Maybe Westbrook gets discussed as someone in the top category of second rank players or something. Anyway, I think that team and the players on it get rated pretty accurately.

Yes, I would expect it to be close (4-5 matchup)....if the Thugs were a legit playoff team. Any of the other 7 in the West would've beaten the Thugs....just not sure they'd have been such close games. The Thugs are the Mavs....without Dirk and Caron.
And if Westbrook and Durant are such superstars, as they are portrayed....they should've dismissed of them in much easier fashion.
