NBA Power Rankings: OKC Thunder and peers jockey for position
2. team. 41. . 50-23. Previous: 1st. Golden State Warriors
An odd time to have to play five games in one week but this is how the schedule makers set up the Dubs itinerary for this week. They came out with more wins than losses and also added a bit of fodder for the masses who keep trying to invent reasons why this team is in turmoil behind the scenes.
Steve Kerr even added to it via his comments the lip readers pinned to angst over Draymond Green. Then again, I recall an article citing how Draymond Green would stop practices to discuss defensive issues going back to Kerr’s inaugural season as their coach, so it’s not like Kerr isn’t fully aware of who and what Draymond is to this team.
