I think Lakers have better chance of beating OkC than Dallas, Utah, etc...
They struggle mightily against Dallas. IQ matters in basketball.
Spurs Mavs and Lakers, the 3 teams that have a huge experience advantage.
I think Dallas can beat OKC too. Even though the season series says otherwise
Everyone is saying experience will help against OKC.. but I think them battling through couple tough postseasons will also help out their "experience" department as well.
I don't think it has since they are still at the top of the league in turnovers, Westbrook is still taking dumbass shots and making dumbass turnovers, and still finds ways to overshoot and cause KD to lose his rhythm.
Rockets beat them twice this year, and lost once with a Durant buzzer beater. I think the Rockets match up well with OKC.
The biggest threat to OKC is Westbrook and I'm confident that he will mess up OKC come PO time. I have faith he will screw them for good.
Memphis obviously. They're scared of the Grizzlies imho.
Conley is a good defender (first in the league in steals i think), has the length, and with Tony Allen they can keep Westbrick in check as good as anyone in the league.
Gay can also play some defence and has the length to bother Durant. Not many potentially better Durant defenders out there...
They also have Mayo who's playing best basketball of his career lately and won't do much worse than Harden as a 6th man...
And of course GaZebo>>>>Perkins&Ibaka
SAN ANTONIO SPURS
...and you already know this man!!!!!! We been whooping that ass all year long.
Something I notice about Westbrook is that he simply does NOT let things go. If he messes up on a play, gets a shot blocked, or feels he got fouled and didnt get the call he totally loses his mind. He'll either start pouting, start trying to take over the game, making dumbass plays, or usually just a combination of all three. He's still a great player though, and I respect how hard he must have worked to improve his jumper. But he really needs to improve his shot selection, and try to keep his composure when things get tough.
I normally agree, but this year he seems to have grown up a bit. It's the coach of OKC I have no faith in. They might need a real coach to take them all the way.

Hawky-poo, breakin' his cogent post cherry.
Congratulations. Mother & father will be so proud.
I fully agree with you. 2011/12 RS Westbrook is much better than last year. He apparently has worked on his JS and he is taking less dumb shots, even if he is still TOs prone and his BBIQ is still low he is much improved player this year. Nevertheless I think he is going to come back to his old self with the POs when things will become tougher during a serie.
I wouldn't underestimate Denver in a 7 game series against the Thunder
Afflalo and Lawson might give Westbrook problems, but Durant remains the x-factor along with Denver's health.
experience will be a main factor in the playoffs and almost every team in the playoff range would beat em to this end tbh
Spurs and Memphis.
The Spurs can beat OKC. Nobody else in the West though.
Memphis getting their pushed in by Golden State in their house right now
