Playoffs could happen if you look at the NBA Western Conference as a whole. Have to look at more than the Thunder’s upcoming games. This week is an important week for the Thunder because even though the the next game is friday. The division and conference can change greatly. Denver, Portland, Utah, etc. can drop up to 2-3 games before the Thunder touch the ground in Memphis and have the Thunder within 2 games in the standings and within 1-2 games closer in the conference in making a move into the 5 seed. The mighty Spurs are still finding ways to drop games and teams below them are dropping games so this might be the year where a .500 team might make the playoffs. No one has really taken conrol of the conference other than LA. So when it comes to possible playoffs have to look at more then just the Thunder’s upcoming schedule.

Darnell, I’ll say it: I rather want Ricky Rubio than James Harden. Rubio compliments Kevin Durant and Jeff Green; Harden is a carbon copy of the 2 Thunder stars (the same image). It’s just like Thabo Sefolosha and Harden: Sefolosha, with his defense, compliments the offense of Durant and Green, and so I want Thabo to be the Thunder’s starting 2. And most of all, Rubio makes the Thunder win more games and win the title earlier than Harden, and the Ford Center seats are more packed when Rubio is leading the break. You were referring to the Thunder hosting the Warriors, and there are 81 more games left in the season.
