    OKC is built so well and solid across every position that they can shut down just about anyone defensively -- even Jokic. They’re already one of the top offensive teams in the league, but on top of that, they lead the NBA in defense, steals, free throw percentage, and net rating. They’re also second in blocks and the best at defending the three. They should enjoy this run while it lasts; at least until it’s time to start handing out those big contracts.

    Their bigs are already producing 12/8 and 4 blocks combined at the beginning of the 3rd. That's hard to counter. I'd like to see the Thunder-Wolves WCF.
