This week in Thunder talk
The shows spent the week raving about the Thunder's opening night dominance over the Spurs, particularly their suffocating defense that held Wembanyama to 1-of-13 shooting. The talk keeps coming back to OKC's depth and roster construction, with hosts impressed that the team looks strong despite offseason losses and injuries from last year. There's also been discussion about SGA's historic scoring streak ending and some questions about whether the Thunder's three-point shooting will be a concern going forward.
