Oklahoma City Thunder
2014-15 Record: 45-37
2015-16 Projected Wins: 55-62
Health permitting, the Oklahoma City Thunder are going to be the best team in the Western Conference heading into the 2015-16 season. No team in the NBA has what the Thunder have in Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook — two of the NBA’s five best players.
The last time that this team completed a season (including playoffs) healthy, they were in the NBA Finals facing off against LeBron James.
If this team is healthy, there’s no doubt in my mind that they can make the NBA Finals once again.
