OKC Thunder
When you look at what they did in the finals last year, being up in game 2, you ask why couldn’t they sustain their lead? Is it the mentality of their players, or because they’re not good enough in the post? I still think they need someone other than Serge Ibaka to get points down low. Kendrick Perkins is an undersized big man who is not athletic and doesn’t add much for position defense. He doesn’t have an advantage against Randolph in Memphis, or Gasol in LA. I think it’s really going to hurt them because there’s a difference between Western Conference Champions and NBA Champions.
