		<description>I understand coach Brooks wants to win first and foremost but, From a fans standpoint, I&#039;d like to see some of the kids get on the court,when the score allows (garbage time). I&#039;m referring to Ibaka and Mullins.

Ibaka earned it in summer/preseason and Mullins could develop into something faster than expected, judging by the progress he made from the start to the finish of his one year of college experience. He went form a confused guy, to go to guy, in the in the Ncaa tournament.</description>

		<description>Is one player playing too many minutes enough to change the number of rotation (from 9 to 10 or more)?  One of the reasons why Kevin Durant said he had a terrible game (vs. the Lakers) is he was too tired at the end.</description>

		<description>I guess you didn&#039;t know what you were saying about the Celtics. Best team in the league hands down. Everyone else is an underdog against them, whether at home or the road.</description>

		<description>Only one problem, MartzMimic. You counting on Clay Bennett firing the current Hornets GM (Jeff Bower) to hire Presti? Bower has a pretty solid reputation.

  Granted, Bennett&#039;s ownership might not have been so anxious to shed payroll but the Hornets are above the luxury cap. In this market, Bennett probably would have wanted to trim some payroll.

   We&#039;ll never know. What we do know is the Thunder has a solid, young nucleus with some cap space to add, not subtract while George Shinn is trying to shed payroll, thus the Thunder has a brighter future.

   P.S. The Hornets lost tonight at Madison Square Garden to fall to 1-3 as the Knicks got their first win at the Hornets expense.</description>

		<description>Good article. I never attended a Hornets game after I moved to Oklahoma City, so count me in the group that would have voted with the Thunder from the beginning. 

That being said, I think that if Bennett had purchased the Hornets, they would be in much better shape today, even with Peja&#039;s contract. Presti has shown the ability to make tough and, mostly, good decisions.  If you look at the Hornet&#039;s drafts, trades and free agent acquisitions since they took Chris Paul with the fourth pick in the 2005 draft, it&#039;s not been very impressive. I have to believe Presti would have done better.</description>
