    if they could ever get it together, thats not an ideal first round matchup compared to the clippers and spurs for sure, but they have no reason to fear anyone. they will respect the rockets, even though they will never come out and say it, but when you have two superstars, and 3 all-stars all in their prime.... lol

    plus the thunder will probably never put it all together long enough to be a real threat. if they win out and finish on a 5 game win streak, they officially become dangerous though. they will have their confidence back big time if they win tonight. I dont want them either way though. they match up pretty well with us and pisses me off how golden state constantly gets easy matchups. they somehow avoid every team that could possibly give them some kind of challenge every year, or they face an injured team. :mad:

    Curry completely owns Westbrook most of time they play.

    people need to stop overrating and overhyping OKC...there is no reason to fear them, they are not that good...they have their current record for a reason...they’re not even a .500 team since the ASB

    they are a bipolar/inconsistent team, so maybe in a game or 2 they could be really tough, but at the end of the day, I expect GS would beat them in 5, same with HOU

    As long as Westbrick is allowed to run the show, no team will fear OKC.
