The thunder were really lucky to essentially have health for the past several years. And once that injury bug strikes...many fall victim. Looking like OKC is starting this year off terribly... #DuranttoHOU
They weren't "lucky" when WB went down and did decently without him. I believe the Thunder will stumble without KD because he's the one guy that must be on the floor. He makes Coach Bonehead's basic playground of an offense work.
05-06 Rockets were pretty bad, I think we made it a game or two before the first major injury though.
OKC will slip, but WB is going to explode. It will be rough in the beginning as WB has to figure out how teams will stack up against him. But I think OKC will figure it out and play great ball until KD returns. First 10 games will be challenging though.
Still not as bad as the pacers; they won't have west, hill, or Watson for a while in addition to pg13
i dont think its irony its perhaps kinda subte pointer to the truth...in my personal life i was always the healthiest when i was the least cautious....sometimes the more cautious you get the less healthy you become....its called the law of reverse effect in psychology i think...
This isn't an overreaction to their game last night. I'm just looking at their roster. They're in the west... It's somewhat easy for them to overcome the loss of Westbrook. Durant? Not so much. The Kings have a better roster right now. OKC is't exceptionally well coached. They're going to bad this year until Durant gets back. Not sure why the media is sliding them in projected 2nd or 3rd. This is the west, man. Slaughterhouse. Westbrook appears to be visibly happy he's not playing alongside Durant right now. Lol.
