The Oklahoma City Thunder might be for real
It’s only been two games for most teams, including the Oklahoma City Thunder. Through those two games, though, the Thunder have been pretty impressive. In their season opener, they thrashed the Chicago Bulls by 20 points. They followed that up with a solid win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Thunder are 2-0 after the first week of the season and have the look of a team that is going to be a serious contender to make the playoffs.
OKC has one of the better defenses in the NBA and Chet Holmgren is already doing crazy things on the defensive end of the floor. If their young players can continue to build off this solid start, there’s nothing holding this team back from being a nightmarish matchup for a contender in the playoffs.
I don’t want to get ahead of myself but the Thunder look legit. How legit remains to be seen but they have a solid foundation heading into the second week of the NBA season. The question is, can they keep it all going?
