    I guess you don't think the Rockets are any better than last year.

    Wrong!

    Maybe OKC can take a game or two.

    Problem is Rox gained Dwight, they gained Adams and company...

    So the doubt is justifiable no doubt.

    Dwight>Asik is true against most teams, but not the Thunder. It would take a HUGE string of games from Harden for the Rockets to beat the Thunder even without Westbrook. Also Durant is WAAAYYYY better than he was last year.

    Houston does not match up with OKC. I don't care if that's with Westbrook or without him. What gives you any thought that Houston can compete with OKC, let alone beat them in a seven-game series??

    I think Dwight will step it up in the playoffs. His career playoff averages are pretty sick.

    I am stunned the small consensus here is OKC would still beat the Rockets in a 7-game series without WB. With him, it's a very bad match up for several reasons. Without him, I believe the Rockets would eventually learn how to dial into KD and OKC's offense would go stale at key times.

    I think you guys are giving the Thunder way too much respect.
