This reminded me just how AMAZING Russell Westbrook is. http://youtu.be/GVDoQXk1y0M This is the Top 10 Westbrook plays as compiled by the NBA channel on youtube.

Looks like Sunday's preseason game vs. the Mavs will be broadcast on NBA TV. Yes!!!

For those brandon roy fans, a cool video on his career:

Aw man, the Blazers signed Craig Smith. I've always liked Craig Smith. Add Smith to Jamal Crawford and once again, a division rival of ours has had a very good day.

You know, I've been thinking about my perception of Russell's strategy of waiting until next year to sign a contract extension. (The clause in the new CBA allows Russ to ask for a max contract next Summer if he makes 1 more All-NBA team). The problem is he might not make an All-NBA team this year.

Kobe, Rose and Wade are locks. With CP3 going to the Clippers, barring injury, I'd say he's a lock. Russ would then be competing with Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo, Steve Nash, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, John Wall and others to make an All-NBA team.

If Russ fails to make an All-NBA team, he can no longer demand a max contract and then who knows what his value will be. Knowing that, I wonder if we see Russ sign an extension sooner rather than later.

what would Ibaka have to average to be a HOF cannidate one day? 12 pts 10 boards and 2.5 blocks over the next ten years while helping the thunder win 3 championships?

Real excited for the season! May have never been this excited before for a preseason game as I am for sundays game.

Just heard that we might be putting in an amnesty bid for Travis Outlaw. We'd have to waive Royal. Thoughts?

I would have liked to see something here on how Russ pushes the ball in transition, he's also got a decent eurostep.

Really surprised James Posey went unclaimed through waivers. i can't really think of a team that COULDN'T use his services for a vet's minimum price tag.

I dunno, I don't really consider these "signature moves". They're more like.. a crossover, a crossover to pull up jumper, and splitting the pick and roll.. with a crossover.

I've been playin with Reggie Jackson on nba2k12 now that the rookies are in he's pretty good in the game they made his 3 pt shooting better than it probably is right now in the game he drains threes and is effective driving to the basket. In the real world I wonder if Jackson is effective could we trade maynor+our first rd. pick to get a mid 1st rounder this draft is grrrrreat

C'mon Man...Westbrook and Signature in the same title. My heart just skipped a beat, until I read it again.

I think I am going to rent a billboard, climb up there... and not come down until RW signs his extension. Better yet, we can nominate someone from this blog to sit up there. Who is in???

I cant wait for the first Westbrook to (new and improved) Perk ally-oop. I may crap my pants....

Check out that mohawk!

ANyone else remember the feeling everyone had in the late 80's when the Bulls were just getting going and they were getting better and better and you kind of had the feeling that the rest of the league was thinking "surely this is as good as they're going to get" when they got beat by the Pistons in I think 89 and 90 getting better each year and finally the got to the point in 91 where they broke through. You had the same feeling with the young and talented Dallas Cowboys in the early 90's and they kept getting better each year before winning 3 of 4 in the mid 90's. I get the feeling the rest of the league is thinking "surely the Thunder has peaked" after improving by a decent amount each of the last two years. It will be interesting to see if the Thunder can continue improving this year. You would think they would continue to improve with the youth on the team and the team spending another year maturing together. SHould be a fun year!

Speaking of Uncle Jeff, I was listening to some old school Boyz II Men last night when I finally realized who Jeff looks like-- the dude with the cane from Boyz II Men. Proof: http://www.oocities.org/hollywood/lot/2302/mikemid...

Is there another one where runs full speed into the pile and then yells at the ref? Just kidding

last year, KD; this year, Westbrook; let's hope Harden works on a couple of signature moves for our entertainment next year
