OKC exemplifies everything that people who don’t actually watch the NBA, get wrong about the NBA.

Nobody plays defense. Really? Go watch the Thunder.

It’s all about threes. Really? Go watch the Thunder.

Everyone plays exactly the same way. Really? Go watch the Thunder.

Alex Caruso has locked up everybody these playoffs. Ja Morant, Jokic, Jamal Murray, Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle

Oklahoma City enters the Finals with the second-best point differential (regular season + playoffs) in NBA history.

1996 Bulls: +11.94
2017 Warriors: +11.96
2025 THUNDER: +12.55
1971 Bucks: +12.58

They are four wins away from entering GOAT conversations.

I was hoping somebody knew this but ESPN just confirmed it. The Thunder are the youngest team to reach the Finals since the 77 Blazers. I know the 77 Blazers were the youngest team to win a title since the merger.

Amazing. What a run. Not over yet but respect what the Thunder have done so far.

Pretty easy argument to make that OKC has the greatest combination of present-day talent, future assets and financial flexibility that we’ve ever seen in a sport with a salary cap. If truly dynastic runs are still possible in the NBA, it will be the Thunder who pull it off.

OKC is getting better as these playoffs go

And that’s a scary thought
