Solid article on OKC in Sport Illustrated:

AND it's not behind a paywall...
ESPN @ 6pm. OKC has a chance to complete the stunting on the top teams in the East. Should be a fun one!
ESPN still thinks the Cavs are better , just ranked them #1 in power rankings again even after an extremely impressive stretch by the Thunder. Hopefully we go in there and leave no doubt tonight!
Chet needs to come back in a big way, need his presence of another big. Caruso needs to hurry up too.
IMO with the game being played in Cleveland; the onus is on the Cavs to protect home court. A Thunder victory without two starters 'Chet & Alex' speaks volumes for OKC.
^Caruso is not a starter. He comes off the bench. Regardless, missing him and Ajay Mitchell will be tough. And obviously Chet.
They start 3 guys 6-10 or above. I really worry about our size vs a team like them without Chet. Hopefully our Quickness will win out or we can make 3's shoot at least 40% we have a chance
Oklahoma City Thunder 122 @ Cleveland Cavaliers 129

Yep kind of what I expected. Without Chet their size would kill us. We shot 35.5% from 3. We needed to make just a couple more. Still a win in my book. Cavs are fully healthy Chet will make a huge difference in a game like this. So will Caruso. OKC will be much better come June when we play them again.
Great game with 30 lead changes but yeah, that lack of size in the paint hurt us. Also, Cleveland is just a good team. I feel pretty darn good about this team though.
