Thought I'd start a thread listing the Thunder roster, and as a place for any "preview" comments people have.
Here's their "Preseason Summary" from the Thunder website: http://www.nba.com/thunder/news/trainingcamp_151023
They like themselves.
OKC Thunder roster, as currently listed on their website:
Steven Adams, ctr
D.J. Augustin, pt guard
Nick Collison, fwd
Kevin Durant, pwr forward
Serge Ibaka, ctr
Josh Huestis, sm forward
Enes Kanter, ctr
Mitch McGary, fwd
Anthony Morrow, grd
Steve Novak, fwd
Cameron Payne, grd
Andre Roberson, grd
Kyle Singler, fwd
Dion Waiters, grd
Russell Westbrook, grd
As best I can tell, it appears they are all gots.

Weak ass depth. Will cost them when it counts, like we've seen in the past...
Little on the bench at the 1, 2, and 3 positions, though their big man depth might actually be better than ours curiously enough.
quite possibly the best basketball take I've ever read.
OP
With Brooks playing their stars 37-40 mins they were a nightmare. With a bench that thin, let see how this new coach work with their minutes during the season. Specially with Durant coming from a couple of foot surgeries.
BTW, who runs the offense for the Thunder's 2nd team?
DJ Augustin the point guard, Morrow the shooter.
Spurs can't beat them if their big 3 KD, Russ and Ibaka stay healthy...
That new head coach is Billy Donovan, by the way. Age 50. Coached 19 years at the U of Florida. This is his first season as an NBA head coach. So, he's unproven in the NBA. He'll be jumping into "proof" with both feet tomorrow night.
Associate head coach is Monty Williams (who played for the Spurs in 1996-98, and was a coaching staff intern for the Spurs with the 2005 championship team.)
OKC assistant coaches include Maurice Cheeks. Some will remember Mo Cheeks with the 76ers, an all-star point guard.
I beg to differ. Even if the Thunder big 3 are healthy and well, the Spurs can still beat them like a drum.
LOL OP
These fools give KD an Westbrook to much respect. Like them niccas sit next to Jesus on the thrown.. I'm cosigning with you homie.
Let's just say that its a wash for the starting lineups.
However, the Spurs bench will just simply destroy the Thunder. I just don't see how Augustin would survive the pressure.
Oh, yeah, unproven in the NBA, not new.
You don't get out much.
There's no doubting your astute observations op. Excellent takes.
Some will remember Mo Cheeks with the Spurs in 1989-90 (traded for Rod Strickland mid-season).
Nah, they too unstoppable and have too much intensity...
No, cause Kawhi didn't get slap by Barnes, Parker is not a liability and Pop is the second coming of Jesus that don't lose les because naiveness and stupidity... i swear, you guys so blind that you giving bad name to the term homers...
Should be a great test for the Spurs to open the season and a preview of the WCF.
A koby username, with a cp3 av, on a spurs forum.
What a failure of a human lmao
A team with Dion Waiter & Anus Canc*r in their starting line up is simply a non contender to me. Will still be a dangerous regular season with 2 of top 15 players of the league playing for them, but WCSF is their best ceiling at the moment.
