Nice Thread.

This should be a win.

Unless........

We need to take this one.Hopefully we play hard and get this win so we can come home with a winning mentality and beat the crap out of the Rapters.

Happy 32nd birthday Vince! Dropping 40 (it's been a while since he scored this much) or even 50 in this game would be a nice way to celebrate. I just hope the Thunder won't spoil the party literally and figuratively. :lol:

This is gonna be a MUCH harder win then it seems on paper. OKC is playing solid ball since the New Year, as hard as that is to believe.

As usual, I am not making a prediction and mushing it up.

Nobody on the Thunder can guard Vince or Devin they should both have big games.

What's Yi's progress? Yes, for my fantasy team.

From Rotoworld:

Yi Jianlian is still about a month away from returning to action due to his broken right pinkie finger.
There should be more news on Yi's status in the next few days, but for now he belongs on waivers unless you're playing in a very deep league.

We all know why you're really asking about Yi, Kosta =D!

Damn, still one more month? I was thinking a couple more weeks max. I'm in a 20 teamer so I guess I can wait on him, there's nothing special on the wire, I did drop Jarvis Hayes for him though. NetsForce, you think your boy is worth holding on to? Luv 4 da game, I see I'm up against you this week ah. 8-)

Not only is it VC's birthday today, but it is also the 5th anniversary of Opie getting handed the reigns.

Scary stuff indeed.

Since you're in a 20 team league I'd definitely hold onto him. He was putting together a nice mini-stretch before the injury =[...

Because of the offense the Nets run I'm also confident that once he's ready to play he's going to go right back into the starting lineup.

That's why I picked him up, I saw he racked up some nice stats just before he went down which leads me to believe he was starting to turn it on ala how Bargnani has of late. Though I probably don't take this shot if I'm not 1st place and 11 games from being out of the playoffs. This could pay off big come playoff time, I just gotta hope he recovers quick and finishes the season off strong.
