Oklahoma City Thunder Team News

From a team that was at the bottom of the Western Conference in previous seasons, the Thunder have reached the very top of the West in a very short time, and are only two wins away from first place in the West. It was clear that they are doing a good job with the selection of young players, and that they will find their “unicorn” in the group of new super talented players. For now, they have two, Josh Giddey and Chet Holmgren who are certainly atypical for the positions they cover.

However, all of this would certainly be much worse if the Thunder did not have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who for many is the best player in the league this season. He scores 31 points on average, but his impact on the Thunder’s game is huge, and he literally makes each of his teammates twice as good. He is not a triple-double machine, nor is he physically dominant, but that is why he is a real game-changer and one of the best players in clutch time.

In the last round, the Thunder defeated the Nets very easily, and just a few days ago they defeated the champions Denver Nuggets for the second time in a row, both times away from home. Only this time, they left the Nuggets with no chance, limiting them to just 93 points.

Boston Celtics Team News

The Celtics are playing a great season and are deservedly in first place in the East, with the best record in the league. The attack has been at a high level throughout the season, and they are constantly in the top five offensive teams in the league, while recently they have also raised the level of defense and limit their opponents to 110 points on average.

The Celtics play at a fast pace shoot a lot for three points and literally live off of it. It’s obvious that they “live well” because they win everything in a row, and on average they hit 16 three-points per game with a team percentage of 37.4%. Tatum and Brown are the absolute leaders of the team dominating the one-on-one game, but this season they got a big addition in the form of Kristaps Porzingis, who is having one of the best seasons of his career, just like Derrick White, who is averaging 17 points, but his contribution in creation and defense is phenomenal.

The Celtics’ biggest problem is the points coming off the bench, that is, the players coming off the bench. They score only 27 points per game, which is by far the fewest of anyone in the league, but the contribution of these players from game to game is increasing. Mazzulla has been getting a lot of points lately from Pritchard, who got a lot more space, which he makes the most of.
