Last year a popular excuse was "wait till the thunder have injuries" around these boards..... well guys, Green has been out 2 weeks, Durant missed the last 2 and Thunder have won 4 in a row and 3 on road. Care to rethink the whole thunder injury comments? I mean they beat the freaking celts without durant. We are sinking and they are butterfly strokes. Makes me sick.
Everyone knows that the Celtics coast during the regular season more than any other team in the NBA. And Durant is still one of the most overrated players in the league.
I think I'm going to pretend to be the extreme optimist to counter MIXUM being the extreme pessimist. Blazers gonna finish #3 seed AT LEAST. When we get Pryz and Roy back, they'll be unstoppable. Durant will go 3/18 and 9 points next time we play OKC, who is losing in 1st round again (assuming they make it in). One of the most overrated teams in the league. Why are we even talking about them?
Why are people bitching? They're fucking good, we knew they were going to be good and they're demonstrating it. 5 years of top ten lottery picks should do that for a team -- especially when two of them (Westbrook and Durant) look like top 20 to 10 players.
