Haha the guy didn't have great potential, but he came in as a pretty good player for Phoenix. He's a really good defensive player that can score as well. The Suns picked up Jeremy Lamb, who has higher upside, so I made sure I picked up Lewis Brady when I dealt them Westbrook.

I'm excited to see what he can do.

Oklahoma City @ Philadelphia: Stingy Defense and Scrappy Play Lead Thunder to 106-100 Win

Oklahoma City was the underdog in this one, but they didn't seem to know that. Never relying too heavily on one player, the young Thunder played hard-nosed basketball and gelled almost instantly in this roster's first game together. This team still has a long way to go, but this isn't a bad start.

Oklahoma City @ Orlando: Thunder Keep It Close, But Fall 109-108

The Thunder were huge underdogs in this one, but they fought to the very end. After going on a run at the end of the game to bring it close, Oklahoma City found themselves down by a point with less than a minute left. After Stephen Braithwaite missed a shot, Lewis Brady dribbled the length of the court and dished it off to Tony Wroten, who blew past Bryce Baker. Wroten went up for the layup and the win, but the buzzer sounded before the ball left his hand, and the made shot was waved off, giving Orlando the victory.
