Durant A+ I’m ignoring the T/O’s for now. Let’s face it, he’s amazing.
Westbrook A+ I expected improvment, but WOW
Collison A Always solid, now even more solid
Thabo B+ I really hoped for some offensive game
Maynor A+ I don’t know how you ask for more composure from a midseason rookie aquisition. RW now gets the rest he needs, and E-May is strong enough to actually freshen up the offense when it get’s stagnant under RW.
Ibaka B+ Unlike some, I had high hopes for Ibaka. He has barely missed those expectations… but not by much.
Harden B- I was his biggest booster so my hopes were perhaps a bit too high… for a 3rd overall pick he has been underwhelming.
Krstic C I really hoped to see that jumpshot falling more consistently and hoped he could cleanse those butter fingers…. guess not.
Green C- Really disappointed in Green. He has the ability to make big plays but just gets washed out. I wish that 3pt would start falling again. Also, I would like to see him win a tipoff once in a while.

Overall… an A+

KD almost perfect has to cut down the TO’s and play better in crunch time. Russ is taking positive steps with his PG play, but has to show he can shoot better before anyone takes him seriously. Thabo and Collison are playing their roles well, Thabo has to shoot the three a little better or stop shooting it. Collison has to grow a moustache. Harden, Ibaka, and Maynor are all figuring it out. Harden’s shooting better but he’s forgotten how to pass the ball, Ibaka’s a jumping jack but makes too many mistakes and has no offensive game, Maynor seems steady but unspectacular.

Krstic is what he is but I expected a return to his NJ days but that might not ever happen. Green’s been the big disappointment, can’t shoot, can’t defend the bigger PF’s, can’t rebound.. considering the expectations, he’s been the worst player on this team. Could you imagine if Westbrook put up worse #’s than last year? People would be on him pretty harshly. Green seems to get a pass though because he’s a good teammate or something..

GAP :

Chris :@GAPI would have to go with Unforgiven… but Val Kilmer did a pretty great job at Doc Holiday

Can’t go wrong with Unforgiven either, but it’s Val’s acting that just made me wanna be Doc everytime I watched it.

Val Kilmer makes me want to be Jim Morrison. He must be a decent actor.

Overall, I’m glad the Westbrook bashing has died down recently.

I agree with Royce concerning Green. He is doing a pretty nice job on defense. I just rewatched the Atlanta game, and did a great job with a couple of deflections and a nice block (as I’m sure Kev already mentioned).

I don’t “know” how much is…

Of course ultimately Green’s rebound total is not as important as the teams but he might get more when in with Maynor and / or Harden.

Both team rebound %s are worse with Green on the court compared to off, in raw terms. With the biggest difference being offensive rebounding. Despite the help that Westbrook provides.

The previous 2 seasons team rebounding %s weren’t much different with or without Green, the modest difference on one side being offset by a positive edge on the other.

I don’t how much is change in effort or just change in luck. Could be some of both. More time will tell better.
