Most likely a loss. Let's just hope we get the 6th seed (and meeting with LA Clippers) either way.

Denver 101
Oklahoma City 108

F/OT

Maybe George Karl should rest his starters for this game and the last one against Minnesota? Of course it depends on the seeding, but I hope to see a lot of Birdman and Mozgov in the final 2 games.

Karl said there will not be resting plus he does not like to play players that are not in his regular rotations unless it is a garbage time really. We may see some Mozgov in there but as for Bird it is a done deal that he is not in this team's future plan & i can't blame anyone for it but i feel bad for Bird being in this situation, hopefully he will be moved to better situation or amnestied at worst.

We need to win out leaving nothing for a chance to stay at 6th seed to avoid potential OKC match up & that requires one all out performance after 2 days rest! Minny game will be more likely tonite's ORL game with Love being out & that game means pretty much nothing to them.

PS. MANIMAL is warrior that fall looked kinda scary for a bit there. Hopefully it is nothing more than little bit soreness going forward.

Hell no, these last two games have way too much impact on our playoff seeding to start sitting out the starters now. Continue to let Al rest and recover, but that's it. Winning out guarantees us the 6th seed, but if Dallas loses to Atlanta we only need to win one of the two.

OKC could be locked into the 2nd seed by the time Wednesday rolls around, so they may have nothing left to play for. Plus Harden might be out after taking that elbow from Artest. They've also been struggling lately, 6-6 in their last 12. I think this is a winnable game.

if we lose this game the minnesota game may be meaningless for us (depending on how utah and dallas do in their games).

this plus it would be a great win psychologically for the team knowing we can beat them. they have had our number badly the last 2 years.

we're leading 4 points.

We win.

Good sign for PO.

Awesome win!!!!!! This team looks ready for a strong playoff run.

One word = Brewer.

He had 8 pts in 8 mins in the first half, all off Thunder Turnovers. He forced Westbrook and Durant into bad shots and turnovers during the 4th qtr. He hit a huge bank shot with under a minute left to secure the W.

GK has to get Brewer minutes in Rd 1 vs Lakers or Thunder because he just makes big plays, he's a winner.

Huge win. You could tell OKC really wanted to win tonight so they could play us in the playoffs. Feels good to finally beat them on their home court.

Better not **** up tomorrow.

Good win. Faried's free throw shots looked really strange tonight... nerves?

I'll take the W. Not awe-inspiring play against a team without motivation (except maybe wanting to play Denver).

This team just won't do anything if Gallo looks like that on offense.

nice. didn't want to play OKC in the first round.

at least we stand a chance against LA if kobe starts chucking and karl actually utilizes our size/length. (lulz...yea right, who am i kidding....harrington at C ftw)
