Thunder Starters



Mavericks Starters

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

somehow I have a feeling that we will win this one.
Let's go thunder!

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.

I noticed in the box score, 5 minutes and 0 personal fouls. Any updates?

if anyone hears any updates on him please post!!!

What happened to him?

Ankle Sprain is what it said on the mavs message board

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?

Wow nice team play with out Durant.

Great ball movement for Thabo with the 3 ball to go up by 12

nice game!!! jeff green is playing too passive though since the half

yeah great shot watson. way to show your veteran presence right there taking a contested shot from 12 feet out early in the shotclock. moron.

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!

WESTBROOK IS GARBAGE!!!

GAR...BAGE!!!!

I CANNOT STAND TO WATCH THIS BUM RUNNING OUR TEAM FOR ANOTHER SECOND!

TRADE HIM FOR RUBIO THIS SUMMER.

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.

I agree that he's frustating to watch at times.
