[quote="livindajetlife, post: 7692270, member: 317]The thing is about the thunder its not gonna be Durant or Westbrook that's gonna beat us.. just like when we played them 2 years ago. It was harden.. Reggie Jackson n lamb n them boys hoopin in the reg season but can they do that when it matter.. I say not yet. We good[/quote]
Durant did kill us though. Ibaka and Perkins got inexplicably hot and Harden was hitting clutch daggers down the stretch, but let's not forget Durant was their go-to closer and was killing us in the second half of games 3-6, and was the primary person responsible for the outcome of the series. He's even better now. Russ had a subpar series.
I hate to say it, but they really did make us look old and athletically inferior. You can talk about who can score what, but remember they like +19 in turnover margin. They were getting in passing lanes and creating chaos and turning it into transition points. And when they put Sefolosha on Parker full time started switching screens they shut down our pick and roll and we had no answer.
I'm scared of the Thunder honestly. Not saying we can't or won't beat them, but right now it's about a 50/50 imo. Home court would help.
