Both teams have guys who can get to the rack and get to the line. Both teams feature similar-style bigs who can protect the rim. The obvious edge for the Rockets is that they have James Harden. Yet and still, if the Thunder are able to neutralize Harden’s ability to take good shots and get to the line ..read more

The Beginning In 2009, the Oklahoma City Thunder assembled the best drafted team of (arguably) all time. Sam Presti started this three-year run of stellar drafting by taking Kevin Durant at #2 in the 2007 NBA draft. Durant was a couple pounds of muscle from being a sure thing in the league, as he would go on to win Rookie of the Year that season. The team, then the Seattle Supersonics, would move to Oklahoma City after Durant’s first season. The next year, Presti took Russell Westbrook at #4 and Serge Ibaka at #24 in the 2008 draft. Westbrook would make the rookie first team while Ibaka would ..read more

Even though Oklahoma City swept the regular season series, all four games we ..read more
