Luguentz Dort

This Thunder season is a significant success, but this core's first postseason together generated questions about the future.

After nearly winning Game 1, the Pelicans imploded in Game 2 against the Thunder. Now, this season — and possibly this era — is in jeopardy.

For all the talk of the Thunder’s youth and playoff inexperience, they showcased elite stubbornness in two second-half stretches.

In a game the short-handed Pelicans almost stole from the top-seeded Thunder, the struggles of their remaining star loomed large.

“We can shift him anywhere,” Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. “He can guard any player. There’s no one he can’t guard.”

The Thunder are breeding fearlessness. They never think they are out of a game, which means they'll never think they're out of a series.

“There (are) no soft players here,” Canadian coach Jordi Fernández said. “I’m pretty sure they’ll make sure everybody sees that.”

The ability of Oklahoma City's guard to slow the NBA's top scorers has helped the Thunder stay in the mix for the playoffs.

George had 18 points, seven rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes played. The Thunder beat the Clippers 101-100.

Dort averaged career highs of 17.2 points and 4.2 rebounds per game last season, his third with Oklahoma City.

Canada's Olympic qualifiers take place this summer in Victoria, B.C., but who is available and who makes the team are big questions.

'I really wanted to kinda put Montreal on the map a little bit, just to make people realize we have talent in Montreal,' Chris Boucher said.

Why does a cheese brand regularly tweet in all caps about Thunder guard Lu Dort? The answer to that and so much more.

The Thunder need Luguentz Dort on defense to help slow James Harden, but the Thunder wing been a big liability on the offensive end.

Houston is setting more ballscreens in an effort to free its All-Star from the tenacious Oklahoma City defender.
