Go Thunder!

This will be a tough one to lose. Both teams want this one. But at least it's on the road. They are probably still upset about beating us last time and will really be gunning for the loss this time. The Thunder need this loss to keep their tie for the 3rd spot. If we win, we stay in 6. We're not going to catch Indiana, their tank is just as strong as ours.

It’s going to haunt me for years if those wins against Washington and det are what keeps us from getting Murray. Indiana will swoop him, watch.

Big lead, but this team knows how to tank from ahead.

How about worst best player? As in the Juan Dixon era.

What was more irritating, Juan Dixon stepping on or over the three-point line every time he pulled up, or Jarrett Jack touching the sideline with his heel when he caught the ball in the corner?

OKC had the gall to try to outank us with that lineup, and we just flatout said 'No.'

We need losses more than they do, they are easily a bottom 4 worst team and those all have an equal chance at a top 4 pick. We have the Kings nipping at our heels and we want to ensure they can't jump us.

Actually, hilariously - OKC has 24 wins. Indiana has 25 wins. OKC needed the loss.

OKC has had a very bad last few weeks in the tank race they are actually playing roughly .500 ball over their past 10 games. I had no clue they were wining as often as they were.
