In the week seven power rankings the pundits seem a little antsy to reward the OKC Thunder for their efforts. Each of the lists moved the team up, but cautiously so. In all fairness with OKC failing to be consistent at least on the offensive end, it’s understandable why the pundits need more proof.
CBS – Chris Barnewell and The Crossover’s Kenny Ducey haven’t bought into the hype all season. The rest seemingly are afraid to drop the Thunder too far down the list, but also hesitant to raise them too high. In fairness until the Thunder showcase consistency over a long period of time it’s unlikely the scribes will reward them with a top 10 rank (except Grant Hughes).
