OKC Afternoon Loud Links: Dirk Down, Next Is His Little Buddy Nash

Apropos of nothing, a one hour crime drama set in the smokey back alleys of Nawlins starring Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash as misdemeanor detectives is something I absolutely would watch. I would also watch the Thunder beating both of their respective teams.

OKC Closes the Door on Dallas | Daily Thunder

Young makes a great point - it was Russell Westbrook who hit the huge 3-pointer in the end to bring the Thunder to within one, and it was Westbrook who hit both of his free throws to ice the game.

In other words, if the Thunder for some odd reason need 10 points out of Nick Collison, can he deliver it?

Obama: Jordan Is the Best | CBS Sports

Our Commander & Chief (and Chicago native) goes out on a limb. I think it would have been much more enjoyable if he made the argument for Popeye Jones, you know, out of auditory solidarity.

Person of Interest: Rasheed Wallace | Grantland

For all of our enjoyment, I would love to see a team that featured both 'Sheed and Metta World Peace. Can you imagine the quality of Christmas videos those two could produce for the Tru Warier record label?
