8:01 p.m. RT @sportsdork: @nuggetsnews If he only plays three quarters...
8:02 p.m. Never understood why players (like Westbrook just did) yell 'and 1' as they throw up a wild shot with no chance of going in.
8:03 p.m. Durant technical for staring down Faried and screaming. No "F bomb." #tickytackcall
8:04 p.m. Kevin Durant has more technicals than Kendrick Perkins. Who had that going into the year?
8:07 p.m. RT @YourManDevine: Kind of feel like Marquis Teague has a Stefan Urquelle thing happening.
8:08 p.m. Kevin Durant is now tied for sixth in the NBA with seven technicals. Has more than Kobe, Garnett and Metta World Peace.

8:16 p.m. Good news for Manti Te'o? He doesn't play the same sports as Kevin Garnett. That trash talk would be brutal.
8:17 p.m. RT @NateKreckman: It was actually Elaine Benes that gave the eulogy at the funeral for Manti Te'o's fake girlfriend. #Susie
