Lebron stans this aint the same OKC as last time.

2016 Westbrook is also a lot better than 2012. Better passer, better all around player, simply more dominant on offense.

Durant and Westbrook were babies last time. They want revenge and they are in their peak. Doesn't guarantee a ring, but you have to favor them over everyone right now. Still gotta close out Golden State first.

Coaching is the biggest change since 2012 IMO apart from Adams being superior to Har_en obviously.

Would SCott fakkit Brooks have played Kanter (who was good against spurs but doesnt belong in this GS matchup with his alltime bad D) 9 minutes tonight!!! HELLL FCKING NO that btch would prolly play Kanter more than Adams

We'll have to see how they match up against each other. In 2012, before the finals, OKC were looking a lot better than Miami and Harden was looking like a god. Things changed after the finals started. Right now, OKC is looking like the best team. Cavs aren't even sure of beating Raps.

[R.I.P.]

Should have known it. Since 2011 only the Rockets have not reached the NBA finals/won the title, when facing the Mavs in the 1st round.

Donovan is adjusting on the fly! He IS the biggest difference maker, NO QUESTION. Coaching ****ing matters!

Donovan has out-coached Popovich and Kerr thus far, Tyronn Lue isn't even in the same zipcode as those guys when it comes to coaching.

OKC-Cavs is 50/50

Cavs beat them both times this season but OKC looks good right now

regular season record don't mean jack in the playoffs
