Thuner is one hell of a team and are the youngest team in the league. Tonight halfway through the 4th they are clobbering the Pels with a continued injured Zion. Zion, I'm sure would have made a difference but watching this young Thunder team reminds me of their first glory days with the trio of KD, Westbrook and Harden when the 3 were also very young.
The Pens are still Zion and another key player short to dance with the big guys but they are just starting to become good and IIRC both the Pels and Thunder have a lot of draft picks coming ups which should bode well for each team.
Having said that the Thunder behind SGA, Holmgren and Williams have taken this club to another level as they can score at will.
Holmgren as such a big guy needs to bulk up and become buff but right now he's pretty damn good
SGA however is the oil that makes this team so smooth. He is a remarkable young man. I only learned tonight that he was born in my hometown, Toronto, Canada and like Jamal Murray grew up in Hamilton Ontario
SGA is a superstar. Another few years in the league and he is guaranteed an MVP trophy and will win a few rings. ....unless the Thunder do what they did to their previous big 3 and trade them when they couldn't afford to renew their contracts
This game was over at the half biut with 1:30 left the Thunder lead by 30 (120-90)
My big question is who matches up better with Denver . OKC tied the season with Denver but finished first due to a better head to head against the Nuggets
Yet having said that the Wolves are a more mature team who can bang bodies with the nuggets. The Thunder boils have to bet them with their you, speed and stamina when playing Denver
Final OKC 124-92
