With KAT being out for a while with a torn meniscus, OKC looks like the favorite to claim the #1 seed in the West with about 20 games to go.
If they close the deal they'll be the rare #1 seed with low expectations as most people think it'll be the Nuggets or Clippers coming out of the West. I've seen a lot of love for the Lakers as well, even though they're sitting in the 9th slot. IDK why....I can only assume it's the Lebron effect.
Personally I'll be satisfied with a 2nd round appearance. I just don't think we'll be as easy an out as most experts think. We're 3-1 vs Denver; 2-0 vs Phoenix; 2-1 vs LA Clippers; and 2-2 vs Minnesota. The Lakers are the only playoff team that's had OKC's number (1-3).
