A lot of people have been talking about getting the best record in the league or at least in the West. This has obvious advantages like home-court and playing supposed "weaker" teams. But, I started thinking that it seems like the teams with the best record don't always end up in the Championship. So, I went back a decade + and looked at every season from last year to the last strike season. I found some telling numbers.

Check out this link from deadspin: click on this. Kendrick Perkins lost SO much weight. He almost doesn't even look like the same player.

"Perk lost 31 pounds during the offseason."

It's slow in the off-season. But, there's no off-season for Twitter. Here are some notable recent OKC Thunder tweets:

PROPS to @jareddudley619. At 2-0, JMZ insisted Suns would just pull an OKC and win two at home. And I stood at his locker tryin not to scoff

I like how winning both your home games after losing the first two games of a series is now known as "pulling an OKC." It's also like how the Thunder are still on the minds of NBA media and fans. I think next year we can expect a lot more national games. Give the people what the want!

It's nice to see our heart, soul, and leader putting in hard work during the off-season. I hope he comes back bigger, faster, and stronger. The rest of the league does not.

Did you know Serge Ibaka has a Flickr account? The titles are my favorite. HIGH FIVE. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sergeibaka/

I did not know that. And, that is awesome. Any more access to IBLOCKa is welcome. I'm on a fledging quest to get Serge on twitter. By his teammate's accounts he is the funniest player on the team. It would be nice for the fans to see some of his humor. Plus, never hurts to practice his English.

I need to get my priorties and my shit str8 asap...until then everythig must go...so Twitter it was cool...peace

Wow. So, I guess Uncle decided Twitter was too much of a distraction. It is a little disappointing, but if that's what he thinks he has to do to get better then more power to him.

ALL MY FOLLOWERS FOOLLOW MY WHY NOT PAGE!!!!. NOWW LOL . . @WHYN0TTT

I don't really know the entire story. But, I guess a reporter asked why he could be a PG in the NBA or something and RW0 responded with "Why not?" Anyone got the exact story or link? Anyways, Russ is now branding this as his phrase, I like it. Especially because of all the haters from last season (looks over at Jim Traber). He's selling Live Strong type bracelets now.

There was a twitter firestorm about this the other day from many of my friends, finally got to see it. Colin Cowherd calls Durant overrated because he hasn't one 8 playoff series and other ridiculous reasons.

"He's a scorer, I don't think he's a Leader"

Wow, that seems absurd to say at this point in his career. Here's the video:

I used to really like Cowherd, but after this I don't think I will listen to him anymore. Clearly this guy doesn't know much about the NBA.

Ball Don't Lie blog does a good job of discrediting Cowherd. Click here to read the article. Do any of you think with all the KD/Thunder pub we will see more backlash similar to this?
