The postseason starts in less than a week, and Oklahoma City's role players will have to make a big impact for the Thunder to make a deep run.

There isn't enough firepower on this roster to keep pace for Cleveland's explosive offense. Miami's strength, its defense, isn't slowing the Cavs down. To this point, Cleveland is scoring a playoff-best 135.2 points per 100 possessions.

The dawn of what figures to be a long playoff run is as good a time as any to look back. To remind ourselves how the Thunder got here, to the point where Oklahoma City is the favorite to win the NBA title.
