Westbrook has plenty of help. That isn't the issue. The issues are twofold:

1) he doesn't know how to best use the help he has
2) the Warriors are freaking great



Ton of talent but also an amazing system. Second only to Popovich.

I'm pretty sure they'd like a do over on that whole Kevin Durant fiasco.

What a clusterfuck that turned out to be.

Only because durant lied to the organization about his intentions.

The sad part is that he will never win a championship because he is stuck in Oklahoma and the Thunder simply is not willing to pay to build a championship team.
He'll ask to be traded within a few seasons when PG leaves.

I disagree. I believe it's on the Thunder coaching.

Some there too, for sure.

I thought Brooks was a terrible coach when he was in OKC. Now that he is in Washington, I actually think he is pretty solid.

I honestly don't think he will.

He might have left if KD had stayed. Now, OKC is his team and given the drama surrounding KD, I think he is Thunder for life, for better or worse.

Not sure that is fair.

I am sure his intention was to stay. But, he was presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity and he took it. So far it has worked out pretty well for him.

The bad part is if he would have stayed they had a very good chance of beating the warriors. Thunder should have beat them the year before.

I think KD's a clown. I wonder if he's still defending himself w/ fake accounts on social media?

They would have had about a 25% chance if both team were full strength.

Much of how close the 2016 series was had to do with Curry playing hurt. I don't think it would have been if Curry had been right.

Also, the Ibaka/Oladipo trade was a smart long term move, but I am not sure what the matchups would have looked like. Bludgeoning GS with extreme length was a big part of why they matched up as well as anybody. They lost a lot of that when Ibaka got traded.

I disagree. Ibaka was overrated. Average pf. He looked like he was going to be good then regressed. The trade would have made them match up better with GS. Oladipo coming off the bench would have been big.

Very weak minded. But he can play.

No doubt about that. How many more times will he get T'd up & kicked out games? All of the sudden this year KD's turned into a real Barney Badass.

I love it when that weak minded Barney Badass hoists championship trophies. Probably do so two more times minimum.

Yeah it was nice that KD joined the team he couldn't beat to finally win a ring. Personally I think the Warriors are full of jackasses. Draymond kicking opponents in the basket-balls. Steph getting angry & throwing his mouthpiece not once but twice. And KD's antics w/ the fake social media account nonsense.

I'll give them credit for being a great team but other than that I have nothing decent to say about them.
