Oklahoma City Thunder Team News
One of the most pleasant surprises this season, both in the West and in the entire league, is the young team of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Although they have injury problems with some players who were projected to be the leaders of the team, the Thunder are still within reach of the play-in group. First of all, thanks to the fantastic season played by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who plays in a trance all season.
In addition to the fact that Shai leads the team with almost 31 points per game, he is also the best player in the league this season in “crunch time”, that is, he solved the most games with his points in the last two minutes. The Thunder are 24-25, just two wins behind the tenth-place Jazz. However, Oklahoma has been playing great lately, they have won seven of their last ten games. When looking at Oklahoma’s roster next to SGA, the average NBA basketball follower might recognize maybe two or three names, namely Lou Dort and Josh Giddey. Oklahoma’s lineup includes very young players, who have just been drafted, or played in the G League, and backup options in some other teams. It should be noted that Oklahoma has been playing without its “unicorns” Alexey Pokusevski and Chet Holmgren, who are certainly one of the league’s greatest talents.
It is interesting that the oldest player on the team is Mike Muscala 31 years old, while the second oldest is Kenrich Williams 28 years old. Oklahoma is a franchise with a bright future ahead of it.
Golden State Warriors Team News
The champions from last season are struggling a lot this season, especially away from home, where they rarely win. After the tour in the East, they returned and defeated one of the biggest rivals this season, the Memphis Grizzlies and then the Toronto Raptors. Although the Warriors are struggling for play-in and are 25-24, they are still one of the main favorites in the West.
In whatever form Golden State is in, they have extraordinary players in their lineup, and they are the current champions of the league. Steph Curry when he’s on fire looks undefendable. In addition to him, there are also All-Star players Green and Thompson, who have been protecting his back for years, and Klay showed it this season with great clutch shots. When the Warriors find a rhythm and raise their level in defense, we think everyone in the West will be in trouble. The All-Star is near, and coach Kerr is timing the form, and soon we will see the Warriors in the right rhythm. It should be noted that in the last match, the Warriors played a great match against the Raptors, where they were behind for a long time, but in the middle of 4/4, Curry and Thompson appeared as if from their best days, and scored 30 points each. The Raptors had no solution for that.
Wiggins missed the last match due to illness, but is expected to be in the squad for this match.
