Fantasy Rookie Preview

There comes a point in every fantasy draft when owners run out of players who are fun to draft and start exploring fringe options. This inevitably leads to the Rookie Dilemma: is it reasonable to select a big-name, high-drafted rookie, just to make your team look better on paper, even if they rarely put up numbers commensurate with their draft status? For every Chris Paul (No. 4 overall pick in 2004), there are 12 Robert Traylors (No. 6 overall in 1998 – yes, really).

Brown’s 22 points leads Kings over Thunder (AP)

Rookie Bobby Brown scored 22 points and the Sacramento Kings beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 94-85 in a preseason game Friday night. An undrafted point guard who played 11 games last year in Germany, Brown was instrumental in Sacramento holding on to its fourth-quarter lead. Brown scored 12 points in the quarter, including two 3-pointers.

McCants sparks Timberwolves’ win (AP)

Rashad McCants scored 13 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter and Rodney Carney and Ryan Gomes hit consecutive 3s to help Minnesota spoil the Oklahoma City Thunder's preseason debut with an 88-82 victory Wednesday night.

Still adjusting, Thunder must take to road (AP)

Kevin Durant and his Oklahoma City Thunder teammates will have to wait to get settled into their new hometown. The former SuperSonics spent the offseason relocating from Seattle but their preseason schedule hardly gives them a chance to be at home. They'll start a road trip Wednesday night against Minnesota in Billings, Mont., and swing through Sacramento and Golden State before returning to...

Thunder’s Arrival to Oklahoma City Not Without Flaws

The newly minted Oklahoma City Thunder are a pretty good team. I don't think they will go very far in the season, but I say they take second in their division.

But why would they have a mascot that is Thunder? That is impossible...what are they going to do—make a noise? And come on, how can you have red and orange as team colors? That's not normal.

They said they wanted to be nice to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Come on, find your own colors.

Furthermore, the tickets are way too expensive for the NBA, and they are against the worst team in the league—that is just stupid.

Well, at least we got a team.

Oklahoma Fashion No No: Thunder Roll Out Hideous Jerseys

Clay Bennett's first words at a press conference in July, confirming the Sonics move to Oklahoma were "We made it".

Well, they made it all right—but I can't imagine a worse jersey design to put the exclamation point on the debut of the NBA in Oklahoma City.

Bennett finished stealing the Seattle SuperSonics franchise, and now he's decided to steal from a couple of the other teams in the NBA.

The road jerseys rip off the old Pistons teal jerseys of the nineties, which were just awful. Take away the numbers and word "Thunder" on the home jerseys, and you've got yourself a Warriors jersey. Not to mention, their logo is a bit Warriors-esque, and the Warriors mascot is named Thunder. 

Above all, Bennett probably thought he was sneaky stealing the basic design of one of the oldest NBA franchises—the Knicks. New Yorkers should be appalled. 

I see a hint of Nuggets and Bobcats in these jerseys as well.  You would think that with two years to plan and design a jersey and logo for his team, Bennett would put a little more thought into it.

I think their generic logo looks like a WNBA reject, and seeing Nick Collison, Kevin Durant, and Jeff Green being forced to play dress up in these hideous giddy-ups breaks my now Blazer-loving heart.

The Thunder jerseys could go down in history as the worst jerseys of all time. Karma is a female dog, Mr. Bennett.

NBA’s Top Six Centers in 2009

There was a time, not too long ago, when the NBA paint was a far scarier place. There was a time when All-NBA First and Second teams were populated by names like Olajuwon, Ewing, Robinson, and O'Neal. Nowadays, with Shaq on his last legs, guys like The Dream and Diesel are dinosaurs. Nonetheless, there are some talented young bigs out there that are trying to revolutionize the game in their own unique way.
