Thunder: OKC is not better without Westbrook

[Proxy]

They're not. I don't know how anyone could think that. What I do believe though is that Jackson is way better than some people realize. Whether he brings it or chokes under pressure we'll have to find out.

He played Manu pretty tough... I liked what I saw from him.

[Proxy]

A lot tbh. Leading them is DMC. Sup .

Well that doesn't surprise me, tbh

[100%duncan]

How do I know that I will be seeing it? Do you have any evidence to support your claim?

You can type therefore you are not blind. You know the rest.

[100%duncan]

I still think OKC has this series though it will be harder than they want it to be. IMO, Westbrook's loss will be exposed on the 2nd round or WCF if they get there.

[DMC]

OKC is undoubtedly a better team without Westbrook. They may not have better results, but as a team they are better because Durant will fortify Ibaka and Ibaka will fortify Collision and Collison will fortify Martin and Martin will Fortify himself more than he should. There are other fortifications going on as well.

In all, fortifications will outnumber knee surgeries, and the eventual outcome will show that OKC would be better if they did not have a chucking PG.

Ya'll can say all you want tbh. This dude gets criticized for his chucking, being a and a monkeyballer and I'm one of his biggest haters. But without him OKC has gotten weaker. He doesn't make his teammates better but the team is certainly better with him. Durant will be forced to carry a more offensive load. And the supporting cast will crumble under the pressure of making up for Westbrook's absence. You will see it when all is said and done.

Did you really need to make a thread for your opinion instead of just sharing it in the 3 or so other ones? And no pretty much any same person would agree with you; the only thing positive for OKC is that it might encourage some maturity growth.

Solid prediction by da bank manager so far, tbh fwiw, [img]shaq-on-dudley.gif[img] etc

40 pts in the 1st quarter without their top 2 scorer...

[Monster1776]

Was this thread meat to be read sarcastically?

[Venti Quattro]

They're not bad without Westbrook, because Durant is gonna absorb most of the shots that Westbrook will take (or chuck), but ultimately they'll need him vs San Antonio.

That Kawhi v Durant matchup will be one for the ages.

[benstanfield]

They aren't getting past round 2. Beating the team that literally doesn't call plays is one thing, winning an actual playoff series with only 1 real scorer is another.

[100%duncan]

OKC is undoubtedly a better team without Westbrook. They may not have better results, but as a team they are better because Durant will fortify Ibaka and Ibaka will fortify Collision and Collison will fortify Martin and Martin will Fortify himself more than he should. There are other fortifications going on as well.

In all, fortifications will outnumber knee surgeries, and the eventual outcome will show that OKC would be better if they did not have a chucking PG.

But isn't that the goal in this universe? In this league? You build a team to WIN and WIN only.

[100%duncan]

Again I don't expect Houston to win this series though I may have been wrong about Houston making it harder than OKC expected. 2nd Round will be the test for OKC and WCF if they get past CP3 without an all-star guard.

EDIT: I just woke up and just saw the results of LAC MEM, damn OKC might get away with Westbrook's loss if Memphis wins the series imho.

Go sit in a corner and listen to Mambo No. 5 and Simple Plan.
