Let’s get this out of the way immediately: the Oklahoma City Thunder are still the best team in the league.
However, it seems like other young, athletic teams — on the right night — have their number. Unfortunately for the Thunder, the second-best team in the West certainly applies to this rule. And it appears their quest for a 70-win season may be dead.
Here are our latest power rankings. I’ve changed things up a bit from Josh’s most recent rankings .

Sunday hoops at the Barclays! The Nets are regrouping after a three-game skid, particularly following a tough loss on Friday night to Washington. To be fair, they were down a ton of guys… but still.

One of these days, we’ll finally get through a week without losing games or players to injuries. Today is not one of those weeks for the Chicago Bulls. After another disappointing result against the Charlotte Hornets, Chicago is back under .500, and with the roster getting thinner by the day, they’re probably going to stay there for a while.
Let’s talk Bulls basketball.

If you want to watch a play that pretty much summed up the entire game, just witness Bub Carrington making Nolan Traore hit the deck to end the third quarter. Friday night’s 119-99 loss to the Washington Wizards was bad, but not to the point where it will ruin your day. We didn’t have our […]

Playing in their 22nd clutch game of the season (per KC Johnson of Chicago Sports Network ), Chicago capitalized on some critical late Paolo Banchero mistakes to best the Orlando Magic, 121-114, on Friday night — the first in a back-to-back set of home bouts.
The Bulls are back to a .500 record (17-17) with the win, and now will look to notch its third straight home victory sans its two best players on Saturday night, against the Charlotte Hornets.

Early in the Wizards’ win over the Brooklyn Nets, a thought popped to mind for the first time this season (and probably last season too): The Wizards are better than these guys. It surely helped that Michael Porter Jr. — the Nets best offensive player — and Nic Claxton — their best defender — were […]

Sometimes the schedule hands you a game that feels less like a test and more like a setup. With their best three players all sidelined on the second night of a back-to-back, it didn’t take a genius to predict how Friday night’s game was going to turn out.
