Mavs got beat twice in a row on clutch shots by the inbounder ... you would expect better from an experienced team

Can Mo Williams stop flopping all over the place though ? CP3, Williams , Griffin ... it's Flop city not Lob city

Thunder sign All-Star Westbrook to multiyear extension


Posted Jan 19 2012 1:47PM

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The Oklahoma City Thunder have signed All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook to a multiyear contract extension.

Westbrook was set to become a restricted free agent at the end of the season, meaning the Thunder would have had to match any offer he received from another team. Instead, they locked him up Thursday with a new deal. Terms were not disclosed.

Oklahoma City has the best record in the Western Conference, with Westbrook averaging 20.5 points, 5.5 assists and 5.0 rebounds. He was chosen as an All-Star for the first time last season.


Probably a max contract... otherwise he wouldn't have signed silently like that.

Would you trade Blake Griffin for Dwight Howard straight up if you're the Magic or the Clippers? I think I'd make the move either way...
as for Jordan go big and play them both or use Jordan as a back up. Not bad either way. Good problem to have!

LOL @ DeAndre Jordan's decision making. Don't leave the JET! #206

the worst was watching Mo BEG for someone to help. Smh

Mr Big Shot!!!!!!!!! He don't have that name for nothin!!!!!!!!

$25 if you had "lob to Mahimi" for the last play. Really Rick Carlisle? Did he let Del Negro draw that up?

The Lakers need a real point guard. Fisher has a knack for hitting huge shots, no doubt, but as an everyday starting point guard he's just not good. It was one thing having him in the triangle, but in Mike Brown's unstructured offense there's not really a whole lot he can do. Lakers really got screwed by that CP3 trade, not only did they not get Paul, but they lost LO, making Artest their sixth man who hasn't been good on offense since he came to LA. This post isn't even as much about this game as it is the the beginning/rest of the season.

Kobe was like 1-10 in the first half.

Yeah, he needs to chill out, not in his vocabulary though, it's what makes him great but hurts him at times. Kobe is Kobe though, he's played hurt a lot before, he's had two awful games but he'll snap out unless the wrist becomes a legitimate problem. Regardless, their chances of going deep into the playoffs don't look good considering they're getting zero production from their starting point guard and have no scoring threat from the bench.

LeBron is beasting, impressive for them to win so easily even without D-Wade. He does this every year though, we have to wait until playoff time to see if he's changed from last year.

In other news, the Thunder signed Westbrook to a contract extension, first KD now him, there goes the hope of their stars leaving. Come playoff time your boy Remedy is gonna be on suicide watch, especially if they force me to root for the god damn Trailblazers (before they run through them).

LOL. But nah, ain't gonna happen. I grew up hating the Blazers, not gonna change. They're cool from a personel standpoint, obviously there's there's the Seattle connection, no love lost for Nate or the Hawk and of course I like Crawford. But that doesn't matter, it's the logo, not the players. I would go on longer about why you shouldn't root for them but the fact that you're a displaced Sonics fan like myself is your redeeming quality. And let's be real, no way in hell will the Blazers would win that series unless there's a major OKC injury, shoulda drafted Durant, that will go down as one of the worst sport picks period.

don't worry Greg Oden will come back in the playoffs have a great game and then injure his hamstring and fall on Durant in the middle of the game and durant will suffocate under him.

No matter what i wanted to root for a team in the division so i could root for a team to crush the thunder often.

and with my choices
Jazz: I'm not mormon so no.

Tiberwolves: ahahahhahahahahhahahahaha omg who would ever root for that terrible franchise no matter if they have Love or Garnett they aren't going to win

Denver: a serious consideration and did root for them for 3 games. of course there was the great george Karl. the main attraction though was my fav player of all time Iverson...then 3 games in they trade him. so couldn't root for them after that.

so went with the blazers.

This game was a good reality check for the Lakers front office.. I hope they realize we can't compete with the very best teams with the current roster (something every objective Lakers fan already knew before this game)

A solid young PG and a scorer from the bench ... our bench is horrible and without Blake , it is painful to watch .

Gasol is our main asset , I think we need to trade him for a solid PG/PF combo and uses the TPE to get a scorer/playmaker off the bench

Steve Blake is a nice backup PG but we still need a superior PG to start and another scorer/playmaker from the bench to make things happened ... we were already one of the worst benches in term of overall production despite Blake solid play.

You can't expect to win road games against quality opponents with such poor depth ... and all our losses are mainly due to being owned by quick/athletic opponent perimeter play... we need to get younger and more athletic on the perimeter .. period.

You can't seriously watch these 1st 16 games and think our current roster has the potential to go to the Finals , let alone win it all ...

