Do you feel like the Thunder’s historic season is getting enough attention?

[JA_Carter]

They might not even match their record last season Spurs really snatched their soul, and Jdub jinxed it when he said they could beat the 2016 Warriors and 96 Bulls.

Houston, Denver, Minny and Spurs can realistically beat them in the playoffs. Wouldn’t be surprised if they trade for Giannis

It's getting attention now

 

[cartierhoe]

They're on a downswing right now but I still don't see them making a rash decision like trading for Giannis. This is the NBA, teams go through lulls all the time. Them getting that record is over with but they'd still be my top choice to come out of the West.

Never fails to amaze how dumb people get when it comes to the Thunder no matter what is happening, just wild swings from one extreme to the other while saying dumb shyt

It’s extremely difficult to win 70+ games period for any team.

3 reasons why people don't care or talk about it

1. Flopping. When you flop a lot, even when you're super talented elsewhere, people simply start disliking you more.
2. 73-9 in that NBA, or 72-10 in the Bulls' NBA, is way harder than doing it today. Refs and the league have made the game super score focused to the point where looking at someone is a foul.
3. The Thunder are a solid basketball team, that is highly unlikeable for a multitude of reasons - but it's basically the "young kids kicking in doors and the older folks hate it" phenomenon. They are super young, and come across arrogant. BUT they can legit ball. The combo is making people not want to mention them.

chet & j.w. have not been able to keep up with sga

okc has one sure thing & a bunch of maybe maybe nots right now

lacking consistency from the supporting cast is the story

I hear you.

Championship Warriors were moving illegal screens, had Draymond play dirty, etc. and people still tuned in their games a lot because that team had personality. People were either watching to see them lose or rooting for them.

Miami Big 3 used to flop a lot and still had everyone watch their games because of Bron, Wade and Bosh.

OKC don't have much of a personality to build a huge stanbase like those two teams I mentioned...their flopping and dirty play could probably get them some extra viewership of people wanting to see them fail lol. That Spurs/OKC got a big viewership as some fans felt like Wemby could realistically beat them at the cup game, which had some importance, and he did.

man your spurs really did a number on them. I feel like Detroit or Denver or even the NY Knicks (oh oh) can do the same...

I don't see it with Minny, they got smoked 4-1 and they're even worse on the perimeter this season with no NAW

Lets keep this thread focused on the Thunder. Any other game you seem to be referencing is in the past now.
