8th seed out west?

[RD2191]

Davis out for a while and Durant just got a procedure done and will be out at least a week.

[Robz4000]

It will be Meth. Could see them overtaking the Spurs with or without Durbeta tbh.

Would have said that my SUNS had a good chance to stay in 8th. But OKC made some really nice deals at the deadline and got a lot deeper and better. The more non-chuckers and non-monkeyballers they get on that team, the better. Now they won't rely on Westbrick and Waiters to chuck them out of every game.

Have you ever noticed that OKC has a Waiter and a Servant on their team at the same time?

Doubt it, Spurs have for 4 game buffer with 14 of their final 25 at home. We're 6-4 in our last 10 and still only 3 games out of third. Dallas could drop down to 8th. 16 of their final 25 games are against +.500 teams. Thunder have one of the easier remaining schedules. OKC would probably be better suited for GSW than Memphis.

Suns are in free fall, they seem to be done. OKC's new found depth is slightly overrated. They're better 1-15 but come playoff time Durant and Westbrook along with Ibaka are going to play at least 33 mpg. Of their top 11 players, only 3 are above average shooters (Durant' Morrow and Ibaka) Roberson, Adams, Waiters, and Westbrook are all below average shooters at their positions.

Kantors biggest knock has been his defense and him being overly aggressive on offense. He's an big upgrade over Perkins but he can get exploited in certain situations.

That's troubling news about Durant. And they just last nite assured us that all the scans were coming back clean. I need them to hold off the Suns.

Due to the way the NBA still uses a bracket for the playoffs, it's better to be the #8 seed than #6 or #7.

Take down the #1 seed, then you get to play the winner of the 4/5 series while 2 has to play 3.

OKC gonna tap that Warriors ass in the 1st round

[Mori Chu]

They'll have to do it with no Durant. Tee, hee.

[m>s]

of course okc gets in. the pelicans are nothing without davis, however the thunder still have westbrook who can carry them into 8th

[SPM]

:lol OKC ain't jumping above 7 seed, them and the cum guzzling Spurs will be battling to see who gets thumped in round 1 by GS and Memphis

[m>s]

I'm pretty sure a healthy okc actually thumps golden state pretty good, but not without Durant

[in2deep]

:lol "procedure" funny that's how the OKC front office is calling what is surgery.

he had surgery. He'll be out a min of 3 weeks.

OKC will be 8th
