Westbrook has looked absolutely fantastic. I can't believe this is the same player.

Westbrook and Green both look great. Durant not so bad either, and his shot isn't even falling.

Westbrook looks surprisingly good! :o

Has he been like this last year? He seems to be more controlled and making his mid range shots back and forth! If he keeps this up, he will be a star soon!

last year he showed flashes but way to inconsistent, but looks great so far under control.

No, he definitely didn't even look like this in Summer League. He supposedly put in a ton of work in the offseason with his own trainer and Derrick Rose in LA, looks like it paid off.

Thabo hits the corner three again. He'll keep Harden on the bench for awhile if he continues to do that.

And yeah wiff Nenad's been good too.

Good to see the T-heads on top of Sactown. Only K-Mart Jr. is doin something for them. Whereas the T-heads are really playing like a team. Four guys in double figures. Westbrook with a double-double. This team is looking good 2nite.

This bench is going to be a problem in the future.

Id giddy with how good Green is playing. He is doing everything right out there.

I'm a huge fan, but I've got to be honest, and admit I'm pretty surprised about tonight's performance (even if it is against a not-so-great team).

Green - dominant
Westbrook - more of a PG than I thought possible
Krstic - reminded me of pre-injury Nenad
Thabo - knocked down enough fairly deep shots to make me think he could hold the starting job all year
Durant - well, he's Durant, but he didn't make anything that made my eyes pop
