They are not a lottery team without Russ. They just aren't a top 5 team in the loaded West.

Thunder will be just fine. This is a good thing that they are getting the yougn kids experience. But, I am dissapointed with Brooks. Playing Fisher/Perk so much with the way Lamb/Adams are playing is just stupid.
 
YOU said OKC is a lottery team without Russ....thus, in YOUR mind, over 82 games they wouldn't make the playoffs. Follow?

Yes, because the West has more than 2 teams capable of winning a title.

West has aton of top teams, every game matters.

Ind/Mia can sleepwalk until the ECF's.

West is too deep for that.

Follow?
 
I follow the fact that you make no sense when you attempt to make a point. If KD is as great as you/thethe say he is...then there's no way OKC is a lotto team. So did you overrate KD or are you overreacting to losing RW?

Over-reacting to losing one of the top 5-10 players on the team and the heart of the team, no.

The team is not that good without him.

KD is great but he cant do it alone, no one can.
 
KD needs to be more assertive. I think these losses do effect the perception of him. Even without RW I think the Thunder have plenty of talent. Some teams don't even have a list of the below players in a support role:

Ibaka
Jackson
Thabo
Lamb
Adams

The Thunder should not be losing games to the Nets. The strange thing is that in the last two games they have looked flat out dominant like they did against Houston. The focus just isn't there the whole game and that is where RW comes into play. That guy only knows one speed and does it all game. He is the heart and soul of the Thunder.

Bron won a title in Cle?

Without Russ, he is, worse situation than Cle/LBJ basically.

Given how good the West is, absolutely.

They cant sleepwalk the season and get a top 3 seed in the East.
 
When is it time to start looking at the James Harden trade and at least not saying it was an utter joke of a deal?
 
Watch the kid play. He is MUCH MUCH better than you ever thought and Adams is pretty damn good as well.

Lamb is not only hitting open threes. He is driving to the basket and creating opportunities for his teammates off the dribble. His defense is also better than I thought but still apotential liability in a big spot.

You can say its not a joke because its clear they got a lot of talent back. Whether or not it was a good trade will be determined on whether or not OKC wins a title and that I agree with.

He will finish the year at over 2 assists per game which is very nice for the 4th ball handler on the team. Instead of just looking at a stat line you should watch some games. Jeremy Lam bis 100% a starting shooting guard in this league. Much much better than you thought.

How about him being a crappy shooter like you said he was?
