The only problem I had with SS before is that it was obvious he was critiquing them and hadn't watched them. Now, it's obvious he got to watch them and now respects them. With that said, they don't need another super start, they've already got two: Dub and Chet - they just haven't turned into super starts yet. Next year they'll be that much better and the year after that, stars. What they need is a 4-5 year vet big. Not too old as to disrupt the youthful flow, but someone with some experience. I think Jarrett Allen would be a great fit. Defending and rebounding. There's also been talk of Markkanen, who would fit in with great 3 point shooting and would space the floor even more, plus scoring and rebounding. The only thing with him is that he's never played more than 70 games. In the end, Sam Presti will no doubt make the right moves this off season and you should expect to see OKC in the conf finals if not the finals.

Sure OKC was No.1 after the regular season, however the west this year was very close,.. first 6 teams were in top 7 in all NBA (only Boston from the east is on this level). Dallas was no.5 but if you'd have watched their games it was clear that they were better than that after P.J. and Gafford joined. So NO,.. eventhough OKC was No.1, they were not clear favorites at all. I called Dallas the favorites but I was aware that it should be a big battle.
