Moneyballin': A Guide to the Current NBA PER Leaders
“I believe that there is a championship team of twenty-five people that we can afford, because everyone else in baseball undervalues them.” In the 2011 biographical sports drama, Moneyball, Jonah Hill’s character laid out a method towards compiling a budget-friendly championship team based on advanced analytics. In the NBA, if you were compiling a list of players with the...
State of the Thunder: Tough road ahead
OKLAHOMA CITY When you go 18-4, you don't pick apart the schedule and start looking for excuses.
When you go 18-4 it means you're pretty good, and there's not a lot of folks lining up suggesting Oklahoma City isn't one of the best in the league.
However, things are going to start getting a bit tougher in the immediate future. The Thunder wrap up a five-game homestand...

State of the Thunder: Harden not a factor
Listen, there are lots of guys who can shoot the ball. Really.
James Harden wasn't going to win a championship for the Thunder, and his absence won't keep Oklahoma City from winning it, either.
The loss of Harden will certainly be on everyone's mind as the Thunder head into their home opener Friday night against Portland especially since Harden went off for 37 points...

Oklahoma City: NBA Draft Grade A-
(28) Perry Jones III
The Thunder only had one draft pick but they could have gotten the steal of the draft. With one of the last picks of the 1st round the Thunder took Perry Jones III from Baylor. If Jones had declared after his freshman season he would have been a top 5 pick. A medical report caused him to slip all the way to Thunder...
Oklahoma City Thunder Sign Former Kentucky Wildcat Daniel Orton
The Oklahoma City Thunder signed Daniel Orton to a non-guaranteed deal the team announced on Saturday. This is a follow-up to a recent post from the beginning of this offseason’s free agent frenzy. Before Oklahoma City’s roster had reached the 15-man limit, general manager was considering Orton along with Devin Ebanks and Roger Mason.
With the roster already at full capacity...
Who Is?: Kyle O'Quinn
The Magic may have finally found a backup center for Dwight Howard to replace Marcin Gortat in their second round pick. Last year, Orlando went with Glen Davis as its backup center and it took Davis a while to fit into the role. Simply, Daniel Orton was not ready or healthy enough to take on the role. When he finally got his opportunity, he played well but the Magic had to make a...
Who Is?: Terrence Jones
Kentucky has had a nice run of NBA prospects. John Calipari is not a coach who beats around the bush. He is trying to get his players jobs in the league and he does a great job of it.
This year will be no different with Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist expected to go at the top of the draft.
Orlando has some experience with Calipari's Kentucky players. The Magic drafted...
Who Is?: Andrew Nicholson
The Magic's draft history outside the lottery is pretty awful. Brooks Thompson, David Vaughn, Daniel Orton. These are all players taken in the 20s of the first round that were seeming mere "throw-away" picks rather than an asset the team could use. The lone exception is Courtney Lee.
Lee was a four-year player from a small school from the Sun Belt (Western Kentucky...

The Deep Slant with Mike Ferguson (Week of April 14-20)
Another week has gone by. This week, we have missing person found, a NBA team getting demoted and a superstar tired of being a celebrity. Missing Person Found in Orlando After a report was filed nearly two years ago regarding a missing person, Daniel Orton was found disguised as a professional basketball player sitting on the Orlando Magic bench.

Brandon Rush is Hagar to Roth’s David Lee
Timbeeerrrrrrrrrrrr, that’s the sound of big men dropping like flies in the NBA. Let’s start with David Lee who is done-zo for the season with a stress reaction in his hip. Basically he fell and he can’t get up, or something like that. Look, let’s face it, there is nobody on Golden State that’s going to replace David Lee’s fantasy production so we’ll have to go to Plan...
Another One Bites The Dust, Big Baby Davis Hurt In Orlando’s Win Over Cleveland
The NBA franchise that resided in Orlando could accurately change their name to the “Orlando M.A.S.H” as the club’s roster has been decimated by injuries over the past few weeks. The first player to go down was veteran forward Hedo Turkoglu who had his right cheekbone fractured when the team played the New York Knicks at the beginning of the month. Turkoglu will miss the...
Playoffs clinched
The big picture never looked bleaker than an awful moment midway through the first quarter.
Glen Davis and the Magic were rolling, beginning to build a lead with some relatively suffocating defense and a patient, attacking offense -- the kinds of things we did not see in a Friday loss to the Hawks. This looked like a game that would be just the confidence-booster the team needed...
Former Cats in the NBA: Groundhog Day Edition
