Of course he is. The Thunder have two famous people. That means they're much better than teams that won more games. Or something.
So depending on how things go in the early games: Would you rather have the 3 seed and play OKC/SAS in the 1st round, then Denver in the 2nd round OR Have the 4th Seed and play Utah in the 1st round, then have to play Golden State in the 2nd round??
I'd rather play OKC than Utah. Adding in not having to face GSW in the first round makes the 3 seed an easy choice for me.
It doesn’t matter who we play in the first round...it only matters that we avoid GSW until the Conference Finals.
So it’s looking like OKC will beat the Bucks and Spurs are winning. So if we finish in the 3 seed we play OKC. If we finish in the 4 seed we take in Utah. So tonight I’ll be cheering on the Blazers and the Nuggets to win - assuring us the 3 seed. Think I have it right ?!
