It s mid to late in the regular season, how do you evaluate the current Thunder team?

If there was one word to describe the Thunder this season, I think nothing would be more tenacious. The Thunder sent away the team's Paul George last offseason, as well as Westbrook, to welcome Chris Paul.

When people thought the Thunder were going to be on the wrong side this season, the Thunder broke that doubt with their tough performance. It all started with Paul's arrival. In last season's playoffs, Paul was criticized for lacking enough confidence in scoring on the offensive end, and he always ended the offense with sideways three-pointers at critical moments.

When people began to discuss whether Paul's sky-high contract has become a garbage contract, Paul has given a heavy blow back this season. Paul has led the Thunder to a very good start with their current roster, and they are now sixth in the West. The whole team is also on track.

This result is somewhat surprising. After all, George and the sad departure made many people think that the Thunder would not have much development this season.

In fact, Paul was the man in charge of the team, leading a very good starting lineup with the young, Alexander, and seasoned Gallinari and Aquaman Adams and Schroder. Why are the Thunder so resilient? The latest data shows that Chris Paul ranks first among all players in the NBA in key points this season, which means that in the last 5 minutes of the game, the score difference is within 5 points, Chris Paul is unbeatable, and the scoring stability is very high.

This is also due to Paul's consistent mid-range jumper.

Paul worked hard every game to keep the team's offense organized, and because of this, the Thunder finished sixth in the West. From this year's All-Star Game, we can see the epitome of Paul's entire hot state this season, due to Lillard's business shortage, Paul played as a point guard in the James team, his three points and assists brought a lot of help to the James team, in the final decisive moment of the game Paul remained on the court, and in the end, the James team also achieved a reversal, defeated the Alphabet team, and won this year's All-Star Game. The most impressive thing about the Thunder team is the Thunder Three Less, but the Thunder Three Less are now going their separate ways, leaving behind a new Thunder team, and Paul is the one in control.

He led the under-favored Thunder team to set sail again.

The Thunder have been beyond imagination this season, and a team that should have been rebuilt has made it to the playoffs. And judging from the current state, they may be able to cause a big upset when they face the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs, of course, this is also a small probability event, after all, the Clippers are also one of the championship-winning teams in the league today, and they are not vegetarians with last season's FMVP. In short, the Thunder played an unexpected performance in the post-Willis era, and Paul also proved his worth in the Thunder, and being selected as an All-Star this year is the best.

I think the Thunder are still very strong, probably because of the injuries in the team, which has caused the Thunder to lose their combat effectiveness. Durant is still the main force in the Thunder team, and I feel that the Thunder team needs to play to their strengths in order to go further.

The Thunder have the current results, Paul has contributed a lot, average points per game, 5 rebounds, assists, under the leadership of Paul, the Thunder all the way from the top ten to the current sixth place in the West, I believe they can go further.

I feel that the Thunder really don't have any main force now, mainly because they don't have any All-Stars to drive, like Westbrook, these people are indeed a little old.

Now in the playoffs, the Thunder was originally a very optimistic team, but in recent years, the Thunder team has encountered a great embarrassment in the playoffs, and there is a certain reason for this.

The Thunder are a team with a high floor and a high ceiling:

1. The Thunder is a defense-based team, and most of the players have good physical fitness, especially in height, arm span and movement speed;

Second, the super high ability of Westbrook, the main core of the team, has laid the most basic powder of the team, which can be guaranteed, and the triple-double of the conventional operation is a concrete embodiment;

3. In addition to Wei Shao, the Thunder team also has another core, which was Durant before, and now Paul George, and their play basically ensures the overall level of the team;

But why is it that with these conditions, the Thunder are still struggling in the playoffs? I think there are the following reasons:

First, the defensive intensity of all teams in the playoffs has increased, and at the same time, it will not be like the regular season, but more targeted defensive strategies, so the defensive advantage of the Thunder team is not as obvious as before;

Second, the team's offensive tactics are too simple, for example, Wei Shao is mainly based on breakthroughs, shooting is not too stable, after the breakthrough, it is more to pass to Adams on the inside or Paul George on the outside, and the other core Paul George is more versatile, but it is still the main means of attacking outside the outside line;

Third, the projection ability of other role players is poor, and the highest shooting percentage of the entire team was Durant before, and now Paul George, which also limits the stability of offense and defense in space;

Today, the Thunder played against the Trail Blazers, won the game, and pulled the overall score to 1-2, although there is some hope, but it still needs to make a lot of adjustments to break through the first round.

In the game between the Thunder and the Grizzlies, the Thunder lost to the Grizzlies by 73 points. Because the Thunder did not have a core player, and the team was all young players, this loss was caused. We've been watching when James can surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time scoring, and there are a few more games to surpass Ray Allen in Curry's three-point shot, but we didn't expect the Grizzlies and Thunder game to inadvertently give us a moment to witness history, a record that is a shame for the Thunder.

This season, the Grizzlies relied on years of draft picks to establish a system led by Morant, although the talent list Morant did not play, but the team's chemistry is still there, and their current record is fourth in the West. The first time he had an impression of the Grizzlies was the big Gasol and the Lakers' deal, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and the Grizzlies have experienced a prosperous period of three superstars such as Gasol Jr., Randolph, and Conley, and then hibernate for many seasons. In the past two seasons, they have relied on the talent hoarded by the draft to get out of the quagmire of the bucket scale.

