First of all I wanna thank my lord and savior jesus, without him I wouldn't even be here posting in this thread.
I think it'll last.
Maximum 2 years. Had they lost earlier I would've given it less than a year.

15 years. Its weird they don't gel on the court better because they're like BFFs off the court. Almost as erotic as the Steve Francis-Cuttino Mobley relationship was tbh.
7-8 years.
Don't see a big problem. Not all small on-the-court differences between teammates are irreconcilable. I think they'll figure it out. Both guys want to win. Both guys just need a little bit of an ego check to see that it's better if they find a way to work things out.
Depends on team's FO. If they are smart, and have some luck, they can keep both until retirement.
The guy who could be gone a lot quicker than people think is Scotty Brooks. I thought he was a great coach at first but his offensive system, assuming he even has one, is downright terrible and I've never seen a coach call so many bad plays out of timeouts.
a couple years, then he plays pg for the Lakers.
Agree, any good coach would of taken Westbrook out when he was choking the game away in game 3. was ridiculous.
Bump. I'll still give them two years. But with the way things are turning out, it might be even shorter
2 years is a good guess. But it all depends how far they go. If they regress the following year and after that, meaning anything less than a WCF appearance then I can see some moaning and and finger pointing in the off season which will lead to a break up.
OKC wants it easy. They're finding out firsthand what it has taken Dallas a lifetime to realize & acknowledge:::it ain't easy. OKC is of the belief that winning is as easy as talking about it on an NBA Forum. Dallas has already been thru that baptism.
& Durant thinks humility can win him a championship so he lets Westbrook run havoc on OKC.
when either westbrook's contract expires or before expiration they will trade him
^He's about as humble as the next NBA asshole is. That's a Media concoction to shield him at loss. He'd be wise to tell Media to go back and their mother some more.
Then, after that:::get on with it. Because Media is also telling him this is just the beginning.
Uh, huh.
If it goes the way of KG and Marburry squabbling over nothing, another year or 2. If it goes Mobley/Francis, until the FO realizes it isn't working...
This. Great post.
It's not an act to appear humble. He has an unassuming personality. He's a quiet guy and OKC is the perfect place for him. He may or may not be humble, but he's just a quiet guy. It's not something he's out there trying to give off. Westbrook has a more dominant personality and he starts to feed off the media hype. The guy thinks he's just as good as Derek Rose and probably can't figure out why people have a problem with him taking Derek Rose shots.
With Durant, it's pretty clear he forces the humble image. The thing where he insisted Sefolosha and Kristic be on the cover of SI was ridiculous.
Westbrook is as good as Rose, the only reason why people are not complaining about Rose and his atrocious 40% Fg playoff shooting is because he doesn't have a guy like KD in his team. Don't let that media based MVP trophy fool you.
I think a lot of media coverage that focuses directly on him makes him uncomfortable sometimes. I'm not saying that's a good thing, but I think it factors in when he starts building up his teammates.
There are a lot of players who go through the motions when it comes to being humble, I don't get the feeling that Durant is one of them. His career decisions lead me to believe he's more of a quiet guy who doesn't mind media attention, but doesn't seek it.
I do think Media is setting up Durant to be the anti-Kobe, Wade or Lebron ... I dont hold him liable for the league or media agenda. On top of that, the quiet way he re-signed sorta backs up JAG's assertion. However Cully is right for calling out Durant, sure he steeped up huge for TEAM USA ...bu these stakes are bigger.
Westbrook has Rose's athleticism, but that's it. and Rose knows when to pass the ball. Also, Chicago pretty much depends on Rose alot, as OKC doesn't need to depend on Westbrook like he thinks they should
I think his demeanor is a positive thing when it comes to team chemistry, but it also limits him with respect to taking over games and demanding the ball. If Durant had a stronger presence I think Westbrook would have an easier time deferring to him and taking a backseat.
Eh, I don't know.I agree that Rose is a better and much willing passer but I think Westbrook is a better defender so it pretty much even things out a bit. one thing going for Rose at the moment is his at ude and he does have pretty good head above his shoulders, Westbrook not so much that's why his flaws are magnified. I saw plenty of Rose this year and tbh, I'm just not impressed to a point where You can clearly put him above Westbrook or any other PG for that matter. Just like Westbrook, Rose has been pretty bad in the playoffs efficiency wise and he also made some horrible decisions that has been costly for the Bulls (see Game 2 of ECF)
And I agree with DOK, that was indeed ridiculous. I Started hating that kid on a personal level after that statement.
