We are no longer being viewed as the toe-jam of the NBA which I'm totally ecstatic about!! I got to admit, I'm a bit anxious for pre-season to start to see what we truly have on the court and not just on paper! Spoiler: Cuz were moving on up to a..... to a Deluxe Apartment in the sky!!! Go Rockets!!! ....... ....... ......
You’ve got to be Jocking… honestly I deserve all the hate for that pitiful joke but I couldn’t help myself
I actually like us more than the teams directly above us. Orlando, Jazz, Bulls, Hawks and Nets I'm pretty low on. Issue is most of the really bad teams are in the east. I'm super curious to see us play the Thunder. Chet looked really good in SL. Williams/Chet/SGA/Giddey is a solid core. I don't think it's a title winning core but it's pretty good.
Orlando you shouldn't be low also. That's a team also expected to make jumps. Their best players are also 20-23 years old. That means they will naturally improve like the Rockets with sheer internal growth of players, primarily Franz and Paolo. Also for the Thunder, Chet is a big wildcard. That can instantly turn that core into the best young core in the league. Because if Chet reaches his potential, that's Chet, Shai, Jalen Williams and Giddey. That is a lot of high end talent. And they've already made the jump the Rockets are hoping to make this season. So I don't know why anyone wouldn't be extremely high on the Thunder.
