"They can invite pressure like that," Barnett told WFAN's Mike Francesa on Wednesday. "They've done that all season long. And if you look at the track record, they've responded extremely well after a loss."

Barnett noted that the defending champs have not lost two in a row all season.

But "I tend to worry a little bit more because Oklahoma City is a team to be reckoned with," Barnett said. "They've got two great scorers."
