After the Oklahoma City Thunder won the 2025 NBA championship, many wondered if they would have a championship hangover. A few weeks into the 2025-26 NBA season, they have proved they most certainly don’t. The Thunder are putting to bed any doubts regarding their youthful age. As a result, Draymond Green finds similarities between this team and the Golden State Warriors squad that went 73-9. “When I look at this team, 8-0, you start thinking of our 2016 team that won 73 games,” Green said on The Draymond Green Show. “They just have it figured out, and you’ve got to give them credit.” Green recorded this episode of his podcast before the Thunder picked up their first loss, yet the sentiment remains the same. Although their start to the season has been dominant, it’s far from how great that Warriors group was. Golden State began the 2015-16 season 24-0. However, Green’s comparison isn’ t strictly regarding the Thunder’s success but their attitude in their games. Green highlighted the glaring similarities he sees between this year’s Thunder and the 73-win Warriors. “Great depth on both teams. When you compare their team to our 2016 team, both have a great, incredible numero uno in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander like Steph Curry.” “Chet [Holmgren] playing both ends of the floor, anchoring the defense. When J-Dub comes back, having an incredible number two. Hartenstein, think about Andrew Bogut and what he brought to the team. A lot of similarities,” he continued. At the same time, he’s also impressed by the depth and the talent coming off the bench. “Aaron Wiggins coming off the bench. Caruso coming off the bench. Reminds me a lot of Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston coming off the bench. “When you look at both teams, do they have any holes? I don’t know that they have many holes. I think they have the ability to put together an all-time regular season when you talk about their championship experience, pedigree, and their youth,” Green proclaimed. The scary aspect of Green’s comments is that this year’s version of the Thunder may not even be the best rendition we see in the coming years. Their core will only get better, similarly to the Warriors of the 2010s.” Despite Green’s high level of praise, he doesn’t view OKC as unbeatable. He will certainly do his best to dethrone the reigning champions, as the Warriors look to return to the NBA’s mountaintop. That matchup between those two teams will come soon, as they will face off on November 11 in Oklahoma City. 奧克拉荷馬城雷霆隊奪得2025年NBA總冠軍後，許多人都在猜測他們是否會陷入「總冠軍 倦怠期」。而在25-26賽季開打數週後，這支球隊用行動證明，他們絕對沒有出現這種狀 況。雷霆隊也憑藉穩定的發揮，打消了外界對他們年輕隊伍經驗不足的質疑。 Green在《The Draymond Green Show》中表示：「看到這支球隊開局取得8勝0負的戰績， 我就不禁想到16年那支拿下73勝的球隊。他們顯然已經摸透了獲勝的訣竅，這一點必須給 予他們讚賞。」 Green錄製這集播客時是在雷霆隊吞下首敗之前但他的看法依然相同。儘管雷霆隊開局表 現強勢，但與當年那支勇士隊的統治力仍有差距，畢竟勇士隊在15-16賽季曾開局取得24 連勝。不過，Green的對比並非僅限於兩隊的戰績，更側重於他們在比賽中展現出的態度。 Green具體指出了本賽季雷霆隊與那支73勝勇士隊之間顯而易見的相似點：「兩支球隊都 具備極佳的深度。將這支雷霆隊與勇士對比會發現雙方都有一位頂級核心，SGA就如同當 年我們隊中的Steph Curry。Chet Holmgren在進攻和防守兩端都有出色發揮，是球隊防守 體系的核心。當Jalen Williams傷癒歸隊後，雷霆隊還將擁有一位實力頂尖的二當家。至 於Hartenstein，他的作用讓人想到當年的Andrew Bogut，兩人都為球隊帶來了至關重要 的貢獻，這樣的相似點還有很多。Aaron Wiggins和Caruso從替補席出戰時的表現讓我不 禁想起當年的Andre Iguodala和Shaun Livingston從板凳上為勇士隊提供的幫助。」 Green宣稱：「仔細觀察這兩支球隊，你會發現他們幾乎沒有明顯短板。考慮到雷霆隊擁 有總冠軍經驗、優良的球隊傳統以及年輕的陣容，我認為他們有能力打出一個足以載入 史冊的常規賽賽季。」 Green的評論中還有一個令人側目的點：本賽季的雷霆隊還不是未來幾年裡最強的版本。 他們的核心陣容還在不斷成長，這與2010那支不斷進步的勇士隊極為相似。 儘管對雷霆隊給予了高度評價，但Green並不視雷霆隊為不可戰勝的。目前金州勇士隊希 望重返NBA的巔峰，作為隊中一員Green肯定會盡全力幫助球隊擊敗衛冕冠軍。而這兩支球 隊的正面對決將於11月12日在奧克拉荷馬城展開較量。 來源:https://reurl.cc/8b3lAb 心得:拿出73勇比 Green對雷霆期望很高 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.231.114.89 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://webptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1762584225.A.8A0.html
