    Nice dunk...I still say that steal, fastbreak, spin move dunk by Griffin was the dunk of the year though.

    pretty nice, he almost DH'ed it...but i'd still at least put Rose's over this one. Similar dunk, but much more style.

    Nice dunk by Wade.

    But this post trade OKC is looking scary as hell.

    Durant outplayed James, and I doubt Artest will bother him a second time in the playoffs.

    Westbrook and Ibaka however, are their biggest weapons against every contender so far.

    At least it wasn't Kobe or Lebron that got the dunk. They would have ruined it with some stupid under-bite facial expression.

    Don't do a dance when you're down by 9, it makes you look like an idiot and is along the same lines as predicting 5-6 championships before the season even starts.

    That being said, amazing dunk.

    Artest has still seemed to bother him this year. Besides, OKC has to get by SA first and I don't see that happening.

    Griffin's dunk in New York was better. This is 2nd, however.

    Agreed, but in a 7 game series I actually think OKC (besides Lakers) are the only other team that could wear out the Spurs.

    Luckily for Spurs, they have Parker to go up against Westbrook. Although I don't think they have anyone to stop Durant.

    A Perkins, Ibaka frontcourt will be exceptionally dangerous, as we just saw today. They absolutely dominate the Boards.

    The OKC frontcourt will be nightmare on defense. In fact, that front court will probably be the best counter against the Laker frontcourt.

    I like D-Wade and that was a great dunk. But to dance when you are down 9 isn't the thing to do for a player like him. The fact the Heat got stomped at home makes it worse.

    The whole personality of the OKC team changed when Perkins joined them on the bench even before he started playing. Let's just say he was very vocal, almost too much. His added intensity (minus the passive vibe of the two guys that were traded) has had a major effect. For the first time in almost forever, OKC started holding on to early leads and they actually had two blowouts before tonight. In the past, you could count on them to lose focus and concentration and play down to the level of their opponent. (This is why their DIFF is low).

    OKC now has an easy 6-game home stand that gives them a chance to stretch their win-streak to 11. Only Portland should give them problems. They can get in some practice time and work out some kinks. Then April is a little more difficult. We'll get a chance to see how good they can be.
