Let's get it

I feel confident about this one. The have won 11 straight, but those 11 games only include 3 teams who still have a shot at the Playoffs. Even though they've won them all, they have shown a tendency to 'playing from behind':

@ Wizards: Down double digits in the 1st quarter, pushing it to 10 in the 3rd quarter, then letting the Wizards back in it and closing it out down the lane.
vs Hawks: They were down by ~5-10 basically throughout the 1st half, pushed towards a lead in the 3rd and then blew them off the floor with a +17 4th quarter.
@ Pistons: Down 17 at the end of the first half, down double digits at the end of the 3rd quarter, then finishing on a strong run.
@ Nets: Didn't have a lead until the end of the 3rd, down by double digits most of the time, then a strong 2nd half.
@ Pacers: Down by double digits basically all through the 2nd and 3rd quarter. Then again with a strong 4th quarter.
vs Mavs: Down basically all through 2nd through 4th quarter; needing overtime to win.

Performance per quarter during this streak of theirs:

1st: 118.9 | 110.2 | +8.7
2nd: 107.9 | 109.8 | -2.0
3rd: 117.8 | 105.2 | +12.5
4th: 115.6 | 87.8 | +27.7

You can flip the switch vs bad teams, but it's not going to be es easy vs good teams. We need to take advantage of this. Gotta come out strong and can't allow them to just roll us in the 2nd half. Can't afford one of those 3rd quarters...

Sorry to burst your bubble guys, we going for number 12 on this streak. The Raps have a tendency to play down to their competition.

We'll see about that

If they move the ball and play with the energy like they did last night, they can beat anyone. Brewer has energized this team. I think it's safe to say, he was a great pick up.

Thunder are due for a loss. I see them losing this game, but possibly beating Boston. The next 10 games for the Thunder are tough tough tough. Good thing they have taken care of business against the weaker teams post ooc. They needed to build a little bit of a cushion for the next 10 game stretch which is brutal. A 6-4 record would be incredible, but I expect worse.

Thunder up people! Let's get it!

Their bench vs the OKC bench is wayyyyy in their favor.

Please play two starters at all times today.

Great start

Pillendreher · Post #15 » by **Pillendreher** » Sun Mar 18, 2018 5:27 pm

We need them to stop making trash 3s.

Pillendreher · Post #16 » by **Pillendreher** » Sun Mar 18, 2018 5:28 pm

Give Steven Adams all the money.

Thundershock88 · Post #17 » by **Thundershock88** » Sun Mar 18, 2018 5:36 pm

Great first quarter.

Pillendreher · Post #18 » by **Pillendreher** » Sun Mar 18, 2018 5:36 pm

Gotta prevent those trash 3s. They've already made like 4 or 5 of them.

Thundershock88 · Post #19 » by **Thundershock88** » Sun Mar 18, 2018 5:41 pm

Billy too dumb to keep a starter in at all times.

Pillendreher · Post #20 » by **Pillendreher** » Sun Mar 18, 2018 5:42 pm

Somebody please defend the 3pt line for crying out loud
