This is a crazy stat. I don’t think Thunder will be in any hurry to trade players. But things can still change before trade deadline lots of ball to play and if they have a long losing streak then all bets are off. But this is pretty amazing and unexpected to me.

The Celts ended up rolling to a 16 point win over the Raptors today. Nurse tried to run that press on them, but the Celts easily beat their press.
Blowouts so far. Seems they need flexibility to change matchups a month prior. 2 of the later games will be blowouts on paper looks like only the LA game will be closely matched.
Warriors beating the Rockettes after 3 quarters of play...
Houston has absolutely no chance as long as Westbrick is shooting 30+ shots per night. 0-8 for three!
SamPrestiBurner is a little over the top. Not sure you need to make a conspiracy theory about an injury being reported
So far in West in my opinion:
You have 6 top teams all within 5 games (in loss column) and will vye for seeding all year long:
LAL, Den, LAC, Mavs, Rox, Jazz
Then you have A loner in 7th (OKC) who are 3 back and 3 up on 6th/8th place.
Then you have 6 teams within 1 game (loss column) fighting for 8 seed:
Port, SAS, SAC, Suns, Min, Mem. These teams will fight tank vs playoff seed all year. Some will fall back fast.
OKC could still hit a bad patch or trade key players and fall. Currently have too many good players to tank and youngsters are learning fast. Still without Diallo last month. Robes all year. And Gallo last few games. Wondering if Gallo is on block and being cautious.
Still so much BBto play. Portland is team needing to add player to get into fight.
In one of the most bizarre things to see OKC is ahead heading to Overtime. Has to be a quirky record right? After the reg buzzer Charlotte was assessed a delay of game tech for throwing ball so CP makes it in between 4th qtr and OT.
Also, we had no business going to OT but young players will do that.
