Considering Durant didnt deliver it was a pretty good game, promising signs from Westbrook (13pts 5-9FG, 3 assists) and as mentioned Wilkins did a good job, Wilcox needs to have a big year for you guys too.

Minnesota are probably better than people are giving them credit for, Al Jefferson is an absolute beast, and Kevin Love might actually be a player (I'm thinking a bulky Dirk Nowitzki)

Good luck for the season, i'll be following you guys this year, and hope you pick up a nice SG or big in next years draft.

Love could be a good player... but comparisons to Nowitzki? I guess I just don't really see many similarities outside of skin color, height, and being good at bball...

I think Weaver had an injury so they didn't play him, and there were a couple of player that just didn't play in this game. They play 5 games in 7 days, so they may hold out some players to play latter in the week.

It's pre-season so they could just be taking it easy
