James Harden’s MVP-type season must be crushing OKC

January 28, 2015 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Back in 2012 the great Bill Simmons wrote a great piece on Grantland that rips Oklahoma City management for breaking up a three-headed monster in James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.

KD, Westbrook miss Harden vs. Spurs

June 1, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have to be asking themselves, “Where would our team be now if we still had James Harden?” Durant and Westbrook won’t say it publicly but privately they have to be frustrated at Oklahoma City owner Clay Bennett and general manager Sam Presti for allowing their good friend to leave town. … [Read more…]

He’s Ibaka: Return of OKC’s Serge Protector

May 25, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Oklahoma City Thunder’s Serge Ibaka had a Willis Reed moment. For those who are too young to remember Willis Reed, he’s the guy who lifted the New York Knicks to a world championship in 1970 by sinking two baskets at the start of Game 7 despite a leg so badly hurt he could barely jog. … [Read more…]

Scott Brooks may be holding back Thunder

April 21, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Finding fault in a coach who has won 50 games three times and 60 once in the last five years sounds a bit ridiculous. But if you’re Oklahoma City, the time is now to win a championship and Scott Brooks may not be the right guy to get the Thunder over the hump. As good … [Read more…]

OKC’s Reggie Jackson has Spurs’ number

January 22, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

While all eyes have been focused on Kevin Durant during his remarkable scoring binge this month, lost in the shuffle is the brilliant play of Reggie Jackson.

NBA Northwest Division Preview

October 16, 2013 by Joel Huerto 2 Comments

Anyone who watches ESPN’s “First Take” knows Skip Bayless’ daily diatribe on Russell Westbrook. Bayless slams Westbrook every chance he gets, pointing out Westbrook’s shortcomings as a point guard and how he is curbing Kevin Durant’s greatness.

Durant drops career-high 52 points on Mavs

January 18, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Kevin Durant hardly seemed bothered by O.J. Mayo’s tying 3-pointer in the final seconds of regulation. It just gave the Oklahoma City star a chance for a career high and the first 50-point game in the NBA this season. Durant scored 52 points, including the go-ahead basket with 16.9 seconds remaining in overtime, and the … [Read more…]
