Not that it's unexpected, but I was worried about this team before he got back.

Re: Damn, the Thunder look much better with WB
2nd best team in the league and one of the few real title contenders

Re: Damn, the Thunder look much better with WB
Durant's my favorite player in the league, but Russ is the engine of the team. It's quite obvious now.

Re: Damn, the Thunder look much better with WB
OKC was one of the worst ballhandling teams I've ever seen without him. Glad to see him back.

Re: Damn, the Thunder look much better with WB
About every OKC fan would have told anyone that would listen this team isn't built, at all, to cater to just one All-Star caliber player. There's just not enough offensive threats/shot creators to help Russ or KD if they're by their self. I do think Russ is the heart of the team, though. He just brings that relentless passion and energy every night and, despite popular opinion, is almost a perfect compliment to the more laid back, "pick my spots" Durant.

Re: Damn, the Thunder look much better with WB
Durant's far and away the better player, yes, but Russ is the engine. As in, the team builds off of his energy, heart, and passion. That's irreplaceable. Originally Posted by Blackisbig

Altho there's been plenty of reason to believe OTHER star caliber players would be a better FIT with Durant.
And I'm pretty sure that's all anyone's said about it.
