    We are witnessing the rise of a legend. He's made for kung fu movies because he moves in slow motion.

    I'm betting it's because the Thunder are winning. There are some people who get it together when they're on the winning team.

    Averaging an impressive 10 personal fouls per 36 minutes.

    Watching this OKC game on NBA TV.

    'Beet is:

    - A LOT bigger, man is strunk and strong now. I feel like he just spent two solid years lifting. He was a stickman as a Rocket. He is no stickman now.

    - A LOT more mobile. He just shot the gap against Ed Davis for a near breakaway dunk, until Davis (inadvertently?) tripped him. What? How you going to be that tall AND that fast?

    - He's still blocking shots, but we always knew a man of his length could do this. Nothing new there.

    - And as god is my witness he is playing within OKC's offensive schemes and is cutting to the hoop on screen and rolls and weakside action


    This dude is good now. He is looking like their Center of the Future.

    Thabeet looks great tonight. I wish he would've been this excited about being paid to play basketball last year. Anyone seen Greg Oden lately? LoL

    Oden sitting out for the year to rehab his knee.

    Will be interesting to see...he's only 24 I hope that guy comes back strong.

    But yeah Thabeet looks decent and useful tonight.

    Me too I remember how solid he was against Yao in the playoffs. I'd love to have that version of Oden on this team

    They prob took away his paint brush and he has little sight seeing to do in OKC. Plus having a golden patch in your hair automatically makes you a better athlete.

    LOL good post. What a waste of talent that guy is. Hopefully he'll pull it together, OKC needs a better center than Perkins.

    I forgot he was playing for a contract. Maybe the way to keep him motivated is to keep him on one and two year deals for the rest of his career LoL

    LOL....and Carl Landry is BALLING like he did with us with his 22 pt PER....W-for WHATEVA
    KMART-Kevin Martin...Be glad you are finally on a team that you can shoot spot up shots,
    and not have to run around as much as you did, oh wait you'll still have to do that, IF...
    YOU think you're replacing Harden's shoes.....
    But I think Kmart is saying all the right things (After he was bashed in Hou. before he left on work ethic, and coach hating after losing Adelman, oh and that sounds familiar when he came here saying the same THING, after being a thorn in SAC.'s Side and their new coaching regime after Adelman was forced out of SAC.)-He is in a contract year.....

    He has to try and ball, and say all the right things...should be easy on such a GREAT TEAM...with the best player in the game right now....LBJ I guess is, but possible tie...bc Durant is the younger one...

    He's one of the Space Jam aliens, and stole talent from somebody

    Well he got in a good 20 minutes before fouling out tonight.
    10 pts, 5 rebs, 2blks is pretty good for a center off the bench.;)

    He is likely to average more fouls PM then points or rebounds.
