Is Durant out again, or is he a game time decision?

He was a game-time decision for last game, and I would expect the same for this one.

I hope Durant does play for an NBA fan perspective. I am interested to see how he has improved.

From a Knick fans perspective, I'd have to say I hope he doesn't play.

So I'm torn but will watch and enjoy.

haha, yeah, i can understand that.

Hopefully it'll be a good game... you guys have looked pretty solid thus far. I've been really impressed with Duhon's leadership and seemingly a lot of the players' willingness to play a team oriented game.

The Knicks are a team that can't be underestimated. Their last game against the Grizzlies, they went 19-34 from beyond the arc to get their 30 point win the other night. The Thunder needs to be on their defensive game to keep the Kincks from bloing this game wide open.

So I'm watching the game on FSOK, Dish channel 447. This looks like some downloaded Kazaa video. Anybody else getting a horrible signal?

The signal on mine wasn't too bad at all... however, the play by the Thunder in the first ~30 minutes was a lot worse than any TV signal I've ever seen.

At least we turned a 30 point game into a 7 point game that seemed slightly winnable for about 30 seconds. Too bad we couldn't bang in a couple more shots, it realistically could've gotten down to 2 points at one point (if Green hadn't missed a 3 and Westbrook hadn't missed a layup). Of course, you can do that with any game, so oh well... Good win by the Knicks.

hehe, seriously... :)

I think for the most part, there just aren't really many people around OKC that have heard of RealGM... it's definitely not a lack of interest or knowledge about the team, because I can't go anywhere without people seeing people talking about the team and wearing their shirts/jerseys (not that I have a problem with that!)
