OKC Thunder forward Chet Holmgren weighs in on 'NBA Weak Link Era' conversation

After two days off, the Thunder returned to the practice court. They were the first team to advance to the second round after they swept the Memphis Grizzlies in a 117-115 Game 4

The Oklahoma City Thunder (and the Seattle Supersonics before them) have 51 jersey numbers worn by the players who have suited up for the franchise since its founding at the start

During his time suiting up for the Nets, MacLean wore only jersey No. 24 and put up 10.9 points and 3.8 rebounds per game.

Oklahoma City’s first round series against the Grizzlies went about as well as anyone could’ve hoped for. Similar to last year’s opening series against the Pelicans, the Thunder cruised to a sweep and will now be rewarded with a week of rest.

That said, the Thunder should prefer the Clippers to move on to Round 2. Leonard and Harden are a scary duo to face, but OKC is equipped with the right perimeter defenders to slow them down. Zubac has had a career season, but Hartenstein is the perfect counterpart against him on the boards and inside the paint.

The OKC Thunder will face either the Denver Nuggets or the Los Angeles Clippers in the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs.

The Oklahoma City Thunder await their second round matchup in the NBA Playoffs as the Denver Nuggets and LA Clippers. Who should the Thunder hope to see?
