Billy Donovan had no desire to talk about the playoffs. But you can guarantee he remembers last season's brief five-game first round without a true backup point guard.
With three games remaining in the Thunder's regular season, Donovan has to worry about getting the Thunder to play with any semblance of consistency. But it's a testament to Raymond Felton that the minutes Russell Westbrook hasn't been on the floor have taken a load off Donovan relative to the 2016 Western Conference first round against Houston.
When the postseason kicks off next week, if the Thunder is in, Felton — not Paul George or Carmelo Anthony — will be the biggest difference from last season's ineptitude without Westbrook at the point.
