This a nice thunder team but it’ll be another typical okc , great season record but never sealed the deal like when kd n em where there with arguably a better team than this okc
For those of you who think the Giddey/Caruso trade was really great for OKC Caruso played 20 minutes in the Denver game and had 0 points. In Giddey’s 1st game with Chicago he played 23 minutes and had 17 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists in a win against Milwaukee. Yeah OKC won this game and it didn’t matter but eventually it will catch up to them. You can’t make an idiotic trade like that with a MASSIVE downgrade in overall talent and not see the effects. This will be a recurring theme all season.
@@mattyice1973 Apparently you didn’t watch the playoffs because he played good against New Orleans. He was 9-18 on 3s in that series. He played bad against Dallas but so did everybody else except for SGA. Chet was 6-29 on 3s in the Dallas series. Should they have benched him and then traded him also? Take a watch of some giddey highlightshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqwUZ9eGVuM
@@joeldriver-sp2rg I’m all set on Giddey highlights lol he’ll ball out in Chicago im not debating that but with the evolution of SGA he couldn’t play along side him,it’s a win win for both sides!!!
@@mattyice1973 It’s actually a huge loss for OKC and eventually that will become evident. You can’t downgrade like that and not see the results. If you swap Giddey for Caruso last season OKC would have lost probably 10 more games. There’s that much of a talent gap between them.
@@joeldriver-sp2rg 🧢 lol yes Giddey’s ceiling is far higher but let’s be real there’s no way he single handily made OKC win 10+ more games as the 4th option!!!
OKC just looked faster and more athletic than them. Nuggets really need another piece if they’re gonna compete. I honestly just don’t think they’re good enough, and I said that before the season started. Their GM might need to be fired.
On paper, OKC looks better than Boston. 4 young all star -level guys in the starting lineup and at least 2 more on the bench. That’s crazy. Many of their roleplayers are high IQ strong defenders who can shoot and pass. They have to be the favorites. There are a lot of things that could go wrong, of course. But injuries and slumps at the wrong time seem to be their only potential weaknesses. OKC’s front office did an amazing job.
Denver has a lot of question marks and problems, but if Christian Braun can make a leap during the course of the season, Jamal Murray returns to form (he has looked mid since last year’s playoffs), and at least 2 guys emerge as consistent shooters, and they’re healthy and hot at the right time, they could win it. Dark horse contender for sure.
The Celtics have a lot more experience though. If Shai Gilgeous Alexander is the one guarding Jaylen Brown, while caruso is guarding White and Holiday, along with Chet guarding Porzingis, who is guarding Tatum? He’s on an island to do whatever he wants; Open shot.
