What I will say is this.
It's really hard to repeat.
Yeah.
It's really, really hard to repeat.
I think the Thunder will win 67 games this year.
But a team that I think is not getting nearly enough respect, and I think probably people who are in the know are giving them respect, but the casual fans are not, is the Denver Nuggets.
What the Denver Nuggets have done, first of all, they took the Thunder to seven.
And in game either five or six, I forget which one it was, Denver was up 10 points in the fourth quarter, and they just melted in the sun.
And the Thunder found a way to win that game.
There's a realistic chance that Denver, even as shallow as their team was last year, could have gone to the finals.
So you add Bruce Brown back into the mix, Brucie Brown, Brucie B, as Michael Malone used to call him.
You add another center because the on-off minutes for Jokic have been horrendous.
And Jonas Valanciunas, they said, take your ass away from Greece.
You're coming into this team and you're going to play.
Yeah.
You get Cam Johnson, who I think Cam Johnson is going to change everything about this team.
A lot of people think it's just like a better Michael Porter Jr.
They don't play the same at all.
He's an incredible passer.
He cuts without the basketball a lot, and he's going to open things up for the perimeter.
