The Thunder are currently at a pace that would make them 2% higher TS% than the highest team TS of all time, the 2017 Warriors.

I don’t think that clip is sustainable, however I think they will stand land in the top five of this record.

They are so disciplined, never get rattled, incredibly deep, and bought in so hard to both the coaching staff and the organization overall, it’s pretty ideal.

I have them winning for 2025, homer but not unrealistic take.

I see them become the 2000s-era Spurs style dynasty. No back-to-back rings; more like, a ring every other year or two, for a decade.

I hadn’t noticed the TS, they’ve been the most efficient right now of course but that’s just crazy. They hold opponents to the lowest efficiency in the league too. The only 2 things they’ve been bad at are offensive rebounding and field goal attempts actually. Funny that.

I wonder if they can actually become the Spurs… I can see it, but they don’t have a veteran presence like The Admiral was for Duncan. Unless Shai is going to be that for Chet or something? Regardless, I’m really excited to see where this team goes.

  Only two other teams in the league have slashed at 50-40-80 after 14 games, per Stathead: the 2017-18 Warriors (who won a title with Kevin Durant) and the 2018-19 Warriors (who won the West with KD).
