Huge game tonight against a Magic team that saw its winning streak of nine stopped last night. The Thunder will be tested to the highest degree for the 2nd half of their back to back games. I would suggest you surf the Internet and eat buffalo wings to get ready, but mostly read the Internet; those wings can cause heartburn.
Odds Are Against Jeff Green Being on the OKC Thunder Next Season | NewsOK
Berry Tramel answered a few questions during an online chat (you can read it all here). He doesn't think he'll be back next year, due to his restricted free agency status, combined with the offers he might get from the rest of the league. I would probably have to agree with that analysis.

Melo's Trade Becomes Agenda Battle | Yahoo! Sports
It is difficult to feel sympathy for a guy who in the middle of a theater in which he is the Knight or Rook being used to win the board stands to gain a $65 million contract.
