OKC seem like they've started to figure it out lately. Their stars are playing a bit better together. Paul George has been great this season, playing arguably DPOY-level defense. And Westbrook always just absolutely murders the Suns, though I don't think we have played him since we got Payton. This one feels like a big tanky loss to me.

Jackson has definitely looked better recently. He needed to. The younguns always seem to be hit and miss, hot and cold. A few games in a row where you wonder why they are playing basketball at all and then they have a few where they show you something and ypu get excited followed by deer in the headlights again.

Bender has been that way the most. He had a stretch where he was hitting sort of everything and being aggressive and then he becomes a passive fawn afraid to shoot the ball wide open under the basket. He needs to hit the weight room hard in the off season and grow a pair.

Jackson is just the opposite. Not afraid to drive the on their entire team by himself putting up a crazy Barbosa shot that has almost no chance to go in. He has started to learn how to pick his spots better.

The team overall looks really good so far. Bender with some mistakes from inexperience, but he looks like he belongs out there. Len actually looks like an NBA starter.

We'll see how we look when the Thunder ramp up the intensity, but I really like how we look.

Thunder look like they were planning to sleep walk through this one. You'd think that beating them 3 straight times would make them show up. Jackson and Booker look great.
