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.

Matt Barnes' ill-advised tweet after being ejected Wednesday night will certainly cost him a lot of money, and probably a few games, once the NBA reviews the situation. But it won't change his relationship with his teammates. Instant access to a global audience and any sort of impulse control issue is a bad combination. So when Matt Barnes got back to the Los Angeles Clippers locker room slightly before the rest of his teammates at halftime of their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, after having been ejected for an altercation with Serge Ibaka, he probably should have spent more time...
