Jason Timpf continues his ranking of the top 20 teams in the NBA heading into the 2023-24 season with No. 10, the Oklahoma City Thunder. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander emerging into a superstar, and 2022 2nd overall pick Chet Holmgren making his NBA debut this year, Jason believes the Thunder will be a top 4 team in the Western Conference this season.

OMG WE MADE THE LIST
Great breakdown brother!!! Super exited for my ball club this season!!!
Got a really goofy sleepover vibe from todays outfit
I dont think average fans understand the Thunder WILL be this good this season. I dont expect them to even be in the play-in tournament (Top 6 in the west)
Glad you're also super high on this team.
Smart man talks about my team for an hour.
Mailbag question: Who were the ten teams you left off the ranking, and why did you leave them off?
pretty surprised you have the cavs this high. you were low on them heading into the playoffs, and sadly looks like you were right. are you that excited about Strus and Niang for shooting? looking forward to that episode
Excellent analysis
Mailbag: Rank Shai, Booker and Tatum purely as players right now (not counting their previous team and playoff success)
This Thunder hype is getting ridiculous. They'll be a play in team again.
Top 10 nba team? Hell noā¦. SGA superstar? Hell no. I need to see him play games that mean something. Your take is not far fetched but pump your breaks š
Great info! Ive been getting thrown off the last couple videos seeing you without a hat lol
This will age terribly
I think the Thunder are going to be the Kings of last year. Might get a top 4 seed and be a tough out in the playoffs. I thin they have a lot more potential than the Kings though.
I dunno know about anyone else, but am I the only one who doesn't know which Jalen/Jaylin Williams he is talking about? Shouldn't the league do something about this, can't have two tall dudes with the same English pronunciation on the same team. I am sure one of them has a middle name.
Canāt wait for the overrated Thunder to underperform, one of the most overrated futures Iāve ever seen
Mailbag question: I was wondering why you did not made even one episode on fiba world cup, just like analysis, what are the differences in the game – or the final 4 teams? List of the options:
Audience will not be interested ,
You are not interested ,
or it takes time to get to know teams.
Mailbag: i see alot of comparisons of this okc and the kd , russ okc . Is there a valid comparison there? Can this team be better?
this dude has the thunder over the mavs lmao, pure nonsense
Hey Jason, super grateful for your insightful advice on that!
I also really deeply love to be active with my wife, and, heeding your consult, i will refrain from any other physical activity outside of that. Wouldnt want to jeopardise being active with my wife. Thanks again!
It seems about time we all learn how to pronounce those Slavic names.
Iām surprised the Clippers made the top 9
I would say SA likely would have beat GS if it wasnāt for Zaza injuring KL. That gave Toronto the confidence to trade for KL because they had a better team and saw a window to win even if KL wasnāt going to resign. So you have to give them props for having the balls to pull off a trade like that knowing GS was the juggernaut it was.
I also wanna highlight that Presti is gonna run back the 3 PG showcase he had a few years ago, but with Dub and Shai being wing builds and itās gonna be hilariously deadly
Mailbag question: Why aren't you wearing a hat? (Just kidding)
Let's go this is the one I've been waiting for! My favorite team to watch RN
Stop it Jason, you sound crazy on the Kyrie/Steph topicā¦nobody stopping Kyrie from getting to any spot on the floor ššÆ
The thunder not better than Memphis
In jaylin Williams defense he was def better than ppl expected on c&s
Colin Cowherd almost stole my soul
This dude is crazy, bookmark for freezing cold takes
