John Rohde: “OKC players currently dominate this season’s plus/minus standings. Kevin Durant sits comfortably at No. 1 (+437), Russell Westbrook is No. 2 (+372), Kevin Martin is No. 5 (+316), Thabo Sefolosha is No. 10 (+264), Nick Collison is No. 15 (+247), Serge Ibaka is tied at No. 17 (+240) and Kendrick Perkins is No. 22 (+208). Therefore, it stands to reason the Thunder also dominates combinations of multiple players. Durant-Westbrook (+374) is the landslide leader in the two-man combo ahead of San Antonio’s Tim Duncan-Tony Parker (+313). Durant-Martin (+299) is No. 3, Sefolosha-Durant (+261) is No. 7, Westbrook-Martin (+249) is No. 10, Durant-Ibaka (+240) is No. 11, Sefolosha-Westbrook (+228) is No. 13, Westbrook-Ibaka (+224) is No. 17 and Perkins-Durant (+216) is No. 20.”
5-on-5 picking the dunk contest, Graydon Gordian of 48 Minutes of Hell went with KD: “Durant might be one of the most underrated in-game dunkers in the league. His dunks are high-flying and mean-spirited. And his length gives him the potential to come up with some pretty inventive dunks.” Keep Reading…

Each week the Thunder roster gets ranked and the games that were get reviewed. Who stood out and who didn’t? Week 14 is now in the books, so how did things for Oklahoma City go?
WEEK 1 | WEEK 2 | WEEK 4 | WEEK 5 | WEEK 6| WEEK 7 | WEEK 8 | WEEK 9 | WEEK 10 | WEEK 11 | WEEK 12 | WEEK 13
With Kyrie Irving torching the Thunder in crunchtime Saturday night, Oklahoma City dropped to just 9-7 in games decided by two possessions or less this season.
For a team that features not only two of the best players in the world, but two of the best closers in the world, 9-7 doesn’t seem to be all that terrific. I know what you’re thinking too: James Harden murmur murmur murmur. Yeah, losing a really great player like Harden certainly has impacted the way the Thunder have performed at times. Except in games decided by two possessions or less last season, the Thunder were 12-11 (For comparison: The Heat are 8-4 in games decided by two possessions or less, the Spurs 11-6.) So I don’t think it’s fair to read into anything there. Keep Reading…
