Whether a team is under or over performing, who's gonna be a complete opposite by the end of the season compared to now?

I don't know if I'd say "artificially inflated"; other teams get to play bad teams all the time. The East gets to play both the Wizards and Pistons multiple times. Our net rating and point differential still has us as one of the best teams in the league.

I do agree that I don't think we'll stay the second seed, though. Our lack of rebounding hurts a lot, and we've started the season very hot from three. I think we'll probably settle around the 4-6 seed

I’d definitely say “artificially inflated”

Because the record is higher (inflated) thanks to having weaker opponents so far

Not a big deal

I guess, I just think of artificial inflation as making a bad team look good. I still think the Thunder are a good team, even though our record might be better than it should be

it also isn't just purely your W-L... but also being seeded #2 in the West above Denver and Phoenix
