Rox were awful on the glass in the 1st half, but they did pretty well in the 2nd half. T-Mac in 3rd Q was freaking unbelievable. I hope the shoulder heals soon. Durant, man WTF??? I guess he takes the "shoot your way out of it," mantra VERY seriously. Jeez. Great job by Battier. Scola played much better this game.
Wow, Battier owned Durant...Durant kinda owned himself too..but did anyone notice once Battier shaved his beard he reverted back to super defense Battier? We're gonna have to keep a razor by him at all times.
It's probably because he's been playing injured.. he probably just felt better moving around that game.
He really did own him. He looked scared, hesitant and frustrated all night. Durant is probably going to end up being a great player but for now i'm rather unimpressed by him. He doesn't rebound or play defense and 19-something PPG on 17 shots is nothing to write home about. Scola and Horford have been much more impressive and valuable to each of their team's winning causes.
1 word, when you're a rookie and the best player on the team. They'll treat you like Kobe, Lebron, T-mac and other versatile players. Durant is playing without anything to lose, so he might as well play around with his stats to make it more impressive. Its not like the Sonics are getting better any time soon. And IMO, durant will probably leave when his contract expires.
