Thunder has been resilient all season long.

OKC has lost 2 games in a row only twice all season. They haven’t lost 3 in a row all season.

This young team does not play like a young team.

There’s 1 team you can’t blame for the Mavs landing Cooper Flagg.

Back in 2017 when the new lottery reform went to a vote, 28 teams voted for the new flattened odds.

Ironically, the Mavs abstained from voting.

OKC Thunder were the only team to vote against.
