re: You have to wonder if OKC's title is going to be a one off

They only won game 7 last year due to Halliburton popping his achilles.

Eventually they're going to make a move. They have an absolute war chest but will consolidating all of that down to a star player cost them?

You can’t go down that road of injury wins because then you have to do same with SA playing 3 injured teams this year.

SA won the series but needed that miracle 3 in game 1. It was a 7 game series and SA was best this year. They didn’t win because of injuries just like OKC didn’t win last year because of injuries. Playoffs always have players injured but its not an excuse nor credit.

As for OKC they will be back better next year. They don’t have to make a lot of big moves. Get JDub healthy, get Ajay healthy and then get their first rounder Sorber healthy. Thats 3 big players to add.

Chet was a no show this entire series. We won West last 2 years because of him and he plays great against the other 28 teams. At the same time you can’t have a player disappear for games against SA. I doubt he goes anywhere but he was flat out worse than bad last night. Still young. Presti will figure it out.

Dort is likely gone along with some bench players. Cason can move into his slot.

Presti has 2 first round picks and a 2nd. He can’t use them not enough room on roster. What he does at draft I don’t know, but he’ll figure it out. He could package and trade up. He could draft and trade. He could trade out of draft except one.

They'll be back. And lets not discount other teams who are not going to sit idle and let SA and OKC run things for next several years. Thats the challenge all teams face, the tax starts to hit and teams have to manage players. Some teams will be comers.
