Barring injuries, OKC is a lock to win the title.

Utah dealt the wrong big

I'm going to go ahead and leave this thread now.

You clearly haven't watched the Jazz or the thunder last year.

When Kanter was on the court the Jazz allowed 108.0 points per 100 possessions compared to only 94.7 points post All-Star break with Gobert on the floor – a difference of 13.3 points.
OKC averaged 109.6 points per 100 possessions with Kanter on the court.

That said, I do like OKC to win the title if everyone stays healthy and Kanter to can anchor the 2nd unit. His defense is really problematic.

Kanter is a better compliment to Gobert than Favors.

My point still stands.

Facts are facts. :sas1:
They were missing the 2nd best player in the world...

Team is incredibly top heavy. All they had for most of the year was Westbrook and Ibaka.

Once they got Kanter, they almost cracked the playoffs in the West. That should tell you how good they were without Durant.

They got no choice this year. Plus other than golden state and possibly the spurs, they're better than most teams on the west.
They have 2 top 5 players and plus Ibaka/Kanter. They have a loaded team. They should be the first seed but that defense is suspect
