I don't expect us to win tonight but I can always hope, right?

Watching the intros is a MUCH better experience to help you get pumped for the game. Can't believe it took NBC saying they'll do it for ESPN to finally do it.

They're going to call that on Nesmith but not when Dort pushed Hali off to get to the loose ball?

OKC looking pretty comfortable offensively - good sign for them. Gotta imagine their D will lock in soon they’ve been sloppy to start.
