    When the time is right, I will be more than happy to say that I'm wrong.

    But it's still way too early to say that they are in the clear to a playoff spot at this point.

    If at the end of January they are sitting 3+ games up in the playoffs, I'll have no problem saying that I'm wrong.

    At this point, what I'm more wrong about is not my view of OKC, but it's my view that they'd have competition at the 50 win marker.

    They're a half game back with a top 4 caliber team that's now healthy. The question at this point isn't whether they'll make the playoffs but how high of a seed can they get.

    You were hilariously wrong. Just own it and we can all move on.

    I realize it's one game and there's still a lot of need to LIPO, but with Durant's ankle injury tonight, combined with Golden State coming back from a MASSIVE 1st quarter deficit tonight, who knows what will happen going forward.

    I will definitely say that a healthy KD looks like he's on a mission.

    Just stop. It was a close loss against the Warriors without Durant for the second half. The Thunder are a top 4 team in the league and have been for about 5 years now.

    My Clippers?

    I like watching them - but I've never been a Clipper fan or anything more than an observer of them. Same concept that I have with Golden State - who has grown up and learned to play some defense which makes them a legit contender in the West.

    It's Golden State right now that looks like they are the biggest threat to San Antonio.

    I know you aren't an actual Clippers fan, but you chose them to sweep Golden State last year and beat the Thunder. Then you called them a contender before this season. OKC is making the playoffs. KD and Westbrook are coming back any day, Westbrook maybe as early as Friday.

    If the Suns were just 5-5 in their last 10 games instead of 7-3, they'd still be on a 46-47 win pace. They lost to the Clippers this week in a game where Blake made a 3 at the buzzer to win by 1 on a shot where he got a bounce that you'd get maybe 1 out of 1,000 shots.

    It's a little premature to say that I was wrong. There's still a lot of things that can happen during the year.

    I'm still not convinced that you're not going to have another team get into the 47+ win range to compete for a playoff spot. OKC's margin for error still isn't high IMO.

    They're 12-14 now. They make the playoffs barring more injuries. Teams like the Suns and Rockets are chumps they can probably pass at this point. I hope I'm wrong as the Blunder are a joke and F Okies etc.
