What are the odds Golden State faces the THUNDER in the first round as the 1 seed? That would be a pretty shitty draw for them.
It's a dangerous matchup because of Durant and Westbrook, but the Thunder are fucked. Golden State wins in five or six. Fire Brooks and give it another go.
It's not just Durant and Westbrook that take their guy one on one. So does Jackson, so does Waiters, Morrow, and Ibaka. Their offense consists of taking turns going one on one.
Losing to the Knicks is a sign that you have bigger problems
No Durant, but I agree. And the health issues for Durant are problematic. A foot injury for a 7 footer is never good.
Particularly for a 7 footer that relies on his legs for his scoring - he's not a beast like Moses Malone that could still average a double double as a broken down old man
