It’s true, but because Greenberg said it, I’m inclined to disagree.
Look means nothing until they prove it in the playoffs. We know they are an elite regular season team
Stats aren’t the end all be all, but their net rating is historically crazy good.
Nothing’s guaranteed until you “do the thing,” but the West is such a mess, they might be this season’s version of last year’s Celtics.
why does that look like Max Kellerman from the future
Damn, who knew I was watching history being made this season so far
“Get used to this. Now and into the future.”
Ok. I will.
*stares with love at Sam Presti*
I can’t wait to become a thunder fan at the end of the month
Honestly does get kinda insane how many 20+ leads they get so early in games it srems. Just domination. Yea there are so many bad teams this era who are tanking but okcs domination is still all time
I’m rooting for them to win 70 games
The fact that they are 29-1 against the eastern conference shows how dominant they truly are
They might or might not win the chip this year but they have been dominant. The frontcourt of Chet and IHart have been wrecking havoc
But has he considered that they aren’t the Lakers?
All right, I’m gonna need people to stop talking like this
Playoffs got me nervous
I won’t be shocked if the Finals are the Thunder vs Cavs
People over think things and fall back to what they know – which is why so many assume it’ll be the Lakers and Celtics
But the Lakers and Celtics have their flaws too
For the Lakers – LBJ is the GOAT but he is old and has not been playing great since coming back from injury. Outside of LBJ and Luka, the roster isn’t great. Lakers fans love to crow when their team wins, but quick dismiss losses as “nothing to see here!” . I’ll take any of the younger , deeper, athletic teams in the west over a playoff series over the Lakers.
For the Celtics – if they hit their 3s, good, if not, they’re in big trouble. KP is fragile, if he goes down, so will they.
The Thunder and Cavs have their flaws as well, but they’ve both been consistently good all season long yet people keep coming up with BS reasons why that doesn’t matter.
It really is kind of crazy to think anyone can beat them lol. It’s going to be funny seeing them win or lose. If they win it’s going to be hilarious that some of us thought they could lose, but if they lose it’s going to be funny since they should’ve won lmao.
The fact that they did this with Holmgren out for most of the season is scary
Let’s say someone jumps the Sixers and the Thunder get the pick. Could they just offer like 8 FRPs to move up for Flagg? Can a team be overwhelmed enough to move from that spot? Mom, I’m scared
The true process complete. Sorry sixers
Not even 24 hours since Zach Lowe called out the media for not talking about them
Kinda insane. As someone old enough to have seen those royal teams mentioned… it’s wild how little people are talking about the Thunder. When those teams were rocking, especially the Bulls in 95, they were like rockstars. There was Beatles level Bulls-mania. I don’t even think most non NBA fans know Oklahoma has a basketball team outside of Norman.
I got clowned on for saying that this is the most dominant team I’ve seen since the 73-9 warriors. It feels like every time I watch them they can just automatically turn a close game into a blowout
We have the third greatest winning percentage of all time. Only the 96 bulls and 16 warriors are ahead of us.
Greatest net rating and point differential in history.
Most wins against an opposing conference.
Hot take, but if we had Chet, Caruso and I-hart from the start there are only two games I’m certain we’d lose all season. Maybe three. Denver, Timberwolves and maybe Cleveland. That’s it.
I honestly see them winning it all this year. They’re truly a beautiful team to watch
This is the kind of NBA coverage we need more of. Good on Greeny.
We should spend less time focusing on SGA for MVP and more on how Thunder are a great team with absolutely amazing defense.
Cavs in 6
We hear this every season. It was the Warriors, then the Rockets, then the Celtics, etc etc etc
This is nuts. They still have the youngest team in the league with the most amount of picks.
My brain can’t comprehend how far ahead the Thunder are organizationally compared to everyone else.
“Since the merger” is one of my favorite basketball phrases. 99% of the time it’s actually code for “besides Wilt Chamberlain, because his records don’t even make sense”.
mark daigneault doesn’t get enough credit.
This is what a tank build looks like when Adam Silver doesn’t meddle in your front office.
Makes me sad that the cavs only have 3 less wins, and are 1-1 vs the thunder and everyone is just penciling in Boston vs OKC.
Considering that they had a season like this without chet for 2/3rds of the year makes it even more impressive.
I haven’t checked but I think they’ve had a fully healthy line up for only 12-15 games.
2015-16 Warriors went 72-9 so the Thunder would have to win out to tie that record . Not best by a long shot
No once cared about regular season. I mean. No one. They need to win it or it’s worthless. Remember. 73-9 and they lied.
People will still tell you to your face SGA isn’t MVP after leading a team to a historically great season that was largely played with injuries to key guys lmao
And, yet, how much are they or the Cavs talked about by ESPN?
These are the type of stories NBA analysts should be telling. Even as a Cavs fan, what OKC is doing is incredible. And numbers back it up
“And what does that have to do with the New York jets? Coming up after the break.”
