OKC's on a 77-win pace, without Jalen Williams, and people are starting to openly wonder if they can win 70 (or more). Of course they can.
They won 68 games with a worse, more injured roster last season. Chet Holmgren missed 50 games, and has been significantly better on offense this year. Ajay Mitchell is for real. Their defense, where content contenders typically slouch, has been even better so far. JDub was available to open that campaign, but a good chunk of his early season was spent playing out of position as a stopgap center.
