Did I also jinx Kyrie and the Celtics?

OKC is built for the playoffs. This regular season shyt don't matter. See the 2010-11 Miami Heat as an example.

But the Celtics regular season is important and is a testament to how Kyrie is better than Bron though, right? And that Bron can't close games

OKC is progressing slowly but surely.

The thing that prevents them from being an elite team is the lack of an offensive scheme. They're still figuring things out and will look like a completely different team every quarter.

If they can figure out how to involve Melo in the game outside of scoring then they'll be ready for the next step. He is the only member of the starting five that doesn't seem to have a niche.

Are the Thunder doing anything differently the past couple weeks that caused their turnaround?

They figured out their roles. Russ was trying to be too selfless and had to get back to his mvp shyt.

Melo spots up more and passes more. Pg focuses a bit more on defense and spotting up.

They also are just hitting their shots now. They shot some of the same shots at the start and just looked rusty as hell.

But now that theyve built up chemistry and learn where they each like to shoot from or when they feel comfortable getting the ball its alot easier for them.

offensively melo has stated in the last few weeks he has accepted his role as being mostly just a floor spacer, and is focusing on just doing his best in that role. so they are doing less ISOs for him. melo and PG seem to be more comfortable and confident in where they are getting shots.

russ is being russ, but actually making some shots now. the rotations are little better. i really like that huestis is getting minutes with the starters.
