I don't see a point in playing him for. We win we get the akers on Sunday....We Win and we get the Lakers on Sunday.....

Thoughts?

I'd probably give James Harden and Serge Ibaka the start over Thabo and Durant with Green shifting over to the three.

Rotation for tonight:

Russell Westbrook/Eric Maynor
James Harden/Kyle Weaver
Jeff Green
Serge Ibaka/DJ White
Nenad Krstic/Nick Collison

but I'm not this guy

Are they going to call Weaver back for the playoffs?

If Durant plays and goes 6/6 from the line or better he'll reach 90% and IMO have indisputably the best FT shooting season of all time.

He'll probably rest though.

I thought i saw a wiretap earlier that said OKC wont rest players, but i searched and can't find it. I see no real problem playing the 'stars' tomorrow. Big break til the Lakers game and it would be nice to find some kind of rhythm after ended the season pretty poorly.

To add to the free throw thing, if KD plays he needs 19 to average 30 exactly (Obviously is he doesn't play he's already over 30). If he does play though i can see him getting limited minutes, miss a free throw and fail to reach both.

Apart from that i'm pretty excited for the first playoffs since the Jerome James era.

I agree with seattlefan35, they probably wont rest anyone tonight, also KD will play at least 30-33 minutes. Also true, that we should end the season on a high note, getting that 50th win and give the home crowd something to cheer for.
I just hope they go into the series against LA with the right mindset and attitude.
They kinda gottan a little overconfident the last couple of weeks I believe, which showed especially on the defensive end.
Hope thats gonna change at Los Angeles (or even tonight) and we take it to the Laker players really hard.
Let them sweat, let them suffer, let them wonder what they can do against this Thunder team

)

Yeah baby, playoffs here we come!!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

Motto of that series: Don't expect anything, but aim for everything!
