ESPN’s Bold Prediction For Oklahoma City Thunder In 2024

The Oklahoma City Thunder looked like the best team in the Western Conference for large swaths of the 2023-24 NBA season.

Unfortunately, when the playoffs rolled around – their lack of postseason experience showed.

Because of that, many have wondered how they will look in 2024.

This week Zach Lowe, who was fired by ESPN under dubious circumstances a few days, offered this bold prediction on the Thunder.

“I’m going all exclamation points on the Oklahoma City Thunder,” Lowe said.

“They loaded up during the offseason. Isaiah Hartenstein, swiped him from the Knicks. Alex Caruso, swiped him from the Bulls. They both fill needs. They both add depth. I will be surprised if the Thunder are not the No. 1 seed in the West. Very surprised.

“They are built to win a ton of regular-season games. And they’ll be a tough playoff team too. Playoffs are just a different animal for a young team. They are going to be a dominant regular-season team.”

Will Lowe’s prediction for the Thunder prove accurate? Time will tell.
