DM seemed more like a legal analysist then a basketball beat reporter. here's a classic: that guy Says: April 24th, 2008 "i know everyone’s pretty impressed with your endless amounts of time and energy dedicated to the nba in okc web-blogging. i know most of us come on here and have a good laugh at your expense and at the expense of the desperate and delusional okc folk..." ahhh, memories. anyway, now this blog is home to DM's awesome basketball reporting every day. oh, there's still a few haters (what up, Ed Whitson!), but for the most part it's all x's and o's. keep up the good work, because people like me with a life and a job can't devote every waking minute to trying to learn and keep up with our new team. but just from coming to this blog alone, i know more about the team than most of the people i talk to. thanx! philip, remember what this blog used to be like?

KD and others were blessed with athleticism, whereas Nick's had to work hard to get where he's at. That's not a slam on Durant or anyone else, but it says a lot about Nick.

I agree with everything that Kieth said and would add that I liked what I saw of Petro. Nice job, as usual, Darnell.

They both provided good energy and Westbrook's ability to get to the basket will be useful to say the least. I also like the chemistry between Collison and Wilcox. They definitely play well together. Wilcox overall looked solid. Watson was probably the biggest disappointment. I know it's the first preseason game but he looked more like the rookie to me than Westbrook. I'm just happy to be talking about actual games for our new team. Keep up the good work Darnell. I was most pleasantly surprised by Damien Wilkins and Russel Westbrook.
