Durant's doing pretty well finally being the number one option on his team.

OKC really can't seem to generate offense during Durant's cold quarters.

do people really believe OKC is better without westbrook lol he makes jeremy lin look like the worst PG in the league (not that hes far off)

Their coach is good but I dont know why he plays them in the same unit. Imagine if you had KD and his unit and then your bench playing against westbrook and co?

their egos would never allow it but imagine how dominant of a team that would be.

Because when Westbrook was healthy brooks could have tem both playing 40+ minutes a night, he doesn't need to give them that much rest each, why only have one play when you can have both play?

They basically always had at least one on the floor at all times you don't need to bench one of them to accomplish that.

Except in the third quarter. What sealed it was that miracle three that bounced off the top of the back board and around the rim until finally making it, talk about a miracle shot.

Yeah, OKC is looking like Den/GS level without Russ-dubs. I expect Houston to claw a game out before losing and OKC will lose in the next round.

Quick question, are the playoff schedules decided ahead of time or are they affected by the results? Like if one round goes 7 does the next round still start at the same time as if both teams had gone 4-0?

no matter what shape you are in there is a difference between playing 25-30 hardcore minutes and 40+ normal minutes. KD would be able to get to the rim a lot more as well as westbrook, less jump shots.

You'd still rather have them both on most of the time and each alone only some of the time. I'd bet everything I have that if a Thunder team playing a similar rotation to the way they play now vs a Thunder team that had Westbrook off the bench as a 6th man the team playing both at once would win every time.

OKC fans can't be thrilled that Durant had to play 47 minutes for that win, after that halftime lead. Westbrook's sometimes questionable decision making aside, I don't think Durant is really comfortable taking that many shots, which is why you need Westbrook to take some of the slack. You just need to convince him he's their #2, and not both #1s. There were times that the Rockets had Lin covering Durant, and he'd pass to Sef instead of abusing that matchup. Not good.

More than that, I think it highlights how OKC's offense is so so over-reliant on athleticism, and is actually kind of terrible. They have 3+ fantastic pieces that pull defenses apart and can make difficult shots, but they don't know how to manufacture points and they can't get KMart the open looks they should.

It's not terrible but it's really basic. Similar to Denver's halfcourt offense in that respect. I do think that they're getting much more mileage out of that offense than they should though, for exactly the same reasons you said. I think Brooks is a really overrated/bad coach who looks a lot better than he is because of his roster.
