As things look right now, OKC Thunder will probably end up making the playoffs as 8th seed with PHX and SAC looking like their going to f*ck up the lead they've been handed on OKC so far. Rest of the teams are probably good enough to keep OKC behind them the rest of the regular season.
If that happens no team will want to win their conference and be rewarded with that beast of a team in the first round.

OKC as the 8th seed would be hilarious.

By far the scariest 8th seed of all time.

Never will a team be so disappointed to have the 1 seed.

8 seed champion? Durant would be GOAT if he pulls it off.

We're going to see the biggest scramble ever to avoid an 8th/7th seed.

In the toughest conference of all time nonetheless.

Would surpass Hakeem's GOAT run.

Knicks were an 8th seed when they made a run to the Finals in 99. But that was a shortened season. They had chemistry issues to start but they got hot at the right time. Could you imagine if OKC made it out if this impossible West as the 8th seed? :eek: They would dominate the Bulls or Cavs. Bulls have great defense but depending on Gasoft and Jimmy Buckets for offense will be their downfall. Meanwhile the Cavs couldn't stop the ISH team.

No one wants to see a red hot Lakers team in the 1st round. I agree OP.

Yeah whoever comes out of the East is going to get dominated regardless.

I'd love to see OKC sweep whoever it is.
