Are the OKC Thunder As dominant as the Old Golden State Warriors?

1. Love the show I’m locked on THUNDER great job

2. ⚡⚡⚡ THUNDER UP ⚡⚡⚡ LOCKED ON THUNDER

3. I'm all in on this team I want a piece of Luka and Mavs

4. Definitely in the playoffs i was screaming why they kept passing up 3s, all of em was scared to death, even chet kept getting blocked on 3s which should be impossible to do.

5. ALEX IS THE HAIRLESS DOGG

6. To answer the title question; not yet but they are even still building. More picks coming and topic next year and most everyone is locked up on their contracts. Resigning Caruso will be easy. Sign up on everyone ahead of the cap raises and it could work out that you get to keep most of what you have and keep some flexibility

7. Relax on the title lol
   We have not even begun to earn that question.

8. This is a question that can only be asked after the first ring. Until then it’s not close

9. I had a -14.5 bet, it was 3x odds . The 5 guard lineup in the 4th saved it

10. Well I watched them play like shit against the bulls who were even worse and win in a fairly close game, then I saw the below mediocre Atlanta Hawks play with them for 3 1/2 quarters. The only way you’re gonna know if they’re an all-time great team or not is let them play 50 or 60 games and see where they stand. If they get up for all the big games then there’s a possibility they could come close to 70 but if they play like they did against the Hawks and Bulls against one of the better teams they’re gonna get smoked.

    And there’s always a possibility they’re going to lose one of their big stars to injury because nobody plays for season after season without injuries. This team without chat or without SGA is going to impress anyone.

11. This question is too regular season focused. Dominating like the GSW? That's a long way off three games into this season. The Malone/Stockton Jazz were "dominant." But they can't be compared to any championship team. The Warriors are sports legend, one step beyond. We'll see about Okc.

12. Oh boy. lol Rylan you do realize that the warriors “at their best” means a team with Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala in their primes right?!?! We’ve all had bad basketball takes but you really should find another hill to die on bc this one ain’t it brother.

13. Trey Young had 10 turnovers. 10! That lock down on ball Cason put on him in the 4th quarter probably had Young dialing 911!
    Caruso is a one man wrecking crew. He's even got Oes talking!

    The question about Shai being better? Oh yeh, and it's not just the 3pt shot. That defense is nasty! I didn't know Shai could smile this much!

    I'm all in. This team is special and when we get Hartenstein back, we'll be even better.

14. Need to win championships first. The season is early. Dont be a clown

15. Imagine if the shooting sharpen up for Okc

16. Can we get a better host of Locked on Thunder please? This is the most unentertaining host ever.

17. Bro. Caruso plays like 20 minutes a night. He's a good defender. He brings nothing offensively. I mean nothing. Zero zip zilch. Good thing is we don't need him offensively that's the difference we needed another defender, not another offensive player

18. Watching JDub & Shai on fast breaks is like watching two elite NFL RBs. They are faster, stronger & more savvy than you. It's our 'Thunder & Lightning'.

19. 🌩️🥶🔸🌩️🔸🥶🌩️
    THUNDER🆙

20. I love how we can have the traditional 4 starters and easily insert another player from the bench without a drop off in production. Plus we can go big against teams like the lakers and t-wolves when I-hart gets healthy and we can play small ball against smaller faster teams or against teams that don’t have a scoring threat at the 5

21. Having this 3rd game in 4 nights was definitely an early hurdle. You could tell that a couple of guys were gassed more as this game began (like Chet ferinstance). But even with some tired legs Chet kicked serious tail defensively and made a few J's. This was an excellent first few games for OKC. The shooting will follow as we get our sea-legs.

22. They still have room to grow in all honesty. Shai and JDub especially can be more efficient. JDub is in a slump believe it or not. I expect him to get it together soon and splash those threes. If Chet can keep his legs he looks like an all star lock playing at the level he’s showing. He’s been nuts. Caruso hasn’t found his rhythm on the offense yet. Rebounding will be better with IHart. Wiggs looks like a starter and he will come off the bench most nights. Joe and Cason have more to give offensively.
    The list goes on… they have to figure out some thing ls on offense still, but with the capability they have to defend at a high level throughout a game it isn’t out of the realm of possibility to start thinking historical dominance is in store for this year’s thunder squad.

23. I'm with ya Rylan! You may be understating their great start still… just saying

24. In a different way but yes, they are just as good. We are watching one of the greatest teams in NBA history.

25. I want ous to play with some dog in him. He has all the tools, talent, and opportunity. If he doesn’t make it it’s on him.

26. 3 games and no rings? What are you about 10 years away? 😂

27. 18:58 comparing chet to a leprechaun may be your craziest comparison yet

28. It’s not silly. We are going to have a historic season! Thunder up!

29. We we at Paycom last night. and this is what I said to my son, that they look like the 70 win warriors. You think you can keep it close then they would go into a 20-0 barrage. I wasn’t paying attention at the score during that rally the ln lookes up at the score board and was like ohh they are already up by 20?
