I was wrong about the Thunder. I thought they would get exposed in the playoffs once teams had time to prepare for them. But I overlooked the fact that there isn't a team out there who can match their talent and youthful energy.
I've really come to admire Kevin Durant during these playoffs. And I'm starting to think that he, not LeBron, could become the new "face" of the NBA. He's the best offensive player in the world at this point, and nobody can convince me otherwise. He can score in several ways, rebound, and assist. He's humble, hungry, and he's only twenty freaking three.
Looking around the western conference, I think OKC has it on lock-down for the foreseeable future. If they keep Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, and Harden as their core with some solid role players around them, they could be a dynasty. They're just ridiculously young. OKC/Miami should be an epic rivalry for a good while.
