Wow look at that a real live game thread.

I'm betting Westbrook breaks Kidd's creaky ankles numerous times.

I'm expecting Thabo to finally make an appearance worth noting.

I'd like to see some KD vs Dirk.

Oddly enough I like the Thunder's chances.

Mavs are an up and down team. Sure would be nice to catch them on the "down" and break out of this funk that the team has been in since All-star break...

Really think that Dirk would try and guard Durant? Not sure if I'd see it happening, but yeah, I'd love to see him throw one down over Dirk :)

The slew of Dallas fans here in OKC will probably have a few extra eyes on this game. Hopefully we can show the region that we've got a solid foundation.

Who would Dirk cover on D?
I see anyone being potentially hard for him
I mean you gotta give Damp to Kristic
Kidd to Westbrook
Maybe Wright to Thabo
That leaves Howard and Dirk left for Green and KD
either choice is gonna be tough for Dirk in my eyes

Durant just left the game and he looks to be in real pain.

They checked out his knee and all is good there. He has a sprained ankle and will be out for the rest of the game. They'll reevaluate tomorrow.

On the positive side... Thabo and Green are playing really solidly in his absence :)

Interesting to see how the players react differently to not having #35 out there.

Wow I finally find a feed and just in time to see Watson brick a lay up. Fantastic!

So Durant sprained his ankle?

I don't care if you're championship or lottery bound, this is a TERRIBLE way to close out a game. Earl "The Vet" Watson sucks!

plus westbrook forcing the action BECAUSE he has 4 teammates standing around watching the game. green needs to get more agressive. okc looked good without durant but its pretty evident they could use his services now.
