sorry but for time reasons i'm always late. just finished to watch the dallas game and i really don't get all the ado about chandler. the guy didn't impress me AT ALL. he can't play with his back at the basket and he isn't that physically dominant either. i'd rather stay with serge and nick, and look for our new center elsewhere


now, coming to the nets game
i hope and i believe in a good win

May the spirit of Tyson Chandler guide us to victory...

I haven't seen a over/under nor point spread yet but I gotta think if we are @ full strength & In our own House this should be a 15 - 18 point win for the Thunder.

NJN ..... 92

Yeah, he's real easy to piss off too. Like someone else said, he should've fouled out earlier. Just get a little aggressive with him down low and he can't hang. He'll try and fling you to the floor because he's an underweight center at 7'1 and he's not terribly athletic either. If our guys took a few acting lessons they coulda gotten Chandler out of there.

[REDL1NE]

We won by 3 in overtime in their house Dec 1.

WB is expected to play, I think we win, but they have some talent to keep it semi close.

Thunder notebook: Russell Westbrook OK, will start against Nets

Thunder starting point guard Russell Westbrook said the feeling came back in his right elbow when he returned home after Monday night's 103-93 loss against Dallas.

Thunder notebook: Russell Westbrook OK, will start against Nets

“It kind of got all numb, but it's good (now),” Westbrook said after Tuesday's practice. He will start Wednesday's 7 p.m. contest against the New Jersey Nets inside Oklahoma City Arena.

Westbrook hit the floor hard with 1:30 remaining in Monday's game and left for good. The elbow already was protected with a padded sleeve.

In his third season, Westbrook has yet to miss a game in the NBA and tonight will mark his 179th consecutive start.
