Stephen Dolan @stevethunderfan.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Hey @albabycakes.bsky.social just wanna let you know that ya OKC’s only had those 5 games that ended up within 3 at the end, but they’ve had 24 games with clutch time and they’re 16-8 (3rd best % [CLE, BOS]) with +12.9 NetRtg (3rd [CLE, IND]) so they’re not like totally unproven in close games. 3120
Stephen Dolan @stevethunderfan.bsky.social · 28/03/2025It would be overly dramatic to say Lu Dort got Taylor Jenkins fired, so I'm not saying that. 5256

Stephen Dolan @stevethunderfan.bsky.social · 26/03/2025It's gonna be tough with people in and out of the lineup (rest) but there are still a few things I'd love to see on the court in these last 10 games: - Shai-AC-Dub-Chet-iHart - 0 minutes! - AC-Joe-Dub-Chet-iHart - 1 minute! - Dub + Lankenstein, no Shai - 9 minutes! 110

Stephen Dolan @stevethunderfan.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Mark Daigneault has reached .500 as an NBA Head Coach (playoffs included). Took a 2-yr tank rebuild back to .500 a little over halfway through yr 5. Started 46-108 Then 40-42 Then 102-38 Total 188-188 What a turnaround. What a coach. #ThunderUp 4365
Stephen Dolan @stevethunderfan.bsky.social · 23/01/2025I saw reporting that because the 6ers have traded a subsequent 1st, they're not allowed to amend the protections. It seems logical to me that it would be ok to reduce protections, but idk if that's the case. Having said that, idk if there's enough picks to get Philly to unprotect it lol. 140

Stephen Dolan @stevethunderfan.bsky.social · 17/01/2025OKC's historic Net Rating gets even crazier when you take out Low Leverage possessions. The Thunder have been +16.5 in minutes that matter. Once the game is out of hand, they've essentially been the Hornets, and they've played the 3rd-most of those possessions. 2302
Stephen Dolan @stevethunderfan.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Split that bubble and made them light blue to highlight. With a center is a little bit better, but both are still very good. 141
Stephen Dolan @stevethunderfan.bsky.social · 07/01/2025OKC Lineup data in Buckets. Bubble size = minutes played. ↗️= good ↙️= bad The only missing minutes are the 14 (lol) with Shai and Dub both out. Takeaways: - Dub on + Shai off + iHart off should never happen again. - Chet fixes everything - Shai is the MVP - Bubbles are fun 161

Stephen Dolan @stevethunderfan.bsky.social · 16/12/2024Probably not shocking since they're the best defense, but OKC leads the league in fewest games allowing a player to score 30+ points this season. Check out where their NBA Cup Final opponent is. 2152
