I just can’t believe how many times I’ve seen people assert that OKLAHOMA CITY is the league’s chosen team. You know, the team that did not even get a Christmas Day game despite being the 1 seed the prior year.

A lot of people talking about the OKC 2 big lineup not working… they were -1 in ~10 minutes with iHart and Chet together today. Double big lineup was not really the problem. Honestly they could’ve used even more of it, as they didn’t go to it when Shai was off as they had been.

Alex Caruso and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have shared the floor for 1071 non-garbage time possessions this season. OKC’s net rating over that sample: +22.7. When you add just one of Hartenstein (+26.7) or Chet (+36.2) it goes even higher lol.

OKC shot 76% at the rim yesterday. Denver shot 54.8%. That’s the game right there. It’s really quite damaging to your team to have a center who can’t protect the rim!

OKC continued their dominance against elite teams today. Their net rating against fellow top 10 netrtg teams is +12.0. This is not only far & away best in the NBA this season, it’s easily the best in the Cleaning The Glass database (goes to ‘03-04). 2nd best is 15-16 GSW at +9.5.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging the fewest turnovers per game (2.5) of anyone in NBA history who has scored 32 or more points per game. Only Michael Jordan (and Shai last year) have ever scored even 30ppg with 2.5 or fewer TOV per game.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander without his team’s 3 best players (JDub, Chet, iHart) this season: +29.9 net rating, 997 possessions
Nikola Jokic without his team’s 3 best players (Murray, MPJ, Gordon) this season: +4.7 net rating, 267 possessions

Almost everyone in OKC’s rotation is shooting more 3s than they did last season. The most significant increases in 3PA/36:
Shai: 3.8->6.1
Aaron Wiggins: 3.7->6.5
J Dub: 3.9->5.4
Joe: 8.8->10.4
Shai: 3.8->6.1

Aaron Wiggins works so well together with Isaiah Hartenstein. Their games are just meant to fit together. Lineups that include Aaron Wiggins and Hartenstein on the court WITHOUT Shai have a +15.6 net rating in 300+ possessions. They need to play together even more than they have been.

If OKC plays only .500 basketball for the rest of the season, they would equal their win total of 57 from last year which put them number 1 in the West.

Shai with none of Chet, Hartenstein, or J Dub on the floor has a +27.4 net rating over 700+ possessions per CTG. Just preposterous stuff. You want to try to tell me he has some transcendent supporting cast with those dudes off the floor? He is the MVP man, just is.

Just rewatched the game last night and I’m pretty shocked to say that I think OKC’s offensive process, outside of a few forced Shai pull-up 3s, was mostly decent? They had several unforced uncharacteristic turnovers, but mostly the shots they generated were their usual shots.

OKC is getting legit hammered at the rim and zero calls, but still up 13. Could easily be 20 if a few of the really obvious plays got called.

OKC missed 10 free throws tonight. The last time they missed more than 10 free throws in a game was April 1, 2022. This was the starting lineup in that game.

Really think OKC is going to hammer GSW by double digits tonight. They never got revenge after the Draymond comments, and those dudes were prancing around OKC’s home court a couple weeks ago after Chet got injured. Warriors were good earlier w/o Curry, but the Buddy Hield magic is over.

I know they played pretty well earlier in the season without Steph, but I’m pretty surprised GSW is only +4.5 tonight against OKC without Steph. Buddy Hield has come back to earth, so pretty hard to figure where their offense will be coming from.
