Oklahoma City Thunder @ New York Knickerbockers 02/20/10

Will KD continue his 25+ point streak?
Will the Thunder get their 8th straight win?
Will T-Mac and Eddie House play their first games as Knickerbockers?

Should be an interesting game tonight. Go Thunder!

I read that Tracy McGrady will be starting in this game but Eddie House and Bill Walker will be unavailable. Mike D'antoni has said that they are going to get back to a high scoring, fast paced, offense since they lost two big men (Hill, Jeffries).

I will be at this game! First Thunder game I'll see since last season in Miami. I'm psyched, and hopefully Kevin Durant can put up 50 against the new look Knicks.

Actually, I have a gut feeling, that the Thunder will lose this one.
However, there is no logical explanation for me saying that, so I hope Im wrong.
Most important thing will be to slow the Knicks team dont and dont let them run and gun.
In an offensive battle they could beat the Thunder at home at the MSG.
So DE-FENCE!!!
:clap: Let's go Thunder!! :clap:

LOL Knicks fan and Tmac.

A little side note I was just thinking about how essentially Landry landed KMart for Houston right.

Guess who drafted Landry? Sam Presti and the Seattle Super Sonics with the 31st pick in the 2007 draft.

Damn that guy can draft prospects.

I can't remember what Houston gave us back in return other than a high five. I think a future second but I'm 100% guessing on that one.

Haha, I love that move by Durant, where he hooks his shot into to "checking hand" of his defender and drawing a shooting foul. He seems to do that almost every game.

Getting into that offensive showdown I was talking about. Not good, really not good. Need some stiffy defense.
Oh, and Eddie House...he scares me, he's my man, Celtics were stupid to trade him.
Hop he wont hurt the Thunder tonight too much.

He calls it the "rip move." Or at least thats what the announcers have dubbed it. I'm really surprised most other players in the NBA don't do it, or maybe I just don't watch enough basketball to notice it.

One thing I don't like about Durant is when his shot isn't falling and he isn't getting involved, he disappears for long stretches.

Yeah, Durant is not shooting the ball well lately. Also his shot selection is not the best.
But hey, its only been a couple of games.
What concerns me more is House. He is killing the Thunder.

Durant is playing really really bad. Not only is he missing shots but he isnt doing anything else to help the team win.
