OKC isn't going anywhere in the playoffs.

[INDI]

you are unbelievably delusional.
thunder are CLEARLY the most stacked team together with the Spurs. its not CLOSE

How in the world do you consider the thunder stacked? They literally have only 3 players of impact. The entire rest of the team are role players and not even specialists at their roles.

name me one role player that you show stands out and I can gaurantee you I can respond with a heat/clippers role player that is better. Even Westbrook and Ibaka have regressed. Westbrook because of injury and Ibaka though he is still good, he was better in previous seasons.


LMBO to call the spurs stacked when you can take about 11 of their players and put them on a different team and see a big drop in production. Popovich makes that ship go man.


you must be labeling those teams stacked to deflect attention from your own team so im going to assume you are either a heat/pacer/clipper fan and dont want people to call your team stacked so you try to deflect the attention somewhere else

[ArbitraryWater]

Wow.... the excuses piling up by the OKC fans are beyond pathetic

Championship or Bust


Get it done mothafukka

Reggie Jackson
now tell me another contender with that kind of back up Pointguard.
Jackson on some nights looks seriously better than Westbrook

[INDI]

Live by the ISO, die by the ISO. Too predictable to go far.

The rest of the team is pretty mediocre, and the coach is even worse. You got Kendbrick Scrubkins out there playing major minutes and contributing nothing when he should be retired, a soft overrated statue in Ibaka that gets raped by every decent big in the league, the ghost of Thabo that can't hit an open shot to save his life. And on the bench you got more skeletons like Fisher and Butler getting minutes while all the young promising players rot under Brooks.


When Durant/Westbrook don't combine for 70 points and go God mode the team can't do shit. I have been saying for a while Clippers will beat us, I stand by that statement. We are not getting out of the 2nd round if they keep playing like this.

Very good post and observation. This team has good role players but not the perfect fit for what needs to be around KD. When great teams start to slip their is usually players outside of the top 2 that can make a few big plays that normally provides the spark for the run. OKC does not have that. Ima a Brooklyn Nets fan but if they dont win it then im pulling for OKC but everytime I watch them it seems as if they are still a piece or two away from being a top tier contender

Reggie Jackson

Reggie Jackson is their best role player, and hes had a great year. The reason why his stats are high is because he had to play a ton of minutes with Westbrook out. But Reggies main asset is speed, hes not an excellent playmaker, defender, or 3pt marksman. At best he's decent at those things.

I would take Mario Chalmers over Reggie (which actually would be a good trade for both teams). Mario is a championship caliber pg that brings more composure, better 3pt shooting, hits clutch shots and can run a team better.

I dont even have to mention that I could've went the ray allen route but didnt want to be captain obvious.

OKC is very weak at the 2 and 5. Hardly stacked.

Wow you really have no idea what you are talking about do you?

the worst starting centre and shooting guard in the league. easily

still. perkins ma *****

You would take reggie jackson over Chalmers or ray allen?

Yall underrate Chalmers because of the big names that he plays alongside but go watch some of those playoff games from previous years and you will see that for small portions of the game Chalmers was the best player on the heat. Some games the only one that seemed to give a dam, and hit many clutch shots.

Stop getting your facts from box scores and other posters opinion, and go watch a few games

[J Shuttlesworth]

OK fansnly admitting that Durant isn't good enough to give them the assurance that they can win a ring on a stacked team

Chalmers is a starter. Isn't Jackson off the bench?

[T_L_P]

OKC had a chance to win it all when they were superstacked (like when they had Westbrook, Harden, Durant and Ibaka, at the same time).

Now all the excuses are coming out.

Well that answers my question, you clearly don't

Jackson and Chalmers actually have similar playing minutes and roles on their teams so I thought they would be good to compare with each other.

Jackson averaged 13/4/4 in roughly 30 min

Chalmers averaged 10/5/3 in roughly 30 min.

Again I could've have used Ray Allen due to the fact that he comes off the bench for the heat but I figured it to be a no brainer that the he would be considered a better role player. I chose Chalmers because Jackson has slightly better stats than him but I believe Chalmers is still the better role player on a contender.

Do you agree or disagree that both Chalmers and Ray are considered better role players?

damn, OKC fans are weak mentally.
