Latest news and updates about the Thunder
In an effort to calm my nerves before the game on Friday, I went to an art museum. I wasn’t sure what I was looking for other than a distraction. Anything to stop myself from listening to one more increasingly obscure basketball podcast. The exhibit on display was titled “International Surrealism: 50 Years of Dreams,” […]
After an awesome start, this game was about as enjoyable as having all of one’s teeth pulled. It is important to remember that we’re effectively back to being “on serve,” in the sense that the series is exactly where it would be had homecourt held for everyone. Even so, the vibes aren’t great, and San […]
The good guys hoped to open their home game in the Western Conference Finals with a win, but alas victory eluded them. Victor Wembanyama led the team with 26 points while Devin Vassell poured in 20 points along with 7 rebounds and 4 steals. De’Aaron Fox was a sight for sore eyes, although after the […]
Duke fans knew that Philadelphia made a mistake letting Jared McCain go, but Oklahoma City was glad to snatch him up, and on Friday, that decision paid off big time for the Thunder. McCain scored 24 off the bench, outscoring San Antonio’s bench by himself, 24-18, pacing OKC to a 123-108 win. It was much […]
The fiesta party lasted just five minutes inside the Frost Bank Center on Friday night. For the few minutes of Game 3, it felt like the San Antonio Spurs were going to take full control of the Western Conference Finals. Then, the offense vanished just as quickly as it appeared. After racing out to a […]
Things felt great coming into the game: the Spurs had their full roster available, they did what they needed to do in OKC by stealing a win, and they had appeared a healthy guard trio away from a big win. While they got their wish in that regard, outside of an insanely hot start in […]
Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren was considered a top-two defender in the NBA. He only trailed San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, the 2025-26 Defensive Player of the Year, for the most total votes by 10, 200-190. The pair of ‘cream of the crop’ shot blockers are going head-to-head in the Western Conference Finals […]

At times this season, the dynamic between Jarred Vanderbilt and Lakers head coach JJ Redick was rocky, in obvious and subtle ways. It was never more apparent than their very vocal argument in a late regular-season loss against the Thunder. Redick called a timeout in the second quarter to take Vando out of the game, […]
We anticipated an epic clash of titans before the Western Conference Finals even began, and we’re getting it after two intense battles in OKC between the Spurs and Thunder. Mark Daigneault made some impressive moves to change things up in Game 2 after the Spurs stole Game 1, and now the series comes to San […]
Through two games, the Western Conference Finals could not be any more evenly matched. The Thunder have outscored the Spurs by a mere two points, with both contests coming down to the wire. OKC made smart adjustments in Game 2, and now the onus is on Mitch Johnson and the Spurs to counter. Ultimately, this […]
I am obsessed with the historical occurrence of the fad. Fad is a word that sounds contemporary but is actually much older, having been coined back in the 1830s as a probable variation of the French word ‘fadaise’ (meaning a trifle and/or nonsense), which was ultimately derived from the Latin ‘fatuus’, which is basically another […]
Even with injuries to key players, the San Antonio Spurs have to feel good about themselves coming into tonight’s Game 3. They were able to steal Game 1 from the defending champs, a double OT classic that saw the Spurs eventually out-execute the Thunder down the stretch, and were tantalizingly close to coming back home […]
After exiting Game 2 early in the second half following an awkward fall, Spurs rookie guard Dylan Harper is listed as questionable for Game 3 in San Antonio with a sore adductor. The play occurred when he collided with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander while going for a lay-up and came down awkwardly on his leg. While obviously […]

It was a pleasant surprise to the Lakers that Austin Reaves was able to return earlier than expected from his oblique strain. Thanks to his efforts to get back, Reaves helped the Lakers eliminate the Rockets and then played in the second round against the Thunder. We don’t have all the details on how hard […]
Coming off a dramatic double overtime win in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs looked to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the series in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night. De’Aaron Fox missed his second straight game with a high ankle sprain, so the Spurs were once again without one of their […]
The serious basketball heads I know are ecstatic. The NBA Conference Finals have delivered three thrillers so far. Last night in the West, SGA and the Thunder tied their series with another slugfest against Wemby and the Spurs. On Tuesday, throughout most of their Game One, the Knicks looked rusty while the Cavaliers rode the […]
As of now, the Houston Rockets do not own a first-round pick in the much anticipated 2026 NBA Draft. That asset was sent to the Oklahoma City Thunder as part of the ill-fated 2019 trade involving Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook. The Rockets do, however, possess a significant amount of future draft capital. If Houston […] The post Would the Rockets consider trading into the 2026 NBA Draft? appeared first on ClutchFans .
Arguably the biggest story in sports in recent days came in the NBA. On Monday night, the San Antonio Spurs beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. A large reason — literally and figuratively — for the victory was San Antonio’s star Victor Wembanyama. The man known “Wemby” scored […]
Honestly, the fact that San Antonio lost ranks fourth or fifth on my list of most troubling facts about last night’s game. By far the most serious issue is Dylan Harper’s injury, as he has been absolutely essential in this playoff run and clearly the second-best Spur in the series so far. The second most […]
