OKC THUNDER beat SHAMROCKS without DURANTULA.....ROSE leads BULLS over MAVS...HEAT beat BOBCATS..and MATT BARNES leads LAKESHOW over 10k lakes

I know its early but if you would have told me that the Oklahoma City THUNDER were going to beat the GREEN TEAM without the NBA's Leading Scorer KEVIN DURANT I would have told you WHATEVER! But that is exactly what happened last night in the NEW GARDEN in BEANTOWN.

ALL-STAR to be THUNDER Point Guard RUSSELL Westbrook from the UCLA BRUINS by way of WESTCHESTER HS in LOS ANGELES led the THUNDER with 31 points and 6 helpers. The CELTS look like down the stretch they were going to take control of the game as the THUNDER went ice cold but could never get over the hump and couldn't make key plays when they needed them. The CELTS were led by The BIG TICKET Kevin Garnett with 16 points and DOUBLE R Rajon Rondo had 7 helpers.

The Chicago BULLS shook off a sluggish road start in the BIG D to win in DALLAS 88-83. The game's tempo never took a fast turn as neither team could pull away from another in a see saw battle that featured 2 of the best in the Association in DERRICK ROSE and The DIGGLER Dirk Nowitszki. BULLS coming off of a disappointing loss in SAN ANTONIO Wednesday needed this one in a big way as they are 2-1 on the CIRCUS TRIP 7 road games in 14 days. ROSE led the BULLS with 22 and 6 while DIRK led the MAVS with 36 Duetsch Marks.

NOTE: Reason they call the BULLS Road Trip "The CIRCUS Trip" because there is a circus going on in the BULLS ARENA the UNITED CENTER for about a week and a half.

The Miami HEAT shook off some early dust to hang on and beat MICHAEL JEFFREY'S Team ( MICHAEL JORDAN) the Charlotte BOBCATS 95-87. KING JAMES and D-WADE led the HEAT almost at every corner as early on they were giving the CATS the Business with a 56-37 lead at the half. BOBCATS F STEPHEN "WACKO JACKO" Jackson led a furious comeback with 30 points but the CATS fell short.

The HEAT were led by none other than KING JAMES with a smooth and effortlessly treinta y dos puntos. Minus the victory the HEAT look like they are a long way from putting it together as they still seem to be struggling in different areas and not as sharp as one might think t almost about a month in the season. The BLUEDUDE still thinks Heat Coach ERIK SPOELSTRA is being heavily watched by one PAT RILEY and O RILES needs to start seeing improvements soon.

NOTE: HEAT F Chris Bosh had this to say early in the week," Well we have been working a little and COACH SPO needs to meet us half way because we just want to chill a little bit"...........HUH?..............WHAT?..........How about chilling on that big DIRECT DEPOSIT you get twice a month................BOSH would have never said that if COACH RILEY is on the BENCH....which tells me there is a little bit of a respect problem towards COACH SPO than everyone is leading on to believe.........WE WANT TO JUST CHILL A LITTLE BIT.............the SOUTH DALLAS TEXAS LINCOLN HS Product has lost his mind .......4 REAL.

The LA LAKERS made quick work of the TWIN CITIES TIMBERWOLVES Friday night with a convincing 112-95 win at the TARGET CENTER. Looking at the Box Score one would think the BLACK MAMBA ,KOBE BRYANT, and the SPANIARD, PAU GASOL went off and the T-WOLVES had no answer...............WRONG.

BUT it was free-agent pick-up F MATT BARNES by way of WESTWOOD (UCLA) that stole the headlines and highlights with a 24 point, on 7-7 from the field, 5-5 from 3 pt. range, 5-5 from the charity stripe, 7 rebounds, and 6 helpers in 24 minutes.....that's what you call playing efficiently. On a quiet note T-WOLVES F MICHAEL "B-EASY" BEASLEY led the WOLVES with 25 and 10. The former 2nd pick in the 2008 NBA Draft has been playing with a little bit of inspiration after getting traded by the HEAT in the Off-Season. Just think what would have been if the HEAT had the #1 pick and added BOSH and KING JAMES with WADE and D-ROSE.............CHAMPIONSHIP.............coulda woulda shoulda.....the BLUEDUDE just saying.....

THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS continued their winning ways with a 94-82 victory over Deron Williams and the UTAH JAZZ. The much maligned TONY PARKER had 24 pointa and the BIG FUNDAMENTAL TIM DINCAN chipped in with 19 and 14. The JAzz were led by D-WILL's 23-5. The SPURS now stand at 10-1 on the young season including 5-0 on the road. Speaking of the road the JAZZ need to get away from their home diggs so they can go on another tear like that last road trip.
