He's all Growns Up

How about some Al Jefferson, of 31 points and 16 rebounds against the Sonics fame, news?

David Thorpe mentioned Big Al in his recent article on post moves (Insider):

"Born to get buckets, Al Jeff is the modern master of the sneaky jump hook because he has an amazing sense of timing and feel for when to release the ball. He over-rotates his body on the release, which makes the move vulnerable if his timing is not perfect."

I thought that both Boston and Seattle were in desperate need of a shot blocker last night. Players were driving to the basket with reckless abandon. Oden definitely takes care of that.

I thought Durant showed a lot by refusing to fold after he and his team got off to an atrocious start. I agree with seemingly everyone that he's special, particularly since he can still grow and fill out. You can teach some of his skills.
