@armando11cast @Rukiasnow1 @BrandonRahbar I never feel like I can judge Chet by points scored. With Chet I believe his impact is his motor and rebound, blocking shots and demanding the paint is what makes him. 4 rebounds makes me mad before the points, he’ll grow and to act like he’s a finished product would be premature

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@armando11cast @Rukiasnow1 @BrandonRahbar How many 7’1 dudes can create their own shot. To say the 3rd team all nba, nba champion, most blocks in a game 7 in nba finals history is mid would recency bias. He was terrible tonight and subpar this series, but as far as the future they’re sticking with him.

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@ThunderChats I get it, but I’m not giving up that title I just can’t without Dub and lack of support tonight. 35 & 9 on high efficiency compared to a 7’7 guy only having 7 boards and 1 block. It’s not all stats, but I still take 2.

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@WorldWideWob Chet will respond I believe it, he was terrible though needless to say. Shai answered the call along with Cason. Some changes should be made nothing crazy, but most importantly Dub and Ajay get healthy and guys continue to improve this offseason.

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@BrandonRahbar Keep Shai out there. Need him on the floor and gotta rebound. Gonna need some guys to step up big time here.

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@BrandonRahbar Need their energy so badly to end this quarter and rest of the game. Like NEED IT

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@ThunderChats 🤦‍♂️

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@ThunderChats Lu playing hard man. Continue getting stops fellas.

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@CAlmanza1007 McCain, Jay Will and Caruso bringing energy just make a few more shots and knockdown FTs. Expect Wemby to come out firing. Gotta keep Fox in check as well.

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@BrandonRahbar Guys have to follow him. Chet been solid on D, Caruso bringing energy, but gotta make some shots. Jay will doing a wonderful job. McCain kept us in it early.

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@HoopFocusX But actually though

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@ThunderChats I’m about to throw up

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@BrandonRahbar No flagrant and use a challenge on that is insane to me.

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@BrandonRahbar And Wemby getting paint looks don’t love it

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@HoopFocusX Defense not getting it done whatsoever

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@ThunderFilmRoom Just wanna see the adjustments both teams make and hope OKCs is the bigger and better one

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@CAlmanza1007 Fast start, do what we do and let the results speak for themselves.

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@ThunderChats My question is what big adjustment do we see this game similar to last year with Caruso and Jokic? From either does Shai or Wemby come off the bench to start😂 (kidding). I’m excited to see what each team has up their sleeve though.

[HoopsWire @Hoops1Wire]

@ponchoOKC Nervous for sure and haven’t loved how we’ve looked throughout specifically injuries and Shai not looking dominate. At the end of the day though he’s always responded like a professional and given results, I trust him and Mark for tomorrow.
