He definitely still has some work to do, but thats a big reason why we drafted Harden too.

i agree but i think of harden as being able to convert off westbrooks drive…but if RW0 doesnt start hitting his own jumpers they will just shell D against him to prevent the drive.
He is similar to Rondo in more ways than one
If you want to trade our spare parts for Devin Harris, I have three quarters I would like to trade for your dollar
11-19

Impressed with BJ Mullins
Jumpshot thus far. I didn’t know he had that kind of range, much less that kind of range with a turnaround jumpshot. Impressive.

Welcome to Loud City | WTLC on Twitter | Mister P on Twitter | WTLC on Facebook | SBNation
vaden with the 3 and the foul
but he should have given the ball into ibaka for the jam.
all the sudden Mullins loses his stroke.

westbrook good drive 1 nice jumper a couple not so nice.
harden good stroke.
ibaka great quickness
Mullens loves his jumper way too much.
What are the chances
Ibaka bulks up and becomes a defensive post poresence?

Westbrook
was streaky all year as a rookie

Considering his rookie year
RW0 should be dominating these kind of games and at the very least being more consistent then what i saw in this half, but maybe people think he was better yesterday.
I missed a lot of tonight's game
but yesterday, they were hitting him pretty hard. He needs to take better shots though.

Pearl Jam...
is from Seattle. Are they trying to say something?

they were originally called Mookie Blaylock, who played at Oklahoma.

Didn't NO
just get a new deal with the city?
You guys should take the Clips.
by ElectricPencils on Jul 7, 2009 6:54 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah but when it expires matters
They will try to get to Seattle eventually. I wonder how the owners will handle that.

I was a Mavs fan
until the team came to OKC.
It was perfect timing because I was tired of the direction Dallas was taking.
by ElectricPencils on Jul 7, 2009 6:50 PM CDT up reply actions
speaking of that.
didnt cuban say his excuse for not bringing back nash was that in the last couple years of that deal he would lose a step. yet not bringing him back cost him devin harris and now he just gave 3 more years to kidd. got to love that logic.
Don't get me started
on the Harris/Kidd deal.
Just stupid.

From OKC
I consider myself a fan of the Sonics, but I like several teams as well.

If it makes you feel better...
You have to spell Harden and Mullens with an “I” in 2K9 to have the announcer pronounce their names.

Hungry Hungry Hibbert?
Im not quite sure what to say about that..but very nice dunk by Westbrook
I've sent
like 6 total.
They read my shout out to WTLC and 2 joke e-mails.

Hahaha
Very nice Electric Pencils. Though they didnt think it was very funny
So...
Anyone surprised or impressed by the play of anyone, so far?
I like the way Ibaka is looking. Harden is playing like I expected.
Good
Take on the charge there. Keep Hansborough away from the basket.
I like that
he’s in game mode, even though it’s summer league.
by ElectricPencils on Jul 7, 2009 7:34 PM CDT up reply actions
Maybe
but if he’s kissing his hand, that means he’s making shots.
by ElectricPencils on Jul 7, 2009 7:36 PM CDT up reply actions
I think
He is just finding it useless, because they just keep calling fouls everytime he gets near the rim.
excellent rebound
by ibaka kick out to RW0 and great drive and finish by RW0
i know this game doesnt count but it is nice to see someone trying as hard on D as ibaka is right now.
ESPN tweets
# david b. thorpe Hibbert has some nice scoring moves around the rim and off the post.
# david b. thorpe Sean Livingston sat out today. Not sure why yet.
# david b. thorpe Harden is crafty on defense too.
# david b. thorpe Don’t ever think that playing well in summer league does not translate to the NBA. It does, but it still takes more work.
# david b. thorpe And he just made another 3.
# david b. thorpe Hansbrough does a great job of racing the floor.
# david b. thorpe Hibbert staying in the paint more today. That’s a good thing.
# david b. thorpe And he just hit a 3!
# david b. thorpe Hansbrough will always be able to get buckets off garbage inside. That’s a talent.
# david b. thorpe Westbrook is a killer off the dribble.
# david b. thorpe McRoberts looks stronger and is playing very hard.
# david b. thorpe Hansbrough and McRoberts playing together.
# david b. thorpe When I do my first rookie report, James Harden will be in the top 3. Book it.

# david b. thorpe Thunder vs. Pacers.

What does "TM REB" mean?
I know it has something to do with rebounding, but I can’t figure out what these numbers mean.
OKC – TM REB: 7
IND – TM REB: 20
Anyway, OKC shot better, had less turnovers, block more shots, but had more fouls.
Indiana had more points in the paint, rebounds, and assists.
Also Known as "4D" one step beyond 3D
I believe
it’s a Team rebound, which, if I remember from my days as a sports information assistant in college, is when a shot is taken, and the rebound can’t be credited to an individual player, like when a shot goes out of bounds without being touched.
Every shot must have a rebound.
by ElectricPencils on Jul 7, 2009 11:13 PM CDT up reply actions
So every time Weaver banked it off the shot clock the Pacers earned a team rebound. Okay.
Also Known as "4D" one step beyond 3D
haha
Yes. That’s why they had 20 to our 7.
