This has SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS...

With another dominant victory over Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks 132-111, the Thunder move to 22-1 on the 2025-26 NBA season. But here's the catch -- they've achieved the best point differential per game in NBA history (+15.5) despite playing their starters the 18th most in the NBA. Gabriel Ebersole breaks down how coach Mark Daigneault has distributed minutes so far, how this affects the team in the NBA 2026 playoffs and later parts of the season. Also discussed: how Luka Dončić and LeBron James' Los Angeles Lakers, Victor Wembanyama's Spurs, Kevin Durant's Houston Rockets, Nikola Jokić's Nuggets, and Anthony Edwards' Timberwolves are heading the complete opposite direction.
