The Thunder have lost just twice in their last 13 outings, and one of those Ls was against the Nuggets last Monday. Kevin Durant & Co. will have their chance at revenge against Denver tomorrow night at home, where they boast a 30-4 record. Last time around, Russell Westbrook gave Oklahoma City 38 points in a losing effort. They'll look for an improved defensive effort to help top the Nuggets in their final meeting of the regular season. Here's more on the Thunder..
- The Thunder are the latest team to make a front office hire from the agent world after plucking Jason Ranne from Arn Tellem's office, tweets Marc Stein of ESPN.com. The Grizzlies made waves when they hired former agent Jason Levien to be their new CEO last year.
- Though he may never live up to his NBA Draft hype, Hasheem Thabeet explained to HoopsWorld (video link) that he has has found a home with the Thunder. The former No. 2 overall pick has averaged just 2.3 PPG in 10.6 minutes per contest in his career.
- Last night, Mavs owner Mark Cuban took a direct swipe at Thunder guard Derek Fisher and insinuated that he tried to deceive him when he got out of his deal in Dallas.
I think Denver is the sleeper to go to the finals. That rebounding and speed is a tough match up for any team, and if Galinari/Chandler are knocking down shots, they’re lights out.
