As of Tuesday I saw that OKC had the the 5th best offense since the trade deadline, so not #1 but solid nonetheless.

Fair enough. I think I read/heard somewhere at some point after the trade it was the best offense, but that may have been just a week or two after the trade. Of course now they've played the last couple of weeks without Ibaka, too, who was also tearing it up after the trade.

There offense has gone has Westbrook has gone. Post trade he was on a crazy tear, but the last couple weeks his efficiency has gone down the toilet. I can totally see it having been the best at some point and with Durant it certainly could be the best once again.

okay, but that's one team. I understand OKC has been unusually unlucky with injuries, but making claims based upon the assumption of perfect health is like me saying I could make a million dollars off investing if I could just average 12% rate of return. Being healthy is the exception, not the norm.

There's a difference in missing a few players for a few weeks, and literally having everyone on your team be out at some point for the year.

Dont think anyone said everyone would play all 82 but essentially everyone on the team missing 3+ weeks and the top 3 players all missing 15+ games is about as unlucky as it gets.

Golden State is one of 5 teams EVER to have a point differential of plus 10.

Like I said, keep dreaming.

Provided good health, they could have an insane team next year if Kanter is retained.

Defense wont be great but good enough with how insane the offense could be.

Would next year's team assuming regular health better than the 2012-2013 thunder?

It can be better than that team and still be worse record wise than that team.

Don't get me wrong. I don't even think next year's Warriors team will do as well as this year's Warriors team. It takes a lot of luck to have one of the greatest regular seasons ever.

You think GS is one of the top 5 teams ever.

And i never said they'd be as good as GS was this year, unlikely given how good GS is defensively.

Holy Hell. Would you just please read what I say? I was not responding to what you said. It was what thethe said.
 
JusticeForAll23 said:
So do you consider Golden State one of the five best teams ever? Or am I misunderstanding your post?

My point is that Golden State is one of five teams ever to have a point differential of plus 10. I was simply responding to what thethe said that OKC would do what GS would do and he mentioned point differential, specifically.
 
So Reggie Jackson has been pretty good for the Pistons after the first few games. I'm so mad that the organization couldn't find a way to make it work but Jackson is probably another Harden situation where they wanted their own team and didn't want to be considered the third guy.
