There will a whole lot more teams who'll be closely watching Game 7 tomorrow ...... teams like BOSTON, MIAMI, WASHINGTON, etc.
A bad loss by OKC might (just might) be the reason for Durant to look for another team in the offseason.
Look at Lebron, practically the closest competition he had in the EAST for the past 6 years was CHICAGO, INDIANA, BOSTON, etc ....... far inferior to the royal rumble that the WEST elite teams go through each year.
