I just don't see how a Kings team with such little chemistry, experience and leadership (and coaching) can defeat an up-and-coming, overly-talented Thunder team with a legitimate MVP candidate in Kevin Durant (a candidate assuming they were to win 50 games, which is a stretch beyond belief, haha). Westbrook and Green can give the Thunder 20 points, and Harden could play very well off the bench, assuming he's going to take that role with Thabo starting.

 

Evans and Martin can certainly cause the Thunder problems, but if they want to win this game, they will have to rely on the play of Thompson and Hawes, as the Thunder are still lacking defense in their frontcourt.

 

At the end of the night, I expect OKC to pull out a win.

The Thunder have come out strong in this one. They're currently up 47-30 with over EIGHT minutes left in the 1st half. I can see them scoring more than 115 points in this one! They're all scoring well. Durant has 10 and both Kristic and Green have 11.

Russell Westbrook is doing a great job of controlling the flow of this game. He's setting up his team mates, shooting well, and his court awareness is high. Thunder end the first half with 68 points, and I know its against the Kings, but that's still impressive.

Way too much offense. The Thunder are going to end up looking like the 2007 Suns in a couple of seasons. They need that one solid defensive-minded player (ex. a Raja Bell) that will knock down the shot when needed, and take the load off of Durant and Harden on the other side of the ball.

 

Sacramento is rebuilding, and they sure are bad at hiding it.