Constructive criticism doesn't make you less of a Lakers fan

LOL, like the west is really THAT strong.. Oklahoma is the only team I see taking us out this year, and I think we have a good chance over them, considering Gasol+Bynum should shit on Perkins+Ibaka. ur acting like we don't have a good record, under these circumstances, and like we didn't just beat the world champs.......we could use a better point guard, but there are no DOMINANT teams right now that have a huge advantage over us. we shoulda beat the best team in the east, Chicago, as well (let that game slip away). but that's besides the point, the Heat and Thunder are beyond beatable, and the Clippers are not really ready to take it all the way.....calm down.

That stuff is all inspired by the people who made the Sonicsgate movie..yeah Portland is a common spot because of proximity but the directors also showed up at game one of their playoff series against the Lakers and a playoff game the next year against the Nuggets. The shit's all organized and funded (aside from Portland) by them and thousands of Sonics fans on their website. I'm sure they'll pop up at a playoff game this year as well.

^ Those games were in LA and Denver, don't see them ever showing up to OKC, but I get it, my only objective was to discourage being a Blazer fan.

The Lakers need a real point guard. Fisher has a knack for hitting huge shots, no doubt, but as an everyday starting point guard he's just not good. It was one thing having him in the triangle, but in Mike Brown's unstructured offense there's not really a whole lot he can do. Lakers really got screwed by that CP3 trade, not only did they not get Paul, but they lost LO, making Artest their sixth man who hasn't been good on offense since he came to LA. This post isn't even as much about this game as it is the the beginning/rest of the season.


u do realize we played the last few games without steve blake, and got a rookie (darius morris) playing his minutes, right? not saying we set at point guard, but the void has been MUCH bigger without blake.

Yeah..I mentioned that in the Lakers section..they obviously won't be playing Morris much once Blake is healthy, but the point is neither of their point guards should be starters. Fisher isn't a play maker and is a huge liability on defense which will hurt them a lot come playoff time especially with OKC...last time they faced Westbrook was shitting on the Lakers until they put Kobe on him, and since then he (and the whole team) have only gotten better. Ideally they'll have adjusted to the new pieces/roles which will prevent them from an early playoff collapse like last year, but at this point the Thunder have a very legitimate shot at winning the West.

Green is a nice player..but since then they got Perkins instead of softy Kristic, Ibaka is no longer a rookie, Harden is no longer a rookie, Westbrook has emerged as a star, and KD is KD. I would have much rather faced the the previous squad.

^i just think we have way too big an advantage down low with Gasol/Bynum over Ibaka/Perkins....i just cant see Thunder having an easy time winning in the playoffs when 2 of their front court players cant score. Jeff Green was their second best scorer- he added athleticism to the team, and stretched the floor for them....thats a big part of why we had a tough time taking them out.

He used to beat my high-school all the time. The NY media built him up like he was destined for greatness. But he just scrubbed it up in the pros.

Lance Stephenson too. Fuck Lincoln lol.

With that being said, keep an eye open for Isiah Whitehead. Top five player in NYC as a sophmore.

^ Damn that was one hell of a posting binge. Anyways, I was always a huge Darius Miles fan, I really wish he had panned out. It's a shame, cause he was finally starting live up to his potential and even dropped 50 in a game, but then he had to get micro fracture and could never make a legitimate comeback. Dude always made stupid off the court decisions too

yea....darius miles' last season was his best. dude was an athletic freak. like u said, he just started to pan out right before he went out with that knee injury. too bad, cuz dude was only 25 when he fucked up that knee. robbed of his prime years.. portland has the worst luck ever.

This will be a perfect example of NIK's absurdity.

Howard goes 25 & 25, "it's the regular season & nothing really matters yet".

Howard goes 15 & 8 while Bynum goes 22 & 10, "it's obvious that Bynum is better & more valuable than Dwight".

He can use that argument. after Aldridge's 1st half ain't nothing bringing me down...unless we lose...or he gets injured.

Kobe and Mike Brown were stupid for playing like it mattered late last game... Howard will shit on the Lakers today

Deron finally has a list too :D Not surprising, Lakers, Mavs, Knicks.

Good shit. Lakers and Knicks won't have cap space. Knicks have nothing to trade. (There's no way the Nets take Amare's contract).

Would you trade Gasol for Williams?

^ Why does everyone insist that the Lakers need Dwight? Yeah he's better than Bynum, but don't use this game to try to say he's the team's problem. There's MUCH bigger spots that need to be filled, look at their starting point guard and their bench for fuck sake. Maybe get someone that can play small forward?

Just watched Kevin Love hit the game winning 3 over the Clips from the back of the club. The WatchESPN app is AMAZING

and1 onslaught is the lightest shoe I ever had... try them nigga. look tight as fuck too.

good shit how the magic are actually being quite a nice team this season. so they won't trade howard, the nets will keep williams in order to sign howard in the off-season. then they will both just walk to the mavs because dirk is already there. oh boy how sweet that would be. only the russian mob can prevent this.
