Maynor, Sefolosha, Harden, and Collison are all out tonight. Combined with Westbrook's injured ankle and the fact that we're drained from playing the best game so far this season last night....

I don't think we have any chance to win tonight. The Hornets aren't that bad where we can win when literally half of our 10 man is injured.

Also, Ibaka will be limited with a sore hamstring. Perkins has a strained knee and is DTD. Lazar Haywood has a broken face.

The only people on the Thunder that aren't injured right now are Durant, Jackson, Nazr, and Cook.

The Thunder have 4, FOUR, players on the team that aren't injured.

What's wrong with Harden?
Edit: turned ankle.

At least Jackson is our 2nd options tonight so maybe he can explore what exactly he can do when he has free range to do it and then translate that to working it into the 2nd unit with Harden more effectively. Cole is gonna get big minutes tonight too!

I really like everything that Aldrich brings except his rebounding. He might be our best offensive center and he's very good on defense, but he just cannot get a rebound. I don't know what the statistics say but he just seems to always get outjumped

This is the same team that beat down the unbeatable NY Lins and won their last three games. What the **** happened to them? Our third stringers aren't better than the Lin's

Durant averaging 8.2 rebounds per game, despite a slow start with 6.5 average his first 10 games, after that he's 8.9 rbp which looks really good.

I guess his rebounding surprised a lot of people here. I guess he would be fine before the season start, well he did a great job against Memphis and Mavs that have good rebounders, but not this great.
