Should Chris Paul Return to OKC for One Last Run?

Now that the Clippers have moved on from Chris Paul, the question is simple: Should CP3 go back to the Thunder and chase a ring with SGA and that young OKC core? He already had a great stint there, the team is a contender, and they could use a veteran floor general in the playoffs. But he’s 40 — how much does he really have left? Would you bring Chris Paul back to OKC? #NBA #ChrisPaul #Thunder #OKC #SGA #NBATalk

The Thunder are now 20-1 — who’s stopping them?

OKC keeps rolling. The Thunder just picked up another win over the Blazers, pushing their record to 20-1, the best in the league by far. SGA dropped 26, Chet added 19 & 9, and the team looks completely locked in. Their only loss this season? Also to Portland — and they just got that one back. 20-1 is insane. Are we watching a legit 70-win contender? #NBA #Thunder #OKC #SGA #ChetHolmgren #NBATalk #Basketball

Thunder 19–1 🔥 SGA & Co. Hold on vs Suns, Extend Win Streak to 11

The Oklahoma City Thunder edged the Phoenix Suns 123–119 to grab their 11th straight win — improving to 19–1, the best record in the NBA. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered another clutch performance: 37 points, 8 assists, including 15 of the final 6 minutes as OKC survived a Suns rally. Chet Holmgren added 23 tough points. Meanwhile, Jalen Williams returned from injury and chipped in 11 points and 8 assists — not super flashy, but an important boost to depth. Phoenix pushed hard late — Collin Gillespie dropped 24, Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks combined for 40+ aggressive minutes — but the Thunder handled their turnovers and iced it at the line down the stretch. At this rate, OKC isn’t just riding a hot streak — they look like the team to beat. #Thunder #NBA #SGA #ChetHolmgren #JalenWilliams #Suns #WinStreak #Basketball #OKC

SGA just hit the highest EPM peak in NBA history

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has now reached a +10.9 EPM, the highest peak ever recorded — passing 2016 Steph Curry’s previous mark of +10.8. After dropping 40 on the Wolves last night, SGA even touched +11.0, pushing into completely uncharted territory. For context: 2016 Curry’s MVP season finished at +10.5 EPM His peak was +10.8 And remember — EPM only starts being tracked once 20% of the season has passed for statistical stability. Meaning this isn’t early-season noise. This is legitimately some of the best basketball an individual has ever played. #NBA #SGA #Thunder #OKC #AdvancedStats #Basketball #NBATalk #MVP #Curry

What Actually Makes SGA This Dominant on Offense?

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is putting up ridiculous numbers at insane efficiency night after night. At this rate, you really can’t help but ask: what exactly makes SGA this good offensively? His game just looks different — the pace, the footwork, the angles, the patience… whatever it is, defenders can’t stay in front of him. So here’s the real question: What separates him from other elite scorers? #NBA #SGA #Thunder #Basketball #NBATalk #OKC #MVP

The Thunder Are Now 18–1 After Their 10th Straight Win — Who’s Stopping Them?

The Oklahoma City Thunder just keep rolling. Behind another monster night from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, OKC beat the Timberwolves 113–105, extending their win streak to 10 games and improving to a ridiculous 18–1, still holding the best record in the league. SGA was unstoppable again: 40 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, outdueling Anthony Edwards down the stretch. Chet Holmgren and Hartenstein added key buckets late as OKC pulled away in the final minutes. For Minnesota, Edwards tried to keep them alive with 31 points, but the Wolves dropped their third straight loss. OKC is now the second team this season to hit a double-digit win streak — and by far the hottest team in the NBA. Simple question: who in the league can actually stop this Thunder team right now? #NBA #Thunder #SGA #ChetHolmgren #Timberwolves #NBANews #OKC

Is it time to seriously ask if the Thunder can break 73–9?

Shai has already sat out 11 fourth quarters this season — the 17–1 Thunder are ending games early so often that he barely even plays clutch minutes anymore. For comparison, Steph sat 19 fourth quarters during the Warriors’ historic 73–9 run back in 2016. If OKC keeps blowing teams out at this pace, the conversation isn’t crazy anymore: Is this the first team since the 73–9 Warriors with a real shot to break the all-time single-season wins record? #Thunder #SGA #NBATalk #Warriors #NBAHistory #OKC

SGA just delivered another 3-quarter masterclass

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander checked out after the third quarter tonight with another absurd line: 37 PTS, 5 REB, 7 AST, 2 STL on 13/18 FG, 2/3 3PT, 9/9 FT (84% TS). This game was basically over before the fourth even started — OKC blew out Portland 122–95, turning the final quarter into garbage time again. The Thunder have now made a habit of ending games early this season, and SGA continues to look like a top-tier MVP frontrunner. At 17–1, OKC just keeps rolling. A real question: has any team looked more dominant than them in the NBA history? #Thunder #SGA #NBA #MVP #OKC

Jalen Williams officially ineligible for postseason awards this year

Jalen Williams has now missed his 18th game of the season, which makes him ineligible for all postseason awards under the league’s 65-game rule. And the financial impact is massive. Williams — who is still recovering from offseason wrist-ligament surgery — signed a five-year, $241M rookie extension with OKC this offseason. That deal could have jumped to the $250M–$289M range if he made an All-NBA team. By missing the threshold, he essentially loses the chance at up to $48 million in bonuses tied to award eligibility. Tough break for a young star who was trending toward that level last season. #NBA #JalenWilliams #Thunder #OKC #NBANews #NBASalariesn

Is this the start of the first dynasty since the Warriors?

The Oklahoma City Thunder might genuinely be emerging as the league’s next dynasty. They have Shai — a legitimate top-2 player in today’s NBA — and arguably the deepest young roster in the league. On top of that, they’ll finish this season with more draft capital than anyone else. Tonight they blew out the Jazz 144–112, improving to 16–1 on the season. At this point, they look close to unstoppable. #NBA #Thunder #Dynasty #SGA #OKC
