Large percent of losses under 10pts (%50, %60, %70…?).

No large leads lost by the bench.

Frustrate the quality teams even if we don’t win.

T.

KDs FG% went up 4.6%, so for RW to improve 3-4% would be realistic and would put him above 42% especially since he was working on his shot this summer, maybe he can correct his form a bit. I know he didnt shoot much better during the summer league, but there he was the focus of the offense, not like regular season where its durant. His assists should go up just because he will have better shooting teammates in harden and DJ white and any improvement durant shows.

I think in some ways we all forget about the way DJ white played towards the end of last year, he should be even better this year in better shape. I could see him passing collison as the 1st big off the bench, he is a better shooter then collison and is potentially a better rebounder. He is also supposed to have a post game when he was in college.

Livingston also should show a lot of improvement, last year his numbers were better then watson and thats after not playing for so long, he should add a few extra baskets and more consistency at PG.

both our 1st and 2nd teams should be stronger offensively, 1st team is better defensively with thabo but our 2nd team might be better if he played with them and harden started, because then he can help with the defensive liability of livingston.

I think weaver will be forced out of the rotation completely.

with a guard rotation of westbrook, livingston, thabo and harden, all can play 1 or 2 guard.

durant and green at SF with maybe thabo and livingston taking a few mins

PF/C krstic, green, DJ and collison.

Thats a 9 man rotation, which would make sense.

I have one: Be exciting!

Jeff: Develops a back-to-the-basket game, improved defense.

KD: Better defense, more leadership.

Krstic: Return to pre-ACL form.

Thabo: Add 6% to his 3P%, making it 30%. Add 3% to his FG, making it 44%.

Harden: Legitimate 2nd scoring option.

Weaver: improved defense and decision making.

Livingston: Play without injury concerns.

Collison: Play like always. Keep me lol’ing with his tweets.

Everyone else I don’t have expectations for. I don’t see Thomas playing much, and I don’t think Ibaka gets many minutes. DJ White hasn’t played enough for me to build an expectation for him for a full season, and I don’t know how often he’ll play.

If we can get 40+ wins and compete for a #8 all year long, I think this team is poised to do great things a lot sooner than people realize. Outsiders can hate all they want. Three years and we’ll be making deep runs in the playoffs.

Go Thunder!

6.) Oh yeah! Compete for the 8th playoff spot until the end of the season.

7.) Go .500 in the divsion and flirt with 40 wins.(maybe a stretch, but I want to set the bar high.)

8.) Maybe make a move to get a legit starting center.(Krstic is fine, but I don’t see him as a starter on a playoff team.)

9.) The rookies find their roles and accept them and excell in them. (Either as startes, off the bench, or even in Tulsa…just get better and quick!)

10.) KD= All Star, Harden= ROY, Scotty=Coach of the Year, Presti= Ex. of the Year, & Rumble= haircut and a shave!!
