With the addition of Chet, the OKC Thunder (10-4) are having an amazing start to the year. (www.nba.com)

The Thunder currently have the 4th best record in the nba, behind the timberwolves, sixers, and Celtics. They are almost averaging 50/40/90 shooting splits as a team, leading the league in FG% (50.3%) and 3pt% (41.0%) while being tied for first in FT% (86.7%).

I’ve only managed to catch a few Thunder games so far this year, but it seems like their motion heavy, dynamic offense and focus on rostering players who can perform well in all aspects of play is paying off to make the Thunder one of the best teams in the league. Do you think the thunder have a real shot at sustaining their hot start to the year? Further, could they be a serious dark horse contender this year?

Can you be a dark horse contender if you are a top 5 team 17% of the way through the season?

At what point are you just a contender? If you are a top 5 team through 25% 35% of the season? Or when playoffs begin?

40 wins before 20 losses, is the rule.
