Would that really make that big of a difference?

The +,- issue with Len IMO stems from how slow he is in transition. He might have some quickness around the hoop, getting one or two good steps, but from end to end he is really slow. Hurts the spacing and the rhythm with them having to frequently wait for Len to get into position.

Maybe for a guy who's 4 inches shorter. For a guy his size, I've been very impressed with his footspeed - speedwise and quickwise. My principal complaint is his hands - no other worry seems to be a long-term concern - fouls, strength, maybe positioning, but he's so long it should make up for it.

I think the point is that it isnt the first time you (and others) have chalked up a loss in the first quarter, or before the game even started.

You didn't expect us to win this game either mister:

No Bledsoe, Plumlee is hurt, no Barbosa. Wow.

There's a huge difference between expecting and outright declaring.

Prob not but Randolph played well against clips anyway.
We win that game is Barnes doesn't do what he did.

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

Ha ha. Now that's the way to take it. All in good fun. I'm sure you wanted to beat OKC just as bad as the rest of us and no, it was not a good start.

This game is going to stay on my DVR for a long time. I also recorded the OKC broadcast. I finally have time to watch that one today. Looking forward to seeing how they react during the 3rd quarter comeback and then our victory at the end.

This win looks a bit less impressive now that even the Lakers just beat OKC. Like Green, Jordie Meeks dropped over 40 on em.

We damaged their psyche and softened them up for the Lakers.
