Steve Kerr Analyzes OKC Thunder’s Historic 70-Plus Game Winning Start
The Oklahoma City Thunder have made headlines with their impressive start to the season, achieving a remarkable 20-1 record. This performance comes despite facing numerous injuries to key players. Among those missing games are All-NBA swingman Jalen Williams, sharpshooter Isaiah Joe, and defensive stalwarts Alex Caruso and Lu Dort.
Historic Start for the Thunder
This season, Oklahoma City has not only amassed 20 victories but also claims the best Defensive Rating and Net Rating in the league. If they maintain this pace, they could set records that surpass the historic 73-9 finish of the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors.
Steve Kerr’s Insights
In a recent pregame interview, Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors, shared his thoughts on the Thunder’s remarkable performance. “Overall a team mindset of zero agendas. Just win every night,” Kerr stated. He highlighted the importance of having smart players and a strong coaching foundation. “They’re on pace to shatter the record; it’s pretty remarkable what they’re doing,” he added.
Goals for the Season
The Thunder are currently four wins shy of matching Golden State’s 24-1 start. However, with the long-term postseason in mind, the team may prioritize rest and recovery as the regular season progresses.
- Best start in franchise history for Oklahoma City Thunder.
- 20 wins out of 21 games played this season.
- Currently leads the league in both Defensive and Net Ratings.
- Paced to break the NBA regular-season win record.
Upcoming Matches
The Thunder will enjoy a brief respite before welcoming the Dallas Mavericks for a pivotal showdown at the Paycom Center. This upcoming three-game week includes matches against two teams currently under .500.
As the season continues, fans are eager to see if the Oklahoma City Thunder can maintain their dominant performance and challenge the conventional trends of parity in the NBA.
