Two years ago, the young OKC squad had difficulty reaching the play-in. Last year, this Thunder defied the predictions by taking 1st place in the West and a conference semi-final, narrowly lost against Dallas (4-2).
Today, Oklahoma, ever more ambitious, wants to do even better and continue to climb the ladder four by four. So understand going to the Conference Finals or, even better, the NBA Finals.
The franchise also afforded itself the means this summer by having a magnificent offseason. The Thunder have indeed sacrificed the erratic Josh Giddey to afford the defensive pitbull Alex Carusobefore grabbing the much-courted Isaiah Hartenstein.
What to treat yourself to roster very deep, which is dripping with talent at all positions, and allow Marc Daigneaultthe architect responsible for putting all this to music, relying on around ten (very) reliable men.
Speaking of a reliable man, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander3rd in the last MVP, will also want to continue his fantastic momentum and therefore do (even) better than last year’s 30 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds. He will be assisted by a pair of yesterday, Jalen Williams – Chet Holmgren (45 years between them).
The only team – with the Celtics – to appear jointly in the Top 5 of the best defenses and the best attacks last year, OKC therefore wants to continue its rush to the top. Three years after finishing second to last in his conference. Proof, if one more was needed, that in the NBA, things can go quickly. Very quickly…
