The NBA Has An 'OKC Thunder' Problem...

Through 3 preseason games the OKC Thunder have somehow exceeded expectations, making it very clear that they are a Tier 1 contender.

The Thunder adding Hartenstein was bigger than ppl think. Chet finally doesn't have to bang all game with bigger guys and has someone to help rebound. And Hartenstein does all the little things too like hustle, great screener and just a great teammate

I became an OKC fan in 2012. KD was my favorite player. When Harden got traded, I was pissed. When KD left, I was depressed. When Russ and PG got traded, I couldn’t fathom a rebuild, but I stuck with my team. That is probably the best decision I have ever made because this team reminds me so much of 2012 but this time we are much better💪🏽

Top 3 O and D is legit insane. Been watching Thunder since season 1 and the last 4 years has been one wild ride on top of an amazing journey. Love this team with all my heart and really hope to see us in the finals this year.

As an OKC fan I am SO hyped for this season

Hey now, shai had some seasons with Steven Adams, that boy can set a mf pick

[kenokoroafor]

I love the Thunder content Hoop Venue!

Still having draft picks with a team like this feels criminal, can’t wait to see where everyone branches out to in 5-10 years

[Warlockhound]

you didn't mention how Hartenstein can guard big men who are too strong for chet

[HoopEnthusiasts]

For me it’s either the Thunder or Nuggets coming out the west, the thunder have the best floor in the league after the Celtics, elite defense and two good creators

[jacobcrofford]

Shai JDub Caruso/dort/wallace Chet Hartenstein closing lineup is absolutely diabolical. With Chet playing as a taller KD. I’d bet my house on a chip in the next 2 years

[joevonloser]

Even when they finally bring my Sonics just have 2 teams

[lilrabies]

People don’t understand that our bench is also very good, just because they are not known dosent mean they ass, Wallace is an amazing defender as well as a shooter, Aaron wiggins is like lebron if he was a 79 overall, Joe is an ELITE SHOOTER, and probably dort or hartenstein who will come off the bench some games

SGA may not average the numbers he did last year, but also because he is surrounded by really good stars now too. Caruso is a great defender and also scorer, and holy shit Hartenstein. All they needed was a rebounder and defense and they got just that.
And they still have a shot at cooper flagg. Its insane. I love the thunder.

My favorite part is the fact that we still have all of our draft picks. Say worst case scenario we’re underperforming because we’re lacking in a certain position, now think of all of the struggling teams who would be more than happy to part with a top tier level role player for a few 1sts. We could do that and not have to even consider moving a pivotal chess piece

[TheDeven]

I legit think J Dub will be a 50-40-90 player

[jakesmith]

I've never heard a non native german say "Hartenstein" so clean... ma boy, DANKE !!!

[keags]

One of the best in depth videos I have seen on this team man. I liked the way you went through each player and transitioned through them. Excited for this year and earns yourself a new sub 👏🏼

[chippsdubbo]

Knicks fan here. God damn do I miss I Hart and we haven't even had a single regular season game yet.

As a Thunder fan I love watching Thunder glaze :).

Shais jumper looks a lot more mature and his release point is higher now and fundamentally its smoother. Shai for mvp💯
