A great remix for thunderstruck ac/dc. I asked my friend if he thought it was better, and he said yah, if they passed out glowsticks and 3-d glasses instead of programs.

worth a listen.

@Danny Nice point about the comraderie on this team. I think the parting comments from veteran guys like Smith and Rose about how much they enjoyed playing with our young-uns further confirms your impression. No reason for those guys to say fuzzy PR stuff about their ex-teammates unless its true.

I just cannot see a level-headed guy like Durant being happy on a team like the Lakers. I grant that they’re the tops of the league–the NY Yankees of basketball. But they don’t have soul! This past year, the media seemed to portray a sort of comradeship among the Lakers squad which I think was heavily imagined. IMO, the Lakers were (are) a collection of talented vets who tolerate one another because they realize they are great enough to win championships. And I just don’t see a guy like KD being happy in that model.

Of course, I don’t know KD. And I don’t know the Lakers players. And this is all based upon speculation. But it is what I think nonetheless.

Also, this is what I nearly like most about the Thunder: their comradeship seems genuine, and the young guys seem genuinely thankful for their place in the league. Even during last year’s long and rough season, it still seemed like the Thunder players were having more fun than anybody they played.

And then give up 20 more points than they score while slowly but INEVITABLY building to a full-scale implosion as a team since there are not enough shots on that team for two of the four, let alone the whole group.

I mean, seriously, after they signed Zach Randolph, if I asked you who was the only guard who the Grizzlies could sign that would A) Take more shots away from OJ Mayo, Rudy Gay and Zach Randolph, B) Hinder the development in the youthful team chemistry because he will make sure he gets his shots to try and prove that he’s still got it and thus will force Mike Conley to delay his progress yet another year and C) Entice the fan base just enough to attend two or three games more than they would but not enough to actually change the attendance figures at all even though that would be his ONLY real reason for being signed…wouldn’t there be only one Answer?

And honestly, I do want to watch the Grizzlies for all of those reasons next year. The NBA: Where Impending Trainwrecks Happen.

Man I miss basketball!

I could see KD bolting for the Lakers if they cleared a spot for him…and they could do that if they wanted to.

Honestly, the only thing I can think of that would make KD want to bolt is if the Thunder are massively underperforming when his contract runs out. If we’re a consistent playoff team and start contending, he’s as good as ours. Big-time money spends the same in OKC as it does in DC (in fact, it goes further).

Amazing how national media types seem intent on perpetuating the “Kevin Durant’s Future Former Team” theory, in spite of numerous quotes by KD himself to the contrary.

If you were a Griz fan, you would have to be pretty excited by the prospect of watching that foursome score points 84 nights a year. I know that Iverson may not be the best guy to help you win games, but he has always been one of my favorite players to watch.

Should be really fun if he happens to get on
