Regarding injuries, this is true. That could really stifle their progression. However, they have shown they can win without Danilo and Noel. I thought Capela and Houston would eat a little without having the defensive presence of Noel in the paint. But Furgeson was huge in his defense on Harden, and OKC’s three ball handlers ran all over them. Damn game was over in the first quarter.

As long as the three guards can stay healthy, they will always be a threat in games, but if one of them goes down, then that would kill their entire system.

But OKC is winning like crazy....mad draft picks, solid young players to build around, good coach, good fan base, healthy salary cap. Rebuilding without a drop off, and could possibly contend.

Lost harden, didn’t skip a beat
Lost Ibaka, didn’t skip a beat
Lost Durant, didn’t skip a beat
Lost Westbrook, not skipping a beat.

Can any other franchise say that for an entire decade?

No need to break what is working. Don’t make any moves to the end of the year.
