Pregame podcast #3 - Say it ain't so, Joe

In this edition of the Bright Side of the Sun Pregame Podcast (that still needs a catchy name) we chat with Joe the Blogger from the OKC Thunder blog Thunder Guru.

When your team is 3-27 you have to expect to take some crap and Joe did with good humor. He explained that his young team's poor shooting efficiency is the root of their pathetic record but that replacement coach Brooks has the team playing hard and putting up points (but only winning moral victories). Other topics include:

  • I proposed my own theory on why the Thunder have only 3 wins (hint - it's related to the Kevin McHale excuse)
  • I used the opportunity to get a scouting report on my man-crush Johann Petro who I have long thought  would be a perfect backup center in Phoenix
  • We discussed was Nick Collison's injury status (day to day) and what he brings to the Thunder

We did not get into any of the mess related to Bennett moving the team or why Joe, a Seattle resident and life long Sonics fan, choose to move his allegience with the team. You can ask him that yourself @ Thunderguru.com

Thank you Joe for your gracious participation.

Ed Note - Still working on keeping answers short and crisp. There seems to be an art to making a quick point and moving on that I haven't yet sorted out.

It's interesting that you talk about Collison

I read some of the Sonics big men might be on the block if they sign Nenad Krstic to a contract. Collison’s a player I would love for the Suns to get. I think he played on the USA select team or something recently? His contract and Barbosa’s are fairly similar. (I always bring a Barbosa trade up because with the Diaw trade, our third big man is really Amundson. Lou is a solid player, but I think Kerr knows that having him as a third big isn’t going to bring you a champioship, which is why I’m hoping we see the Suns trade for a big man soon Joe Smith is a more probable option, but It’s the season of wishing, right?)
