It's like we went from watching a high school team to an NBA team. It's crazy how much the princeton offense hindered the Lakers O.

Yeah, Kobe didn't look too pleased lol.
The verdict is out on the Lakers until Nash and D'Antoni have time to settle. It's probably going to be mid-year before you can get a good read. They are definitely better since dumping Brown though. I only watched the last 8 minutes, but it was pretty good. |

Magic Johnson said James Harden was OKC's best defender. One of the dumbest things I've ever heard an analyst say. His defense is his only weakness. Love Magic, great player, but he's a terrible analyst. Watch the games or turn off your mic.

Good first half for the Griz. They have a lot of pieces with ZBo back healthy and the improved bench. |

Westbrook and Durant still playing out of control this year. Maybe trying to do too much to fill the Hsrden void.
Memphis looks improved and ready to play with anyone. Grizz up by 11 at half. |

Again, he's on the defense. We have been lit up by every 3 point shooter in the the league over the last 3 years. This is nothing new. James Harden is a great player, but he has NEVER been a good defender.
Once Westbrook and Durant start playing better OKC will be fine. I think they are both trying to expand their games now for a later payoff. Kevin Martin is plus 15 without Durant and Westbrook on the floor this year. He's averaging 16 points on 9 shots which hasn't happened since Artis Gilmore in 1981. To say OKC isn't as playing as well yet because of the trade is just lazy journalism. They have played sloppy this year, and part of that is the adjustment I'm sure. It's just irritating that they aren't paying more attention to what they are paid to analyze. Also, Memphis is pretty ****ing good. The sky is falling..... |

OKC probably should have kept Harden and traded Westbrook.

Pretty excited for the Griz. That's as complete a team as there is right now. Ellington, Pondexter and Bayless are providing some perimeter shooting that was sorely missing last season. Pretty good rivalry building between these two teams. Rudy Gay did a fair impression of Durant during the 4th qtr.

Rudy was ice tonight. As far as the Harden/Westbrook debate you could definitely argue that. Westbrook has a lot more talent , but a lower basketball IQ. Harden and Collison were the smartest basketball players on the team by far. The Thunder because of their coaching would benefit from the smarter player on the floor. Getting another scorer and a true PG for Westbrook may have been the better option. However, Russ' jumper just isn't falling right now. He started out the same way last year and turned it around big time. You live and die by the sword with him. He has become a much better passer, and I've been happy with his assist totals, but he's taking too many bad shots. There will have to be some adjustments to the lineup to win a title, and I felt that way with Harden too. You can say you were right there, but they were also fortunate to be there. The West was already tough, and even more so this year. Early on the Clips and the Grizz look like the most solid teams, but you don't win in November. Thunder need to find a way to get K-Mart more shots. He got 4 shots tonight. When he's shooting over 50% from 3 that can't happen. When KD and Riss are driving they don't even look for him out there. Maynor not playing as many minutes tonight hurt in that respect. I do like that Brooks is starting to go with Collison and Ibaka together instead of Perk. It's going to take awhile for them to all adjust and figure it out, but there is too much talent there to not be a factor in the end. I also feel like there could be another move this season if something fits. I do miss Harden. It still feels weird. Bottom line is we won't know the verdict for a few years. Still not missing his D though JFC Magic |

Lakers looked good Kobe had to play point most of the game, different then in past years, was kinda weird. Lakers will be ok, they had no point guard and back up. Darrius Morris is freaking terrible. They will be ok once they get a coach and their PG's back. Anyways, Them clippers looked pretty damned good. They are deep. They are kicking ass. |
