    The Thunder took the 2 time champs to 6 games and probably should have gone to 7 last year, have a top 5 player in the league, a rising star in Jeff Green at PF and one of the best pguards in the game....overrated???

    Look, the Thunder are a very talented team that if they stay healthy could be devastating to deal with. In the end, however, it is all about matchups and how they playout.

    I'm a KD fan but I'm still not convinced with his ability to become a full all out contender for GOAT status. He gets exposed easily by tough defenders... he loses the ball way too often when he tries to drive in.

    We've been equally overrated compared to the Thunder.

    Isn't this what they said about the Portland Trailblazers? What about the Hornets a couple of years back?

    Look, the THunder have a fatal flaw: they don't have a low post threat. Until they get that elite big man there's no way the Thunder will be a legit contender, only MJ was able to win without a big man...and he had Pippen, PJ and the rest of the the Jordanaires backing him up.

    Don't look that different to me. Was muscular before, is muscular now. The guy can ball, of course. I just doubt that any change in muscle will be the cause of dramatic improvement in game.

    I wouldn't say they're more improved that the Miami HeatS.

    Oh, wait, you think they're OVERrated?? They're being discussed quite a bit but I'd still say they're underrated.

    While I do believe they are being somewhat overrated, I do also project them to about 52 wins in the fifth seed. They may give the Lakers fits if given the chance and they are clearly better than the current age Spurs, Blazers, and the current Suns imo.

    Are they better than us, Utah, Dallas or Denver? Not sure. I don't think there is anybody who could say right now.

    All I can say for sure is out of anyone they better hope they don't run into us in the playoffs. We eat this team alive even without Yao.

    Yeah, seems pretty similar to me, also in terms of how they are viewed by the national media.

    Like the Blazers of a couple years ago, they are being ranked primarily on potential which they may or may not fulfill. High ceiling, high risk.

    nobody is saying they're championship contenders so i don't know how they're overrated. they'll be really good and that's what people have been saying.

    kevin durant may be getting a "little" overrated b/c people jumped off lebron's bandwagon and hopping on his.

    Who said anything about that? Lol. That's not a serious discussion even if a few people bring it up.

    I got so many awkward looks when I got scrolling through those Serge Ibaka pics. But...Thunder overrated? Two words, Kevin Durant.
