Season Preview: Oklahoma Thunder

Might as well start the previews with a team that intrigues me as much as my little finger. Durant and Green do not impress me as much as I expected and their lack of development into NBA stars will prove to be the Thunder's downfall this season, and in seasons to come. This team was worst in the NBA last year in the Simple Rating System statistic. In other words, their opponents regularly beat the crap out of them. The one thing that this team can look forward to, is that they are well under the salary cap and have the money to bring in one of the megastars in the 2010 free agent sweepstakes.

Poot's Stat Buster: Kevin Durant

This is not a good stat my friends...29% from downtown last year. Isn't that what this kid was supposed to be built for?

Taco Bell Menu Comparison:
Cheesy Double Beef Burrito

It's only 89 cents so you aren't expecting much, but the massive quantity of beef (Kevin Durant) truly overwhelms the rest of the potentially yummy ingredients. Come in hungry, leave with a stomach ache. The true Thunder way.

Season Record: 21-61
