I truly believe Kevin Durant is the best offensive talent in NBA history. He is system-less. Literally drop him into any team, on any court, against any comp - and he's going to give you nothing but buckets.

Durant for sure is up there. Just can create and score at any level and creates huge mismatches with his height and length that guys like Curry don't.

I think Jokic has to be in the conversation, too. Shooting 67/43/88 this year while leading the league in assists at 11/game from the center position is insane. 29/13/11 this year.

Probably a long shot but does anyone have a pair of tickets for Friday night they need to get rid of?

It is pretty insane how natural he looks. He's like the Mandalorian - drop him into any situation with any team and he's immediately kicking ass.

Rough 3rd. Let's see if we can close it.

Holiday kept us up then the rest of the team woke up to close.

Took it on the road and beat one of the best in the East.

I was optimistic we'd be good, but I am pleasantly surprised how well Durant's and Sengun's games have meshed.

Pretty much dominated them end to end, too.

Holiday and Sheppard with 30 off the bench, 4 points from Capela and the rest was on the starters.

Pretty efficient win all things considered, on the road too.

Lots of good teams, but the competition starts and ends with who can challenge OKC

Great team win last night. Six guys in double figures. Beat the hell out of Cleveland on the glass. I am really looking forward to Friday night against the Nugs (11-3). Should be a good early measuring stick.

I am still highly anticipating the debut of DFS. I think he is going to fit in pretty nicely to this team's style.

Last thing, I have an irrational pettiness towards Donovan Mitchell dating back to his Utah days. Every time I watch him play I can't help but think he is one of the more overrated "stars" in the league. He's a solid player, but not the guy I want to be THE guy on my team.

Sadly everything else is a race for second place until something in OKC messes up. Having random 2nd rounders play out every year doesn't help

All it takes is a well timed giant Steve Adams foot coming down on SGA's ankle in the lane and it's an open field!
