Hello THF-lings...

Announcement time. ;)

I am very pleased, proud, and relieved to announce that our new website owner is...

...

SteinsGrrl!!

SteinsGrrl, or Mel, is a wonderful, lovely person and is very devoted to THF. She has been a mod/admin on the site for some years now, and I have depended on her for many, many things. I just know she will do an amazing job with taking over and maintaining the website, and I really hope that you all will welcome her, too.

Mel will have help; she has taken Fyredancer and vanillalatte as her second bananas. You should now direct all of your questions/comments/complaints/etc their way. They're going to be a great team. :)

So, with that, I bid you a farewell. I want to thank each and every one of you for making my experience as THF owner such a great one, and I've had some amazing memories here. I will be a regular member from now on and I am looking forward to it.

Thank you again, and I wish everyone such good luck. :)

When the Thunder announced that they would be signing star guard Russell Westbrook to a contract extension this summer, general manager Sam Presti had this to say: “He’s always been a key part to the resiliency that Dwight Howard Jerseys the Thunder have been known for. We’ve been knocked around a little bit, we’ve had some tough times, we’ve had some tough Joel Embiid Jerseys circumstances, but he’s the propulsive force behind each day, when we come back in.”Presti now has rewarded Westbrook, not only with the NBA Jerseys extension this summer (which was more a gift from Westbrook to Presti), but also with a franchise that has been revamped and Atlanta Hawks Jerseys rebuilt in Westbrook’s image. Oklahoma City forged a brand-new mission statement in recent months, focused on finding talent that fits around Westbrook, Mike Conley Jerseys and making him the most productive elite player in the league.So far, so good. Westbrook is one assist shy of being three-for-three Paul George Jerseys on triple-doubles and is averaging 38.7 points, 11.7 assists and 12.3 rebounds in his first three games. He’s not going to maintain Kevin Durant Jerseys that level, of course, but a 30-10-10 season suddenly seems possible.That’s remarkable in itself and will require that the Thunder surround Westbrook with the right support players. But consider, too, the tough times and circumstances Presti mentioned back in August. In recent years, the business end of the NBA has been unfathomably unkind to Oklahoma Custom NCAA Jerseys City, far more so than to any other team in the league, making the current outlook all the more impressive.Not long ago (though 2012 might seem distant), the Thunder earned a spot in the Finals and were poised for many return trips Klay Thompson Jerseys with the trio of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Westbrook. But months after that Finals appearance, faced with crippling new luxury-tax rules, Canada Goose Jacket the Thunder had to trade away Harden to the Rockets. The tax rules were designed to prevent large-market teams from flouting the Paul Pierce Jerseys old, more lenient tax and hoarding talent, but its first — and still most prominent — victim was the Thunder. There’s some Moncler Sale irony there.While a tightening of league finances cost the Thunder their hold on Harden, last summer’s flukish loosening of the salary cap, Russell Westbrook Jerseys thanks to the windfall of the new television deal and the unwillingness of the union to agree to a measure to “smooth” DeAndre Jordan Jerseys the new money into the system, cost the team Durant. Without that cap spike, the Warriors would not have had the cap Stephen Curry Jerseys space to pursue Durant, and he probably would have re-signed with the Thunder.Bum luck. But this week, Presti and the Thunder completed Kristaps Porzingis Jerseys a well-orchestrated dismount from their combined Harden-Durant fiascoes by betting heavily on Westbrook, both in his ability as a player and in Kyrie Irving Jerseys his ability as a compelling star worth watching.The team’s long-term intention to be Westbrook-centric was punctuated by the contracts signed by Victor Jahlil Okafor Jerseys Oladipo and Steven Adams jat the extension deadline for 2013 draftees this week. The Thunder have lost two MVP candidates in the Los Angeles Lakers Jerseys last five seasons, yet they remain in a situation most teams around the league would find enviable because they have a megastar Canada Goose Sale like Westbrook and young complementary parts.The deals for Oladipo (four years, $84 million) and Adams (four years, $100 million) were not cheap, Karl Anthony Towns Jerseys and they’re not without risk. But they’re reasonable market value deals, and they’re going to players who suit Westbrook’s game.Oladipo is 24 Sacramento Kings Jerseys and a very good defensive guard who can take ballhandling pressure off Westbrook (though he needs to improve his shooting). Adams, 23, Philadelphia 76ers Jerseys is the ideal big man for Westbrook: a tough physical presence on the defensive end who sets good, hard screens and is Kyle Lowry Jerseys a strong pick-and-roll man.There is other young talent to be brought along here, too: wing Andre Roberson (25) has a niche as Custom NBA Jerseys a defender and shooter, center Joffrey Lauvergne (25) who started at times last season for the Nuggets, point guard Cameron Payne (22) Boston Celtics Jerseys will begin his second season when his broken foot heals this month, and rookies Domantas Sabonis (20) and Alex Abrines (23) should Serge Ibaka Jerseys get playing time throughout the year.Tuesday, the Thunder added to that group by trading Ersan Ilyasova and a protected first-round pick to San Antonio Spurs Jerseys the 76ers for Jerami Grant, as The Vertical first reported. The 22-year-old forward has a very team-friendly contract and some upside as Cheap NBA Jerseys a defender and can play both forward spots. The Thunder can’t attack next summer’s free agent market without a trade, and there Golden State Warriors Jerseys have been rumblings that center Enes Kanter (slated to earn almost $18 million next year) is available. But he has been available Harrison Barnes Jerseys since last June, drawing little interest around the league because of his defensive liability. Remember, the Jazz were fed up with Kanter Cleveland Cavaliers Jerseys enough in February 2015 to shuffle him off to the Thunder for next to nothing, and the market on him has not Stephen Curry Shoes improved that much since.What we see from the Thunder now is likely what we’ll see for the year and for the near Utah Jazz Jerseys future — a whole lot of Westbrook, but with improving young players growing around him. There are holes (3-point shooting, most notably) Tony Parker Jerseys that will keep a ceiling on just how good the team can be. But give Presti credit. He’s had to deal with Oklahoma City Thunder Jerseys more quirks of NBA business than just about any other GM in the league, and yet the Thunder have emerged as a Minnesota Timberwolves Jerseys competitive franchise and a team worth watching.
Tim Duncan's number will forever hang in the AT&T Center rafters.The San Antonio Spurs will Lebron James Jerseys retire the big man's No. 21 jersey Dec. 18 when the team hosts the New Orleans Pelicans, the team announced Wednesday.A special Elfrid Payton Jerseys postgame ceremony honoring Duncan is also scheduled to take place.The first overall pick in the 1997 NBA Draft, Duncan led a 19-year Houston Rockets Jerseys storybook career in San Antonio that included five NBA championships, two MVP awards and 15 NBA All-Star nods. The future Hall of James Harden Jerseys Famer will become the eighth Spurs player in franchise history to have his number raised, joining Bruce Bowen (12), Sean Elliott (32), Cheap NCAA Jerseys George Gervin (44), Avery Johnson (6), Johnny Moore (00), David Robinson (50) and James Silas (13).

