Brooks isn't that high on him I think. The Thunder were blowing out Charlotte by 50 and Lamb earlier this week was still sitting on the bench. He got in the game but he was mediocre, didn't shoot the ball well, picked up a bunch of quick fouls. He'll be fine in the long haul though, as will PJ3. OKC's just that good at drafting. Look at guys like Byron Mullens & Cole Aldrich, rode the bench in OKC and are now solid role players on other teams. And both Lamb & PJ3 are more talented than both of those guys.
Isn't Charles Barkley commentating tonight? It's bad enough the game will probably be extremely one-sided but now I have to listen to Charles for over 48 minutes. Oh well hopefully he'll provide at least a couple laughs.

Just want to point this out. The Pistons started off 0-8 but are 5-3 since they moved Rodney Stuckey to 6th man and promoted Kyle Singler to starter. I still hold on to my prediction off them making the playoffs as the 8th seed. IDC IDC IDC

lamb getting sent down is so he could get playing time. brooks can't manage minutes w/ his bench well at all and lamb fell into the problem that brooks sticks with what he knows for far too long. lamb also ran into the issue that he's behind reggie jackson on their bench and they pair jackson with maynor.
thabeet getting a standing ovation for coming back out was fun.

I want to hype the return. It was reported today that he's eyeing a Jan 18th return, 8 months after surgery. We'll see if the front office obliges with that. Here are some videos Adidas put together. Pretty cool series.

I'm fucking pissed. I have been anticipating this San Antonio Spurs @ Miami Heat game all week. Now that the game is on, I learn that Gregg Popovich decided he's not playing any of his stars tonight. No Tim Duncan. No Manu Ginobili. No Tony Parker.
