5. Oklahoma City Thunder (33-26)

Russell Westbrook and Paul George are really fun.

Westbrook doing his thing with another All-Star on the team is making my basketball senses tingle, this is simply amazing.

PG13 is the Robin that Westbrook’s Batman wanted out of Durant in the past, and I’m all in for whatever the Thunder have in store for us.

This basketball team is my favorite to give the Golden State Warriors trouble in the playoffs, possibly forcing an upset.

Yes, I said that.

Can you blame me? The Oklahoma City Thunder are playing with such aggression right now; Even without their amazing defender, Andre Roberson.

There is one problem.

Carmelo Anthony has the worst winning percentage for any player in NBA history with at least 50 playoff games.

That is most definitely an issue when it’s one of your best players, but we’ll see if Melo is “okay” taking a back seat to Westbrook and George come playoff time.
