Do you think OKC will be dangerous in the playoffs? Dangerous enough to upset GS and HOU cause of matchup problems

They're the only playoff team with a losing record in close games. That inability to close out games is absolutely going to come back to bite them in the playoffs.

Playoff Pg actually shoots worse than regular season Pg.



The only season he shot worst in the playoff was last season...Unless you want to count his rookie season and the season where hes not even consider an all star yet...He was the one defending Lebron while having to be carry them on the offensive end last season.

PG can guard Durant too. OKC has huge size advantage on them too. Nobody on Golden State can guard Westbrook or PG. OKC will win the rebounding game against them too.

Melo just has to show up too thats all. The big key here is the matchup problems OKC gives Houston and Golden State

George can't guard Harden as well as Roberson can. Harden will have an easier time scoring on OKC this year compared to last year.


Meh, Paul George did a pretty good job on Harden two weeks ago. That was a pretty mediocre game for Harden, shooting-wise at least.

The thing is that they cause matchup problems for both Houston and Golden state. Huge matchup problems for both of those teams. Steven Adams will dominate the boards. Paul george can guard both Harden and Durant. I think they are capable of upsetting both Houston and Golden State. They need at least 15-20 pts a game from Melo though


LOL no. Stopped reading after you wrote "OKC is a dangerous team". :lol:
