They didnt make it out the first round because of injuries and lack of players
You guys still sleeping on Memphis Grizzlies? :what:

He's a really good player, just not the type of scorer that will get them over the hump in close playoff games due to the fact and not really his problem but he gets doubled on the block in crunch and has no 2 or 3 to take that pressure off him....this forces him to take lower % shots, something a 2 or 3 threat would allieviate
...or that Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, or the supporting cast could alleviate.
2010 - so the Thunder were suppose to win a championship with dudes that were barely out of college?
2011 - same applies as above
2012: They went to the Finals with a bunch of dudes who were in the mid-20s, that's a feat in itself. Playing against arguably the best SG, SF, PF in the league.
2014: Was Ibaka not injured for two games of that SA series? They weren't healthy.
So yeah your argument is leaking. Since their finals defeat, the Thunder haven't been healthy to the point we can say "OKC couldnt win when they were healthy".
OKC cant win a ring where they have to count on 2 or 3 players to win the whole thing.
So in other words, they cant win healthy or non healthy.
No, so in other words your argument is false.

I just dont believe theyre enough to win a title....theyre still missing something
That's all you had to say instead of coming up with weak, baseless arguments. If you had just said this initially, you wouldn't have made yourself look like an epic troll with an axe to grind against Z-Bo/the Grizzlies.
MEM blew Game 4 and won Game 5 IN OKC
2014 series should have easily been 4-1.
Don't believe the hype of OKC, with Scott Brooks leading them
Or with Durant and Westbrook on the same team.

Z-Bo still aint good enough to lead them to a title and in the last two series he has played, has not been very consistent
I didnt say anything about AGE. You are using age as a factor. They were healthy when they were in the finals. No excuses.
As much as I shyt on Brooks and don't think he can lead them to a Championship, I can't ignore the fact that if you're put in that position over and over (a team that's consistently contenders), you'll see the error in your ways and by the law of averages, you'll eventually come out on top.
