There is really no reason to write a full recap of this game. A few things of importance happened, but if you watched this game last night you witnessed one of the manliest dunks of all time. Just look at that picture for a minute. Brendon Haywood is 7 feet tall. Kevin Durant is so high in the air that Haywood might as well be checking his belly button for lint instead of trying to stop this dunk. Durant is eye level with the rim. Just absolutely posterizing poor Haywood. And as Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson said last night, Durant should have been able to say whatever he wanted and the refs should have just turned the other way and not given Durant a technical foul. "Hey Brendon, I am going to have sex with every member of your family tonight and make you watch while you cry in the corner." Perfectly acceptable. Haywood would feel less violated if that actually happened than he did after he got his man card revoked on national televison. He is going to have nightmares of giant Durantulas spinning webs around him, paralyzing him, and throwing down right in his eye. Poor guy.
Anyway, the Thunder won, and don't think for a second it had nothing to do with Russell Westbrook being on the bench for the entire fourth quarter. Yes he was an All-Star, and he was better with shot selection last night, but if he was in during the fourth quarter he would have done what he always does. Run down the clock and force bad shots with only a couple of seconds left on the shot clock. On a more serious note, James Harden's beard is getting pretty serious. Why is he not on Brian Wilson's level yet? Just because Wilson is a certified nut job shouldn't affect beard status. It might not be as large yet, but it is just perfectly kempt. It is time Harden's beard got some love. I got your back James.
Oh and Dirk missed a free throw and the entire state of Dallas broke the world record for most people gasping in disbelief at the same time
