    It isn't just you, but the Thunder need to actually start winning games. Nobody expects them to make the playoffs but they should distinguish themselves this season as a tough team to beat at home and win about 40 games. Otherwise, the huge amount of praise that KD, Sam Presti & Co. get from so many people (myself included) is overblown.

    I agree with that. We will see, though. Remember how well they were playing at the end of last season? I belive they had something like 5-game winning streak, while beating teams like San Antonio.

    They had the potential

    hmmm the definitely had the potential. they started on something like a nba-worst 1-30 record and then fired their coach and got Scott Brooks to take the reigns...after that towards the end of the season they were beating the likes of the Blazers, spurs, mavericks etc etc...

    if I remember right they went on something like a 5 game winning streak with Kevin Durant injured or something???

    Kevin Durant is gonna be the next LeBron James
    Russell Westbrook is gonna be the next Jason Kidd with monstrous dunking skills
    Jeff Green will be the next chris bosh-lite
    James Harden ---hmm...remember the last time two bigs went 1st pick and 2nd pick in the draft and the 1st big turned out to be a hall of famer while the 2nd big turned to be a major bust? All while the 3rd pick was a traditional shooting guard that became the GOAT? that 1st pick is blake griffin and 2nd pick will be the bust that will be hasheem thabeet. while harden won't be the next jordan(no one will ever be) he's gonna make the grizzlies the riducule of the nba for drafting thabeet over harden...

    Thunder Dynasty coming I sense? I really dont see anyone stopping them in a few years. Not even Portland although Portland will be a huge rival.
