I say give him another year or two and he could be deadly.

Getting to the off-season, I haven’t heard anyone talking about this, but isn’t Chris Bosch part of the free agent group this summer? And with all the Thunder’s cap space, wouldn’t his 20 and 10 make a nice addition to this young squad? The thought makes my mouth water! I think he would add a great deal to the team and make a fantastic mentor for Serge.

They play hard, are well-coached and listen. Rare in he NBA these days.

OKC could finish higher in the Western Conference next season if they shore up their defensive middle by finding a younger, Marcus Camby-like center (granted, not many out there). They need to add a consistent 3 pt. sharpshooter like a Korver, M.Miller, A.Afflalo or an A.Morrow to open things up for Durant, Green & Ibaka. They could really benefit if Westbrook transforms himself into a big time 3 pt. threat this summer; ditto J.Harden.

At the beginning of the season, I never saw 40+ wins and 2 playoff wins coming from this squad. No doubt one of the fastest rising teams in NBA history.
