    OKC beats the Spurs

    And either the Hornets or Rockets are going to lose, so we're sitting pretty tonight.

    I bet on the Spurs too. Nice win though.

    Am I seeing this right, Houston goes into NO without Yao and beats the Hornets handily?

    Wow... break out OKC. I can see them challenging for 35-40 wins next year and being respectable. No playoffs yet for them but they're on a somewhat same path as us.

    With Tyson chandler, Hell Yes. Without him, I see them getting to 31 wins next year (with there added rookie, they need a big in the worst way)

    With Chandler, I'd have put OKC as a playoff contender.

    Without him, I think they'll approach 40 wins, somewhere between 35-40 wins.

    Harden would be great for OKC...

    Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Green, whoever.

    Re: Merged: Who do we root for?

    You got your wish. Tonight I am rooting for Detroit to beat Dallas. That seems to be the only game where there is a chance for an upset.

    Yeah, I think Harden could be a very nice player in the NBA.

    That's a lot of FGA's demanded. OKC only gets to play with one ball.

    It truly is the Blake Griffen lottery... There are a few other very very good prospects (and Harden is one of them, no doubt), but for a team like OKC that already has the scoring threats (Durant, Westbrook) at the guard spots needs a big guy.

    Bad Night So Far

    Dallas wins.
    San Antonio wins.
    Utah wins.

    Philly is playing the Lakers even near half-time. Should they win, it will provide some salve to the night. It's nearly always a good thing when the Lakers lose.

    Gramps...

    They were all playing at home so it's pretty much expected.

    We are in control of our own destiny. If we win around 6 to 8 more games this season we are in the playoffs.

    OKC needs defense, not more offense. Thabeet would make sense.
