 Guys I am I want to let you in to how my brain works lately when we've been picking our parlays this team is the team I looked you first because they're on something right now the Oklahoma City Thunder Let's take a look at the final seconds of their game against the Nuggets Giddy has to get it in Shay flashes catches Gordon on a little flyby and Shay banks it home to regain the lead for OKC Ball isn't mad at Murray Shock block is off Dorth the defender Murray pulls it back behind the three-point line Murray makes his move Stops, fades for the tie and is shot And OKC with the defensive stop to pull out the victory Don't look now SGA with go ahead bucket nine point two seconds left leading his team over Denver Of course no Yoke it's no Porter junior, but OKC has won seven of their last 10 They're only a game under 500 currently tied for 10th in the West We all thought for sure they're gonna tank again like that's sort of what they do right But at this point I ask you Eddie could this be a playoff team Not only could it be I think it's gonna be there they play hard They play defense their coached up and Shay is an all-star and no doubt about it He's he's one of the best young guards in the league Josh Giddy has come along Their future is bright out there even if they're not tanking and this kind of gives them a luxury to do that They have a number one overall type pick talent coming back onto their team next year with Chad Holmgren This is a nice team and shout out to Lou Dort for that defense on that last clip on Jamal Murray This is why you give Lou Dort the money you give them for those type of possessions We've seen him be a difference maker in the playoffs before I want to see them in a series They're gonna be a tough out for the Grizzlies the Nuggets who they just beat or whomever Maybe at the top of the standings is a good young team and I'm ready to see them on that stage again Chandler you agree? What are you seeing? I do I love this team and again the whole tanking thing to get Victor They have their version of Victor right there on the bench that's been in their system That's working out that's getting stronger that's getting healthier every single day And for a guy like Chet to come back to these two guards with Josh Giddy and SGA who are absolute studs I love what they're doing and like Eddie said I would love to see this team in a playoff series Because it is not an easy out SGA is an absolute stud Lou Dort that defense there at the end that just kind of shows you his value what he does while he can still make shots And just their future is so bright going forward that yeah I think tanking is in the rear view mirror and this is a team with a promising future who I like the setup of their future Probably more than any other team in the NBA right now and when they're good at that place is rockin And it's the hardest place to play in so they have a lot of great things going for them And those two kids and SGA and Giddy they're special And to have the guards like that where one can go get a bucket and one is a playmaker solid point guard I love it I love their future and I would love to see them in the playoffs Five and one in the last six games and like these guys said they're right there on the brink of the play in the playoffs And I don't know if anyone in Oklahoma City anyone around league expected that But you know when you look at the way Josh Giddy and Shay Gildes I was in or have led this team The long-term question is can these two guys how are they how are these two guys going to play off of each other How they're going to succeed we saw last night Giddy set up SGA for the score and then just great defense by Lou Dort The team building to me you have to give them praise for Josh Giddy SGA Lou Dort at the head of the snake Chet Holmgren's kind of waiting in the wings but then they draft a kid named Jalen Williams They have Jeremiah Robinson Earl Kenrich Williams he was on the court right there on those last two possessions They can trade him today for a first round pick but they've held on to him They signed to a long-term deal and just the vision to sign him initially on a deal and then now for the long-term Those are the types of guys you want to build with and when this team wins big Kenrich Williams is going to be a big part of it Guys I have to ask and look look into your crystal balls SGA is averaging just under 31 a game Do you see him as the number one option at some point on a contending team Eddie Maybe not number one. It's strong. It's hard to be I mean he's a little taller than these other guards in his class But it's hard to be that slight and be the number one guy but I think he's a John Morant type talent And John is the number one on a contended team so it is possible and as his jumper has gotten better as his career has gone on He's become an absolute all-star like a star player in this league and it's exciting to watch him and shout out to Shay When he had the game winning shot in Miami he did the side step three and I hate the side step three with the game on the line Getting back to the midi it's another game winner there you go like long live the midi bring the midi back into this league please But yeah when you compare him to John when you compare him to Trey who's played in the conference finals Yeah, I think so Yeah when you're 24 years old you're averaging 31 5 and 5 and you are the only kind of scoring option on this team and the whole defense is set to kind of maintain you and hold you And you still can't do it. Yeah, I think this kid is an absolute star. I think his future is bright I think you add some other talent around the team some vet leadership for this young core I think this team could be very very special in the next two three four years And I think he is a number one option on this team going forward and they are gonna make some noise Looks like it was all worth it you guys it was all worth it in the long run knew what they were doing Up next Sean's will have the latest on Yanis and the Wizards are shopping around a former lottery pick All of that when run it back returns
