Houston guard Patrick Beverley is sure to receive quite the welcome from Thunder fans on Wednesday night. To try to get a gauge on just how, um, enthusiastic that reception might be I reached out to Garrett Haviland. You know him better as the rotund guy in the Mexican wrestler’s mask with the...

Championship contenders have to be good. But they have to be lucky, too. The Thunder’s luck came to a screeching halt on Friday when we learned that Russell Westbrook needs surgery on his right knee. He has a lateral meniscus tear, an injury suffered in the second quarter of Game 2 against the...

Apparently, Derek Fisher wasn’t brought in to replace Eric Maynor. On Tuesday, Thunder coach Scott Brooks met with the media for the first time since the team signed Fisher. It was somewhat assumed that Fisher was being brought in to be the third-team point guard, and if he filled that role...
