And so that was a good team considering what they had just sort of come from. This team now, I mean, their point differential is 11.9. and we're still way early in the season, that's third all-time. The only two teams that have a better point differential than that are the 96 Bulls and the 97 Bulls. This 11.9 is above the 11.6 that those 2017 Warriors the first year of Durant.
They're in rarefied air right now. Anything can happen. The injury bug has not left them alone this year in the way that it did last year. Obviously, all those caveats need caveats. You can take the kid out of Oklahoma. You know what I mean? There are plenty of ways you can hedge your bets here, but right now...

The combination of this defense and just how hard driving the offense is, how hard they are to guard and how many different ways they can come at you. It's it's historic stuff right now. It doesn't mean it's going to stay that way. But. If. if they had had a little bit more success last year, if they had got to the Western conference finals, you know what I mean?

Or even the finals or something like that. I, I think that people would be doing a better job of putting in proper context, just how nuts they are right now. I mean, they're, they're, they're first, as far as this season goes, the next closest to them point differential wise is the calves at like, I think it's like 10.6 or something. And so it's, they are, uh, way above the crowd on that.

And that doesn't mean everything, obviously. But this is a very, very scary team that has a very, very high floor because of how hard they play defense. And

It's hard to catch them on a night where you're not going to see them sleepy in the way that you would see some of those Paul George, Carmelo, Russ teams where they would show up and you'd just be like, you all know the game started like five minutes ago, right?

His... It's always... you always, I mean, I will forget it too sometimes because it was, I mean, it was just for a year and there were so many other, uh, issues going on with that. You know, you don't, yeah. And I mean, there, there's, you know, uh, Andre Robertson got hurt that year in a game in, uh, uh,

in Detroit, I think he broke, he either broke his leg or something with his knee or something like that. I think it was on like December 17th and up till that point, like the thunder were rolling. And then after that, just, it shouldn't have been the case, but Roberson was holding up the defense in ways that nobody understood at that point. And so, you know,
