The is only a 3 game difference between the 2nd seed and the 10h in the West right now. So, I think it's impossible to know what goes down with seeding at this point. Everything can get flipped around from week to week.
I do think OKC is legit though. They have the best point differential in the West, which I think is a good sign for them finishing well.

I think OKC is pretty legit. And if they wanted to cash in some of their assets they can improve their team more still.

Don't know the best thread to put this in. Every few years, there's a team that makes a big leap in wins. I have the Thunder as a top 6 team in the league, and 2nd in the West.Teams most likely to lose more are Philadelphia and Memphis. Utah, Dallas, Indiana are other teams likely to win more, although not as much of an improvement as I think Oklahoma City could make.
There will probably be two 60 win teams this year.
Horton-Tucker starting for Utah, as it seemed like he might, based on summer / preseason.
A little surprised Jordan Clarkson is also starting, Dunn might be the better fit.
Horton-Tucker has a chance to show improvement, if he's capable of it.
OKC are not 2nd in the west I think OKC is pretty legit. And if they wanted to cash in some of their assets they can improve their team more still.
My pre-season prediction of OKC 2nd in the west was very close. They surpassed it, if it helps my prediction.

Yes they were better this year than I expected. SGA took a big step forward.

He was the main reason I picked OKC as the team to improve a lot.
He underwhelmed me from mid December onwards. He's still important, but I expected more.

Do I get credit for picking Phoenix over Minnesota in the last regular season game, as the game most likely where the "worse" team wins?
It was not a 100% declaration of faith. So not a full pick. Just one I thought where that result could happen.
My line of "I could see them winning" was referring to the Suns. As I said, not a fully confident pick of them as a winner, just a "I think they could".
