit!
Cavs played as bad as they could possibly play. This is definitely an outlier game. They definitely have some working to do. But that was half as many threes they usually make. Okc is definitely the better team right now. But I wouldn't overreact
Cavs are not keeping up with a healthy Thunder. Last week they needed to be perfect to keep up with OKC and Thunder have not been healthy at all. Chet easily swings that game matched up on Mobley while iHart blows up any dump offs to Allen. People really need to stop disrespecting OKC 😂
@@AustinNorton28 that was years ago. Chet wasn’t even in the league at that point 😂 You’re coping. He’s probably okc’s most consistent 3 point shooter as wild as that sounds.
@ I don’t understand how that’s cope. 2 yrs ago dort shot 38%fg 33% from 3. League avg is 37% from 3. It wasn’t horrid like Roberson but it wasn’t good ether. He got way better these past 2 years but I wouldn’t call him a shooter
@ that’s cause you’re a smooth brain. You’re coping with the fact that Dort owned yall. It took the Cavs to have a fluke game last game to beat the Thunder 😂 Strus ain’t scoring 17 on the Thunder again. The Cavs offensive numbers will come back down to earth and the Cavs are going to be humbled.
A positive note as a Cavalier fan is that the team NEEDED this “BELT to A$$” moment. They haven’t played staunch defense for a few months and were due for this reality check. Now hopefully they will not try to just out score everyone. As a Cav’s fan all I can say is congratulations OKC you beat the crap out of us.🫡
The game the cavs beat OKC it was a competitive game. Earlier when OKC won against the cavs, it was a beatdown. Both those games OKC were missing key players. There's a difference there so you would understand why people are glazing on OKC right now.
It's a crazy coincidence that the top four offenses in the East all had bad shooting games against the OKC Thunder. Just crazy. 🙄
Its not bad shooting buddy it's okc defense. Dont blame on the bad shooting lol
@@MikeKahdumsarcasm, sir.. sarcasm
So they've each won one? I mean the Cavs just beat them.
@@LooseNeutralyou act like those games are comparable lol. Winning by 7 with a 10 FT differential VS losing by 50 if the Thunder starters stay in are very different situations

Can’t be an NBA pod and not cover a championship contender. Appreciate you watching!
Same here. You 2 are on point with your commentary and chemistry. Keep Going
The Thunder hasn’t even been healthy for 1 game this year. That’s scary
Props to you guys great concise breakdown. You clearly do your homework on these teams, like actually knowing the role players.
My Cavs got their clocks cleaned, old fashioned beatdown, OKC is the better team right now.
Cavs need to flip Okoro and Niang for a Big wing like Oubre Jr or Cam Johnson IF they're Serious
@@devontebroom6800 big problem for us is they absolutely know how to shut down Donovan.

Cleveland is not winning 4 games against this incredible team. OKC the most disruptive team on defense in nba history.

Mitchell trapped in the Dort Chamber again...🙂
Thunder fan here. Just subbed. One of the few even talking about the best team in the league.
OKC is the best team in the NBA. When they bring that energy, with Chet and IHart on the court, it’s over. They might not lose more than 10 games.
The fact they did this without a center too 💀😭 ridiculous. These guys are OP loud city!
Y’all are so hyperbolic. They’re both the best teams in the NBA, literally tied record-wise. They great for different but at the same time similar reasons. The whole NBA needs to acknowledge both teams, not one over the other.
@@antoniojohnson23252OKC obliterated them while not being healthy. It needs to be spoken about 😂
The reason you should pick OKC over CLE is how this defense holds Mitchell. The “Dorture Chamber” is real.
You guys are amazing! Knowledge of the game is great. Always a great watch especially when I’m an OKC fan and yall talk about us 😭🤣
You guys are the only show I watch on here because you guys give credit to the thunder you dont make up excuse

Exactly it's not like the Cavs didn't just beat the thunder less than a week ago.
Damnnnn is right
I think it all depends on if the Thunder can stay healthy but I’d take OKC in 6 if they’re healthy
Have never seen Shai so animated - really wanted this game ! Stepped up as Leader of this team. What happens when Chet comes back ? Look at their 2 wins over Cavs last year - Chet had 2 of his best games against them, with 8 blocks in one of them.
Does this win solidify the Thunder as the best team in the NBA?
Yes
Yes
I been saying that for the last few weeks
Anybody saying otherwise doesn’t know basketball. And to think this team hasn’t been 100% healthy all season
Cavs still whoop that ass in finals
Carlson was on a real contract before the 10 day. They cut him and then resigned him for 10. He's been with the team all season.
