    Maybe. But not justifiably so. With no CP3 we should not be favourites.

    Ha. @ me tomorrow if I’m wrong but a 2 to 1 payout for OKC is very generous.

    Someone has to stop Paul George, otherwise it will be a very ugly game.

    Clark, House and Green. As bad as Ennis plays on offense, he is by far the best defender out of those guys mentioned earlier and would have been the ideal choice.

    Austin Rivers will probably have a great game to surprise everyone who expects him to be rusty and in need of time to learn the system. This season I’m sticking with expecting the unexpected.

    PG has been crazy good the last 2 weeks on offense and he's always been stellar on defense. He's definitely in the MVP convo this year if their team can secure a top seed. Russ has actually been bad and looks like he's declining on the offensive end but he might get hyped because he's playing against Harden, he usually does. Just remember that game last year when we were already locked for the 1st seed but the Thunder came into town and Westbrook played more defense that game than he has ever played all of last season.

    Thunder has much better depth this year too. They got Noel for basically free and Schroder from the Melo trade. Adams seems to be having a good season too and we all know how Capela shrinks versus physical bigs but at least in today's practice interview, Capela admitted he's aware he has to step up for this game so here's hoping.

    In the end, if Harden doesn't have a stellar night, we probably lose.

    How many assists can he give? Knight zero assist for sure. We can use house as starter if we do not have confidence. We need caplea and tucker to grab more rebounds to win

    Not just assists. No Victor Dipo for sure either. He is a minor scorer first and foremost IMO.
