The Thunder are frauds! That’s what r/nba and the talking heads are having you believe, and it’s not hard to see why following a 6-6 stretch. Still, the OKC discourse has swung too far in the opposite direction. Remember, they were only one of two teams (along with the 73-win Warriors) to ever start a […]

We are almost midway through the season, and tiers are starting to become more defined in the Western Conference. Despite looking relatively pedestrian since the Spurs helped bring them back down to earth from their record-tying start, the Thunder still have a pretty sizable (but not insurmountable) cushion between themselves and the rest of the […]

Let’s get this out of the way immediately: the Oklahoma City Thunder are still the best team in the league. However, it seems like other young, athletic teams — on the right night — have their number. Unfortunately for the Thunder, the second-best team in the West certainly applies to this rule. And it appears their quest for a 70-win season may be dead. Here are our latest power rankings. I’ve changed things up a bit from Josh’s most recent rankings . NBA Power Rankings: Januar...
