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?

These next few weeks will really show whether the Thunder are actual competitors or just a playoff team. After the Bulls, we have:

76ers
@Timberwolves
Lakers
@Mavericks
Jazz
@Kings
@Nuggets

As the next 7 games. So far we have beaten the teams we are supposed to beat (Draymondless Warriors, Booker / Bealless Suns, Spurs, Bulls, Blazers, Pistons).

Even with this hot start, I don’t see us as contenders.

Super stoked for that Wolves game. Should be a really interesting matchup
