The Oklahoman's Darnell Mayberry took questions on the Oklahoma City Thunder today in his Power Lunch Chat. Join our Power Lunch Chat's Monday-Friday at 11 a.m. on NewsOK.com/Sports. Here's a recap of today's Q&A:
Nix 11:02 a.m. Who is in the finals at the end of the year? If Thunder, do we have a better shot than last year?
11:03 a.m. Right now, I still say Thunder-Heat. And, yes, I think OKC has a better shot. But having no clue what to do with LeBron is troublesome in my eyes.
11:03 a.m. The Heat seem to just be coasting through the regular season. Will they really be able to turn it on in the playoffs again?
11:03 a.m. I think so.
11:03 a.m. Who do you think deserves the MVP? Who do you think will win the MVP?
11:04 a.m. It seems it's a two-man race again between Durant and LeBron. I couldn't honestly vote for one without feeling guilty about not voting for the other.
11:04 a.m. Will the Lakers turn it around and make the 8-seed? If so, should that concern the 1-seed?
11:04 a.m. Lesson here, folks. Submit your questions early!
11:06 a.m. I think they're figuring some things out. So I say yes. But I'm not ready to say the 1-seed should be concerned.
11:06 a.m. do you think Durant and Ibaka barking at each other during the game is a chemistry problem?
11:06 a.m. Nah. Just miscommunication.
11:06 a.m. Thoughts about trading Maynor?
11:07 a.m. I don't think it'll happen. There's something to be said for having insurance and taking three capable point guards into the playoffs. I use the word capable loosely. But by April, both Maynor and Jackson could be better than they are today.
11:07 a.m. How do you feel about our loss to the Lakers?
11:08 a.m. It happens. Thunder played pretty poorly. Lakers played well.
11:08 a.m. Know of any nail salons?
11:08 a.m. I'd tell you, but then I'd feel like I have to duck from a Gatorade bottle coming at my head.
11:08 a.m. It seems like Ibaka hasn't been getting many shots the last few games. Do you think he is still not 100%, are his teammates not looking for him, or are defenses starting to focus on him more?
11:09 a.m. Durant and Westbrook have carried more of the load.
11:09 a.m. Kendrick Perkins : Bottle Throwing Champion?
11:09 a.m. No argument there. I just wonder if he was in the car by the time he threw it. If so, the velocity he got on that thing was impressive.
11:10 a.m. It seems like KD and Ibaka are always vocal with each other on the court (yelling, talking, etc.) Are they criticizing each other?
11:10 a.m. Uh, yeah.
11:10 a.m. I am sick of hearing about the soap opera called the Lakers, sheeesh
11:10 a.
