The Thunder's current performance is nothing short of insane—they're undefeated at 7-0, and they've achieved this without Jalen Williams. SGA is averaging nearly 34 points per game, charging toward his goal of defending his MVP title. The team's victories look effortless, as if they've "forgotten how to lose."

Meanwhile, the Pelicans are mired in a 0-6 slump, with zero team chemistry. Despite Zion Williamson's decent individual play, the squad seems lost and frustration is mounting. Head coach Willie Green could become the first manager fired this season.

The Nets are another 0-6 team, their defense a complete non-entity—even head coach Jordi Fernandez has admitted responsibility lies with him. Opponents are shooting over 52% against Brooklyn (worst in the league), a dire situation. While the young players are giving it their all, Brooklyn is in for a long season.
