The news came out today that Westbrook will be out indefinietly. I was reading an article on espn and Westbrook either scored or assisted on 29% of the Thunder's points during the regular season. Obviously a player like Westbrook going out is impossible to replace (especially in the middle of the playoffs). What do you think the Thunder's chances are now in the Playoffs?

Even before this my money was on the Spurs to get to the Finals from the west.

I think the Thunder can still be competitive in a 2nd round series though.

ehhh... without westbrook OKC will have to squeak out of the West after some long grueling series....now harden will be missed even more. But a shot at the Finals is not out of the question...just much much less likely.

I agree. I think the West is wide open now. I think the Spurs are the new favorites but there are other teams that could make a run at it too. Will be interesting. Bummed to see Westbrook go down.

I was disappointed to see Westbrook go down but I am really hoping to see the Clippers do something, but they looked pretty bad tonight.

it will be very interesting to see how Durant reacts to playing with a point guard that actually passes the ball.

+1 Durant will go for 40 now
