So far the Thunder have played 2 close games against the Spurs.
I hope it wot be that close this time.
I predict big games from Harden, Westbrook and and JGreen.
Durant will end his 25 point streak but the Thunder win by 9.

I like the fact that we are leading after 1 quarter despite not playing very well.
Shooting only 41.7% from the field.
KD strong so far, especially on the boards with already 6 pull downs, also FGreen doing great.
Once the shooting gets better, we should be fine.

Hope Blair doesnt explode for a 20-20 again...

GO Thunder

What's wrong with Westbrook? 0 pts in half.

:noway: :noway:
5 on 16 shooting from the field (0-3 3pts) and 5 from 10 from the line in the 2nd Q.
Thats really really REALLY bad!!
Also only 16 FGAs??

The Thunder need to turn up the 3rd quarter!!

Man this is going to be a thriller at the end.
But the Thunder will prevail.

Btw, why are Collison and Ibaka not playing? We could use them against this Blair guy now...

Ginobili is impressive. Single-handedly destroying us.

An epic meltdown in the last 3 minutes. So sad...I think Ginobili blocking Durant's dunk broke their spirit.

btw I don't like Sean Elliott as an announcer. Such an annoying SA homer.

Another winnable game lost. That Ginobili block was epic, won the game for them. Changed it from a one point OKC league (and probably another foul shot) to a four point lead for SA and they kept the momentum. Makes last nights stupid loss hurt even more. You would be pretty happy winning one of that b2b.

It kind of goes down to what i said when i posted the tough schedule topic. As the schedule gets tighter we're starting to see crap play down the stretch when we've been pretty good for the rest of the season.

Durant's streak ends. I'm pretty disappointed about that, he makes that dunk that Ginobili blocks and he probably had it.

Manu Ginobili just shat on our entire team tonight. What an effort by him, dude is a warrior.

I agree that the block on Durant by TucanGinobli was the straw that brock the camels back. Plus he was gobbling up loose balls like crazy.

We really could have used Nick and Ibaka. Again anyone know why they were out in todays game?

Mullens played 6 minutes more than I did tonight and he ony picked up one more foul than me.

Great job there Byron.

It was pretty clear last night that even though this team is winning, if Nick and Ibaka can't go this team gets incredibly weak up front.

This team may be loaded with young talent, but obviously it still needs to develop.

This team at this point just isn't deep enough to deal with injuries even if they are guys on the bench.
