The Oklahoma City Thunder are the best team in the Western Conference, but some people don’t feel they have the power to go to the Finals.
However, others think they are playing like one of the most legendary squads of all time.
Speaking to FanDuel TV, Raheem Palmer said the Thunder are “performing like the best team of all time.”
He said they are currently on pace for 67 wins and have a simple rating system (“SRS”) that is better than the Chicago Bulls of the 90s and the Golden State Warriors of the 2016-17 season.
But he added that some people still don’t believe in them yet, despite how well they are doing and how strong their numbers are.

Palmer is definitely correct when he says that some people don’t have faith in the Thunder.
Even though they are playing extremely well and are easily the best team in the West, a number of fans feel they will fall apart when the playoffs begin.
Many people believe that because they say the Thunder have no postseason success to brag about and will fold when they face a more experienced opponent.
Of course, they have been in the playoffs before, even though they haven’t earned a lot of wins.
There comes a time for every team when they break through to the next level and finally silence the doubters who think they don’t have enough power.
Will this be the year the Thunder do it?
Even if they don’t, nothing will erase the fantastic record they have so far.
