    A lot of sick talent on the team and a lot of young ones, which I think will hurt them this year in late game situations. I expect Kevin Durant to blow up this year and I'm a big fan of Russell Westbrook. I still think it's absolute crap they moved them out of Seattle but what can you do?

    Nice, congrats! The month of November should be telling as to where they are in their development as a team. They've got the Lakers twice, Portland once, Orlando twice, San Antonio once, Miami once and Utah once.

    thanks.
    yeah i would hope we'd be a mid tier team after this year. good thing is we are young as ****. hardens coming off the bench. had like 5 points not bad. durant something like 20 points 10 rebounds. :up:

    Westbrook is an animal, that round 11 pick in my keeper league will be paying off for years. Nothing needs to be said about Durant and Jeff Green...solid core to build around. Sefolosha is a very solid defensive stopper type. They have a lot of key pieces.

    That said, wtf was that crap tonight vs Portland. Man did they poop the bed. No one showed up besides Westbrook.

    I don't know what happened tonight with OKC but I've gotta say, your boy Gallinari is lights out shooting. What a beautiful stroke.

    Of course when you say that he goes out and bricks a 2-9 outing :no:
    Hes going to be a tremendous player. I wouldnt be the least bit surprised if he goes out and averages 20PPG-7Rebs-5Ast this year. Part of it is D'Antoni's offense is such a stat friendly system but the other part of it is he is tailor made for such a system. D'Antoni played with Gallinari's dad at one point in their careers and I think knew this. There's only three deficiencies I see with him. one is he has to get better on defense. Two is he cannot be gun-shy. He is an offensive player, he has to have that mindset. Both of those things will come with age. The third is he generally drives left because he cant get the first step to the baseline which I dont know if that is as correctable as the first two since its more to do with general footspeed and that will never be a strength for him. But he plays a very unselfish game and man, he can really drain the jumper.
    Blah blah blah would you like some whine with that cheese? :tongue2:
