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.

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.

IMO they could have if they had kept Harden or hadn't signed that atrocious contract with Perkins.

I don't think this roster as currently constructed (or with this coach for that matter) will win a title. They could tweak it though and find a missing piece).

Durant goes 6-22 and no other player scores in double figures.

Thunder do not win that game with any PG other than Westbrook.

There's is that persistent risk that he can shoot them right out of a game on any given night. I vote no.

Teams scheme for him and he doesn't adjust his game if he's having an off night.

He's not a PG.
