There's a lot of Seattle complaints and shots taken at the team in this, but there is also a lot of good information.

A couple of umm... Highlights?


Biggest Strength: It's hard to point to a single area where the Thunder (thwack) will be better than most of the other teams this season. They're raw and inexperienced at almost every spot, they don't have much in the way of quality size up front, and their guards don't scare anybody.


Biggest Weakness: Oklahoma City has a lot of weaknesses, obviously, but the inability to shoot from outside looms as the most damaging. The 3-point problems from last season likely will worsen in a full season without Szczerbiak and West; the most threatening outside shooter left on the roster might be Smith, and he's a spot-up guy from 17 feet rather than a long-range bomber.
