The OKC Family Thread: Time to Run the Table

final year to prove their worth. If they STILL manage to lose, durant can never reach the top 20 list.

Okc is a very good team (no sarcasm) so why do okc fans go out of their way to sound like such insecure, ignorant homers?

The urgency to win games in the reg season might burn them out by the playoffs.

Other teams with good records will be able to rest players and coast towards the start of the playoffs.

I like OKC, they are a fun team to watch and players easy to like except perk.

Possibly, this could happen if Scott Brooks doesn't manage his players minutes properly and if OKC allows lesser opponents to stay games.

OKC needs to dismantle lesser opponents early like they did last night against NY to allow everyone to rest. Scott Brooks can't get carried away playing KD 40 minutes per game regularly when he returns, or RW 36-38 minutes, and he needs to utilize his entire roster better than in previous years to rest his stars and also develop younger players to ensure veterans are rested and younger players are as prepared as possible for the playoffs.

So yes, it could be a problem but only if OKC doesn't focus properly and Brooks falls into old bad substitution patterns. Definitely avoidable.

He missed out on his chance to reach top 20 after his epic choke job last season. If he chokes AGAIN this season he will never even reach top 30.

Durant is the most clutch player in the league.

cool

I already have Durant top 20 all time. Probably jumps into top 10 after he wins the Finals MVP and the title this year.

He's gonna play at this level till he's 40.....

His prime is going last another 15 years. I think he'll be the unquestionable GOAT when it's all said and done, shattering just about every modern record along the way.

Him and Westbrook wil probably win 7-10 titles together.

When he's mid to late 30's he's still going to have his height and range to rely on so will still be able to drop 25+ easy.

Just as long as he doesn't have any long term health issues he should still be playing at an elite level well into his 30's.

That's the benefits of having your game primarily based on skill over athleticism

Grant Jerrett is a player who longterm is an intriguing prospect. Didn't OKC just sign him to a value deal for like the next 4 years?

Guy was reportedly shooting upwards of 72% from deep in draft workouts two years ago. He's been either hurt or in the d-league since but he could very well be another draft hit for OKC. He played great in the d-league.

This team is f*cking loaded and is going to constantly be getting better as long as they retain their core.

Easy to root for as well since almost all of the core guys were drafted here. None of that superteam bullshit.

Exactly.

And I still think he'll be fairly mobile in his later years. Heck, it's not out of the realm of possibility for him to play at 50.

You never know.
