Pretty much this list or something close to it. What's crazy to me is that OKC has arguably two top 5 guys and there is a good chance they're not getting out of the 2nd round. Really puts into perspective the mountain we have to climb.

OKC never found the right coach (and still hasn't). Additionally, they haven't done much to improve the roster around KD and Russ. They turned James Harden and Reggie Jackson into Steven Adams and Enes Kanter. But yeah, the other problem is that OKC just happens to be competing at the same time as two GOAT teams. _________________ 14-5-3-12

I would have to say they never really found complementary players to surround Westbrook and Durant who were content in their roles. When you had guys like Harden and Reggie Jackson that wanted to break out, they were treated like the 3rd wheel on the team and had to go find their breakout roles on another team.

They got a 26 year old Tyson Chandler for virtually nothing but then vetoed the trade because they were concerned about his back issues. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Kawhi over Durant?
I think 3-5 are all interchangeable. Pretty close. _________________ Music is my medicine

Kawhi over Durant?
I vacillate between thinking Kawhi's already eclipsed Durant (based primarily on his performance advantages on the defensive side of the court) and thinking it's maybe too soon to consider that possibility ... regardless, 7 - 33 with 7 turnovers by Durant tonight is a (bleep) abomination. I didn't catch the game ... who was even guarding him? Does Dallas even have a SF on its roster?
Needless to say, tonight's was not a game to cement Durant's position in the Top 5. I know we've developed a cottage industry here in LA built around small, coordinated groups of individuals arguing that missed FGA and turnovers don't really matter at all ... but c'mon, man. It wouldn't surprise me to learn 1/2 of Oklahoma City is probably cool with Durant and/or Westbrook walking once their UFA windows open (albeit with some S&T remuneration). Seriously - how can they continue to (bleep) the bed with that much talent? The roster in Dallas is one step up from the one in Memphis right now ... OKC should be running them out of the gym.
