    Alright... Big game tonight v. the Lakers on TNT. Any predictions? IMO, Thunder are way to young, fast, and athletic for the Lakers to keep up. Artest has been a good defender on Durant but the Durantula will get his share. Westbrook will absolutely abuse Derek Fisher and probably go for 35+. Ibaka and Perkins will hold their own against Bynum and Gasol.

    Prediction: Thunder win 108 - 100.

    Bonus Prediction: Knicks with the "upset" over the Heat 106-105.

    Gonna be a good game. Hopefully they let KD guard Kobe, because that just messes Bryant up big time. Sefolosha is still out, and I think Collison is out again. Gonna be tough.

    If our bench is on. They will mutilate the Lakers. If not then its gonna get close in the 4th quarter and turn into a great finish with two of the better closers in the league. Should be fun.

    Excellent prediction. Though I believe Thunder win by double-digits. Pretty much stole the Celtics lunch money last night
    On a side not, you better start calling him Metta World Peace or he's gonna go all 'Ron Artest' on your azz.

    Lakers will get up for this one. Wouldn't be surprised at all if we lose this one with the thin bench.

    Bryant is playing out of his mind right now. Just making stupid shots.

    Harden is really making him work, though. I haven't seen a better defensive performance from James than he's playing tonight.

    Yeah, he's shut Bryant down fairly well for the since that first quarter. One thing I have noticed though, the difference in Bynum when Perk is guarding him verse anyone else on the team. While Bynum has found some success against Ibaka and Nazar, Perk makes life hell for him. I'm loving the Defense all around!

    I was just about to say this.

    OKC is really fun to watch.

    And Pau Gasol can experience a car fire for all I care. God, I hate that dude.

    Kind of funny when your name is "World Peace" and you get a technical for fighting.

    Great win. Thunder are looking scary good right now. Great times for NBA basketball in the heartland.

    Charles Barkley still doesn't like us. Saying we need a big man. Shut up, Barkley.

    Shaq likes us as we are.

    Aside from the main 3 (Zac Randolph, Pau Gasol, & Dwight Howard) Is there any team in the league that has a legit big man?

    What about Duncan? The old man can still play.
