Russell Westbrook out till All Star Break

[TheGoldStandard]

Reports are he under went a scope procedure because of swelling of his knee.

[exstatic]

This is why I'm glad Pop is a worried old lady sometimes. RW was supposed to be out until mid December, but they have him basically at the beginning of the season? He probably wasn't healed from this summer.

[TheyCallMePro]

Now the Thunder will be a 4-5 seed. Huge for us. Playoffs will now be:

(1) Spurs/ (8) T-Wolves
(2)Trailblazers/ (7) Suns
(3) Clippers/ (6) Warriors
(4) Thunder/ (5) Rockets

And the Thunder can take out the Rockets for us with a healthy Westbrook. Perfect!

[Baam]

He'll be fresh in the POs unlike TP who is gonna be injured or dead tired...

This is the BEST time to rest tony and even Tim. Okc won't pull away and as long as we stay ahead of Houston we should be fine. Plus this would give much needed time for Leonard to integrate into the offense.

[PlayNando]

Nice job Scott Brooks tbh.

[rascal]

Let's look at all the easiest ways possible the Spurs can advance because we all know the spurs can't get though against healthy teams.

[hitmantb]

Westbrook playing style is exactly same as Rose's. Explosive, extreme speed with sudden, instantaneous stops that put a ton of pressure on the knees, I see season ending injuries for him soon.

Spurs needs to rest Parker and hope he doesn't suffer a major injury. His playing style is much more finesse/quickness than explosiveness, but the Euro games after longest possible season in the NBA really hit him hard.

I don't know how LeBron can play the way he does without suffering a major injury, there is still hope.

You need luck to win a championship with an aging, small market roster, when you are up against super teams with retarded rosters (twin towers + Kobe, Boston big three near prime, and Heat big three).

[RD2191]

It is what it is.:hat

[TheGoldStandard]

Russell is starting to exhibit the norm for explosive players, body can't always keep up with the demand and seems like a lingering problem unless he's given sufficient time to heal or change his style. Now we will see if Lamb and Jackson are real deal or if Durant is in trouble.

[td4mvp2k]

theyre betta witout westbrick tbh

[RD2191]

Trade him for Rondo.

[BatManu20]

OKC is now officially in the #TankForWiggins sweepstakes

[marbles1991]

God I hope the Thunder fall to the 3 seed. Then we have OKC/Clippers second round and they also probably have to deal with Portland/Houston/GSW in the first round.

[BatManu20]

They'll still finish top 3. They're a better team this year than they were last year. On the other hand, that's about 30 games Westbrook is going to miss, and according to Sam Presti it might be more after the ASG. Spurs really need to make up some ground here.

[Budkin]

Shitty news for Methfan. Great news for us.

[TD 21]

He'll probably rush back again and play reasonably close to his usual level relatively quickly, since this is the Thunder we're talking about. In the meantime, I'm sure the rest of the team will remain 100% healthy and continue to regularly face opposition missing key players.

I still wouldn't rule them out for the 1 seed though. With Parker unable to carry the Spurs offensively on a game to game basis, like the past few seasons, I can't see the Spurs getting it and the only other serious contender at the moment, the Trail Blazers, have a sub par defense and fluke record in close games/overtime. At some point, you'd think regression to the mean kicks in.

haha, man the wolves aren't making the playoffs. and i think u are underestimating the power of the officials. this just means durant's freethrows are going up. but yes, they aren't going anywhere without westbrook.

[james evans]

OKC is now officially in the #TankForWiggins sweepstakes
wiggins is a skiny kid with no strength that can't drive to his left. that's the REAL scouting report. he's a very good shooter. with the right team and help from the commisioner letting the officials know to give him the superstar treatment, his flaws won't be noticed.

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Bottom fuckin line, if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. All of you rejoicing and praying for the easiest path in the playoffs are clowns. The Spurs will draw who they draw, and they had better be ready. The Thunder will still be a top 3 seed, you all know it, quit praying for different. If we want a shot at the ring there is a BIG chance we have to go through OKC. Welcome the challenge. And if not OKC, Portland, LAC, and Houston will be waiting. It's a damn good conference.

Also, Pop should sit Parker, this should be all the incentive he needs. Westbrook is out hurt. Parker should rest for a few weeks. He is clearly gassed. I guess we will wait and see...

[Jordanobili2320]

lol at these comments. you people are delusional thinking OKC will finish as a 4 or 5 seed.

not only that, but michael jordan and the bulls made a living out of it in each of their 6 titles. they were only tested each year in the conference finals from 91-93 and 96-98. in a combined 12 series of the 1st and 2nd rounds of each title run, the bulls only lost 7 games total. and only lost more than 1 game, 1 time in 1992 when the knicks pushed them to 7 games. every other time in the first 2 rounds it was a sweep or 4-1. just easy path to the conference finals every year in their title years. while the west were going life and death to determine in the 90s who were gonna be playing for 2nd place in the finals against the bulls.

