The Thunder have 9 guys active for the firs ttwo games of the season (back to back)

2 of those guys are Sebastion Telfar and Lance Thomas. Ugh, if they win 1 of these games it will be a miracle.

Hey, but those guys are potential all stars.

Luckily they made the right move putting Adams in the starting lineup. Just need to get to 500 till KD/Morrow/McGary get healthy. Hopefully Jackson/Lamb only miss the first two games.

I would be a happy man if I owned Westbrook in a fantasy league this year.
 
OKC is killed with injuries, it will be a miracle if they're .500 this month.

At least Adams is starting though.
 
Every year some type of excuse is made.

I actually want Durant to win. But, if he doesn't in OKC, he will in Washington. Bank on it.

I'm not sure winning a championship or not will affect his decision all that much.

The only thing that will matter is how much he wants to go back home.

If he really wants to go back then nothing is going to stop him.

I'm really not sure how an objective basketball fan cannot see how injuries have derailed the last two OKC seasons.

You lost with Ibaka on the floor last year....what's the excuse?
 
Yup...Ibaka was healthy last year. Not like spotting them 2 games meant anything. You guys are awesome.

When Ibaka came back and went nuts in his first game, YOU went nuts saying OKC would win. What happened after that?

Can't have it both ways, bruh.

Problem is that you have no basis of knowing how Ibaka normally moves when he is healthy since you don't want OKC play. He had a nice game in game 3 but tapered off in game 4 and was clearly hurt in games 5&6. Do you think a guy comes back from that injury as quickly as he did without any issues? Come on man...its so obvious that Ibaka was playing at a shell of himself after game 3. There is a reason OKC has dominated the Spurs since game 3 of 2012 prior to the series last year.

And again, you don't think spotting them a 2-0 game lead meant anything?
 
Maybe the Spurs adjusted? Something OKC doesn't do, ever....

It was 2-2, so it was a 3 game series with Ibaka playing. I don't see the exuse....also you lost by 100 in game 5.

Did you watch how much of a joke games 1&2 were? you think thats how it would have played out with a healthy Ibaka?
 
Who knows? I don't think Ibaka is worth the 30 point swing or whatever it was....they also got destroyed WITH Ibaka in Game 5. Spurs were the better team, better built, better coached, better.

OKC had no excuses....even without Ibaka, they had the best 2 players on the court and still got destroyed. KD and RW couldn't win a game? Couldn't keep it close? **** out of here with that bull****.

Thats not the right way to look at (30 point swing). A player like Ibaka changes the way you can run offense and at the same time further stretches the floor on the other side of the ball.

There is a reason that the Spurs have had so much trouble with OKC the last three years prior to the WCF.

We will never agree on this and thats fine. Ultimately, OKC jus thas to get over the hump. Hopefully they don't have an injury to one of their top three guys in the playoffs this year.
 
KD and RW who in your opinion are both top 5 players, or close, couldn't win ONE game without Serge? LOL
