Just saw the video clips on the nba and looks like Thabeet is getting settled with his job as Thunder’s center with dunks, follow-ups and shots around the rim. Maybe he can now have a legitimate scoring center that can be a threat for opposing teams center!

Chuck, that’s what I being saying that presti, as general manager needs for his team to give it a professional ex-NBA star to develop the tall players what to do in defense and offense. I know what you are saying, maybe Mark Bryant has exhausted his experience, but there is no way the big’s will play any better than what we see from them now.
Most tall players have sought Olajuwon’s expertise and knowhow. I believe it will tremendously help the Thunder’s game inside game for the playoffs.

Howard, to the best of my knowledge, Mark Bryant is the Thunder’s big man coach. I wish Thunder would bring in Olajuan in for a week or two, and teach our bigs what he has taught others.

[...] Darnell Mayberry: “Here’s something else I noticed tonight. You know who is starting to benefit from moving the ball more? The Thunder’s second unit. The B Team came in and shared the rock and got one high-percentage shot after another as a result. Not just in garbage time, either. In the second quarter, even when KD started the period with them, they moved it so well you barely even knew Durant was out there.” [...]

Charlotte was 7-5 coming in, how did that happen ????

KD & Russ have a definite imposing presence about them now, it’s visible, the maturity, the professionalism, confidence that radiates out & over their teammates & opposition…. It’s pretty cool to see these two reach the heights that they have & know that they still haven’t peaked yet….

PERK, Perk, perk…. Hasheem Thabeet “goes on” is on his way up & the perkulator is on his way down, how long before Perkins takes Hasheem’s spot on the bench ???? I say it should happen after the All-star break…. I mean, if this trend continues…. Perk won’t reverse his downhill slide & can/will Hasheem contine his upward spiral ????

PJ3 was ABSOLUTELY horrific last night, no effort on defense, half the Charlotte points came from the man he was guarding…. PJ3 NEEDS to go to Tulsa, he’ll enjoy the downtown Coney Island….

The bench came on in the 3rd qtr & played like it wasn’t no big deal & then after a Thunder timeout, they played with more fire & enthusiasm, except for PJ3…. I wonder what was said during that timeout, hopefully it was close to what I was shouting in my living room….

Now it’s time to shave the beard on Wednesday night, too bad K-Mart didn’t have a Black Friday blue light special on electric razors in OKC this past week….

On Westbrook’s funky layup, I saw it as a maturity moment. If you recall, Jeff Taylor mugged Ibaka for a steal and breakaway slam at the 4:22 mark of the second to make it 22-45 Thunder. Russell’s face was like, “Really?” So when Russ picked Gordon’s pocket, I think at the last second he decided going all Wolverine wasn’t the right thing to do when you’re up by 32 at that point.

Presti should get a big man’s coach for their tall players to develop their around game!
I believe that the break down in defense and offense is the problem of Brooks. He only knows how to play a small man’s game, probably because he is a small man who played guard.
Presti should get a big man’s coach to develop, even Perkins, Ibaka, Thabeet, Durant, Collison and Perry Jones. The Thunder have so many tall players that a special coach is needed by this team.
Brooks can only go as far as he has that experience and to get more out of this team, a Olajuwon or a Kareem could get them better, specially with big players from the Lakers and Memphis!

The reason the Thunder held The Bobcats to so few points in the first half is that they played a ton of zone. You don’t think that’s worth mentioning?
