  • Oklahoma City Thunder – Complicated Without a Reason

    Oklahoma City Thunder – Complicated Without a Reason

    Facing the Minnesota Timberwolves who were without Kevin Love and Nikola Pekovic should have meant a much easier game for the Oklahoma City Thunder, but Ricky Rubio giving an uncharacteristic offensive performance almost cost Kevin Durant an unexpected home loss.

  • Thunder vs Heat – Reversal of Roles

    Thunder vs Heat – Reversal of Roles

    The script in this rivalry usually says that Kevin Durant outscores LeBron James while the Miami Heat beat the Oklahoma City Thunder. I guess it was something of an opposite Wednesday that opened a lot of eyes for a lot of people.

    10 Oldest NBA Players Heading Into the 2013-2014 Season

    Unlike last year, there isn’t one “dominant” team when it comes to the top 10 oldest NBA players, with no player starting off the season into the fifth decade in his life, and only one, Steve Nash of the Los Angeles Lakers, crossing the 40 years threshold at some point during the season.

    Oklahoma City Thunder – Kevin Martin Was Brought Over For This

    All the comparisons with the star of his former team haven’t really been kind to Kevin Martin, brought over to the Oklahoma City Thunder to fill the role of a spot up shooter from the bench, forced to do something bigger with Russell Westbrook falling down. Kevin Durant led the way to a Game 6 win, but it was Martin who was the difference maker, finally making the most of a terrible Rockets defense.

    Oklahoma City Thunder Show Houston Rockets What a Playoff Juggernaut Is

    It’s nice to fantasize about how James Harden can be incredibly good for 6-7 games in one series and make a fight out of the clash between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Houston Rockets, but in reality, it’s not even close to being a fair fight, with Kevin Durant leading Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka to an explosive and dominant start to yet another chase after the NBA championship, running all over a team that doesn’t seem to belong in the same league.

  • Oklahoma City Thunder – Russell Westbrook is Best When He Operates Solo

    It’s hard to find point guards that have been as selfish on the floor as Russell Westbrook is, but when he doesn’t have to waste precious brain-fuel on defense and chasing other players, he also doesn’t really need any help in getting the ball in the basket, once again out-shooting and force once also out scoring and losing less ball than his co-star, Kevin Durant.

    Oklahoma City Thunder – Kevin Durant So Good It’s Too Easy Sometimes

    Derek Fisher Screws Dallas Mavericks for Oklahoma City Thunder

    Act 1: Derek Fisher signs with the Dallas Mavericks after the 2012-2013 season begins, playing nine games before injuring his right knee.

Act 3: The Oklahoma City Thunder sign Derek Fisher to be their backup point guard for the rest of the season. Mark Cuban is pissed.
