Order is restored. The universe is aligned again. If this does not bode well for the economy - I do not know what is...

Oden: 16 points, 9 rebounds, 5 of 7 shooting in 20 minutes.

Durant: 10 points, 2 rebounds, 5 of 15 shooting in 32 minutes.

Yahtzee! I think it's clear that Oden won this match-up tonight.

Not to take anything away from Durant becasue this was just one game, but this was a perfect example of why GM's sway to the bigs with the top pick. In a half court game Durant was just another jump shooter. A freakishly tall and athletic one, but none the less a jump shooter. There are a lot of them out there. (See JR Smith, Travis Outlaw, Martel Webster, Rashard Lewis etc etc ect.)

Now in the open court he is unstoppable, but according to Charles Barkley, jump shooting teams don't win in the playoffs!
