    It sure helps your percentage when damn near every missed shot is called a foul instead.

    @ESPNStatsInfo: Lakers at Thunder tonight. This season the Lakers are 1-10 in road games vs Western Conference teams ahead of them in the standings

    Not impressed with OKC at all. Yeah I know they won easily tonight against the Lake show, but losing Harden has hurt them big time. Kevin Martin is not anywhere close to filling JH's shoes. They are worse than last year. Miami should cruise in the finals.

    I'll regurgitate Charles Barkley's thoughts on this. Match-up wise, I think that there are two teams that could knock them off - San Antonio and Memphis. The problem is, I don't see either of them getting past the Thunder in the West.

    I believe Indiana has a tiny chance against them in the playoffs too.

    I think it's a forgone conclusion Miami will win it all, I don't think any team can beat them in a 7 game series unless there's a serious injury or something.

    I'm so confused. Not impressed at all? 44-16? Third best record in the NBA? On pace to win 60 games? What DOES impress you? Just because Miami is going to win the championship, doesn't mean OKC isn't a great team. I guess you'll never be impressed with the Blazers.

    I think it is unwise to underestimate San Antonio. They are deeper than before and good, as always.

    Honestly, I get the feeling that OKC will never win a championship with Westbrook AND Durant. They're both #1 options.

    What impresses me? Their team last year impressed me. Even losing to Miami they impressed me as being the team to beat in the West. I thought they were dominant with their three headed monster of Westbrook, Durant and Harden.

    They are not nearly as intimidating as last year. Watching a soft Kevin Martin throw up air balls last night, vs having a strong James Harden attacking the basket is a huge difference. Hey I realize they are still one of the best teams in the league, but they have taken a big step backwards IMO. They are beatable in the West this year. Last year I did not think they were.

    Okc will never win a title. The bad karma following them will forever ruin any chance they get. Plus Westbrook thinks he is Durants equal.

    What bad karma? They've had nothing but good fortune since moving.

    Stealing the team from Seattle. And they had success; but no titles. Never again.

    Seattle was doing a pretty good job of never winning titles again before the buyout.
