In a span of eight games I’ve dropped Oklahoma from No. 2 to No. 9 and out of my top eight. The Thunder since early January rank as the third worst defensive team in the NBA along with lottery teams Phoenix and the NY Knicks. I would think tonight in Portland is a fairly important game with road games coming up against the trending LA Clippers and Utah Jazz following this one.
1 Golden State Warriors
2 Houston Rockets
3 Milwaukee Bucks
4 Toronto Raptors
5 Philadelphia 76’ers
6 Boston Celtics
7 Denver Nuggets
8 Indiana Pacers
