Who thinks we could win a 7-game series with OKC starting tomorrow?

And unfortunately, Sefolosha's won't be against Harden

 

I think we can win.....let durant score 50 points, but make sure others dont score....who is their legit scorer consistently after durant?

 

With or without Westbrook, something has changed for the better for OKC this year. To me that thing is that Durant is playing like a man possessed, and I don't just mean scoring - he's stepped up his D too. He looks like a man who is absolutely determined to win a title this year. Last year in the playoffs, the Westbrook thing was a surprise to him and he wasn't quite ready to shoulder the burden himself (mostly) - this year he is.

 

They are way ahead of the Rockets. They have played together for several years, have arguably one of the two or three best players in the world, an excellent bench (much better than ours), and they play defense. I think we lose a seven game series to them now, but maybe not later. The Rockets have matured a little, but they have a long way to go and they need a piece or two. I like our chances in seven against anybody else in the West.

 

I feel like this year they are better without Westbrook because Durant gets the ball more.

 

Yeah me too, I'm not saying it will be easy but we could do it in 7.

 

I think we have a better chance @ beating the Spurs than OKC..

 

Nevermind OKC. This Rockets team would struggle to even put the Clippers away in 7.

 

I'll go against the grain and say that we COULD. Not saying we WOULD, but it's possible. I think OKC would be favored but like Bill Simmons was saying, we have a lot of guys who can go off and have huge games, which adds a lot more variance into the series.

Adding onto that, we took them to 6 games last season without Dwight and pretty much the same young crew but a year younger and less experienced. So that bodes well IMO.

 

IF, IF all our guys are healthy and the rust is removed from Asik - Yes, I think we could. It's highly likely we would not advance - but I could see it happening.

 

Asik isn't going to get much better this season. It takes an entire training camp, to get someone into game shape. Omer has obviously been sitting on a sofa watching games on TV while he rehabbed his "injury".

 

Taking OKC to 6 games had more to do with Westbrook being out than last season's team being any good.

 

We are far behind OKC. At best we might be able to reach the 2nd round of the playoffs depending on the matchup.

 

Nope we need Westbrook to get healthy. Our only chance right now is for him to beat himself while taking away shots from the rest of the OKC team.

 

LA Lakers - injury-riddled D-league team putting it on OKC. Don't tell me about RW being out. Everyone is out for LA. OKC sucks. They just gear up for the rox since we have Harden and Bev took out RW last year.

edit:

OKC did win, but barely. Pathetic.

 

dafuq

OKC would beat us right now, but I'm taking both Harden and Dwight over Westbrook.

 

Westbrook isn't healthy for a 7-game series that starts tomorrow, bro...

 

Hell Yeah!

 

No way. Durant is unstoppable right now. We'll probably lose on the 7th game.
