Comments on: Oklahoma City Thunder: Finishing the Ibaka/Harden debate http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/2012/10/31/oklahoma-city-thunder-finishing-the-ibakaharden-debate/ Thoughts from The Oklahoman Sports Columnist Berry Tramel | NewsOK.com Mon, 22 Apr 2013 20:41:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5 By: Taylor http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/2012/10/31/oklahoma-city-thunder-finishing-the-ibakaharden-debate/comment-page-1/#comment-137436 Taylor Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:11:52 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/?p=11139#comment-137436 Wow. First off mike, Martin will not come in for WB. That will be Maynor’s job. Yes, Martin can and will score in clutch situations as he did last night with a few three balls in the fourth quarter. Also, he has been the leading scorer on all of the teams he has played on, so I would assume he has made a few “clutch” shots in his career. The last time Harden made a clutch shot was against the Spurs in the Conference Finals. Not in the actual Finals where he disappeared for the entire series. I do think that Martin will want to resign with the thunder after this season, because he is now on a team that is headed to greater and bigger things than the regular season that he is accustomed to playing in. Also, the owners that you say are arrogant, spineless, and scumbags are simply not any of those. You must not have any business savvy to understand that the “extra 4mm” is not just an extra 4.5 million. There is this crazy, crazy thing in the NBA called a tax that would make that seemingly small 4.5 grow to an amount that is outrageously large.

It has always dumbfounded me on how many people are so ignorant to how the NBA works. Mike, you are a great example of how many ignorant “fans” there are of the game.

at the end of the day, if I’m asked if I prefer flexibility or championships, I have my answer. how about you?

Harden or Ibaka?
