Thunder: anyone else thinks okc will win the le this year?

[StrengthAndHonor]

It's code RED for the Warriors. There's no way they can beat OKC 3 straight times if they lose tonight, it's over.

[StrengthAndHonor]

Thunder have always had the ability to bury you in points when the bench is on. When they aren't, then WB gets a bit untrusting and goes hero mode. That's when KD tunes him out and it's all downhill from there.

Can they? Absolutely, but like GS they are going to have to find a happy place where high usage guys start to get better roles, better looks and trust their teammates to make plays. This is where names are made (Bismack will get paid because of his performances tbh).

Pansy, stand on your ground and pick.

If they're good enough to beat the Warriors and the Spurs back to back.... two historic regular seasons... I don't see why they shouldn't be favorites over the Cavs or Raptors.... their athleticism is blinding... and Cleveland comes off as a slow and unathletic team... This isnt 2012 anymore... Durant/WEstbrook have matured and Lebron has regressed... and Whistle/Bosh > Irving/Love.

2016 OKC > 2012 OKC and 2016 Cavs < 2012 Heat, IMO.

I agree with this logic.

As a UT alum, I would like to see Durant win a le.
But I would get a much bigger thrill from watching the smirks silenced in Golden State.
The east teams are boring as and the finals is going to be a snoozefest.

You're so Beta

With takes like "Billy Donovan" is a short timer" and "Draymond Green doesn't fit" , yes you need to shut up and sit your ass down...

Vanilla posters like you come along after a win and look to take a profit when you didn't make an investment to begin with. We'll see how Donovan ends up. There were plenty in the thread that agreed and I even spoke better of Donovan than Brooks the very next post. You were no where to be seen though you had ample time to post a different viewpoint. Same with Green. 3 years later and you're trying to take profits you didn't earn.

got vanilla posters ruin forums by not contributing anything and legriding the real operators here.

Blah blah, I got you on a big ass stick fatty.

Been saying its their year since they beat us. They finally got a good coach, it made the whole difference.

Hes much improved from Scott Brooks TBH, Kerr was a rookie coach but got a championship his first season.

For whatever reason, he's getting through to this group. I had not seen them this focused b4.

Its their year.

That was on that piece of human trash garbage motha a Rick Barnes.

*shook*

[StrengthAndHonor]

bum, I think they're easily rattled. cavs show them up last year and you can easily see them lose composure when the going gets tough.

I have a condition though, westbrook must continue to play at his teams pace and not the other way around.

if there's any other team that can come back from a 3-1 deficit (assuming tonight is a loss) its golden state but from my own eye test, okc appears to have regulated those bay area folks.

Donovan is a winner, pure and simple. OKC = 2016 NBA Champions.

Well, you then. Durant's jersey was retired by The University. That should be good enough for any UT fan.
