Digest more
The Oklahoma City Thunder are fresh off a Game 2 win at home to put themselves in the driver's seat of the Western Conference Finals.
There is someone who the Oklahoma City Thunder simply cannot stop. They simultaneously send multiple players — sometimes about half the roster, it seems — to try to derail him. They surround him.
If you're not lucky enough to be headed inside Paycom Center to cheer on the Thunder live or are planning ahead for games 3 and 4, you have options.
Conventional wisdom in the NBA is veteran-laden teams typically do best come playoff time. The Timberwolves and the New York Knicks, two of the other conference finalists, have rosters with average experience in the top half of the NBA. Oklahoma City, meanwhile, entered the season with the lowest average age and least experience of any roster.