[r0drig0lac]

Thunder will lose to all elite teams, last season had passed or if the rockets westbrook had not played the first three games

[Captivus]

Reggie Jackson will handle the situation. He did a great job in the POs last season.
I dont see OKC losing a lot more because RW is not playing.

That hits their bench, though. If he's playing RWs minutes, someone is playing his. After the adrenaline of the Houston series wore off, OKC was easy to defend with only KD to defend. They struggled to score with him on the floor, and flat couldn't when he sat.

I thought this whole injury deal with Westbrook was done. That is a huge blow for the Thunder and it'll probably help the Spurs climb into the number one spot in the West again. Portland is the only team that probably will be competing for the number 1 spot.

Rockets and Clippers are somewhat close too, but they are an additional 4 games back

His game is predicated on high impact explosive play and he was never hurt leading up to his NBA career, his body is just breaking down naturally because of the stress. I believe this will happen more often unless he changes his style of play.

Agreed. Everyone is going to point to tonight's close victory as otherwise. Westbrook didn't just have surgery last night right? Lol. It's not as if it's not going to take a few games to get into a groove without him? SMH. Everyone around here is so eager for every team in the NBA to succumb to injuries or bad luck. That's like fans of other teams rejoicing if Parker or Duncan got hurt. People around here are so afraid of competition. I want to beat other teams at their best, if an injury occurs fine. The Thunder are here to stay barring Durant going down and we as fans should welcome the challenge, not lie to ourselves that the Thunder are going to crumble. Of course I don't want the hardest path possible for the Spurs, but however the stars align is how they align. The best the Spurs can do is take care of business in regular season and get home court. At least you get it bro.

A blunt assessment of their season w/o RW is not the same as wanting him to get injured. They also have no system to fall back on. Their entire offense is running, and a series of ISOs for KD and RW. Now, it's just ISOs for KD. Think teams won't see that coming?

[heyheymymy]

I don't know how LeBron can play the way he does without suffering a major injury, there is still hope.

They were awful in the playoffs without RW, just awful. I don't envision a total collapse ,but he's going to miss basically a third of the season, 27 games. There's no way that you plug DFish into rotation,and they hold us off until he gets back. I expect us to pick up at least 5-6 games while he is gone, and maybe another 1-2 while he is rusty.

they will lose more than win without brook ... would not have passed without the rockets howard last season if the injury had occurred before

[TheGoldStandard]

Looking at their next 10 games they should easily handle 7 of those match ups, they probably struggle against Houston and Portland but Brooklyn, Minnesota, Boston, Utah, Denver, Milwaukee & Memphis are teams they can beat with what they have.

They lost last year because Memphis slowed the pace of the game down and Durant is way too economical for his own good at times, he's not a volume shooter, takes what the defense gives him and likes to pass.

If he's out 30 games they probably go 20-10 and that's still respectable

Honestly, it really is unreal the way no one says as much of a single word pertaining to Lebron's questionable physique. Not even a mention. I just don't get it. Usually there is always a cloud of suspicion around the obvious guys. And correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Wade mentioned among the athletes Biogenesis had supplied with drugs? Why did that never materialize??? It was just swept under the rug...

[cjw]

I agree with you here. They'll probably win 2 of every 3 along that stretch of games unless anyone else gets banged up, in which case they become very thin. On the Bobcats game, they're not as historically bad as in past years (two games under .500 and just a 1.2 point differential, albeit in the LEast).

That exactly why I don't fear Houston in the playoffs. No mental discipline. Like GS when we sat the big 3, they just thought they'd walk to a win. There's also some chippyness there, with Harden leaving OKC,and Beverly the original cause of RWs knee injury. Not just another game for either team.

Also, a home game. They have 10 home and 14 road games until the ASG, when RW MIGHT be back.

Honestly, I don't really fear Houston either. I know a lot of people are intimidated by them. But I still think the Spurs will get it going when it's time and dispose of Houston in 6. Best case scenario 5. I just don't think when the game breaks down into the half court that Houston will be mentally focused or able to beat the Spurs. Same with the Clippers, though I think the Clippers could be a little bit of a tougher out for us, mainly because of CP3. The 2 teams San Antonio needs to look out for are OKC and Portland. That just my opinion though.

this portland/okc game is disgusting. batum went up for a putback dunk and durant mugged him under the basket in FRONT OF JOEY CRAWFORD and it was a no call, but on the other end they can't even look at durant driving. they are beating the hell out of portland in the paint forcing them to shoot nothing but 3's cuz they won't get fouls when they drive. tim donaghy's book is relevant tonight. the refs can easily control a game and teams that aren't great look unstoppable with the bullshit. i wish we were allowed to play defense like okc is playing in the pait. and the funny thing is, they are shutting down the paint with ibaka and perkins on the bench and they aint calling shit on durant. shit is sickening
