One thing Will Hardy talked about after the loss to OKC is secondary defenders fouling by getting hands caught in or just behind behind a play. Young players just need more time and more reps and to remember their job and how to use their body when they’re helping.

Chet Holmgren is in the 80th percentile as a cutter (1.4 points per possession) his decisive cut there shows why it’s such a threat. Cutting behind the action you have to foul or give up an easy bucket. He can kill you so many ways it’s hard to even have a pick up point for him. – 9:44 PM

The crowd just erupted with cheers. Not sure if it was because they showed the West standings and OKC was in 1st place or because they played FE!N – 7:54 PM

Thunder clinch a play-in spot with a win tonight.
I know the team has much bigger goals this season, but making the play-in last year was a big deal. Points back to how much OKC has improved in one year. – 7:01 PM

The Thunder are on the door step of 50 wins again, with the Jazz in town it’s a good reminder of the last time they were on a 50 win pace:

Although no Giannis takes some of the steam off it, this is a matchup tonight of two of the top four offenses in league history.

Thunder vs Jazz playing in OKC in mid-March is a reminder of the last Thunder playoff team.
That Chris Paul-led team bridged the gap between two Thunder eras.

A year ago people were saying Walker Kessler was on the same level than Rudy Gobert, now the gulf between the two season HUGE. – 12:30 PM

Jalen Williams on how much they pay attention to the standings: “I’m not aware at all. I don’t think that’s something we bring up. I think it’s more just winning the games. I think that really resolves a lot of the tiebreaker stuff.” – 12:22 PM
