Thunder are unbeatable when the bench plays like that...

The reigning champs are very hard to beat on any given night. When the bench eclipses 60 points, they're virtually unstoppable. Isaiah Joe (20 points), Alex Caruso (17 points) and newcomer Jared McCain (15 points) scoring 52 themselves, OKC cruised to a 13-point win over a Minnesota team that had been hot recently.Mar 15, 2026

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Is On A Tear

Ok, so the title is about as obvious as it gets. The MVP has gone 126 games in a row scoring at least 20 points. But not only is he consistent and just getting it done, he's breaking hearts in the process. The dude is beating the buzzer almost on a nightly basis at this point. Mar 11, 2026

How about the Detroit Pistons taking over the top spot in the NBA?

As the Pistons publisher, I could not be more excited about what's happening in Detroit. Just two years ago, the Pistons were chasing records that involved losses. Now, they have the best record in the NBA.  Granted, it's only by .005 percentage points over the Thunder, but it's still crazy to think about the turnaround in The D. Most people would probably still pick the Thunder to win it all, but it might not be a runaway at this point. So that's the question — are the Thunder still as dominant as they seemed to be earlier this year? They still have the top spot in the West, and when they were healthy they were pretty much unbeatable, so are they still once they're back at full strength?Feb 15, 2026

How much better are the Thunder with Jared McCain?

I don't think there's any doubt that the Thunder did get a little bit better by adding McCain to the roster. He's young, versatile on both ends of the court, can shoot and can obviously run the point when SGA goes to the bench. Before adding him, the Thunder didn't really have another point guard to facilitate the offense. McCain obviously isn't going to do what SGA does, and they're very different players, but if McCain can run the second unit without turning the ball over and knock down a few threes in the process, then yes, the best team in the NBA just got even better. It'll be interesting to see how it looks and if McCain can stay healthy, but on the surface this was a winning move for OKC. Feb 7, 2026

It's raining threes in Denver!!!

It looks like the Thunder are going to hang on to win the game as they're up 118-103 right now with just under four minutes to play, but what stands out about this one is the amount of threes going in. Both teams are filling it up from distance with the Thunder making 19 treys, and the Nuggets making 15. Cason Wallace got really hot during the third quarter and is up to a career high, 7 threes made. The game isn't over yet and they are still letting it fly. With that said, if the Thunder shoot threes like this even a couple times in a series, they will repeat. They might not even have to, but if they are shooting the ball like this, they're unbeatable. Feb 2, 2026
