I guess one thing about this team (in the regular season at least) is that they don't give up and play hard to the end. Series is basically over... but I still have some hope we'll get them in 7

The Nuggets faltered badly. They did not play like a team desperate to win a game in this playoff series, to defend home court, to take a stand.
They played like a team outmatched.
The Thunder is just better than the Nuggets, and it is proving it every game.
This series isn't coming back to Oklahoma City.
The Thunder, though, is returning as the most impressive playoff team in the Western Conference. No other team in the conference has been as good as these guys.
The Lakers lost their opener on home hardwood against the Hornets, the Mavs find themselves tied with the Blazers after blowing a 23-point lead Saturday, and the top-seeded Spurs find themselves in a 2-1 hole against the Grizzlies.
As the No. 4 seed, the Thunder was supposed to be in the most competitive series.
Instead, it is going to win in a sweep.
Go ahead and make other plans for Wednesday night, Thunder fans. There'll be no game downtown. There'll be no need for Game 5.
This series ends Monday night.

Knicks fan here. I hope Gallinari plays tonight like he did on Feburary 25, 2011 against Portland Trailblazers, but you guys win the game:

I think it's fair to say that Gallo has won the award for "Best Playoff Disappearing Act"

I haven't watch the series much, am tonight, is Gallo getting touches or is the offense running through Lawson?

Gallo hasn't really been a factor on offense until tonight
Does it bother anyone else that Gallo takes a rebound and tries to go coast-to-coast all by himself which usually leads to a charge or a sloppy layup attempt. He needs to give it up early then get it back.

But is that because Gallo isn't do anything or is he not getting the ball? Felton and Lawson love to pound the ball and drive heads down to the basket regardless if it's the best choice. Gallo tonight is setting up players, gifted K-Mart just about all his points. Gallo is the type of player that can be a factor even when he's not scoring as long as he's getting touches. Then again, maybe he just hasn't been agressive this series, but I'm skeptical given the personal on this team.

Gallo was getting the ball, he just didn't decide to do anything with it until I started talking ish about him 30 minutes ago.

Keep them brooms away.
Karl's rotations were bad tonight but not as bad as the first 3 games. Felton under 30 minutes, JR over 20, WC finally getting benched for his **** play.
A lot less 2 Pg rotation, though Karl used it in crunch time which ultimately let OKC have a chance to tie/win the game.
We really need to get rid of Felton this offseason. The guy has been a ballhog all series.

Get rid of George Karl. Guy is such an overrated coach.

Good game guys, it was pretty ugly for both teams. Win is a win though.

Gallo, Lawsome and JR saved the day and helped the Nuggets avoid the sweep tonight. That is the best game Gallo has played since joining the team imo. He did a little bit of everything out there tonight, I am happy for him because he needed a game like this.
I still don't understand GK's mancrush for the 2pg lineup, it doesn't work against OKC, so please stop using it. Nene planting Perkins on the floor was funny. This series could just as easily be 3-1 Nuggets right now. I hope that skank that wrote the article in the OKC paper is looking for a job soon

Gallo said to to the crowd "See you Soon." That is the attitude i wanna see from this guy.He has shown flashes of great skill but he needs to work really hard this summer. get stronger and get the mentality that when you drive in don't look to just get fouled and flop, but to drive in and finish. He definitely has the size and could become a great player in this league if he dedicates himself. now. Confidence is key.... less felton,chandler,karl more gallo, lawson,and smith. I swear if george karl plays felton and lawson again at the same time.................... i just dont know how dumb he could be.
