Now this is a post I can get behind. I think they do rely too much on the jump shot and it was obvious last night for anyone that watched the game. KD could not get by LBJ and honestly the Thunder had very little penetration last night. They just got lucky that everyone of them went off from 3 and Miami had some uncharacteristic turnovers. I mean common, Fisher hit 5 3's
Can't expect that every night.
BUT..... I still think they can win it all as a jump shooting team. And here it just becomes your opinion vs my opinion and I'm good with that. But they are a really, really good jump shooting team. When Westbrook comes back, if he's even 90% healthy, he'll be able to get to the hoop and open some things up for them. But to win it, they'll need Ibaka to continue shooting that mid range jumper at a steady clip and they'll need Westbrook hitting that J from the free throw line consistently. Durant gonna get his. Nobody in the league can guard him, not even remotely, except Lebron, and I hate to say LBJ can lock him down because KD got I thin 35 last night, but LBJ changes KD's game big time. KD hit a half dozen shots last night that I thought had no chance of going in and thought he was defended perfectly, but somehow he makes those.
Anyways, I still highly recommend you jumping on the OKC future around +545. Someones gotta come out of the west and they're the favorites plus they've shown they can beat everyone without Westbrook. Come finals time, it will be nice to have them at that price instead of +160.
