Can people stop acting like teams should be afraid of OKC?

[avonbarksdale]

how about the bulls? they already beat cleveland, okc and the spurs this season .

so did the raptors

[lilteapot]

so did the raptors

I guess according to bulls fans that means the raptors are also contenders

or also the Bucks since they ended the streak

Bucks have beaten GSW and Cle. Conf Finals here we come!

We contendas.

Not quite afraid but I imagine most teams don't want to see the Thunder in the playoffs, they're a more fun version of the Grizzlies in a sense that they probably won't ever win the title, but will be a pain in the butt for the true title contenders in the playoffs

[MMM]

Are the bulls even a playoff team???

They look closer to a non playoff team than contender at the moment and this team would love getting the Rose from a year ago. I wouldn't write them completely off but the team looks washed

[AirBonner]

It's obvious that they just aren't very good outside of KD, Russ and Ibaka. The only teams that you need to be afraid of are Cleveland, Golden State and the Spurs.

Cleveland might struggle, but Spurs and GS would wipe the floor with OKC.

Agree. They would probably lose to the Rockets yet people "fear them"

They are still a scary team to play against in a series because their 2 stars are capable of wearing down the opposition.

Kawhi would lock Durant up then you got left is Westbrook hero ball shooting bad percentage shots the rest of the series. Not difficult

I'd say they're about a 5-8 seed playoff team in the east if they're lucky. At this point the Bulls are a touch team that'll beat up on a contender on its way to the finals. But the Bulls do not have the talent to get there anymore.

I'm sure Pop is as confident as you are in the Spurs blasting OKC

[Spurs m8]

There's no real contenders in the East

Okc is cursed.

You know what I'm afraid of?

The 80's and 90's. Particularly the basketball that went down then. Read up about it.

It was essentially a legal way to kill people, and they called it a sport to cover it up.
