Russel Westbrook is a savage this year the won the All star MVP 2015 and he has 5 tripple doubles in a row. This kid is elevated. Kevin Durant has been having injuries so we can't see him on the court. Kevin Durant is working hard to shake off those injuries by keeping fresh, he missed the America games getting ready for the season. Kevin Durant was the number 1 player in the league, he was winning games without Westbrook along side him. Russel is doing the same thing name, hence his injury on the face it can't stop him from attacking the ream.

interesting facts
. "Serge Ibaka is one fast learner." The third-year forward from the Congo has been on a rapid ascent to becoming the league’s premier shot blocker. The Thunder probably saw this kind of potential in Ibaka from Day One. Not only will the organization praise him for his work ethic, but his ability to adapt might be more impressive. Consider this: by the age of 19, Ibaka had lived on three different continents, learned three different languages and adapted to the NBA game to where he led the league in blocks this season. After leaving the Congo for Spain, Ibaka’s coach at the time, Jaume Ponsarnau, said he became fluent in Spanish within three months without any formal language lessons. “I remember his eyes, they were of an intelligent person,” Ponsarnau said a few years ago. “He was trustworthy, and I really wanted to work with him. He had the intelligence and the virtue to understand things.” When Ibaka got to the Thunder, he barely spoke a lick of English. The team had an English teacher, who was from his native country, come to the practice facility for English lessons in the media workroom after reporters had left for the day. To the media, Ibaka spoke broken English during his rookie year, and while he wasn’t comfortable in front of cameras," I can’t recall him turning down an interview. If he was insecure, he never showed it. A year later, his confidence, both on the court and with a new language, shot up tenfold." ( Hype hoops.com) Ibaka’s got an amazing story.
Kevin Durant is having injuries he broke his pinky toe and Westbrook hurt got “ a fracture of his zygomatic arch in his face.”(CBSSports). Though his back in action and KD is coming back in a couple of days.
My prediction
Am pretty confident that the OKC will make it to the playoffs this year. They are playing Golden State if they make it, which is in good position. I can't say Warriors will have an easy win who knows the OKC can make nit though they are missing their players.
The OKC should draft some rookies and trade good players for them to be a good team next year. If they do it OKC will be one of the best teams next year.
