    Watching The Starters, did you guys see that play where Blake Griffin dunked the ball and scored while Kobe, Lin, & Co were still huddling. Fucking hysterical.

    The only reason I'd be worried about the playoffs this early is if I were a Thunder fan.

    Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

    Really? I wouldn't be worried about Thunder provided Durant is back by mid Dec. He's capable of leading them on a 15 game win streak and back into the mix. Remember two seasons ago where the Dwight Howard Lakers played awful for more than half a season? They were way below .500 and Kobe was still able to will them to the playoffs in the last 25 games.

    Yeah... they have no one but Kobe, though. That's it. If Kobe for some reason gets injured, their team is no better than the D-Fenders.

    Every time I hear about the D-Fenders, I think of a beaten-up old car at an auto body shop.

    So that would be the Dented Fenders? I always think of the name as a company with Fender guitar rejects from the factory

    Perspective of the day. I was looking at stats on a Schuman article today and he reminded me that last season 4 games in the 76ers were ranked number 1 in the power rankings. That didn't end well

    Yea there was nothing fishy going on that season. Like the last 20 games the Jazz werent suddenly avging 5 less FTs a game and the Lakers FTs jumped by the same margin.

    Durant in the east would be great for the league!

    Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

    You're misunderstanding me. I was comparing this year's Thunder team to the 2011-12 Lakers. The 2011-12 Lakers had Dwight Howard and Steve Nash and Pau Gasol. They started out HORRIBLE, several games under .500 for most of the season and then Kobe went into Beast Mode and led them to the 7 seed. I brought this up to say that even though the circumstances are different, that Durant could lead an OKC team with a poor record into the playoffs. He will be back in time to do that.

    For fuck's sake, harden already has shot 10 free throws in the first half.

    Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

    Its ridiculous. There should be a big emphasis on not rewarding players like Hardin, they did it to the sweeping of the hand that Durant used to do 4+ times a game when he was shooting so many FT's and he doesn't flail as much as Hardin.

    Durant led the league last year at 9.9/gm. Harden going in game 5 was averaging 13.5/gm and already has 10 at half. It's a little out of control at this point.
