NBA fans are agreeing with Stephen A. Smith after the veteran analyst recently admitted that the OKC is making the league look so boring, since they are just too good. The Thunder has lost just one game right now in the campaign and look like solid runners for the trophy. Smith’s remarks has most fans nodding along to him, with many of them making interesting points of their own.
“They’re 24-1, okay? They’ve won like 15 or 16 straight. Shai Butter — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — is just that dude. I’m worried about the NBA. OKC is on the verge of making this season that I was looking very much forward to very, very boring. They’re just that dominant. I just don’t know what to say. I’m just looking and I’m like, can anybody beat them? And by the way, they gonna win 73. They’re just a juggernaut on both ends of the floor. They do what they want, when they want, and they turn it up when they want. It’s like that in OKC,” Stephen A. Smith said.

“Adam Silver has built a legacy around making NBA’s parity highest in years. 7 different champs in 7 years. But OKC is about to destroy that parity he built for so long… All because of that Clippers trade for PG that sent SGA and picks to Thunder,” one fan explained.
“They’re so good man. Clippers gifting them another first round too.” another fan said.
“They will burn out. Issue is they are allowed to be overly physical and have a foul merchant on the other end. Great team defensively, but I feel in a playoff teams will be more prepared. Right now, no one is playing hard except okc.” One more fan highlighted.
NBA Fans Come Up With Right Contenders To Beat OKC
Meanwhile, many NBA fans had their own answers as to which team is the best possible contender to beat an impressively-performing OKC right now. These fan opinions are pretty interesting, since they also nitpick at any loopholes that the Thunder might be playing with right now.
“I think the Nuggets can beat them but that might be the only team that can.” One fan said.

“The league needs Jayson Tatum to come back,” another fan said, referring to the Celtics.
“Suns were without Booker and Green.” One more fan added.
The OKC has not just proven that they are at their top game right now, but the team itself has received plenty of favor from game officials. This, too has been called out widely by both fans and analysts.