The rapper showed up for his own promotion night Indiana Pacers Jerseys with the Raptors on Wednesday sporting a shirt with a photo of ESPN's Doris Burke and the words "Woman Crush Everyday" underneath. Chicago Bulls Jerseys
Celtics forward Al Horford has been ruled out for at least Wednesday’s game against the Bulls, the team announced, as he Kyrie Irving Jerseys goes through the NBA’s concussion protocol. According to the Celtics, Horford, who is averaging 12 points and 5.3 rebounds, reported being hit Canada Goose Outlet in the head during practice Monday. He experienced no symptoms until practice Tuesday. The league's concussion protocol will require him first to Lebron James Shose complete a series of tests without showing any symptoms of a concussion, and then a member of the Celtics medical staff will LaMarcus Aldridge Jerseys consult with a representative from the NBA's concussion program.If he experiences symptoms during the initial testing, the testing will stop.According to The Moncler Jackets Boston Globe, Celtics coach Brad Stevens has a couple of options in Horford's absence: He could move Tyler Zeller into the starting Kyrie Irving Shoes five or go with a smaller lineup and move Jae Crowder to power forward.
Russell Westbrook proved Friday that he doesn't miss Warriors Team Store having Kevin Durant by his side.The Thunder point guard put together a historic night to help Oklahoma City beat the Suns 113-110 Cleveland Cavaliers Jerseys in overtime by scoring 51 points with 13 rebounds and 10 assists. It's the first 50-point triple-double since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1975.Despite Dallas Mavericks Jerseys the impressive stat line, a closer look does show a few flaws in Westbrook's performance. He shot just 17 of 44 from Kevin Durant Shoes the field, and 2 of 10 from beyond the arc.The poor shooting aside, Westbrook was everywhere on the court to lead the John Wall Jerseys Thunder (2-0) back from a 6-point deficit entering the fourth quarter.Westbrook, who scored 32 points with 12 rebounds and nine assists in Moncler Outlet a season-opening win over the 76ers, has clearly found a nice rhythm in this offense without Durant taking away opportunities.
