Okc will come out firing on all cylinders. Like they did against memphis round 1 two years ago. Play will probably drop off when they know they have them. Hoping for a sweep but thinking most probably 5 games , they'll have a lazy game as per. It's the post season dudes! Let's go Thunder!

8:30 start time...no fun. Glad the long wait is almost over.

I really hope for Billy's and our sake that Payne thing isn't some made up bs like it was a few weeks ago just to get to justify not playing him

At the end of the day we'll need Morrow and Foye's contributions more than what Payne would give us.

Russ in "jack up 3s" mode. We haven't scored in what feels like forever.

Well...Waiters and Singler the first perimeter players off the bench. Guess that means Singler somehow, miraculously, beat Morrow out of the playoff rotation.

They are just missing shots.

And it's Foye, not Payne, off the bench as the backup PG.

Donovan, you're an idiot.

We don't need Foye at all. Payne is the key to our bench and he always has been.

Singler is so slow, we are terrible at closeouts and when we do actually close out we destroy our defense for biting on a pump fake and allow them to penetrate.

Instead of playing perfect basketball and closing out this game in the 1st we are giving them little chances that will come back to bite us in the ass when they go on a run.

Apparently, Payne's 'hurt'
