2009-10 NBA season thread

How about Paxson fulfilling every Bulls fan's fantasy and pushing Del Negro after the Nets fiasco?

Highlight of the Celtics-Bulls game tonight, sort of sums up Boston's year, was Rasheed making a shot in the wrong basket.

 

LeBron sitting the final Cavs regular season game. Doesn't that give Durant the scoring title barring something crazy?

 

Yes. If Durant sat, Lebron would have needed to 63 points to win the title. Durant is the youngest scoring champ in history.

 

I'd say he's thisclose to being a better offensive player than LeBron.

Durant's offensive game is just sick. Can't wait to see how high his ceiling is.

 

I went to an OKC v. Houston game in OKC a few weeks back and Durant's scoring seemed near effortless. He has a great flow on the offensive end of the floor.

A friend of mine, who is a huge Thunder fan, says the biggest weakness in KD's game is his team defense. I don't watch the game as closely as my friend, but I think his criticism is that KD just seems to occasionally lose his focus on the defensive end. His guy did get open in transition for easy baskets a couple of times during the game we attended.

The game experience at Ford Center was one of the best I've seen in the NBA. The game was really damn fun to be at, despite my favorite team getting pounded from the get go. There seemed to be just the right mix of silly little junk during breaks in actions. I've been to NBA games in Memphis, San Antonio, Phoenix, Houston, and Dallas, and I'd say the game experience in OKC beat them all. The pre-game prayer caught me off guard, but it didn't really bother me, and most of the fans seemed to love it.
