We are almost midway through the season, and tiers are starting to become more defined in the Western Conference. Despite looking relatively pedestrian since the Spurs helped bring them back down to earth from their record-tying start, the Thunder still have a pretty sizable (but not insurmountable) cushion between themselves and the rest of the […]

Not what you want. It’s not the end of the world or anything. It’s not like we’re in a full-on crisis like the Thunder, can you even imagine?!?!? But yeah, this wasn’t it.

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 .

The narrative that the Spurs can “only beat the Thunder” doesn’t survive even a small glance at the Western Conference standings. Despite losses in three of their last five games, San Antonio is 25-10 as the calendar turns to 2026, and that record includes beating NBA’s best team by record for most of the season. […]

Last week, I posed the question — are the Sixers good? Well, in the time since, the team dropped three straight games to the Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder. They’ve started a season-long, five-game road trip 0-2 (and the next three games are no picnic) and have a 16-14 record, which is […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off arguably their worst two-game stretch of the season, a dreadful performance in a home loss to the Brooklyn Nets, and then a late-game collapse to see a victory slip through their fingers in Chicago.
