Let's be honest. The word 'injury' probably isn't on anyone's top 10 list of favorite words in the dictionary. There is absolutely not one positive thing that comes out of getting injured besides possibly picking up girls at the bar out of sympathy. After that, what positive thing do they do for us? The word definitely doesn't have many fans in the NBA community. If your team's name and ...

Since most people are caught up in the postseason of college basketball, I thought it would be fun to start conversation up about the postseason in the NBA. With that in mind, why not start this whole sha-bang off with my favorite team? If the season ended today, the Oklahoma City Thunder would take on the Utah Jazz in arguably the most intriguing first round matchup of the playoffs.  The Utah Jazz ...

In the league today, with the new rules that took over in 2003, one player can basically carry a team. If that player is a super star, the sky is the limit as far as how far a team can go as long as that player stays hot. I was watching SportsCenter last night watching some game highlights from the evening and started to think about how many great duo's ...

Not many players reach the elite status in their first three years in the league. In fact, nobody in the league has reached elite status that quick. Sure, you can say LeBron James. But who else? Kobe didn't become a premier player until around year five. His first few years he was able to ease into the position with a stellar cast around him. ...

This season is the start of the future powerhouse of the league.á This season is the emergence of one super-star and the rising of a star side-kick.á This is the season where a certain player shuts up all the critiques and makes a name for himself, not just his star teammate. This certain player came into the league having to play a whole new position he never played.á He came into ...

The chase for the ping-pong ball is on and every lottery team will be looking to get John Wall. The Nets are currently in a good position to get the first pick and get the highly skilled Kentucky player. However, history as of late has shown that the team with the best chance to get the first pick hasn't gone that way too often for the past few years ...

A lot as happened this year to the league's promising rookies. You know it's a good class when they can break the streak and beat the sophomore team in the rookie challenge. After the trade line came to an end, many rookies roles changed greatly and have been capable of finally showing their talents. Because some of them haven't received as much spotlight as some other big ...

With the trade deadline coming to a close within 24 hours, just about every GM's phone will be ringing off the hook all day long. Thunder GM Sam Presti definitely fits into that category. So just for fun, let's play the 'what if' game with the Oklahoma City Thunder and try to throw some trade ideas out there. My favorite trade idea, which is extremely unlikely, is going after somebody like Marc ...

I really don't need to say much. If you've watched any ESPN, NBA Network, or any Thunder basketball game, you can read the headline and agree.á Nobody is truly more valuable to their team than Kevin Durant.á Absolutely nobody.á So why is he only third in most sites ranking for the MVP race? I'd love to know the answer.á Sure, LeBron is having another "LeBron" year.á But he has a great cast ...

You're already thinking about it.á So let's just ask the question again;á Why? What about this team draws us in and makes us huge fans?á They're new, extremely young, and not even that great yet.

After reading an article on dailythunder.com, it got me thinking.á Maybe we like them because we're watching the beginning of something.á Something that's potentially ...
