Should be an interesting game. Looks like the Spurs will be pretty short handed. I expect the Thunder to build off of some of the positive things they did the other night and hopefully continue to work on eliminating the negative things.

I predict that the Thunder will start strong, build a nice lead, surrender most of it, then build it back up again and win by a relatively comfortable margin. I also predict the continuation of the Russ/Donovan/Presti/team in general bashing, doom and gloom, sky is falling commentary regardless of the outcome. :D

Trap game.

I thought teams were supposed to rest players at home.

You know what I would like to see? Every time a team does something like this, sitting healthy players for rest or some phantom injury, the other team turns around and does the same thing. How about if Donovan sits Russ, Adams, and Melo tonight? I’m half joking here, but this crap is getting ridiculous. The players have it better than ever before with regards to schedule, travel, nutrition, medical treatment, preventive therapy, etc. Oh, and most of them get 6 months a year off.

I never appreciated or realized what a good passer PG is.

Spurs are going to try and dirty this thing up. Their best chance is to slow things down.

Grant is the only guy on this bench worth a damn.
