Will the San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder change how the Boston Celtics teambuild?
Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals between the Thunder and Spurs were something of a wake-up call.
Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs were something of a wake-up call for the other 28 ball clubs in the NBA. With what we saw from star Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama (and in the face of what the Thunder put together behind freshly-crowned 2026 NBA Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander), a lot of front offices are shifting gears when it comes to building a contender. And we can count the Boston Celtics among those teams that will adjust how they look to build the next iteration of their roster, with the point of view in Boston that it is titles or bust.
That could mean some major changes to the team over the next season or two, starting as soon as this offseason. The hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" sat down with Thunder Wire editor Clemente Almanza to talk it all over. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about how the Thunder and the Spurs are changing the Celtics contention plans.
