    With Perk and Ibaka sky is the limit for this team. IMO they can EASILY make it to the WCF. They have talent, they know what to expect now and Westbrook is a top 3 PG's in the NBA now.

    I love this team and I hope Durant will have breakout playoffs.

    Isn't this premature? If OKC wins and Dallas loses, Dallas plays Denver.

    I know the idea of the Hornets winning in Dallas tonight is laughable, but just thought I'd mention it.

    Yeah, this matchup isn't set and I can see Dallas preferring to battle Denver/SA as opposed to OKC/LA. I'm hoping to see the OKC/LA matchup actually. Darn you Chuck Hayes.....

    OKC had the tie-breaker over Dallas because of being a division winner. Moot point now. The Thunder are where they want to be.

    Oops I accidentally voted for Nuggests in 5. But I mean to click on Thunder in 5. Let's look at teh matchups position by position.

    PG - Westbrook/Maynor vs. Lawson/Felton
    Slight advantage for Thunder

    SG - Safalosha/Harden vs. Afflalo/Smith
    Slight advantage for Nuggest

    SF - Durant/Cook vs. Galinari/Chandler
    Advantage Thunder

    PF - Ibaka/Collison vs. Martin/Harrington
    Slight advantage for Thunder

    C - Perkins/Mohammed vs. Nene/Anderson
    Slight advantage for Nuggets (I think Nene is really good)

    Overall: Advantage Thunder

    OKC all the way.. i like that team a lot and Durant/Westbrook are amazing together.

    I wanna see them in the WCF at least... theyll need to get past those spurs though... itll be tough.

    denver is strong inside to compete with okc bigs and they obviously have a nice point guard themselves. but they don't have a durant

    Harden > Nuggets SF's

    Perkins/Mohammed > Nene/Anderson


    I agree with everything else other than I think OKC has more than a "slight advantage" at pg.

    I've got some money on the old Thunders to win it all. 12 to 1 I think. Let's go Thunder!

    I also put some on the Rockets, didn't quite work out...:(