Although it is not a championship team, it is also a team that is terrified by all teams by the unanimous aerial auction.

This season's Thunder team is comparable to the level of the CBA. The impression of the Thunder team is also in '07. They drafted players such as Durant, Westbrook, and Harden, and they grew up with the Thunder, helping the team to become a championship-caliber team, and in a year or two they eliminated the mighty Lakers to advance to the Finals.

That was the highlight moment of the Thunder's three less, but everyone knows about the next season, James Harden was traded to the Rockets, and the three young were disbanded. Later, Durant left the Warriors, and the three top superstars dispersed.

I still remember the scene of the Thunder vs. Grizzlies in the playoffs, and they contributed a historic performance. In the end, seven games were played, and the Thunder won three less. I hope that the Thunder can perform well this season, and I hope that they can pick good players in the draft next year and revive the team as soon as possible.

In this game, the Thunder players were in very bad shape, repeatedly failed to shoot, did not execute the tactics of coach Ansan Xiaopai, and completely lost their fighting spirit when they were on the court, which caused the Thunder to create such a humiliating scoring comma.

The main players of the Thunder team were unable to play due to injuries, and the Grizzlies players all showed great courage on the court, so the Thunder Pure Thunder team quickly lost the game.

I think it's because the coach of the Thunder team didn't get the players to cooperate well and replaced the most powerful players at the same time.

The Grizzlies beat the Thunder to create the largest point difference in the NBA, and during the Thunder captain's game, there was a low-level foul error, and he must have lost.

He was eliminated by the Mavericks in the first round in '11, the Heat in the finals in '12, the Grizzlies in the second round in '13, and the Spurs in the second round in '14. Eliminated by the Warriors in the second round in '16.

In the 2011-2012 season, due to the shrinking season and only 66 games, the Thunder finished the regular season with 47 wins and 19 losses, and met the defending champion Dallas Mavericks again in the first round of the playoffs, and the Thunder swept the promotion with a total score of 4-0, and met the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals, and advanced to the Western Conference finals with a 4-1 victory. In the Western Conference finals against the San Antonio Spurs, the Thunder suffered two consecutive losses and won four consecutive games to eliminate the Spurs and advance to the Finals, which was also the second time to reach the Finals after the SuperSonics in 1996. However, in the finals, they met the Miami Heat led by LeBron James, and finally lost 1-4 to win the championship again.

I think the reason why the Rockets were able to complete a 15-point comeback in this game is that there are two role players that cannot be ignored. The reason why the Rockets were able to beat the Thunder in this game was that their three-point shooting played a big role, and the best performance was that the Rockets recruited two plug-and-play players. One of them was Matthews, who scored 14 points in the game, including seven three-pointers and four of them, and his only seven shots in the game, all three-pointers.

Aaron Brooks off the bench contributed 18 points, and his three-pointers were also 4-of-7, meaning that the two men combined to hit an eighth-level three-pointer and combined for 32 points.

In the Rockets vs Thunder NBA regular season, the Rockets defeated the Thunder 114-110, and they won four in a row. At this time, I believe that all the fans, all the fans and all the people who follow this game are focused on Tate, who played the best in this game, and his performance has far exceeded the expectations of the fans, and Tate can be said to be a fighter.

I have to say that in addition to Tate's excellent performance, the two giants of Matthews and Brooks are also things to watch for the Rockets, fans and **, after all, these two people's three-point shooting ability is very good. The two can help the Rockets open up a lot of space while enriching the head coach's tactics. I think the Rockets management, although they are known for being stingy, should also learn to repay the favor by at least giving Matthews and Brooks, two three-point sharpshooters, a reassuring pill, which is a very positive sign for their future development or for the Rockets' rebuild.

I hope their boss will be a little more generous this time, after all, these two players are role players, they won't open their mouths, and they don't need tens of millions of contracts to match them at all, a few million is enough. Rockets management should value these two players, and seeing him play well in the front gear gives me hope for the Rockets.

I think the main reason is that the team of the Rockets is very tacit, and they are very smart, and their passing is very regular.

In the process of the game, he had his own strategy, there were no mistakes, and he did not take the opponent lightly.

Through the team's ability to match the virtual combination, they finally defeated the other party, and everyone in this team worked very hard to fight for the chain clan strength, and the mental state at that time was also very good, so they could win.

I think the Rockets defeated the Thunder with their own strength, because the Rockets are a very good basketball team, and they are very good at playing basketball, and they are very hard at training, so I think the Fire Clever Arrows team defeated the Thunder with their own strength.

The Thunder sent away all the superstars on the team and completely entered the rebuild. The team has Paul as the core, plus several veterans and many young players, and has reached the playoffs without being favored, which shows that the foundation of the Thunder is not bad.

The Thunder is one of the strongest teams in the West, although they have lost Wei Shao this season, but there are Paul, Schroder, Alexander and other powerful players, they have played unusually united and selfless this season, and there are few injuries.

It can only be said that the Thunder are too lucky, and although the main team has been traded, the strength of the team has not declined.

Because Paul wants to increase his value and sell it again, Paul in the Thunder will only hinder the pace of the Thunder's rebuild, and the Thunder newcomers are very strong, the pressure is high, and Schroder and other players are averaging points per game.

11 year calf. '12 Finals Heat. 13 years Grizzlies, 14 years Spurs. 15 years without making the playoffs, 16 years Warriors.
