B/c they are killing in the west. Lol, is there still a chance that the suns lose a bunch of games, so we

I think the lack of a consistent third scorer is a major problem for us though, some instant offense off the bench would be good. stackhouse off the bench would be awesome. he's available.

Thabo is not the sniper, but rather a Dementor because he suck the life out of the shooting guard... I like it! I just heard this.

He was making me look bad earlier when I said we need to use him in a trade to upgrade the frontcourt, and I couldn't have been happier. Green needs to be ready to body up his man consistently and really take it to his man with his versatility. He did that in the beginning of the year (ironically while Durant struggled), and I really hope he can do it for the rest of the year when healthy. Honestly the only thing this team needs to work on hard is consistency. We can't follow every big game with a letdown, nor hope every bad loss spurs us on the playing better. Play your best every game, regardless of the opponent or previous game result. @B-RY

I think The Don should be required to write a 500 word essay on the game Westbrook played tonite b4 posting again. Haha </blockquote> Back a while ago I read that it takes, on average, a point guard 4 years to get accustomed to the league. From what I see, Westbrook does more things right than wrong. Sure, some of the things he does wrong are infuriating, but that is just learning. In fact, to me that is this whole team, learning to play together. Think back to August and what you would have thought if I told you that with this wicked early schedule that we would be 6-5 with more road wins than home wins and three wins against playoff teams. How many would have said I was smoking crack? Yes we may need a more dominant big man, but I don't think we sell the farm to try to win a championship this year. After seeing the deals for Sefolosha, the Harden pick, the Westbrook pick, and all of the other things that Presti has done, I am firmly in the camp of "In Presti we trust" I would rather wait till 2011 to get to the playoffs than ruin the dynamics that I saw tonight. For those who say we should have won the Clipper's game and the Sac game. I agree! But I would rather loose those and win the ones against San Antonio, Orlando, HEAT (for you Royce), and taking LAL to overtime, than to just be beating LAC. Just my 2 cents...
