Oklahoma City Thunder

Record: 13-7

Grade: A 

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been quite good this season. Even better considering that this team got off to such a slow start at the beginning of the year. The team opened 0-4 to start the season, and has been arguably the best team in the NBA since.

They have gone 13-3 since then, and currently have the NBA’s fourth-best Net Rating. When this team is healthy, they are one of the best rosters in the Western Conference and the league. They are beginning to look like the team that could potentially challenge the Warriors in the West.

This is beginning to be the team that many expected them to be last season. Keep a close eye on the Thunder and how they continue to progress.
