Thudner vs. Moose tonight. This is the kind of game the Thunder often manage to lose, although I think Philly might throw the towel boy out there if there's a chance of that happening.

Hell, I'm waiting by the phone for call from the Moose. I figure they're in the market for a slow 5 foot 10 inch power forward. I'll even guard Durant.

Yeah, Moose won't let the Thudner ruin their tank.

Westbrook with a triple double against Moose. He's prolly done for the night. KD must surely be exiting shortly as well.
Tank you very much.

In 21 minutes haha.
Man, if that's how Brett Brown is every game, I can't believe he's still alive this far into the season.

Yeah, 2nd-fastest trip-doub in league history and fastest since 1955.

Hes publicly said that he'll be surprised if the Tank wins another game this season. They need two wins to hit the over of 16.5 wins on the season.
Russ comes back and plays average leading to a 4 game losing streak and every pundit asking "Is Russ the problem?"
Russ after the last 3
I swear there is not a player in any sport who is more satisfying to watch play well for me. Mame trogs at people who come into his work, I trog at people who bring that weak shit about Russ at me.

Check out Zach Lowe's Twitter timeline right now. He is destroying people that say the Thudner are better without Russ.

Funny you bring that up, in Simmons' latest mail bag he chops up another Thunder fan for emailing him trying to justify the trade. I don't care how many 15,000 word articles he writes to sound self important, I'll always like him for that.
He messed with a friend of mine, I'll call him Russ.

What really gets me about the Westbrook haters is how many of them aren't even Thudner fans. It's like a trick or something. "C'mon, you guys are better without him."
Fuck off. I don't think I've ever derived more personal pleasure out of a guy's success who I didn't know personally. I love Serge and I love Durant, but Westbrook is a force of nature. He's got militant defiance permanently etched in his face in a smile.
Simmons asked snarkily in his last post what it would take for Thunder fans to turn on their management (because teams in 1st place and having their best season in history should be pissing their fans off), well there it is. If they did Westbrook wrong I'd be pissed.

So i've been thinking about this past years draft class and with the exception of maybe 2 guys, what in the hell is everyone else doing?
I mean at one point, Otto Porter was being considered to be a no. 1 pick. What has he done in Washington? Trey Burke, Shabazz? I see Hardaway Jr. has made a nice role for himself, but other than that.
Im asking b/c i genuinely dont know.

You're seeing why last years class was considered one of the worst draft classes ever.
anything.
I have no clue what most of these guys have done/are doing this season. I guess I'm interested in more of the higher profile names that had the nba blogs blazing going into the draft (see names i mentioned in my previous post) and not the obscure Euro guys that werent going to play this year anyway.

It was in the running for the worst draft ever.
Teams knew this and threw darts at the board never expecting them to pan out.
Players who weren't ready entered this draft for elevated draft status (especially JRs if there were any) due to this year's being so deep
That's basically it. Adams has been okay in OKC, will be a decent back up big.
Saw this about Jeff Whithey
39. Portland Trail Blazers: C Jeff Withey, Kansas
Withey is a shot-blocker but not much else. Still, he has good defensive instincts and could play in the NBA. Grade: C+
I strongly disagree. His motor and basketball IQ are through the roof. He wont fill up the stat sheet, but his hustle is just amazing and actually has decent feet despite his lack of lateral quickness. But has great hands when he receives the dump off penetration passes from guards, and really knows how to defend without fouling which is soemthing the pels need when you still have Steisma on a roster.

Even black people go straight to the rote white athlete stereotypes. Interesting.

I've liked what McCollum has shown off the bench. He's missed time due to his foot injury and has loss some minutes lately with Barton playing solid. He's a good scoring guard off the bench and gives Portland what they need from that spot. Not sure if he'll develop into anything more than a solid bench guy though. Defense leaves a lot to be desired but he's nowhere near as bad as Lillard or Barton.
I looked at the second round and man is it bad. I didnt even wanna post those picks.
One thing Simmons has been pissing me off with lately was calling the Pelicans/Sixers trade dumb for the pelicans while totally disregarding how injuries at key positions have played a large role in their poor record this season. They traded an unproven prospect coming off a bad ACL tear for an "all star" guard who was lightyears better than any other guard on their roster and who was playing at a very good level prior to going down with an injury.
Im not gonna get all technical with stats, but the eyeball test showed that it was a win for both teams. The pels got the guard they wanted and the sixers got a young piece that they knew wasnt probably going to play at all this season. How was this a bad deal? Is it because of the top 5 protected pick? I still think should the pels not have a pick, they stand a better chance of addressing their need at SF via FA vs a draft pick they hope can come in and contribute immediately.

You can still get a solid pick outside of the top 5 in this year's class (you know, the deepest one in the history of the NBA)

So Monty Williams is still dedicated to having at least 4 stiff ogres on the roster at all times. Good to hear.
Guy is the worst. Should have been fired yesterday. I haven't watched a second this year.
yep, but im sorry to hear you arent watching. Dont let your distaste for monty keep you from witnessing Davis' greatness. He was absolutely on fire in the first half last night. Not sure why they went away from him in the second, but watch him and not monty

Anthony Bennett has been not terrible over the better part of a month. Granted, this is like the Bluth Company going from a triple sell to a don't buy rating, but still. It's something. He's nowhere close to good but is at least edging toward being classified as competent, so us Cavs fans have that going for us which is nice.
