2013 Oklahoma City Thunder Season Preview

The Oklahoma City Thunder were only four games from winning the title last year with still a every inexperience basketball team.  This year however could be entirely different since they have the talent to possibly win it all this year.  Here is a look at the way they will take the court for opening night:

  PG. Russell Westbrook

  SG. Thabo Sefolosha

  SF. Kevin Durant

  PF. Serge Ibaka

   C. Kendrick Perkins

  Sports Illustrated has the Thunder projected to finish 1st in the Western Conference.  When you have one of the most prolific scorers in all the NBA, you are going to have a great shot in the playoffs every year.  The fact that the Thunder also have great young pieces around Kevin Durant (Serge Ibaka, Russell Westbrook, and Eric Maynor) it make the future look even more bright.  The key for the Thunder this year if they want to win it all is he continue to get looks of contributions from the bench.  This was one of the reasons why they were not able to beat the Heat in the finals.  Overall, the Thunder look like the team to beat in the Western Conference.
