Like Thanos once described himself as, this OKC Thunder team has been deemed "inevitable."
That's the word Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley opted to go with in his recent exercise of using one-term descriptors for every team in the league this year. Frankly, it's rather hard to argue with his reasoning.
To Buckley, the inevitability of Oklahoma City relates to their chances of taking home the 2026 Larry O'Brien Trophy, as they are the undisputed favorites to become the first repeat champion since the 2018 Golden State Warriors.
The scariest part is, many believed last season's version would be the best seen from this Thunder club.
