The OKC Thunder Shouldn’t Be THIS GOOD…
The OKC Thunder Shouldn’t Be THIS GOOD…
The OKC Thunder average the most steals per game ever by any team in NBA history at 12.2 takeaways per game. This had lead them to the best defensive rating in the NBA holding teams to just 104 points per night. Their defensive prowess was on full display against Luka Doncic, one of the NBA’s top players. They limited him to just 16 points on 5-for-15 shooting. Even when Doncic struggles to score, he typically compensates with elite playmaking. However, the Thunder shut that down too, holding him to only 5 assists while forcing him into 6 turnovers.

Who has the best chance to beat the Thunder in a 7 games series? ⬇
It’s our year
SGA Caruso/Dort JDub Chet IHart is a diabolical defensive unit
caruso is one of the most valuable players in the league, and teams never try to keep him around. i never understood it
They not coming out the west stop it. Nba history shows growth isn’t linear. They’re more likely to lose in the first round than make the finals. Look at the mavs, Celt,Heat, Bucks. They didn’t just jump from 2nd round to finals.
Best Defense In The NBA Currently, 2 Elite Rim Protectors In Chet And Hartenstein. 3 Lock Down Defenders In Dort, Wallace, and Caruso. 2 Sparks Off The Bench In Aaron Wiggins And Isiah Joe. then Of Course The Big 3 Of SGA, J Dub, and Chet 💪🏾🔥
Let’s see them get to the championship before crowning them.
Hopefully okc don't mess up like what they did with kd Westbrook n harden
Can’t wait till Grizzlies humble these frauds
Right now, The Celtics are probably their biggest threat. Don't see anyone beating them in the west.
When did the Bill Russel Celtics have the leagues worst offense? didn't they have one of the better offenses in the league most of the time with a slightly below average offense only in bill russels last 2 seasons?
This team sticks so well, because they are young and they have shaped their gameplay to fit the gameplay of this specific team. Their synergy is peak at this moment.
Idk y you say shouldn’t, they have the talent and skill to be that good
Dort just fouls Luka all game if PJ Washington defended Shai like that he’d be ejected before half time
cannot wait until chet gets back. if this team doesnt win the chip it will be worse fumble than russ, kd, and harden
I thought this was expected of OKC? What else would you suggest after last year?
Grizz better n can't wait for them to beat them next week
OKC fan since 2015 am I can’t be more excited to watch them play
Literally everyone knew the Thunder were going to be the best team in the western conference. Terrible title for the video
Dallas had the best chance of beating OKC, I think they’re the only team in the West that has a chance, barring major injury.
They are playing incredible however comparing their first 12 games to an entire 82 game season for the bulls or warriors shouldn't happen. It's a small sample size. Nonetheless glad to see them as favorites. Defense is next level
A healthy Dallas is the only team that i see okc struggling against
Bos vs Okc 2025 SGA FMVP
The most mind boggling stat is the Thunder still have more steals than turnovers this season. They have 292 STEALS (not just opp turnovers) on the season and have only turned the ball over 280 times. That's a +12 differential. No team in history has ever had a positive diff in those 2 stats this deep into the season.
People do not understand how crazy are defense is going to be. We will have the ability to literally turn off opposing teams offense’s with the roster of Caruso, Wallace, Dort, Holmgren, and Hartenstein.
Luka spent most of the game throwing his hands up for no reason.
Celtics/Bucks vs OKC
