New NBA Power Rankings: Will anyone stop SGA & OKC Thunder?
Jason gives an update to his NBA power rankings and discusses how incredible Shai Gilgeous-Alexander the Oklahoma City Thunder are, with their championship odds moving to even odds at +100. Will Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs or Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggets be able to beat OKC in the West?

Lol nuggets are #2 easy
Only time OKC has lost this season or even last year in the playoffs is when they’ve shot under 30% from 3. Only way to have a chance is for them to shoot poor from 3 and to shut off the rim. Denver packed the paint and dared them to beat them with the 3 ball but Jokic was so bad at guarding the rim OKC just won by attacking the rim.
They’ve become relentless this year attacking the rim and much more consistent from 3 this year. For a team to shut off the paint and hope they shoot under 30% 4/7 games in a series is incredibly unlikely.
Putting the Rockets at behind the lakers is actually a joke lol. The Rockets actually have defense to match up with the OKC with interior and exterior defense. Most importantly the rockets are a really good 3pt shooting team which is OKC’s most glaring hole. It’s a joke that you put a lakers team that have a horrendous defense interior and at the 3pt line with no great spot up shooters on top of that.
Nuggets are gonna win it all, OKC had an elite defense but the nuggets can overcome it. Denver showed early this year when full healthy they can plan solid defense. I think OKC has limitations on offense that nuggets will expose like last year 🤷🏻♂️
you coming around on the knicks jason. i proud of you brother.
