    Considering there is no distractions this year, Really no westcoast traveling.

    No HomeCourt Advantage.

    Based on Facing the Lakers in the 2nd Round, and Possibly the Clippers in the Western Conf Finals?

    They can go as far as the refs want them to go. If they lose, it's not because the Thunder/Lakers/Clippers/whoever were better. It'll be because the refs cost them & made them lose. /cf

    :D

    Oh yes there is no GSW this year as well. We should have the advantage because of this.

    Im going to have to say if Houston Loses to Okc this year Harden and Westbrook will more likely be finding new homes , just a hence not possitive, maybe morey loves losing to the thunder where you threw your future for to win and to get better now as well to lose to.. Just saying lol.

    Harden ain’t going anywhere, Harden brings in way too much revenue. Also he is a huge ratings draw. That’s y the league puts him on the prime time Christmas Day and mlk showcase games. No harden no prime time games and lost money for Tillman from advertisers. If anything this pandemic will only convince me that harden will stay. Not sure about russ tho

    Harden is only gonna get traded if he asks for it, and even then they might not do it. Harden is arguably a top 2 player in the nba

    We can go all the way but I am worried about AD in round 2. Yes, they don't have anybody to guard harden/russ. I can know that, and still be worried about AD.

    I think they can get past the lakers but thats a big IF. Rockets have put Westbrook around him, but is it enough? Lebron is so good, and your talking about freaking AD over there..

    As far as Eric Gordon aka X factor, takes them.

    Judging by his initial performance, not very far.

    The ceiling was WC or Finals.

    Floor could be anything, 2nd round onwards.

    It's all dependent on Westbrook's health. If he is pretty close to 90%, all the way.

    Russ is our biggest variable and the one player that can take some of the pressure off Harden.
