Is Jordan the GM as well? Didn't they just hire Richard Cho?

If there's a chance to mention Jordan's name for any reason the NBA will jump on it, and if there's a chance to trash Jordan for being affiliated with a loser, a lot of NBA fans who hate him will jump on it. Nobody seems to care about what Jordan's role actually is.

He's the majority owner of the team and head of basketball operations. If someone underneath him is making crappy personnel decisions for the player roster and coaching staff, that's at least partially on MJ.

I agree that it's partially on him, just like it's partially on every owner or front office type who plays a role in personnel decisions. But that's not the way it's talked about. People talk about it like he manages the roster, but it's my understanding that he does not.

With his scoring title, his sweet shooting touch and his incredible ability to score while heavily covered, Kevin Durant might be the world's favorite Hero Ball player. But, whether he's sticking to the team script or speaking from the heart, Kevin Durant talks like a man who wants no part of that contest -- and he specifically talks about the value of hitting the open role player. Speaking to reporters on Monday, he said:

When I watch Finals, it was always guys like Robert Horry hitting big shot, Derek Fisher hitting big shots.

It wasn't really one-on-one against any of those top players. Guys off the bench came in and contributed, and that's what I remember. I remember a team against a team. It was never you just get the ball to your best players and have them go one-on-one. It was rarely about that.

That's what I know about this game. It's a team game and the best team is going to win.

Sound to me like Durant isn't mentally tough enough. He just doesn't want the ball at the end of the game. Must not be able to handle the pressure I guess.
 
I love KD and how the thunder were built. Im looking fireard to a great series of hoops with 3 of the top 10 players in the league and 5 of the top 20-25.

If GS holds on to the pick...I hope they take Lillard. He just seems to have "Why the #### didn't we draft him" written all over him.

Not to mention he's from here. I dunno, it seems like it is supposed to happen.

:2cents: * 3 of the top 5 and 6 of the top 25

Id probably put Wade top 5 also but def top 10 by everybody i would think. Im not ready to put Harden in the top 25 at this point (assume thats what you were going for). Regardless, great hoops await.
 
Want to wish the Thunder and their fans the best of luck.

I think Miami has a good chance to steal game 1, much better than they do in game 2. I like the Heat at +5.5 tonight...I also am realistic and it won't shock me if the Heat's problems that have plagued them for a while continue in this series.

Really looking forward to hearing from the Thunder fans, must feel amazing to have your 1st real professional sports franchise go all the way to the Finals. The fans in OKC seem genuine and a little part of me won't be distraught if you all win, you have a fantastic team and i just want to see good basketball.

As a Heat fan I feel like they must have 1 of 2 in OKC, 2 of 3 in Miami, up 3-2 going back to OKC with a chance to close it in 2 games...even then I believe the Thunder would be very dangerous. I'll say Heat in 7.



Good Luck OKC!!!
