Nuggets @ Thunder - Game 1

[Killakobe81]

Smith needs to get hot or this game is over.

[NewJerSpur]

Felton keeping the offense on time, Nene with the nice finish.

[Zelophehad]

Durant's balls are swelling right now. Might be time to hit him with a hard foul.

[DPG21920]

KD is a talented young man.

[Zelophehad]

He's getting more and more confident with each shot.

[ElNono]

good game...

[baseline bum]

LOl the 5 greatest scorers of the last 30 years: (by points not talent)

1. Kareem
2. Malone
3. MJ
4. Kobe
5. Durant/Lebron


Blazers passes on 2 of the 5 for Oden and Bowie ....so sad. Mainly because they had Drexler (great player but no MJ) and the brittle kneed Roy.

Nice job Rip City!

To be fair Oden was as can't miss a prospect as bigmen come. He was a bigger, more athletic, and more talented Dwight Howard. In retrospect it looks like teams should have paid more attention to that hip surgery he had that effectively made one leg longer than the other. Bowie over Jordan was unforgivable though; Bowie was never Akeem Olajuwon in college.

Puddy from Seinfeld is a great voice actor tbh

way to hang tough Denver but Durant and Russ are both scorching.


I keep mentioning if Lebron take sthat last leap Lakers are in trouble same could be true about durant.

I love Westbrook and seeing him blossom brings me joy as a Bruin alumni, but Durant and Lebron have the chance to be transcendent game changers.
Russ is like Rose athleticism at it's finest. durant and Lebron are athletic but so unique and if they start collecting rings could make a chase at Mj.

Kobe looks like he will far short even if gets 6 rings.

Denver hanging around.

This. plus when the talent is truly special Like durant, lebron Mj and Kobe i choose that talent over size.

LA is a decent bet to win it all this year, but no way the Thunder let them out of the West for a while after this season. Phil Jackson is picking a perfect time to retire.

[Zelophehad]

Collison with the dynamic flopping skills.

[Killakobe81]

Not a great shot choice by Durant, heat -check

I thought Felton moved to the side enough to get that calll but close play.

[ElNono]

zebras taking over from here

[Killakobe81]

Oden was never more athletic than Howard.

I agree as well. I thought Oden was more like a bigger alonzo ...good not great athlete. but footwork would always be mechanical. i love Zo seen hm at Gtown and deserves props for working on his game. But Zo was Oden's ceiling in my book.

[NewJerSpur]

That has to hurt.

[tlongII]

WTF is with these refs wanting to be the star of the show anyway???

[baseline bum]

It's amazing how good this Thunder team is despite having Jeff Green and James Harden being such disappointing picks.

Poor Tlong. the future that was supposed to be yours (future NBA power) resides in OKC.

[Zelophehad]

Harden is leading the league in points off the bench since the Perkins trade. He averaged like 17 ppg post trade.

Except Oden is bigger than Mourning. A LOT bigger!

True Harden is not stellar yet. but has settled in to his 6th man role. They probably should of taken Steph but Harden is a better defender ...

Felton was going to be in the clear but when he turned to cuss he turned to the wrong side....there was a ref waiting on that side that had nothing to do with the charge call.
