  • Fantastic for any OKC fan. Been a listener for the last 10 years from all the way down in NZ. Steven Adams started my OKC fandom but this podcast played a key role in making a long term connection to the team and city. You guys are awesome.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NOW WHAT? + Spooky Pod
Q: What is the bar for a successful season now?
The hosts set making the playoffs and winning a first-round series as reasonable goals. If key players return healthy, they believe another Western Conference Finals run is possible.
Path forward? Chet OUT 8-10 Weeks
Q: Why were you upset with the front office making financial decisions with Dort, but now make it seem like getting rid of Hart, J-Will, et cetera is OK?
Schlecht says his earlier frustration was that the Thunder avoided the second apron despite having a special team, while potential future trades would reflect the major salary decisions the team will have to make.
Path forward? Chet OUT 8-10 Weeks
Q: The Thunder have a pretty favorable schedule during November, December. If they get AC back soon, can they more than stay afloat while we wait on Chet?
Schlecht says the schedule has many winnable games, especially in December, and that Alex Caruso's return could help the Thunder stay competitive until Holmgren is back.
NOW WHAT? + Spooky Pod
Q: With all these injuries exposing OKC's lack of depth. At what point does Prestige have to seriously consider using some of those assets to strengthen the bottom of the roster? Or do you believe in getting everyone healthy solves the problem?
They say the Thunder have limited options because of their salary position, and adding a player may not solve the problem. They argue that the roster had depth before several key players were injured, and that recovery and patience are more important than rushing players back.
Are the Thunder STILL contenders?
Q: How good they are though?
Berra estimates the Thunder could finish with 48 to 52 wins and land in the top six in the West. Schlecht agrees that they can still be a good team if they maintain some health and make the most of their depth.
