That's what I'm saying. They dominate in the regular season only to run into a fully healthy OKC in the 1st round
I believe they'll both be back mid December. By then they could be buried at the bottom of the conference though. If they are 5-17 or something like 4-22, it could be hard for them to come back and win the 50 games it will likely take to make the playoffs in the stacked West. But if they do, they will be rolling and I doubt any of the top seeds would want any part of them so early
