[...] seeing Kevin Durant embrace his mother, grandmother, and brother at the end of the game last night. Via Darnell Mayberry, here he is talking about what it was like to score 51 in front of them: “They’ve been there [...]

First, what a game! Second, as one of Westbrook’s biggest critics gotta give credit when credit is due. He played outstanding. Obviously great shooting night, but most importantly IMO, 9 assists and ONLY 2 turnovers.

Hope it is a trend, we shall see, however..

[...] Mayberry on the game: “A lot of people already are using this game as a proof that Durant and Westbrook can co-exist, saying ‘See! I told you so.” Slow down. It’s one game. In the regular season. Against an injury-plagued Nuggets team. I’m not saying they can’t co-exist. Not even close to suggesting that. But you’d be jumping the gun if you used this one instance as the final shred of evidence that there won’t be any issues down the road. Let’s wait and see what happens come playoff time, because there are clearly on-court issues that need to be ironed out.” [...]

Jimmy and Will, those are good examples that slipped my mind late last night. Thanks for reminding me. That makes it even more impressive. He appears to be doing it more these days. -DM-

Lynn, it appears you overlooked my sixth bullet point that started with “Denver is a really good team.” I went on to say, “You can’t take anything away from the Nuggets.” So, no, the Nuggets are not far better than I think. I’ve given them their due. But the point still stands. The game should not have been that close considering the circumstances. -DM-

Durant drove to the rim with the game on the line!! Have we ever seen that before?”

Portland?

Also…Houston?

I don’t hardly know what to think about this game. Russell, Kevin and Serge were playing out of their minds, but everyone else just stunk up the floor. The Thunder is the fourth fastest team in pace, but Denver – who’s first – nearly ran us out of the building. Even when someone was back on defense, most of the time they should have just shouted, “Ole!” And I think Andre Miller might be the guy I hate to love watching.

Hey come on now Darnell, Denver just took the Grizz to the limit Saturday night.

They may have injuries, but they are very deep, they go 10 deep. They got a lot of players for Melo.

Is that not what everyone talked about last year ?

I think Denver far better than you think.

Might be a rumor, but I heard some Thunder players were hurt too. And taking Barkley seriously…?
