The Lone Granger Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 The Thunder enter Sunday's game against the Blazers having won 11 of its past 13, with its last two losses coming by a combined eight points. The Thunder's playoff seeding has essentially been set. With a four-game lead over Denver, it would take a near choke job for the Thunder to fall out of the fourth seed, even with two games remaining against the Nuggets. http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/wiretap/photos/2006/Perkins_Kendrick_okc_110321.jpg At this point, the Thunder is more focused on enhancing chemistry with the three players it acquired at the trading deadline, Kendrick Perkins, Nazr Mohammed and Nate Robinson. Oklahoma City is 11-4 since the two trades but 11-2 in games in which the new additions have played and 5-1 with Perkins as a starter. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/212581/Thunder_Peaking_As_Playoffs_Near What a season this team has had. Their trade deadline was perfect for their needs, and right now if they keep playing this way, they have a shot to compete in the West for the Finals. They have a ton of talent, and a lot of scorers, and I'm very interested to see what happens with them in the postseason. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JYD Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Perkins is exactly what they needed on that team...as long as he stays healthy. I think they could definitely make a deep run in the playoffs. Wouldn't be surprised with a WCF finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
