Latavious Williams impressed last night for the 66ers. View full size photo » Once again, there were D-League games last night, and once again they weren't on Futurecast. So I'm going off of the boxscores and play-by-play rundowns. Iowa Energy 99, Tulsa 66ers 89 I know the Energy won, but I'm going to start with Tulsa on this one, because Latavious Williams got the start. And he was very good....

More photos » by Sue Ogrocki - AP Browse more photos » I have very little subjective observation of Desmond Mason 's defense to fall back on. I was not a particularly devout connosseiur of Milwaukee Bucks basketball much of this decade, and I only got a few non- Kings Thunder games in 2008-09.

BASKETBALL NOTES BY ALEX (Free subscription) | 07/17/2009
We've been interviewing team bloggers latley . Now we're talking to Royce of Daily Thunder . It's a great site about a really good up and coming team. 1. The Thunder played in both the Vegas and Orlando summer leagues. Who impressed you? Obviously Russell Westbrook looked tremendous, but anyone else? In Orlando, Serge Ibaka was an absolute stud.
