I always enjoy your coverage of the team. Tough, but fair. So who at this juncture would be the top three canidates for NBA Coach of the Year from your perspective? How much fun is this?

[...] Darnell Mayberry: ”The moment came Tuesday night like it always does in close games. But this time Kevin Durant was ready for it. When the referees swallowed their whistles and Joe Johnson tightened up his defense, Durant did something he hasn’t done much this season. He pushed back. The Thunder’s frail forward didn’t get frustrated. He got even. And with 2:48 remaining, after Durant and Johnson spent too many seconds bumping and battling for position, the refs finally rewarded Durant with a personal foul call on Johnson. The sequence summed up what Durant seemingly must do from here out to not get knocked off his spot.” [...]

Nice coverage. Good win against a physical team. If the refs were calling the game fairly, KD would have had 20 FTs. A lot of holding and pushing like in a playoff game. Two things about his game. Right now they can push him. But with 10 or 15 more pounds (remember what Pippen looked like at first) his game will be entirely different. Second, they need to come up with plays where he heads to the basket for lobs. That will make his man pull off him with feints.

Second, can’t you see Ibaka becoming a Rodman type of player but with a touch? Another excellent game by Westbrook who has stopped trying to drive every moment. And Sefalosha is a fabulous defender and can pass.

We’re getting there.

love the insider stuff as usual, Darnell.. our core was awesome tonight.. KD has been playing out of his mind, Westbrook nearly had a triple double, and Green was clutch as usual.. great win..
