OKC Is Good, Really Good

Durant is as good or better as expected.  Harden is just a straight baller, clutch, ballsy, good decision maker, easily the best 6 man in the world.  Westbrook is still a wildcard, but less so than in previous years.

They plowed by the Spurs and the Spurs were no joke.  They weren't athletic, but they were good.  It seems like they may have peaked a tad early.  Or, another way to look at it, they played a super weakened Clippers team and an inferior Utah team which made them look better than they were.  But still, in those first two games, they were working the Thunder.  But the Thunder are so good, they improved right before our eyes during the series.

Funny tid bit on Inside the NBA last night - Barkley mentioned all the teams who were hesitant about drafting Durant because he could bench press only 125lbs during his workout were now regretting it.  Durant had a funny retort "basketball don't weight that much."  True dat.
