No Westbrook

[Wishbone]

This leg thing is kind of fishy but the Thunder have no other point guards. Reggie Jackson and Derek Fisher are bandaids at best. Get well Russ!

Thunder are in trouble this year. They really need another scorer. Even with Westbrook healthy it will be hard for them to make it out the 2nd round this year. They have a lot of role players but not much spot up shooters.

If they want to be successful with only these 2 guys, they will need to surround them with deadly shooters as my Heat did with Wade and Lebron.

Unless Lamb plays as he did at Uconn, OKC won't make it to the finals.

i think OKC will be fine, because Westbrook inst out that long, and i think OKC can make the playoffs without him. The main thing is to get him healthy and ready for the post season and that's going to happen. So don't sweat it man.

Making the playoffs is not the issue. Winning in the playoffs is even with him.

They will be a top 3 seed probably but hard to see them getting to the WCF without having any shooters or a 3rd man to help him and KD in a best of 7 series when teams are locked in on stopping them

Reggie Jackson does show promise, but needs more NBA experience.

Russ is getting better, but is still better suited to the SG position.

Don't write Reggie off yet.

Westbrook will be fine. Jackson will be much better for the experience. Lamb needs to step up. Perry Jones could be huge this season.
If these things happen the Thunder are the team to beat.

When Westbrook does come back how about letting Reggie Jackson play PG while Westbrook goes to the SG
position he played in college?

I believe that would work best in the long run for my native city's team.
