    I’m so unimpressed with OKC, all they do is ISO ball. It’s like the Durant days but with Melo and George in his place so it’s 3 guys going 1 on 1 separately, not 2. I guess it’s more like the Durant/Harden days except Melo is old and doesn’t come off the bench. They’re stuggling like hell right now to beat a Spurs team without Leonard and Parker after being up 23 early in the game.

    Speaking of Game Time .... wasn't with you all last night against Denver as needed to time shift. But see that I missed this great smack from The Showtime Mamba:

    I hate the manimal, as both a man and an animal.

    Yeah we benefited but man, so does the ref get punished for making a bad/horrible call? They have way too much power to control a game and go unpunished for blatant bias and favoritism.

    It's pretty amusing to watch the Floppers lose again. 9 in a row. Keep it up!

    Yeah, the standings overall are completely a surprise. Clips started off real strong, and now have totally flopped. Other teams near the top in both conferences I didn't see there. Very interesting year.

    Interesting game with GS and OKC right now. OKC is kicking their butts at the half. Why is it that every time I watch a game with an active rooting interest in GS they let me down (see C Bags game)? Frustrating.

    OKC remains up big in the 3rd, 83-64 4 mins to go. I really hope they come back and win, start to really crush PG’s OKC spirit.

    My wish is not coming true. PG for 3, puts the Thunder up 103-80 with 8:09 left in the 4th.

    hmmm, I wonder why? Feel he has maximized whatever he has on the team. This might be good news for lower tiered teams vying for the last play off spot

    Don't forget, they have an always injured Chandler Parsons in year 2 of a 4-yr/$94M deal.

    Two quick thoughts:

    First, Miami wasn’t good from the start. It’s an 82 game season. Let’s see where OKC is by 50 games before judging this season and team.

    Second, Parsons is playing about as well as could be expected given his injuries. His per 36 numbers are on par with his career rates, he’s shooting a career best. And his advanced stats are about as good as they’ve ever been. But only 20 mpg and limited games.
