Lu Dort last year vs this year:
FG%: 38.8 -> 44.6
3PT%: 33.0 -> 40.6
FT%: 77.2 -> 82.0
TOV: 1.2 -> 0.9
Taking smarter shots and playing elite defense. Worth EVERY penny.
Needed to smack Chet in the face twice, paid the pelicans to injure Shai, and changed the rules of the game of basketball to win the game. It’s on sight next game
Once again, OKC manages to trade one of their guys to a spot that he can perennially thrive, while still bringing tremendous value to OKC.
Thank you, Sam
Carmelo Anthony on OKC: “It’s the best ran organization when it comes to understanding the needs of players..
To this day, me and Sam are like this 🤞. He wants what’s best for the player. And he really cares about what the f*** goes on.”

No Shai? No problem. That's a dub!
Y’all get mad when nba players never have anything to say to media, but then chop our quotes up to get reactions. I was saying the seats r empty until the 4th quarter when fans come back from the lounges after a few drinks and the atmosphere is great for close games. Its actually
Ousmane Dieng summer league stats:
15.3 ppg
7.3 reb
3.5 ast
1.3 stl
1.0 blk
56.8% fg (25/44)
43.7% 3pt (7/16)
Give Ous a grade for his summer league performance so far⏬
They tried to tell us that the difference between SGA and Hali on defense wasn’t enough to make up for how quickly Hali is catching up on offense😭😭😭 SGA is legitimately elite on that end of the floor and he pours in 30 every night on the other end😹
Chet Holmgren vs Victor Wembanyama first SL game comparison:
Points: 23 vs 9
Rebounds: 7 vs 8
Assists: 4 vs 3
Blocks: 6 vs 5
Steals: 1 vs 0
FG% 78 vs 15
3PT% 67 vs 17
Chet Holmgren is the best player in the NBA.
The improvement that Lu has shown as an offensive player is wild. Dude turned himself into a reliable outside shooter with some self creation chops to supplement his elite defense. Great development for an undrafted player.
Lu Dort midrange/close range jumper highlights
This is something that he was experimenting with a little bit in the second half of last season. It's been working for him so far. Hit some really big shots for us.
Looks like a brolic version of Jalen Brunson on some of these 😂
Isaiah Joe tonight:
12 points
3 assists
3 rebounds
4/4 3pt
1 ankle breaker leading to a made 3pt shot
Every time OKC needed a big shot, he was ready. Great game off the bench for the Sniper!
Big impact in the community, positive on and off the court, much improved defensive/shooting at the later end of last season.
I hope Lindy finds a new home soon♥️
People that hate Shai fit into one of these categories:
-he dropped their favorite team off and then posted a photo dump on ig with a caption flaming the opposing team
-they don’t watch the games
-Anthony Edwards fans
Shai is not the foul baiter everyone on this app claims him to be. After watching him up close in person on a his back to back I can confidently say he’s not a flopper.
PG - Tre Mann
SG - Lindy Waters III
SF - Davis Bertans
PF - Jeremiah Robinson-Earl
C - Aleksej Pokusevski
lmk who is gonna be able to stop this lineup in the west... we are finals bound.
I’m deadass not even worried about this game. Yes, it was frustrating to watch, but we missed 10,000 wide open 3s, and LA made every shot, yet we only lost by 9😭
We good, guys.
our bench is going to be so fun next season. people forget how impactful kenrich was before his injury last season. I can't wait to see these guys go off
