LeBron James only played 17 minutes on Wednesday night as the Cavaliers cruised to an easy win over the Thunder.

"Right now, we're playing the best basketball we've played in a long time," James said.

Cleveland rolled to a 117-82 victory over Oklahoma City.

While the Thunder struggle to win a game, their star player - Kevin Durant - says he wants to be with Oklahoma City as long as he can, according to a report by The Oklahoman.

"I want to be here as long as possible," Durant said. "That's what I tell everybody. I want to be part of the organization for my whole career if it can happen. So I'm not thinking about it at all."

A suit filed just over a year ago against the Oklahoma City owners by three Sonics season ticket holders continues to push forward in U.S. District Court.

Sonics' fans Robert Brotherson, Patrick Sheehy, and Carolyn Bechtel recently filed an amended class-action complaint seeking to have all season ticket holders from the team's final season at KeyArena be granted the right to buy Thunder tickets at Oklahoma City's Ford Center for the 2009-10 season at the same price and priority as they believe was guaranteed to them by the former owners in Seattle.

Rookie coach Scott Brooks has already left his mark on the Thunder, moving Kevin Durant from shooting guard over to small forward.

Durant won the Rookie of the Year award as a guard, but many around the game believe that the small forward position best suits his frame and game.

"I definitely am," Durant said of his readiness for the move. "That?s my natural position. I?ve been playing that mostly my whole life. The last game I felt a lot more comfortable at (small forward), guarding (small forwards) and just helping my team out in different areas. So I?m excited."

Durant is expected to see both his field goal percentage and rebounding numbers increase as a result of the move.

If things don't go well for Scott Brooks as the head coach of the Thunder, it is believed that Avery Johnson could be in the team's future plans.

Johnson has San Antonio ties with Oklahoma City general manager Sam Presti and played junior college basketball in Oklahoma.

With guys like Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, and Russell Westbrook, two first round picks and $25 million in cap space, the Thunder could become an attractive job.

Scott Brooks has been named the interim coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder for remainder of the season.

General Manager Sam Presti fired coach P.J. Carlesimo following Friday's loss to the Hornets.

Presti gave Brooks his first head coaching job rather than hiring a veteran coach like Avery Johnson, Flip Saunders, or Jeff Van Gundy.

"Scott is someone I feel will bring great preparedness and energy, abilities, and experience to our basketball team," Presti said Saturday afternoon. "I?m excited to see him work with our players. I think he will be great for our team and our community."

Not even one month into their debut season in Oklahoma City, the Thunder are already onto their second coach, but it is not right to lay all the blame for the Thunder's 1-12 record at the feet of former coach P.J. Carlesimo, guard Earl Watson told The Oklahoman.

?Everyone failed, not just P.J. So you wish the best for him. You wish you could have done a lot more to help him,? said Watson.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have fired head coach P.J. Carlisemo after the team started their first season away from Seattle 1-12, according to a report published on Sports Illustrated.

Citing a report which appeared on Yahoo! Sports, Thunder GM Sam Presti informed Carlesimo of his decision before the team boarded a flight to New Orleans. On Friday night, as part of a home-and-home with the Hornets, the Thunder (1-12) fell 105-80 in front of their home fans.

Scott Brooks has agreed to take over the coaching role on an interim basis.

Oklahoma City Thunder General Manager Sam Presti announced today that the team has assigned center Steven Hill to the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League.

Hill (7-0, 245) saw action in one regular season game with the Thunder. The Branson, Missouri native scored two points and grabbed three rebounds in two minutes of action versus the Orlando Magic.

After falling to the L.A. Clippers on Wednesday night, the Oklahoma City Thunder fell to an NBA worst 1-11 and received their first booing from their home crowd, according to a report by The Oklahoman.

With the Los Angeles Clippers in the midst of a 42-12 run that required less than 12 minutes, Thunder fans broke their silence when coach P.J. Carlesimo called for a timeout with 2:50 remaining in the third quarter.

The Thunder led by 15 points with 2:30 left in the second quarter, and trailed by 15 with 2:50 left in the third.

"Nobody feels worse than all our people," Carlesimo said.
