Don't get to watch the Thunder a ton, but watching them now. OKC has Adams/Kanter in together. The lane is like a freeway to the basket.

Russ seems really gassed too. He usually a plus defender but it looks like having to shoulder the offensive load has started to take a toll.
 
Good grief what is Westbrook doing tonight? Intentionally trying to get kicked out? Trying to get that 16th tech?
 
I like Len a lot. One of my favorites of all the young centers. Im not sure how much of that is everytime I watch him Kanter is "guarding" him.
 
Len is very good. I was very impressed with him when he was at Maryland, and I'm not surprised he's continued to do well.

I'm a big fan of the Kyle Singler acquisition. He's a really solid player.

He finally had a big game for the Thunder. He has been real spotty so far.

Its such a shame that Durant/Ibaka aren't going to play. Team has so much damn potential. Easily the best team OKC has ever had.

Augustine has been as valueable as anyone they got at the deadline.

They have no depth right now.

Not surprising.

Scrubs like Lamb, Singler, Perry, and others have to play.

That was big win for the Thunder. Should knock the Suns out of the running

Yeah, I know losing is hte best thing long term for the franchise but I can't help but root for them to win. Maybe they can sneak into the 7th spot still and get back a healthy Ibaka and scare some teams int he postseason.
 
Lets remember the wiz drafted Clarkson and traded him for cash. Despite the need for a backup PG

One big plus that has seemingly come out of LF is that Noel is a pretty decent passer. After he catches the pass off the roll he is making quick decisions with the ball and hurting rotating defenses. Good sign.

I think he's just a smart player in general. Combine that with his work-ethic and athletic ability and he has a lot of potential. He said Ish Smith is the "first real PG he played with." Slight shot at MCW, but he's right. And his numbers since the trade show it.

I liked Ish Smith a lot. Isn't a good shooter and can't finish around the rim all too well but he is as quick as any guard in the league and is a willing passer. That was a nice pickup for the Sixers. He can be a really good backup PG.
