Durant deserved it and got it.
Agreed...Nice to see Oden got 2nd tho.
Did you think Oden and Matta finally talked about the future on their trip together to L.A.? I know Thad was doing his best selling on winning a National Title.
I'm sure they discussed it some...Nobody has said anything but I think we'll know his decision by middle of next week at the latest...Oden doesn't seem to be the type to wait until the last day to announce at a big press conference...
