And, you know, the Thunder are six and six in their last 12.

But I looked at the numbers and the craziest thing I found is that Shea Gills Alexander, since that Spurs game, he's gone from the fifth most fouled player in the NBA to the 31st.

most fouled player in the NBA.

His free throws are way down.

His ability to draw fouls has magically decreased substantially since peaking before then.

And J-Dub is the other thing.

He has not clicked in with this group the way they expected.

He was in my notes.

So between SGA sort of reduced free throw line activity and J-Dub's lack of sort of cohesion with this group,

Simply put, this isn't the juggernaut that I thought they were December 10th.

This is not the juggernaut that was, what, 24-1?

And I think it's good for the league.

I still think they're the favorite.

Don't get mad at me, Thunder fans.

But I think this is just like they've come back to earth a little bit.

Yeah, last night, I mean, the most head-scratching result of the year, in my opinion, they lose at home to the Hornets.

And it was, again, weird.

They get killed.

They could not make their perimeter shots.

They lose confidence.
