... Actually, that's only half true. Last night's game was not available on NBA Broadband and was not streamed elsewhere on the internets.

I love Russell Westbrook, would now take him second (behind Rose and ahead of Mayo) in this current rookie class, but Kevin Durant is almost comically overrated ...
