McGrady highlights

Durant likely to miss two more weeks. Adams is day to day. Almost lost to the Sixers. Morrow is getting the anti Perk treatment in regards to mjnutes, what else am I missing? Oh yeah Davis is back for NO so great, holding on to 8 just got harder.

What are the thoughts on Durant's future with this foot injury? Has it been discussed that much

I've been mostly blowing it off as bad luck this year because I don't really think of Durant as a big man, but he is, and sometimes, once the feet/lower legs start going on big men, they never really come back. I'm not talking about this year, I'm wondering how much this is discussed with his career (like Walton or Yao).

After being a Rockets fan when Yao was there before I moved up to OKC... It scares the **** outta me. He will never be the same if you ask me.

Looks like my days are numbered.

GD it Mavs, you had one job.

Not over yet, but keep in mind the Rockets have been doing it without their 2nd best player.

Pelicans move into the 8th spot.

Serge Ibaka to have knee surgery.

Unknown on time/games missed.

For crying out loud

This could be the season for winning the lottery for OKC.

Ibaka missed the last two Thunder games. According to the ESPN report, he will see a specialist and will have a "clean-out procedure" in expectation he will be ready for the postseason.

Little presumptuous, no?

no kidding right? i'm all for positive thinking but, um, our defense was already crap and now we're without our best defensive player?

Serge to miss up to 4-6 weeks

I think I would rather have OKC in the playoffs and eliminated by Golden St then let the young Pelicans pick up some playoff experience.

I don't think it matters either way the way GSW are playing.

As a basketball fan, I would love even 4 more games of Brow. As a Rockets fan, the thought of Brow getting experience in the playoffs terrifies me.

OKC back in 8th with the Pelicans loss. Crazy battle going on between the two, it probably goes to the last game of the season.

It doesn't bode well for OKC that Pelicans close out against the Spurs, typically a game that Pop throws for rest. And I believe Pelicans hold the tiebreaker currently.

Durant essentially out for the season. They rushed him back to begin with as many of us called in the beginning of this whole thing.

Better luck next year.

Been prepping for this for a while, not really shocked. Worried now about his career, not just this season honestly.

Now Canter is hurt.

Westbrook is going to chuck up 35+ FGA a game now

Better him than Waiters

Seriously, you want him deferring to Kyle Singler or something?

I couldn't care less. I'm just pointing out what to expect for the rest of the season

OKC should pick up Greg Oden for the stretch run so they can have another season-ending injury 2 days later.

I think the timing of the Durant announcement is a little suspicious.
With Ibaka out there's no way they make it being a 8 seed currently??

I'm thinking they tank the rest of the way. Maybe I'm over reacting to this but it seems odd

Does it get more SW than PHX? I know you;re talking about division. NO owes us a draft pick.

May not have to try to tank if players keep going down with injuries. I expect Westbrook to probably hurt himself in the stretch run too, because why not?

He's in a MVP race but I don't put anything past these franchises in pro sports

As the fantasy owner of Russ, this better not happen

No guy from a team that's barely in the playoff race is going to win MVP. Look at the history books, if your team isn't winning 50+, you're not getting the trophy. Even if they tanked the rest of the way, they couldn't do any worse than 38-44. There are already seven teams with 44+ losses. Doesn't seem worth it.

What he said. It's Harden's or Curry's to lose.

I think its Curry's to lose.

Well I guess I have to take back what I said about Waiters for one night, dude was completely different tonight, attacking the basket instead of shooting awful one footed jumpers.

Anthony Morrow's release is quicker than Dan Marino.

Russ...ho hum just another night. Played the entire second half, another triple double, 14 assists (he is selfish though).

Defense for 3.5 quarters was still total crap, but Waiters of all people comes up with a huge block and then a steal to key breaks. Collison was also solid but of course, rolled his ankle.
