So basically russ with a worse version of Durant would be 2nd in the west?

Really nikka? We all actin dumb about this?

First off, the two teams directly ahead of the thunder last season imploded this summer so thunder are automatically 4th at the least. \

When you see westbrook having a second superstar while also playing as competitively as he did this year you know they gonna win more than fukking 50 games.\

George actually fits with westbrook better than Durant did.

They plugged pretty much all of their weakest holes.

They are a better matchup for any of the elite teams.

They matchup with the spurs, rockets very well.

As someone who watched pretty much every single thunder game last year I can tell you 90% of the reason they ever lost:

Russ sits while thunder are in a comfortable lead

Garbage walks out onto the floor

Traffic cone lineup gets buttfukked on the court

6 minutes pass

Russ comes in down 10:ohlawd:

damn near everytime.


I dont see them getting less than 55.

60 is a very real possibility.

I don't see how what they've done is enough to keep up with a more fleshed out Houston offense. Westbrook has to work even more now that they got CP3 out there instead of Bev. If this new fella they got is as good defensively as they advertised him at the draft, they still only have so many bodies that can score. They still can't play Penes, who still is probably their 3rd or 4th best scorer.

Westbrook has exposed cp3's defense already several times.

Beverly is a wayyyyyy better defender than paul. Westbrook can play D if he wants to (he was drafted as defensive specialist.) so we'll see.

I'm not really worried bout cp3 at all. Harden will get shut down by robes again but now we have george and patterson to guard the other 3 pt bezerkers.

That series is gonna turn out a shyt ton different considering the thunder upgraded all of its weakest starters and houston has just gotten cp3 who could be hit or miss and could easily choke in the second as always.

The difference is a title (see: steph curry's first championship)
PG said his wanting to go to the lakers is Overstated. He would like to play at home, but if he sees a chance to win he wants to take that.
We don't actually know yet whether they can, we gotta see how russ and pg gel.

KD chose an easy road and knew it was. He's been fighting off the hate ever since. You can't stop someone who was being recruited all year to a team where you get free trophies, if they tried to recruit any teams superstars, they would've thought about it.

KD is obviously pretty soft. They were up 3-1, it's not like there was no chance at a finals appearance. And he's been proving how soft he is since he joined, especially this offseason where he's argued with children on the internet instead of enjoying his first ring.

Do the thunder have a thread on here?

They can be anywhere from 2nd best to 4th best team in the west. They may even make it to the WCF, no chance of winning though.

I think the thunder and the rockets are on the same plane. 2nd and 3rd best teams out west. Might be blasphemous but I think SA gonna take a step back they didnt improve over the summer. Rudy gay can be a nice addition but hes coming off an Achilles injury. Pau and manu a year older. They lost dedmon and simmons.

The ceiling is the WCF....

And the reason I say this is because I look at the Spurs weakness being an athletic opponent..Westbrook, Adams, George, Kanter, 2Pat, and pieces is enough to throw at the Spurs and wear them down over a hard fought seven

Thats what they did on Timmy's last playoff run and it worked.

Now the spurs are worse, I'd be shocked if it didnt happen again.
