Oklahoma City Thunder @ Charlotte Bobcats 10/6/2010

Preseason is here!

Some interesting stories. Serge Ibaka will be starting with Krstic and Collison out, and this will probably also be our first look at Cole Aldrich as a professional. The Bobcats don't exactly have a dominant front line, but they are a well coached team especially on defense so it'll be a nice measuring stick for the younguns.

The starters probably won't play all that much. We'll probably see a lot of crazy lineups with young guys in there.

This training camp has supposedly been very intense and everyone is ready to go. We'll see if the lack of attention to offense costs the team any tangible improvements. Can't wait!

Looks like Harden got the start over Thabo at SG.

James Harden with another steal and a reach in foul by Diaw. James to the line for two.

62-51.

11/2/3 for James.

63-53 Thunder at the half. Great effort to get the lead back after the Bobcats came back to tie it.

nevermind boxscore up

Harden starting

but no minutes for Thabo which leads me to believe its an experimentation/preseason thing right now

Durant hasn't played a minute in the second half, done for the night.

Joel Embust · Post #18 » by **Joel Embust** » Thu Oct 7, 2010 1:20 am

13/3/4 and 5 steals for Harden, love the backcourt pairing.

Joel Embust · Post #19 » by **Joel Embust** » Thu Oct 7, 2010 1:23 am

7 rebounds for Aldrich in 11 minutes

Threepointer by James Harden. Dude is balling.

Jeff Green taking over in the absence of Durant, 5 treys, 9-14 shooting for 25 points.

85-77 at the end of three.
