I don't think he is consistent enough to get them to the promise land over the course of a series.

I'll go with yes.

They would've won last year if he stayed healthy and they kept Harden.

Of course they can.

It goes both ways...if the Thunder had Rondo (I'm a huge Rondo fan, by the way), people would be whining and complaining that Durant needs more help on offense.

They were pretty close just two years ago. They weren't anything special without him last year.

As long as Lebron is in the league, no.

They need a legit third scorer like Harden was before his no-show in the finals.

I don't think they can win it with Durant and Westbrook playing 2 on 5.

i honestly dont think so. I think he will
be trying to do it all himself and shoot them out of it if they make the finals

I know this it just made me laugh coming from Houston fans.

OKC even this year and into last played fine against Houston without Westbrook.

They were up like 3-1 or something against Houston when Westbrook got hurt and barely managed to scratch out the series in seven, and then proceeded to get handled by Memphis. They're good without Westbrook, but like borderline top ten good not finals contender good.

To answer the question of course they win a title with Westbrook at point guard. If you've been watching heat playoff games the more pertinent question is can the heat win a title when wade can't even get shots off and make basic passes come the 4th quarter of games

My bad they were up 2-0, he got hurt in game 2 and they won but finished the game and still played well. So they had a two game lead when he went out and they proceeded to go for 2-2, all close games, the rest of the series.

All I remembered was Okc seemingly had the series in hand until he went out and then it was a dogfight. I filled in the details erroneously

They could. If they get a legit #3 scorer.

They won't this year

Westbrook scored 38 last night, ripped Chris Paul in a critical possession, and he scored the game winning free throws, yet this question still exists?

This stupid question should never exist, but after last night?

I am mind blown that some people can consider a top PG a possible weakness. Even more mind blown when they bring it up after he drops 38.
