Thabo needs to start till the rook turns him into the six man with his play
Got to bust out the congo line for Ibaka.

Thabo is the Man
I don’t really see Harden starting until next season as long as Thabo continues to play like he did tonight, and as long as he stays healthy.
Of course is he just progresses faster than expected that might be another reason, but he’s not exactly setting the world on fire just yet so…

I agree, next year aside from injuries. I should of said first scorer off the bench. Collison will probably be the first off the bench.

Positives step
Glad they didn’t blow this. But, maybe it will be a good lesson for a young team on how to close out an opponent.
Also, Thabo should start, it’s okay to ease a rookie in.
Hope the crowds stay big throughout the season.
I'm sure the crowds...
Will be pushing 19k all season long.

Any bay area Thunder fans out there? We gotta hit a Thunder-Warriors game this year!

I know Zorgon is a Warrior fan, but he lives in OKC :p

Ibaka
If he plays like this all season long, he belongs in the starting five.
I wouldn't go as far as to say
That’s he’s playing to the caliber of being a starter. He’s still very young and developing. He may be worhty of being a starter if he continues to progress as well as he has, but as for now, once the regular season rolls around he will struggle for minutes, especially if Collison is healthy and productive.

Its Good
We did’nt have to put durant back in, to win the game.
If you watched the game though...
It was pretty clear that the Suns coach just wanted to get the hell outta there. I doubt there was much effort on his part trying to motivate his team in OT.

Durant for MVP... (serious)
He is amazing and seems to get better every game. LBJ, D-Wade, and Kobe better watch out!
It is a real treat for the Thunder fans who get to see him play day in and day out!
Ibaka is going to be so great off the bench and if Thomas provides solid defense the Center position looks fixed and the void was filled!
Harden needs to move around more. It seems he doesn’t know what to do when they do not run a play specifically for him. He needs to crash either crash the boards, set a screen, or work to get back on defense.
Westbrook looked great on defense creating many steals and other teams will have to start game planning his in bound steal pressure!
Go Thunder… See you on Opening Night!
OBTW,
You going to the BOK game vs the Heat Mr Pappagiorgio ?
"What a joke." ~ Booby Crosby
Don’t expect Thomas to fill any void we have at Center, once Collison gets back, he probably won’t even get on the floor much. Especially when you consider how well Obama is playing. The first two options off the bench down low may be to bring on Collison at the 5 and Ibaka at the 4.
Also, I was gonna go, but not sure as of yet if I will or not. A little cash strapped at the moment :p

OMG
We signed Obama?!
Doesn’t he have other things he should be doing? Like playing QB for the Redskins?

livingston is still better then watson and white is better then petro so still better off then last year season start
Oh there is no question this is a better team than a year ago, not to mention the coaching situation is settled, the move is done, and players overall should be more settled and relaxed now, which means that 3-29 start from last season should be a distant memory soon. I’m expecting / hoping for a 10-15 game improvement this season. That may be steep, but with all the circumstances last year, and an improved roster this year, I don’t really think it’s out of the question. We should get a good idea by mid-November for sure.

Petro had his moments. He sure looked smooth at times. It was good for the team to break up the French Connection though. I wonder if Gelebale caught on with the Lakers? Anybody follow that?

The best Petro looked was in the preseason. When he was knocking down long range shots on a consistent basis. Now we have Krstic to do that better, but we still need a big body to bang around down there in the post.

What is everyones take on Green shooting all those 3pointers?
I’d am starting to feel Westbrook as the number two scoring option like Monta Ellis is for the Warriors?
"What a joke." ~ Booby Crosby
Honestly it doesn't much matter
So long as he is enough of a threat inside to make the treys less of an obvious go-to move.
I'm happy
Just as long as they keep makeing them consistently. I think we were among the worst
last season, I hope the three point shot is better this year!
Sorry...
Daily reminder about the Yahoo Fantasy B-Ball League. We have 8 teams so far. Would like 10-12.

I'll get signed up when I have a little bit of time.
I’ll also make a fancy front page post to highlight the league as well, perhaps sometime later this week.
Or wait, how does it work? Is it draft style, or is there a draft, if its draft style, forget the front page post since we’ll probably get too many people :p If its done where teams can use the same players and the league can be as big as it wants to be, we’ll do a front page post.
Sorry for being naive here, no idea how it works, and heading out the door to run four miles, but will check back in a bit.

There is a draft
Yeah, no sharing players. Basically, you get 10-12 teams, the draft is on the 20th, I believe at 8pmEST/7pmCST.
Also, it has to be an even number of teams, so if a teams signs up late and makes it an odd number, you’re going to get bumped, unless you can help fill the next spot.

Okay, gotha ;-)
No front page post is needed then since we only need a few more guys.
