    Agreed, donuts will be a factor for the opponent because of his metador defense.

    JLin is the x-factor, as always. If he has a good game AND doesn't get inexplicably benched while in the process of having a good game, the Rox win. It's that simple. This is independent of whether you like him or don't like him.

    I don't either. He can't defend OKC bigs nor can he keep up with Durant who moves without the ball better than anyone not named LeBron.

    Only time I'd play him is if OKC goes small.

    I'm pretty sure the xfactor for the Rox are Lin and Asik. These 2 are complete game changers if either does well. Asik can monster defense and score in bunches. Lin can turn the pace around and score in bunches. These 2 literally initiates most of our 15-0 runs etc.

    Unless both Smith and TJones are in foul trouble, I doubt DMo will even get off the bench.
