    They're going to have to make a move though. Milsap, Kanter, Favors, and Jefferson is too many talented bigs. All four of them should be starting. I would think they will probably try to move Jefferson and Milsap. Of course, Milsap might be willing to come off the bench, but that would be a shame. The guy is a damn good power forward.

    I would love Al Jefferson as our starting center. His low post game would work perfectly with LA.

    Unfortunately we don't really have any assets to trade, unless they want Babbitt, Smith, and Williams.

    Both Al Jeff and Milsap are UFA's next summer and the "asset" we will have is the 11-13 mil in capspace just made by not doing the options on Ewill-Nolan-Babbitt

    I'd rather go after Milsap if I had a choice. The guy is just tough. He's a Buck Williams kind of guy.

    It seems like if I was coaching against Houston I would make anyone else other than Harden beat me.

    I don't know if I would go after either being that we have LMA and they would likely cost a good bit, a lot depends on how this years goes and if we could possibly use that capspace to trade for a real "difference maker"

    Watching this OKC vs Spurs game....... Westbrook is 6'3"/187lbs. Lillard is 6'3"/195lbs.

    Why does Russell seem so much taller then that? Just the 8 lbs skinnier?

    Because Westbrook can jump out of the gym.

    Westbrook's shot selection is amazingly horrible! I like watching him play, but man he is a gunner!

    I actually came over the computer to say the same thing.

    Westbrook really cost them the game with his poor shot selection, poor ball handling, and that huge defensive lapse on the final play of the game.

    I thought Kevin Martin looked great in that 6th man role though. I can't wait to see how good he can be when he's actually had some time to gel with the rest of the team. Yeah, he's the third option now, but that could be a good thing for a guy who's had to be the one carrying the team offensively for pretty much his entire career.

    One thing that I noticed though was how Russell Westbrook felt uncomfortable passing to him. There were several plays where Martin had created some space for himself, asked for the ball, and Westbrook would look right at him and take it to the goal himself or pass it elsewhere. I'm not sure what to make of that: Shitty decision making by Westbrook because he's just a shitty decision maker,... or shitty decision making by Westbrook because he doesn't trust Martin yet.

    Just first game of the season, but finding humor in the fact OKC trades Harden who scores 30+ points and leads the Rockets to a victory while OKC has trouble scoring and lose to the Spurs.

    Shitty decision making is shitty decision making. They traded the wrong guy.

    Hey Westbrook is a beast, but he has no conscience when it comes to a good or bad shot. When he's on he's unstoppable, but when he's not, he doesn't have the brains to give up the rock.
