Everything is set up for the OKC Thunder to win it all

[t-wizzle]

What a bunch of idiots huh son? Course this post of yours is going to look pretty buckin stupid if Durant is out for sometime again lol. Fly eagles fly son cheers.

He's got a sprained ankle dopey and this entire thread was prefaced with the statement "BARRING another major injury," they'll make a push.

[Seto]

They look Fukkin toogh so far tonight

Westbrook and Durant inpossible to guard

Congrats on your mushjob. You tried really really hard for this one and it looks like you succeeded. lol.

[t-wizzle]

Just locked in some OKC futures.

+1000 to win it all.

+525 to win the West.


$50 on each bet.

[GIVEMETHEMONEY]

Still waiting twizzle!! How did that OKC bet do for you? hahaha lmfao



Have you surrendered yet?

[NBA Maniac]

OKC got ******....

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

uh oh...

[rm18]

they had injuries but they were not built to win it all. Who wins it all when over half of your rotation are young inexperienced midseason pickups?

[existential]

Thunder now eliminated. Lost tonight and Westbrook suspended for tomorrow's game.

[t-wizzle]

Haha. They lost the second best player in the league and guys are running their mouths.

No, we're running our mouths because of this:

You just can't wrap your head around a team winning 45 of 60 games.

Once again, I think they'll have a good chance to win the division. And even if they don't, they're obviously making the playoffs regardless. This thread is about them making a run to the Finals. Stop getting hung up on regular season standings.

Wtf are you talking about? I'm not hung up on anything. Let me clarify.

You: Not saying Thunder win 75% of remaining games
You: Think they'll be right in the mix to win division
You: We all agree that will take around 55 wins or so

Me: That would take winning 76.6% of remaining games. Tough sledding in this year's West.

It's not obvious they make the playoffs, 50-50 @ best. Could they? Sure, plenty of talent. But another injury could just as easily kill their season. Clear enough?

"50-50 at best."

Somebody do the math, only two games left

No that statement is laughable. You honestly believe they have a 50% shot at the playoffs? Like you were being serious?

So basically you're saying it's 50-50 that Westbrook or Durant go down again for an extended period of time? Because that's the ONLY way they have ANY chance of missing the playoffs.

"Not saying they're winning 75% of their remaining games but feel good about them winning 75% of their remaining games". Call it what you will. Regarding taking a stand, I don't care either way. Not an OKC hater, just saying it's not a foregone conclusion they make the playoffs much less win the title. They started in a hole, it's a long season. Too many things can go wrong. Ask Bulls fans. Do I think they get in? Probably. Would I bet my house on it? No.

You still got a shot...

[t-wizzle]

Barring another major injury, they'll be right there fighting for a top 4 seed.

You guys need to read.

[swordsandtequila]

You guys need to read.

And so do you. Foot injuries tend to reoccur, shouldn't be a surprise it's been an issue with Durant. I just stated the obvious. Well, obvious to most of us.

[ZetaPsi808]

The Durant foot injury was pretty likely to reoccur given what we knew in November

Injuries are part of the game, you can't use injuries as an excuse

[GT21Megatron]

[t-wizzle]

Did I see it coming??

[KRIT]

The tougher opponent is still one round away though.

[BigDofBA]

To go through 67 win San Antonio, 73 win GSW, and Lebron would be a historic post-season run.

This is the one year I had the lowest expectations, mainly bc of how OKC played in the regular season. They did not bring this intensity during the regular season. In the past they did and fizzled or in the playoffs or had injuries.

Game 4 is huge. If they lose then the Warriors are right back in the driver's seat.

I bet we see a hell of a game. Durant will need to be able to close it I bet.

If they win it all, it has to be the greatest path to win a championship in NBA history, maybe even sports history?

OKC finally figured it out because they got some actual big men who can play and a decent wing. I still can't believe how long OKC went with Perkins and Sefelosha.

It's all coming together but still a lot of work to be done.

It's only 2-1 and GSW are a historically good team. OKC has to win game 4. If the Warriors win the ball is back in their court. Best two of three with two at home.

I do feel like they're finally playing like a "team" though. They look so much better with he spacing and ball movement.

That would be Leicester city at 5000 to 1

No shit. The winner of game 4 wins the series

[louielouie]

Thunder will win this series why is anyone double guessing it

[Jeffie]

That would be Leicester city at 5000 to 1

Odds wise you're probably right, but let's be honest BPL is pure trash right now.

[t-wizzle]

[paco]

People still sleeping on Russ and the Thunder smh.

[PorkChop]

Cavaliers > OKC in 6, on 6/16/16.

Coochy, they only played NBA briefly in the 1930s

[t-wizzle]

OKC's length is too much.

[BigDofBA]

OKC's length is too much.

It caused problems in the regular season too but OKC just pissed down their leg and couldn't finish.

People are starting to make excuses for the Warriors but having Curry guard Westbrook is wearing him out.

OKC's length is causing several of the Warriors problems and the Thunder don't have to work as hard to get buckets.

[ThaTopMoron]

this thread is comical to browse because he did say barring another injury which indeed killed them last year and said they finally benched perkins and now had proper rim protection with adams, etc

only thing he didn't say was they should change head coach to help propel them to another playoff level

only thing that changed was the main bench role players contributing to the playoff run, made some changes that have turned out great in the playoffs. waiters even doing his part

impressive

[play4win]

okc will only win if toronto is in the finals
