They'll take 1, maybe 2, games off the Lakers, but I just don't see them having the consistency against a strong and experienced Lakers team. If they didn't end 8th, played the Mavs, Suns or even Utah and got deep, then I'd back them for the upset, but Lakers first round is too big an ask. If they're going to be any chance, they've gotta take one of the first two games in LA. | ||

Hah, remember Portland bandwagon? Roy, Aldridge, Oden & Co. Where are they now? If they don't totally choke my bet is on 7 games. Durant has to make it. OKC is no worse than Bobcats, Portland. | ||

If they don't totally choke my bet is on 7 games. Durant has to make it. OKC is no worse than Bobcats, Portland. I don't think they'll be able to sustain themselves at the level of intensity they will need to upset the Lakers. They're a young bunch with little (if any?) playoff experience behind them, and it's going to be a whole different kettle of fish -- particularly against the defending champs. Can they win? Of course. Will they win? No. If OKC had a "softer" first round opponent (Dallas, Phoenix or even Denver) and got through, I think they could really give the Lakers trouble (bracket willing). But I think the defending NBA champ Lakers in their first ever playoff series is the worst case scenario for OKC. I really, really hope I'm wrong though. I'm a massive Durant fan and I'd love to see OKC spoil LA. | ||

In other news, Paxson shoved Del Negro, that's just hilarious to imagine. | ||
