Do we REALLY trust Kanter to play good enough D to stay on the court? Actually he hasn't in this series, but it hasn't mattered because the small lineup is killing GSW. And two good offensive games from Roberson and some great defense and decision-making on O from Dion are things we simply haven't seen from those players before. Do we really trust them to do this consistently??
I will HAPPILY accept the L if the Thunder win the title. I hope they do. But based on what we've seen from these players for years I have no confidence we won't see them revert to form.
And yes the Harden trade was still dumb. Presti misgauged the salary cap. Basically gave up a shot at contending in 2012-13 for the sake of the future. And if he was going to trade him he should've been able to get more. Who's to say OKC would still be ringless in 2016 if they'd kept him or gotten a better deal for him?
