Nobody is beating them.

They are defending champions.

It's been 20 years since any team has won a ring who didn't win 40 before losing 20. As long as they do that and nobody else does, who gives a fukk how they looked in January?

EDIT: 03-04 Pistons and 05-06 Heat did it.
Been 8 years since a team went back to back. :pachaha:

You can't say "fuçk January" while citing a win-loss record that was built in November.

I'm saying "fukk January" because it's a speed bump for a team where every time the Thunder lose a game, it's a cause for action to trade everything for Giannis, where after every playoff L it was a sign to dump JDub, Chet, and 9 firsts for Giannis.

Say they did get Giannis and they win again. The following year when they lose 5 out of 8 during some stretch, then what?

You can criticize the overreactions, but the logic is still faulty, particularly when saying nobody will beat them because their record is XYZ at a certain point in the season and largely built on an even earlier month.

I think the holdup with all the Giannis trade talk is that other teams are trying to see Giannis' medicals
