    With both Durant and Westbrook out, OKC might not even make the playoffs in the tough WC.

    Yeah, that hurts...Durant was supposed to be out 10-12 weeks. Still don't know how long Russell is out until tomorrow. They might not have their full team healthy until next year in January, if that. By then, they could be well out of the reach for the PO's...

    For a no-touch policy on the perimeter, nba players sure do hurt their hands a lot. :rolleyes:

    I guess this puts the loss of Randle in perspective. I can't say this makes me feel better however. The Thunder are a team we could get a win off now. I hate that injuries feel more than ever part of N.B.A basketball.

    Not all that weird honestly. When I heard he'd had no injuries since high school I knew he was going to start getting hurt here. You can't play the way he does without tremendous strain on your body. That kind of strain means ligament stretches, bone fracturing, etc etc. Very strenuous on the body and there's no chance you keep going without injury that way.

    As for the Thunder. DAMN! Their best player is suddenly Serge Ibaka... That's not good.

    yeah Perry Jones and I thank both KD and Westbrook. People laughed when I drafted Perry Jones with my last pick in our 12 man paid fantasy league

    You guys drafted Perry Jones? The guy is on my watch list in a 12 team league but still... not convinced!

    Any news on how long he'll be out? I read something from 2-4 weeks to possibly a surgery.
