Durant is a freak. It's only a matter of time before he hoists the trophy.
5-0 bump
I was there last night and we demolished the Suns! The Suns should probably take this year off and rest Nash and Grant Hill..
This is exactly the start we needed. Since there wasn't much roster turnover for okc, they were primed to jump out and get a big lead
Yikes. Maynor out for season.

Damn. That sucks.
Time for reggie to step up.
Something like that was bound to come along. Okc has been very fortunate with the injury bug.
Their team is built for this type of season. I don't think they'll miss Maynor too much.

time for Reggie Jackson to grow up. May also see Harden run the point more, but that's not his best position, he's better on the wing.
Harden is a stud. OKC's Ginobili.

I disagree. I actually think Harden is the best ball handler on this team. I don't think anyone comes close to being as good in the P-n-R as Harden.
Another W
And as far as Harden goes, I didn't mean he wasn't good with the ball, but if you saw tonight, I just think he's even better moving without the ball, always makes the right cuts.

ridiculous finish last night, 4 treys in a row from Russ and Thabo...the latter now having the highest 3PT% in the league!
that was completely out of character for this team, but a great finish anyways. If thabo can be a consistent threat from the 3, that will really help come playoff time. a great road win.
Is the score correct on ESPN?
Wizards 105
Thunder 102
If so, WTF?

terrible loss last night.
but at least Russ got his extension. 5 years, $80MM.

The Padz has gone deathly silent.
Step 1: give Russ a huge contract
Step 2: shoot 30 shots to durants 15
Step 3: average more SPG than durant
Step 4: ??????
Step 5: don't make it to the finals.
Step 6: trade westbrook

I'm sorry, was a post 2 days ago not good enough for you?
I figured that a bad loss would happen sometime soon.
Good for Russell, team is playing well sans last night.

Simplebay, you should probably worry about Kobe's knees falling apart playing 40 min/game instead of the West's best team dropping one dumb game in Washington. KD and Westbrook will be haunting your dreams for many years to come.
I'll just leave this here for now...from a nationally respected NBA writer.

simplebay is just mad Russ won't be wearing purple and gold anytime soon.
nother W
now that we're past the JV portion of the schedule, time to put the big boy pants on and go beat some solid West teams
In all honesty.... could that beatdown the Clippers laid on the thunder cause them to go into a slide and fall in the rankings?
Griffins dunk on Perkins might have taken any fire Perkins had left from Boston days. That kind of dunk can mess with your head for the rest of the shortened season.
Clippers sent a message last night. And looked way better than the thunder. Every which way

dammit 
oh hi, not surprising you run to this thread after a loss. pathetic.
this trip was gonna be tough, I had acknowledged that. No Thabo last night forced a lineup change, and Harden is clearly better off the bench. Totally outplayed, but they weren't going 63-3 anyway.

since when am i the thunder fan on this board that runs his mouth like we're winning it all? you can rest on "keeping me in check." this team still has a ton to prove, I don't care what they "almost" accomplished last year. we've coasted through a pretty cake schedule so far.
ill just leave these right here
now in addition to your trolling about the Lakers, we're going to have to put up with you after every Thunder loss. i hated you less when you gayed up Mavs and Spurs threads.
someone really does need to get Durant a binky.
then backpedals

quote:
"I have no appreciation for it at all," said Perkins' Thunder teammate, Kevin Durant. "It was a layup, I think. He threw the ball in and got fouled and made his free throw, so it was three points at the end of the day, no matter how it happened, how it went in the basket. I really wasn't impressed. He finished it. So what? We've moved on."
then backpedals
quote:
"I wasn't surprised because Blake is a poster child," Durant said. "He dunks the ball a lot and makes spectacular plays. If it wasn't against us, maybe I'd say it was a good play, but it was against us, so it was a bad play. I have nothing against Blake, don't get me wrong. But it was against us, so I've got to stick up for my teammate."
then whines
quote:
Carter put Durant on the short list of guys in the league right now with that type of body control. Mavs big man Brendan Haywood, the victim of a vicious Durant and-1 dunk during the West finals last season, can testify to that.
But Durant seems to think that dunk doesn't get its due.
"I knew that wasn't going to get attention because we never get attention like that," Durant said. "We're not an L.A. team or a Chicago team or a Miami team. All our plays get thrown under the radar."

ugly game, not really pleased considering Dallas was without 2 starters, but we were without Thabo again. Westbrook definitely had the hotter hand tonight, no real problems with him taking that shot.

Win over Portland last night puts us at 9-4 vs. teams .500 or better.
2nd best mark in league, behind only Miami at 10-3, and well ahead of Chicago at 6-4.
Sick game tonight. Just an amazing back-to-back, beating Portland on the road in OT, followed up by scoring 119 in regulation on the road at GS.
