Last year I watched about 70 OKC games cause I love Chet. Promoted them to my #1 team over Atlanta.

I suggest y'all jump on the bandwagon cause this team is not only really good, but really fun to watch and full of likeable players.

Last night they trounced Denver in Denver and Chet made Jokic his bitch. Chet's statline: 25 pts (11-18 shooting), 14 boards, 5 assits, 4 blocks, 2 steals.


SGA had his usual MVP calibur performance as well.


Next up is a visit to Chicago Saturday night.

Gave up on Trae. SAD!

didn't give up on his, but lowered his team 1 slot on the depth chart in response to them spinning their wheels the last couple years. Now that they've traded DeJontae Murray and drafted the french kid #1 they've peaked my interest again. So I have a team in the east and a team in the west. But the team in the west has a real shot of winning, the team in the east is hoping for a 6 seed.


Sunday they play each other in a game many are dubbing the battle for Shakes' affection.

He did not, but I do believe OKC is the best team in the league this year.

Chet dominated him. In one sequence he blocked Joker's shot and then on the other end drove by him from the free throw line for a massive throw down dunk.

Box scores numbers also show Chet dominance.


And this was with both of OKC's back up centers in street clothes.

this tweet says differently.

The box score indicates a dominance.

No team winning shite with a Canadian as their best player. Guys like Wiggins, Murray, Wennington need a Curry or Jokic or Pippen to win a title. Same for Shea. Or Shay. Shai? I dunno. That's why Nash never won it all. And Steve Nash was only Canadian by choice.

Westbrook leading Nuggets to the title this year, bouncing Thunder and KD's Suns along the way.

Clearly shakes don’t even watch the games

No Jamal, no Gordon, no problem. Chet was Jokic's bitch all the same.

Chet out at least 8 weeks after fracturing his pelvis last night. Mods, please lock this thread till me and Chet come back in 2.5 months, thanks.


NBA is dead to me for now. College much better and half the good players aren't out injured.

I don’t know how a human can exist with that build.

Hopefully he spends his downtime learning how to eat solid food and come back a little less skeletal.

definitely hard to exist playing the way he does. He plays hard and very physical and jumps to challenge every shot with both hands. Was only a matter of time before he had a hard awkward fall.

He did gain a bunch of weight last two off seasons, but him gaining 10-15 pounds of muscle the last two offseasons still hasn't made much of a dent in the look of his frame.

If he played a softer game he would be a lot less injury prone, but that would also ruin his effectiveness.
