We dealt them one of those 10 losses.
 
Not impressed with OKC at all. Yeah I know they won easily tonight against the Lake show, but losing Harden has hurt them big time. Kevin Martin is not anywhere close to filling JH's shoes. They are worse than last year. Miami should cruise in the finals.

I'll regurgitate Charles Barkley's thoughts on this. Match-up wise, I think that there are two teams that could knock them off - San Antonio and Memphis. The problem is, I don't see either of them getting past the Thunder in the West.

I believe Indiana has a tiny chance against them in the playoffs too.

I think it's a forgone conclusion Miami will win it all, I don't think any team can beat them in a 7 game series unless there's a serious injury or something.

I'm so confused. Not impressed at all? 44-16? Third best record in the NBA? On pace to win 60 games? What DOES impress you? Just because Miami is going to win the championship, doesn't mean OKC isn't a great team. I guess you'll never be impressed with the Blazers.

Russell Westbrook is at least the NBA's 4th best player. Maybe 3rd.

That guy needs to put down the weed....

I think it is unwise to underestimate San Antonio. They are deeper than before and good, as always.
 
Honestly, I get the feeling that OKC will never win a championship with Westbrook AND Durant. They're both #1 options.

What impresses me? Their team last year impressed me. Even losing to Miami they impressed me as being the team to beat in the West. I thought they were dominant with their three headed monster of Westbrook, Durant and Harden.

They are not nearly as intimidating as last year. Watching a soft Kevin Martin throw up air balls last night, vs having a strong James Harden attacking the basket is a huge difference. Hey I realize they are still one of the best teams in the league, but they have taken a big step backwards IMO. They are beatable in the West this year. Last year I did not think they were.
 
Okc will never win a title. The bad karma following them will forever ruin any chance they get. Plus Westbrook thinks he is Durants equal.
 
What bad karma? They've had nothing but good fortune since moving.
 
I don't know how many of ya'll were watching the Bucks/Clippers game, but Griffin just threw down what may be the dunk of the year on a between the legs pass from Crawford... that's a highlight ya'll will want to check out...

DId I just see that the Lakers came back to win that game!!!!!! Holy shit!
 

The dunk itself would be nothing special if Griffin were just making that play on the break himself, but that pass and the quick reaction by Griffin to windmill it made it the best dunk I've seen so far this season. I'm not sure I've seen anyone try an alley-oop like that in a game before.

4th FTAs = Lakers 7 vs Pelicans 0!

I didn't watch it, because I was watching the Portland/Memphis game, but that's not too uncommon. Veteran players know how to get the fouls and how to not draw them when it matters. I'm just not sold on the LA conspiracy theories.
