Jason Terry outperformed the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year, Lamar Odom, last series. Now he goes up against "The Beard," Oklahoma City Thunder second-year sixth man James Harden.

But Terry, never one to think small or keep his thoughts to himself, is thinking big picture and talking about it.

"I’m trying to outperform their entire bench," Terry said after Monday's practice. "That’s what I do."

Surely, Harden and other Thunder reserves such as guard Eric Maynor and forward Nick Collison will find that interesting.

"Whichever bench comes to play and outplays the other one," Terry said, "the other team has the advantage."
