Among the Thunder masses, with Westbrook's two offseason knee surgeries still fresh in mind, there seemed a sprouting seed of concern. Consider it squashed, thanks to his best back-to-back performances of the season, culminating in a near triple-double during Sunday night's dominant 118-94 throttling of the NBA-best 18-3 Indiana Pacers. “Best game of...

Has Serge Ibaka become less dependent after last season's Russ-less struggles?
After Russell Westbrook went down last season, Serge Ibaka's flaws in creating his own shot were revealed. What do the early returns on that area of his game look like? When Russell Westbrook went down in the playoffs last season, the onus was on Serge Ibaka to step up and help replace some of Westbrook's scoring impact. Other guys like Kevin Martin, Reggie Jackson, and of course Kevin Durant were also responsible, but Ibaka was the one who had to make the most dramatic change to his approach on offense. He's always been reliant on others to create his shots, whether through pick-and-pop...
