@novelisticbee0 @SexyWatt it is not the same game the NBA is played ABOVE the rim. it is this high flying dunking blocking crazy athletic feats that leave us in awe when we watch a NBA game. in the WNBA no one is throwing down reverse slams or blocking shots 11ft in the air. IN the WNBA and NBA you get 5 people per side and you still try and but the ball through the hoop but that is where the comparisons end.
read that whole gq article! even though I didn't think it possible i now love Collison even more!
@Gyella I love you homer announcers as much as the next guy but sometimes with our boys it is just too much! While i love the Thunder as much as the next guy it would be nice to get some good honest feedback during a game
@justin_mia @DXL actually that isnt true Martin actually has pretty good number out of the pick and roll... .988 pts/pos last year i believe ranked in the top 20 in PnR and this preseason he has been even better posting something like 1.348 Pts/pos out of PnR
@Tronchaser @courtsense And to me Ibaka has great potential and has the potential to develop into a true star in the NBA but harden already was that
@Tronchaser @courtsense right because people saw this situation coming.... it was probably gonna be harden or ibaka. as it turns out we could have had both if harden wasnt a liar but if we had traded serge then no way we would have just traded harden
wonder if the thunder will amnesty perkins at the seasons end along with not resigning kevin martin the thunder could go after a big man like al jefferson, demarcus cousins, or greg monroe who are all slated to be free agents at that time
Still so pumped about this draft pick... i keep finding myself searching for PJ3 highlights... i cant believe this guy was there at 28 i remember joking with my roommate last year that it would be sweet for the thunder to get a versatile scoring PF and this guys potential is crazy but at the time he was being projected as possibly 1 overall. Awesome for the thunder I think PJ3 will find a spot in the 2nd unit before the season is out.... maybe im getting ahead of myself but i can't wait for orlando
@Lost Ones @ILikePancakes Agreed I think it would be next to impossible for this kid to come and not adopt the work ethic of the thunder. It is pretty hard to slack off when you have KD and Westbrook working their tails off everyday. And as for the knee meniscuses are not that big a deal, scope surgery, 4-6 weeks, and your good to go
@Lost Ones @FF_pickups Well there is also the possibility that reggie jackson will improve now given an off season. He has the length and athleticism to be a great defender
A 2nd unit with Maynor, Harden, Collison, & Jones III is pretty exciting to think about
@FF_pickups @Lost Ones eric maynor = upgrade over fisher/cook
My thoughts on the beal for harden rumors..... I wont not want this deal because I like most others have grown to love harden but if Sam Presti thinks this is whats best for our team then I have to believe in him\... he has earned that
@ThunderStruck2412 @Keith00 @JimboSlice i dont think anyone is saying Ibaka isnt a freak it just that harden is also
@ThunderStruck2412 @JimboSlice but if that time comes ibaka would have plenty of trade value as well
@jk011110 plenty of teams play the pick and roll that way (hedging) the thunder just have to knock down the shots.
@FletchMFletcher HAHA this says alot about LA's mindset..... if they get 70 point from 2 players and our best defender fouls out in the 3rd then LA could win by 5...... good luck with all that...... THUNDER by 10 powered by a much more realistic stat line
@Tronchaser it was on reggie not the beard
what is with the last bolt? the company of cheapeake bought 500 season tickets.... stop the presses. what darren rovell fails to mention is that they have way more employees than that and chesapeake raffles those tickets off and they are filled night in and night out. who cares who buys the tickets the game is still sold out every night.
@Thunderman so true, the worst part is this was written in response to a letter to seattle saying sorry and all mason could do is insult our great city.... screw that guy and screw seattle
