How far can OKC go without Westbrook?

How far?

With a 2-0 lead a Durant they can still beat Houston but LAC and MEM can both knock them out.

Wouldn't shock me. I would prefer Memphis now since they are weaker at PG. But still it will be very tough to win either matchup. They would need to really step up as a team to make that happen.

Not impossible though but if I'm setting the odds either gets it over OKC.

Unless I see something special happen with this team, I agree. Reggie Jackson has improved so much this season but he isn't ready to fill the kind of void Westbrook leaves. It will have to everyone stepping up. Jackson,Fisher, Ibaka and Martin mainly. I expect to see Martin's minutes go up to help with the scoring.

Read that Jackson has only played 30+ min once in his career and it was the last game of the season. I hope fish plays a ton because Bev and Lin can play by the old guy and create some offense.

Jackson played in 50 games this year but didn't have a ton of minutes in most games. 3rd year player, very athletic. He will get the start over Fish I would imagine. Much better defender and athlete then Fish. But is he ready for this moment? I guess we will see.

I bet you they wish they still had Harden now.

Truth.

OKC can go all the way...to the cellar. It's possible they can limp their way to WCF, but it's inevitable that they get ousted. Atleast i hope so, just so Miami can get a decent challenge in the finals.

It will be interesting. Get to see just what level of superstar KD is. It's heavy on his shoulders now.
