Also, had Luka and AR not gotten injured, the Lakers would have held on to the #3 seed and had a legit chance to beat both Minnesota and San Antonio. At the end of the day, it will take a monumental effort for any team in the West (or East) to knock off OKC.

To my fellow Lakers fans like Boulder and JMizzy, what are your impressions of the Rockets series so far? I honestly didn't think we would win more than a game or two this series, so I'm shocked. Luke Kennard has been playing like (biting my tongue here) Austin Reaves. And what's with Marcus...

I want to be an optimist, but every day which we can't get a commit from a starter, that optimism wanes. This is starting to have a 2010-2011 season feel. After we went thru another round of NCAA investigations, Capel missed on every single spring target. We went into his final season knowing...

Next Moser learning task - RETENTION skills :) . Seriously, though, you can throw in Moore as well. Let's hope this new guy works out, though to WTSooner's point, there comes a time when the high school rankings no longer mean anything. OU is going to need some major increased contributions...

In fairness, his defense has improved in the past few seasons. When he was on Golden State, Kerr gave him props more than once for his defensive effort. What happened over the past few seasons is that he lost his 3-point CONSISTENCY. Since he was never at any point in his career an...

Buddy gets traded to the Hawks mid-season and pretty much gets a 'DNP- Coaches Decision" in every game for the rest of the season. I'm pretty sure he did not play a total of 48 minutes in his three months with the Hawks. Last game of the year, they play him for 21 minutes off the bench - he...

I think the player salaries will level off in the next 2-3 years as the top donors get tired of "not getting their moneys' worth". Below is Troy Aikman's personal experience. I realize that's just one person, but there will be a tipping point. I just don't know when. Troy Aikman announced he...

Ugh...Atak was a guy I hope would stay and continue to develop. You can't blame him for leaving, though. If many on this Board were questioning his inconsistent playing time / rotation, you can bet his inner circle was doing the same. If this guy can figure out how to play even average...

That was demoralizing in the sense that OU had a chance to win their first-ever postseason tournament and couldn't do it. Winning is contagious, but sadly, so is losing. When WVU started chipping away at our double-digit lead, I couldn't help but lose all confidence. I briefly got it back...

Thanks for representing, Ohio!

Correct. With those two healthy, we could beat the Rockets, Nuggets or T-Wolves, but they would be competitive series since all four of those teams are evenly matched with everyone healthy. And to win a second series, we'd have to beat SA or OKC. That was a longshot with our defensive...

Yes, his career looks very promising! It has been a rather challenging year to say the least for OU NBA players. The Hawks finally traded Trae Young with all his injuries coupled with the fact they played better without him. Buddy had been trending down for the past couple of years and...

I did have a favorite OU fan for that 2002 tournament, though. We played the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight games that year in San Jose. A clever OU held up a sign that read: "We know the way to San Jose...and we know the way to Atlanta, too!"

Interesting perspective. What's sad is that Arizona would have more fans in KC than OU. They were just building their tradition and that was their first Final Four. That alone should tell us our fan base is mediocre at best. In Atlanta, it was expected we would have the smallest fan base. I...

You make good points, as you usually do...but what if OU lost that game to Villanova by a bucket or two instead of 40+. Do you really think anything would be different right now?
