Thunder should play Fisher at pg

Fisher had a great game the other night despite the loss but where is there room for him in the 4th? Depending on certain situations, the Thunder are going to have some lineup of Westbrook Harden Sefalosha Durant Ibaka Perkins. There are already six players I would much rather have playing on the floor than Fisher in the 4th. Which two plaayers would you have on the bench as Fisher runs the point?

Sefalosha is so important defensively, I wouldnt take him out, and they need to keep at least one of Ibaka and Perkins in, I guess I'm just not seeing where Fisher fits in.

Westbrook makes some serious mistakes, but he also makes jaw dropping plays and has gotten them to this point running the point.

I actually agree with you that it would be a good idea to have Harden running the point at times, especially if Westbrook is making bad decisions, but just on such a talented team I dont think Fisher will help the thunder more than whoever he is playing over.

The one situation I could validate him playing extended minutes is if he has a hot hand, in which his verteran leadership will be great but he can still provide that leadership from the bench. He does know what it takes to win, but Miami has trouble guarding PGs so why give them an easier player to keep in check than Westbrook or Harden.

He is a crafty, intelligent, tough, clutch and an inmense leader. haha

It worked pretty good against the Spurs.

Possibly the deepest the conference has been in quite some time, the race for both playoff positioning and a postseason berth in general in the Western Conference is going to be interesting to watch in 2012-2013.

"You want to get back on the court as fast as you can," Horford said. "He just wanted to make sure I felt right, I felt comfortable and I appreciated that because it helped me get back sooner and helped me feel more confident on the court as a player."

Love talked about several instances in the game when Roy caught the ball and wanted to go left, but Love was in his way. Love remembers that, and he's already looking to correct it. With more time together, it should be an easy fix.

The special attention he receives from opposing defenses present a problem, and Davis has struggled to score the ball at times as a result, but he still posted 13.4 points and 10.0 rebounds per game over five preseason games.

The 21-year-old rookie out of Iowa State says that his issues with flying actually started in high school when he was making the rounds in the high school basketball circuit. White isn’t shy about his issues, and shared what he goes through every time he steps foot on an airplane.

“It feels great to be back with the team,” White said, “Suiting up and getting ready to go out there and battle with my teammates.”

Upon joining the Rockets, White appears eager and ready to learn in order to do whatever it takes to contribute in Houston.

So Rasheed Wallace, fresh out of a two-year retirement, may be forced into action faster than originally expected to help bolster the team’s frontcourt depth.

“With me getting back and getting acclimated with the game again, I know it’s going to take time,” Wallace told Marc Berman of the New York Post. “I know I am not going to go out and play 30-35 minutes when I do start playing, but I’ve just got to work my way into it.

Is this the year the Minnesota Timberwolves reach the playoffs behind All-Star Kevin Love? Likewise, the Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors are poised to make playoff runs of their own, but can they seal the deal? Are the Dallas Mavericks toast, or will their new group of hungry veterans surprise us all?

What has stood out in the preseason is Jennings’ field goal percentage. He’s averaging 46.6 percent from the field through his first five games and hitting more than half of his three-point attempts. If Jennings can hold onto even half of this improvement from last year, no one will be complaining about the number of shots he takes.

“Brandon has done a really good job so far in this exhibition season of taking good shots. A good shot is a shot you can make on a regular basis and for everybody it’s different. For him, he is taking pretty good shots. He has a nice little floater he can make in the lane and he is taking that. He has a spot-up three and knocks it down. He made more shots at the rim last year than he did before, so he is getting better there. Those things add up to a good shooting percentage if you do that.”

The other part is you just can’t make a three and give up a three at the other end every possession. He is learning, believe me. This doesn’t mean Terrence Ross is not going to play for us or not a part of it. He is going to be big for us. He is our future, but right now he is just a typical rookie and you could stop every play for him [to teach]. He is learning.”
