OKC's superstars are good enough to blow away just about anyone in the league and make crunch time irrelevant. But when games actually get close like in Golden State and every possession matters, everything falls on Durant and Westbrook's shoulders. This would be okay if they Cheap NBA 2K18 MT could play off each other, but so far that hasn't happened. One of them gets the ball 20 or 30 feet from the basket and they go one-on-one from there. This is not promising. Especially for the playoffs, when games get close every night. Kendrick Perkins is taking up space. Playing Perk too much may have cost
OKC a chance in the Finals last year, and the Valentine's Day Heat game was mostly proof that the Perk problem hasn't gone away. Against OKC's biggest rival, Kendrick Perkins is counter-productive.

Or blame Thunder management because they weren't willing to shell out another $6 million to Harden. Or blame everyone for not waiting nine months to revisit things. Or remember that OKC probably gets
Toronto's lottery pick this year, and it may be too early to judge all this. Either way, here we Cheap NBA Live Coins are This article writes itself after Wednesday. But you could write it every day, and between now and June you'll probably read all this 500 times. Because it's all true, and it will never stop being incredible that one of the best four teams in basketball traded maybe the best shooting guard in the NBA so they could keep Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka instead.As Thunder beat writer Darnell Mayberry wrote after Wednesday's Rockets game, "It’s convenient to say it’s only one loss for the Thunder and just one win for the Rockets.
