NBA: 1 Completely unnecessary overreaction for all 30 teams after opening week

Oklahoma City Thunder

1 Overreaction: The Oklahoma City Thunder will run away with the West

Through the first week of the NBA season, the argument could be made that the Oklahoma City Thunder are probably going to end up running away with the Western Conference, especially considering what's going on atop the conference. The Minnesota Timberwolves are likely going to be working through some chemistry issues for much of the season, the Denver Nuggets, and the Dallas Mavericks are far from dominant. The Los Angeles Lakers have been the other impressive team in the West but they'll still have to prove they can remain healthy over the course of a season.

That leaves the Thunder as a team in the West that's probably going to have the best chance at sustained excellence in the regular season. They're not even at 100 percent yet, as Isaiah Hartenstein recovers from injury, and the Thunder are picking up where they left off last year.

If I had to guess right now, I'd imagine the Thunder are going to have their way the rest of the regular season in the West.
