So Young, So Good

The Oklahoma City Thunder. Let me say that again....The Oklahoma City Thunder...Trust me, you do not want to play this team in the post-season. This team is hungry and ready to make some noise in the Western Conference playoffs this year! After a dismal 23-59 record last season, the Thunder have already won 41 games and are currently on a 5 game win streak with 17 games remaining. They hold the tie-breaker with the Utah Jazz, who they are just a half game behind, looking to have home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Kevin Durant is capable of doing anything he wants offensively on the basketball court, which would make this team extremely difficult to deal with in a 7 game series. And lets not sleep on the rest of the team either. Russel Westbrook has just about made himself impossible to guard as well, putting up some serious numbers as of late, and they also have Jeff Green playing like the beast he was at Georgetown. If the season ended today, we would see a Thunder vs Jazz first round match up. And who wouldn't want to see arguably the best PG in the league in Deron Williams battle the Thunder in a playoff series? I'll Tell ya what though, If Lebron James wasn't the King, then Mr. Durant would have my vote for MVP of the NBA this season. Averaging just under 30 ppg, and had a 29 game streak of scoring over 25 points. But best of all has the THUNDER in the playoffs! I bet Portland is kicking themselves for not drafting him #1......
