Thunder Moneyball Podcast

Go watch Dave on FX and Hulu. You're welcome. The Rockets have now lost 4 in a row since we declared them unbeatable. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving got a coach fired before ever even playing a minute together. And a huge rematch against the Celtics without SGA looms ahead. (We made some predictions about that game and a few of them were correct!) Plus, the final week of the Fantasy regular se...

The Thunder lost by 47 points to the Bucks on Friday. So we decided to not talk much about that and instead look ahead to the playoffs. Matchups we'd like to see, what we don't want to see, and what Vegas thinks Rookie of the Year. Plus the usual fantasy league update!

Two HUGE wins coming out of the All-Star break is a great sign for the Thunder. Lu Dort's perfect game is an even better sign. But the best sign of all? The Clippers are 0-3 in the Reggie Jackson era. You hate to see it. Meanwhile, the Rockets may have unlocked the best version of Russell Westbrook that has ever been. And the Mavericks want to change the history of the NBA but in a bad way. P...

The NBA season is already past the midway point. Listen in as we check in on the Thunder to see where the team is at: who is the mid-season MVP and who should represent OKC in the All-Star game? Plus discussion about the All-Star game at large. And don't miss out to hear all three of us incorrectly predict the results of the OKC/Houston game on MLK Day!

After spending 11 electric seasons playing in Chesapeake Energy Arena for his home games, Russell Westbrook made his return to The Peake for the first time as a visitor. Kevin Durant was probably watching while he bickered with Kendrick Perkins on Twitter. It was quite an evening of basketball related feelings for OKC. Then came the Lakers two days later. Oof.

The Thunder are on a five game win streak, Kevin Love does not want to play for Cleveland anymore, and Russell Westbrook will face the Thunder for the first time back in Chesapeake Energy Arena. It's an eventful beginning to the new decade!
