Even if it isn’t the best thing for their title chances? No team has ever won 73 games and won the title


They are a young team. SGA was motivated after last year and felt they didn’t play hard enough in the playoffs. They slacked off the last month of reg season and it showed in playoffs. This is his way to keep them focused so they have momentum and sharpness into playoffs. And duh, only 1 team has won 73 games so your “trend” means nothing.

I still think they fall just short of 73. Its a long season and they will have some losses by just not shooting well. Bit it is possible they are much better than a year ago. Keep in mind Chet was out most of last season and came back rusty towards end. If he stays healthy plus they have more experience its possible.

They absolutely can. Only weakness is the 3 point shot but that is starting to heat up. I would just absolutely hate to be a fan of the Lakers right now, or any other team besides the Thunder. The next 7-10 years are going to be rough for opponents.

Bout to get their third loss in 5 games. SGA is no longer getting the BS calls, and they're losing. A coincidence? I think not.

I’m sure those 4 FTs per game have made all the difference.

Stupid post. He had 33 and was not the problem. 3 of 4 losses on 2nd game of back to backs. I mean FTs were 24-7 in favor of SA lol. As physical as game was thats a huge disparity. But wasn’t why they lost they just played bad. Simple as that.

SA is good and you have to be on your game and OKC was tired. Play again Thu. Was a fun game mostly.

As I said in thread the 80 was never gonna happen. People overreact just like you are in their loss. They will be there in the end and should be a fun season.

OKC fans seem awfully sensitive when someone banters about their team (like Ohio State fans). OKC probably wins 65-70 games anyway, but the 80-win prediction was absurd. I think GSW and SA could give OKC issues (if GSW gets a big). Most people are going to dislike SGA/OKC unless they are Thunder fans (which I am not). I'm a Pacers fan, and people can talk all the trash they want about them; they're just fans like you or I, so who GAF about what other fanbases think of their favorite team.

Update: I re-ran the numbers and it appears the Thunder are limited to at most 78 regular season wins. Unlucky
