Lets go with best case scenario: Durant returns early December. We'll just go with 1. How will they fare without their two superstars? Is there enough time left to make a run for the playoffs, let alone home court? Don't forget you'll need a win or 50 to make it to the PO's out West.

Schedule:
Nov 1: vs. Denver
Nov 3: @Brooklyn
Nov 4: @Toronto
Nov 7: vs. Memphis
Nov 9: vs. Sacramento
Nov 11: @Milwaukee
Nov 12: @Boston
Nov 14: vs. Detroit
Nov 16: vs. Houston
Nov 18: @Utah
Nov 19: @Denver
Nov 21: vs. Brooklyn
Nov 23: vs. Golden State
Nov 26: vs. Utah
Nov 28: vs. New York

Depends when Reggie and Lamb are coming back. They can luck out but in general I don't think they can win anyone playing with a Telfair - Jones - Robertson - Ibaka - Adams starting 5.

There are only 15 games listed through the end of November and they will probably miss closer to 20 combined games.

I believe their record will be something like 6

If they still had a certain bearded All Star around, they might be able to tread water. But they threw their title chances out the window because of a cheap owner who scammed one city to move to another and then is too miserly to be willing to pay luxury tax to keep a title contender together.

People are seriously overrating the Thunder roster. The following won't win many NBA games.

Sebastian Telfair
Perry Jones
Andre Robertson
Serge Ibaka
Steven Adams

Even with Jackson and Lamb back, the roster is still garbage quality. You can't win games without a first option.

Reggie Jackson
Jeremy Lamb
Perry Jones
Serge Ibaka
Steven Adams
