Great response. Thunder have gotten better every year since Durant was drafted. Thats just going to stop when KD/RW are still in their primes? Ibaka still has plenty of improvement left as well. His game took a nice step last year and will improve again this year.

I think they'll eventually improve – especially once they finally lose the chunky husk of Kendrick Perkins – but I think in the early stages of 2013–14 they'll be worse, considering Westbrook will be returning from a major injury.

Didn't say that, but I don't think OKC makes it through the West.

I'll be waiting for thethe or Heyward to accept the bet.

Obviously if you are going to take the field or OKC you take the field. Thats just obvious. But they still have the best shot in the conference. KD/RW is the best duo in the league.

Shocking you back down from another bet, absolutely, shocked.

I'd take LAC or Houston, over OKC.

Lol, Houston isn't that much better from last year.

Clippers added a bunch of role players and lost Bledsoe, slightly better at best.

I wouldn't bet on it, can never guess on injuries and whatnot.

Yeah, I agree with that. The thingt hat is happening though is Durant is learning how to use his long body more on defense and he is playing at the four more. The Thunder run more small ball lineups out there. Perkins will be history after this year and the Thunder will be able to get another solid player to add into the mix. I know its partially to do with me pimping them all the time but I find it funny that people are HOPING for the Thunder to not win.

Major, he's already off crutches.

He's not a pussy like Rose.
 
The Thunder rely way too much on 2 players. This is a team with just crap outside of those 2. (Ibaka is good defender and can hit a jumper) Until they add pieces around those guys, hard for me to expect them to come out of the West.

Take the bet, I'll give you an out if KD/RW or Serge has a season ending injury.
