Oklahoma City Thunder @ Boston Celtics 11/20/2010

If Utah loses tonight, we are going to be in fourth place in the west and first in our division. Awesome

Harden admitted he was nervous for his first start. The fact that he tweeted about it makes me think he really wants to start and maybe that's why his confidence isn't great? dunno, but he looked like a lost puppy out there at times. He was so tentative....

You know.. he was tentative and made some bonehead plays. But he still put up a decent line, and considering who he had to guard and who was guarding him, I thought he played alright.

Harden deserves to start on this team. I don't think Thabo's playing as well defensively as he has in the past, and Harden's playing a little bit better (though he is still prone to mistakes).

agreed that he should start, to only raise his confidence and try and see if that gets him going. I don't think Thabo's defense is slipping though. He has shown at times he can play great defense, like 4th quarter vs Chicago, and late vs Philly. Plus he is a fantastic defensive rebounder. Usually when he faces a great perimeter player he raises his level.

I really really really hope Brooks decides to try Green as a bench guy.

Ibaka is playing so well, it might kill his confidence to be put back as a bench player.

Ray Allen disagrees.
