re: OKC Will Never Win a Championship

The Jazz problem was they only knew one way to play: Pick and roll with Stockton/Malone over and over and over. 18 years of that come hell or high water, beating their head against a wall. Jerry Sloan and that front office was the definition of insanity.
The Thunder's problem is they have two superstars who don't compliment each other and have never figured out how to function down the stretch of close games. IMO, they'd have a ring by now if Durant and Westbrook just switched personalities. Durant is a more efficient scorer who can get any shot off anytime he wants because of his height and wingspan, but he's often passive. Westbrook is an alpha but plays out of control, turns it over and takes bad shots in crunch time.

I really don't think you've ever watched the Thunder if that's what you truly believe

Perfect and spot on. But despite this, I think they'll get one eventually. They're still young. But I agree, Durant and Westbrook are both top 10 players that don't compliment each other.
