Oklahoma City Thunder: back to back champs doesn’t that sound nice? Now they won’t contend for the best record of all time, sorry to the fans that were celebrating that notion when the squad was 24-1–but this Thunder team is dangerous. The Thunder currently sit at No. 1 in the west, and have been in the driver seat to repeat as champions all season. Highlighted by a magnificent hopeful back- to-back MVP season from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and an All-star campaign from Chet Holmgren, this team feels like they can replicate last year’s championship team.
Not only are they the best team in the Western Conference, they are doing this with a limp. Jalen “JDub” Williams has missed 38 of the 64 games that the Thunder have played; that’s All-star production missing half of the season.
