Oklahoma City Thunder 2023-24 Season

^Really fun game. Crowd was into it big time. SGA with a 40 spot. Kings were absolutely on fire early on. The 3rd quarter was impressive by the good guys! And some guy from OCU got a full ride for his MBA!

That guy had some impressive free throws to get the full ride. Crowd was pumped.

Wemby is OUT tonight vs OKC. I really hope they sit Chet tonight than also. We can still win without Chet and he needs the rest. Get a big lead and don't play SGA and Jdub in the 4th either would be great.

Dort is out tonight (rest). JWill is questionable. SGA and JDub both appear to be playing.

Chet is on record that he wants to play all 82 games ..

That's fine 20 minutes than.

Looking at who the Spurs have out tonight this will be interesting. Lindy and Moose about to get some minutes

At this point still no clue what is going to happen. What if there is a 4 way tie for 6th 7th 8th and 9th. I'm not even sure who gets the tie breaker. We win the next 2 we have a chance for the 2 seed. Do we want the 2 seed? If there is no chance of the Lakers or Warriors I would almost say yes. Warriors are playing great right now. 16-4 I think last 20 games. Friday game will be interesting. How hard do we go? The Bucks need to go hard but wit out the Greek freak. Dallas will probably sit everyone on Sunday that could be a win evening sitting SGA and Jdub. Suns might be able to beat the Timberwolves as they might be in a must win situation for the 6 seed. So much can still happen

[kukblue1]

There will be Thunder in the Park before Thunder playoff games. Also gates will be opening 2 hours early. He did not rule out watch parties in the park if we make a deep playoff run. Story was just on news 9. If anyone can find the clip that would be great. They probably don't have it posted yet.

[kukblue1]

The games tonight might determine if we want to win the next 2 and hope to get the 2 seed or sit players a bit and get the 3 seed. Pelicans win Lakers/Warriors have a chance to move up to 7 seed than you might not want the 2 seed. Kings win could shut both those teams out than you want the 2 going to play one of the Kings/Pelicans/Suns anyway. Update. Pelicans won almost have the 6 seed locked up. 3 way tie at 8,9,10. I think the Kings have the tie breaker over both Warriors and Lakers however they play the Suns tomorrow night. Suns win Kings drop to 9/10. Pelicans play the Warriors. Warriors win Kings loss Warriors are now 8. Lakers can get to 8 if both the Kings and Warriors lose.

Pelicans can be really good but I would probably take my chances over them than the Suns/Warriors/Lakers in 7 game series. Plus on a personal note start times won't be late maybe no 9:30 games. Three seed let's lock it in.

FIRST PLACE. Didn't see the the Nuggets losing. Don't like our matchups as the 1 seed but at this point might as well go for it. Even if you lose in the first or second round you can still look back on the season and say you won the west.

[kukblue1]

THIS IS CRAZY. For everyone wanting either the Suns or Kings in the first round you might want the 1 seed now. Right now It's Suns/Lakers winner gets 7 seed and I could see Lakers winning that even though it's a road game. Kings/Warriors on Kings home floor. I could see Kings winning that than you have Suns/Kings for the 8 seed. Than again Lakers beat the Pelicans and Suns win Suns 6 seed Oh heck anything can still happen.

[okatty]

The Nuggets loss to the Spurs was wild - Wemby scored 17 points in 3 minutes including 4 3-pointers. They came from 23 down to win. Wemby denied Joker on a defensive stand for the win. Game 82 now matters!

Western Conference No. 1 seed race: What happens if the Nuggets, Timberwolves and Thunder tie?

If the Thunder, Nuggets and Timberwolves all either win or lose on Sunday, the Thunder would be the No. 1 seed in the West, the Timberwolves would be the No. 2 seed and the Nuggets would be the No. 3 seed.

The Thunder are going to beat the Mavs so the 1 seed will come down to Suns-Wolves and Nuggets-Memphis. The Nuggets may decide that they'd rather play OKC in round 2 and tank against Memphis, thus giving the Wolves the 1 seed. I doubt it though. I think it's likely OKC is at 1. We'll see who the opponent is... the West is going to be tough regardless.

[kukblue1]

Nuggets have everyone questionable for tomorrow. I think we need to cheer for the Suns who actually really need the win. They could get to 6 seed. There is going to be a lot of score board watching and adjustments are going to be made in the 3rd Qtr of games depending on scores. Like if the Timberwolves are up 20 at half and Denver is down 20 I could see OKC playing no one in their second half.

[Laramie]

Looking back at some of our earlier predictions; who would have thought the Thunder could improve from a 40-42 record to the current 56-25 record in the 2023-24 regular season. That's an improvement of +16 games in the win column and -17 game improvement in the lost column with one regular season game remaining.

warreng88 predicted a 50-32 record.

TBD - Playoffs, Oklahoma City will be home on Sunday, April 21, 2024 against an opponent in the play-in tournament--stay tuned for information on opponent, time and TV network.

Absolutely insane that this team is the #1 seed at their age. The playoffs will be a huge test, including the 1st round, but it's already a pretty crazy accomplishment. OKC is so spoiled.
