Prediction:

If we lose this game we won't make the playoffs.

I'm all in on this team still making the second round (I'm less in about the WCF now) so I expect a win here.

Billy should be under a ton of pressure so I hope he changes our rotations a bit. I expect to see some more Burton. I better see more Morris and Noel.

Less Nader please.

Defense will be ready and we're going to take control of this game in the first quarter and never look back.

Feels like a bad timing for Nick's jersey retirement.

how so? I would love that but we are still 6 games ahead of Sacramento and they are not playing at a very high level.

They make the playoffs with any combination of 5 OKC wins and Sacramento loses. The Thunder should win at a minimum 2 more games and Sacramento should lose at a minimum 4 more games. At a worst case scenario OKC barely makes the playoffs. I figure they'll clinch a playoff spot on April 2nd maybe March 31st.

My attitude to watching this team play is pretty similar to their on court performances.

Apathetic and Lazy.

I'm in a fan rutt, a slump and tired of thinking "this game" is the one they start playing up to their potential.
I tihnk we dont have enough veterans on the bench as a minimum problem. Another one is that Felton is back in the rotation somehow.

Another one is that There doesn't seem to be any good coaches available at the end of the year.

Yeah I was looking at the 8 seed and mixing it up with the 9th seed. So I'll change my prediction and say if OKC loses this, they end up in the 8th, or maybe 7th if lucky.

They'll win this one and lose the next one on Friday in Toronto. It's given.

We're winning. We have to believe in it and speak it into existence. The power of belief is higher than any 3pt%. It's in our hands now.

Can we believe and speak the #1 pick into existence? Zion would do more good for OKC than winning this game will do.

Whoa haven't you heard? We have Zion on our bench already. Two Zions is just overkill man, talk about diminishing returns

We probably could have choked our way out of the playoffs but unfortunately the Kings and Lakers haven't held up their end of the deal.

Yeah that’s most likely how it’s going to go. We don’t have Lowry tonight but should have him back for the Friday game.

We already got Zion. He's sitting on the bench. Ask Billy why he isn't playing.

I dont know about that. I used to think we were aiming for that 1 seed, but nothing looks like a given anymore. There's probably a 10% chance we go winless the rest of the season.

When is Nick Jersey ceremony? Not available on league pass?
