If OKC is the 2nd best team in the West, where does that leave LAL and Dallas?
I'm liking Westbrook but he is overhyped, dude is a TO machine he has ulated 50 TOs in the last 10 games and I don't understand why he is not penetring instead of trying contested JS all night long.
Don't get me wrong he is a superb player but sometimes he is still a SG in his head, when the Defense is collapsing over Durant he doesn't know what to do and let begin the drible drible drible till the shot clock violation.
He is also lucky to have Durant IMO to save his ass, Durant last night received very dumb passes and convert some higly contested JS. Westbrook ulates a lot of assists like that, the clock running out, throw the ball to Durant and Durant converts stuff out of nowhere.
In POs this kind of situations will happen a lot. Turning the ball over at this rate will also cost OKC precious possessions. So to sum up I'm not sold at OKC being contender with Russel running the show.

Kevin Durant, 35% career shooter in the playoffs..
1 and 3 tbh (in that order)
OKC is the team of the future in the west, as of today. A first round matchup with Denver would be very entertaining.
they went from underrated to overrated in a year
I'll say it again. They won't beat the Nuggets.
4-2 Nuggets
They're still fourth, the difference is, the gap has closed between them and the top three.
Their main issues are . . .
1) Lack of three-point shooting. They're third worst in the league overall. In their rotation, only Durant and Harden can make the three with any semblance of regularity.
2) Lack of shooting period. Two of their four rotation bigs have no range whatsoever and three of their four rotation guards are sub par shooters as well.
3) Lack of reliable scoring outside of three players, the third of which has only been a consistently reliable scorer for about a month (though I do think he can keep it up).
4) Lack of experience overall, particularly amongst four of their five best players.
Are all Lakers fans terrible @ the maths?
