Oklahoma City Thunder vs Boston Celtics
If there was one team in the Western Conference that could dethrone the Golden State Warriors and give the San Antonio Spurs a run for their money, it has to be the Oklahoma City Thunder. Sitting in third place in the West with a 45-22 record, there’s no chance the Thunder sneak into the top three, but they’ll be scary in the playoffs.

Kevin Durant was named the NBA MVP two years ago for a reason and he’s still at the top of the league, in terms of talent. He’s averaging 28 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. Russell Westbrook is a nice complementary piece as the two are the scariest pair in the league. Russ is averaging 24 points, 10.4 assists and 7.4 rebounds per game.
The Boston Celtics are one of the best and most improved teams in the NBA this year, posting a 39-27 record and sitting in third place in the Eastern Conference. Barring a miracle, there’s no way the Celtics move up to a No. 2 or No. 1 seed in the NBA playoffs, but the fact that this young team made this drastic of an improvement speaks volumes to Brad Stephens’ coaching ability.
Isaiah Thomas has proven to be one of the most key additions to any team over the past couple of seasons. The pint-sized point guard is averaging 21.9 points and 6.6 assists per game and he’s a big reason why the Celtics are so successful this season. Young guys like Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder, Jared Sullinger, Kelly Olynyk and Marcus Smart make the future very bright in Boston.
