After the draft, Chet said he thought he could be 50/40/90. Did he bring this dream to the rest of OKC?

The Oklahoma City Thunder are shooting a blistering 55.5% from 2, 41.0% from 3, and 86.7% from the line. This is the recipe for their hot start despite being consistently out-rebounded night after night.

Is Chip Engelland a god after all? Obviously this has to come back to down Earth at some point, right?… right?

      Probably not if only because the entire rotation except Kenrich and JWill have been healthy, and stars missing games leads to role players getting inefficient looks. That said, it’s not a stretch to say this is the best-shooting Thunder team ever.

      I would say not but even dropping off a good amount the Thunder will still win a lot of games.

      Not a chance. That said, they are generating a ton of wide open looks - 3rd in the league in shot frequency with closest defender 6+ feet away

      They are currently the most efficient scoring team in NBA history. They’re a whopping 1.9 TS% better than the 2017 Warriors. I wouldn’t rule it out, but there’s a lot of season left.
