    Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

    The thunder have been EXTREMELY healthy over the last 4 years. Unfourantly for them one of their top 3 players has been injured in the playoffs the last two years, but other then their stars getting injured that team has been very fortunate injury wise. They are always talked about as having amazing depth but when one of their stars went down the ones behind that player never really stepped up, last year when westbrook went down it wasn't the bench and role players who stepped up it was KD. I'v never understood why there talked about as having amazing depth when there team never really showed amazing depth. Now that depth is injured as well as the best player on that team, its going to be interesting to see what happens when the thunder let westbrook take 40 shots a game.

    Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

    Should we let Bricky just chuck it up or should keep the ball out of his hands as much as possible and let the other beat?

    Discuss ...

    Just really hope the Blazers starters put this game away in the first half. Never underestimate a team...remember the Suns last season. I don't think it bodes well for Westbrook that he'll carry the load and play most of the minutes. He's had two seasons of injury issues in a row and they're going to have to ride him into the ground to win without Durant. Adams is no slouch on defense. That'll be interesting to see.

    With Adams starting and Perkins coming off the bench I would go so far as to spin it that Kaman could have a good night.

    Exactly. Or maybe let LMA get his to the tune of a 40/15 on national TV to get the season going right and then give him a bit of a breather against SAC.

    Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

    I don't really care about how our starters do.

    To me, the best thing that could happen tonight would be a convincing win where...
    Blake gets 7 assists,
    Kaman gets 15 points,
    CJ gets 15 points.

    I think our bench is for real, I'd like to see it proved (to me and everyone else) many times starting with game 1.
