OKC Thunder: TI editor power rankings week 11 – New Year, new leaf
Week 11 power rankings arrive at 2019 and teams closing in on the halfway mark. Check out where TI ranks the OKC Thunder along with all 30 teams.
With the start of 2019, the OKC Thunder and their opponents will enter the dog days of winter phase. This is the point in the season teams begin to feel the wear and tear of the season and are anxious to make it to the All-Star Break healthy.
The halfway mark looms and the trade deadline is approximately a month away. All-Star votes are flowing in despite some shall we say debatable first returns.
The return of Andre Roberson looms and the absence of Alex Abrines grows odder and odder. As for the power ranking list, there is a definitive break occurring at the top in both conferences and at the bottom of the East.
The trio of the Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors and OKC Thunder have seemingly created separation from 11 others chasing them. In the East, five squads are actively vying for the top spot while several teams in the Conference are dealing with drama, questions and speculation.
Without a doubt the ‘POP’ heard round the world’s Christmas tables was still occupying NBA fans minds and social forums.
But, speculation on a player who isn’t entering free agency for another full season took up the much of NBA talk TV and columns. It’s somewhat expected as the trade deadline is just a month away will offer plenty of fodder to feast on as teams jockey to tweak, improve, implode or shed money.
With that, I give you my week 11 power rankings list and opinions. The last slide provides the list of where National pundits and top bloggers ranked the OKC Thunder.
Let’s do it.
