I thought Bynum was hungry for more then just food. Bennett and Waiters will both be fine in the league, your wrong about both of them if you think they wont have long, solid, possibly all star careers. Thompson is also rock solid. He averages 12 and 10. The key is, he is 22 years old. He has 5 years to improve then another 5 years to be in his prime.

Nice of the NBA to give 'The Servant' and his team a full week off, while other teams come back from the All Star break with back to backs on Tues and Wed.

Cleveland goes no worst then 20-10 in the second half and makes the playoffs. Nothing special, I know, but they will get there act together. Another strong team effort tonight and another good effort from Bennett.

They have 28 games left.

They play OKC 2 times, Miami, Indiana, Houston, SA, at GS, at Phx, at Clippers, at Memphis. and Toronto 3 times.

Even giving starting them off at 2-0 the odds of them going no worse than 20-10 are pretty remote. 15-15 would be a monumental achievement.

Melo up to old tricks. 8 for 21. Hardaway Jr going to be the Knicks best draft pick in 10 years. He will be an All Star in 2 years.

Being the Knicks best draft pick of the last 10 years is a low bar. David Lee would easily be the best.

This is an odd complaint. Many teams had a full week off, including your Blazers. The Pacers are one of the three teams that opened with back-to-backs and they've had a cozy schedule so far with 5 more home games than road ones.

One of the three teams? There are like 10 that play again tonight.

You're right, there are ten. I looked at the wrong day. But I also don't see any preferential treatment being given to OKC or anyone for that matter.

Best signing they've made in years! He's been a regional tear jerker I guess you could say.

Every team catches breaks and bad stretches over the season. Pretty sure the is OKCs first real break.

Spurs on the rodeo road trip. Haven't played at home since Feb 1. 9 in a row on the road. After game in Phoenix Friday they will have played 12 of last 14 on road.

And by comparison the Thunder have one 4 game road trip the entire season, compare that to other teams and see what you come up with. Most teams have 4, 5 and 6+ game road trips and multiple ones at that.

There is a reason for that though, the arena is basically the Thunder's. They don't get evicted for any long stretches. Even the AHL team plays across the street in the convention center. There are occasional one night events at the Peake, but not much more than that.
