Maybe the Thunder will rest Westbrook and Durant and take it easy on us.......

I think we lose this one, the Thunder really need it. One good thing about the loss though, it basically ensures the Spurs will be trying to beat the Lakers in a couple games instead of resting up.

With the fire and spark we saw last night in the Bay Area, I think we are fully capable of beating them.

We just need to come out and play the best game of the season. We beat them once at home but it took a lot of game and mind power to overcome them. But this is a playoff game for us, and we need to push hard. OKC probably rather face us/lakers than Houston, so winning us tonight would help them get #1....I am sure they are just as crazy about winning tonight as we are....they don't want to be #2!

We really need to pick it up...We need to keep our offense up so that we don't let them streak to far away.

Our defense can only do so much, but our offense is what will keep us in this one.

damn, millsap is awful to start the game. and mo isn't great either.

Post #12 » by **Inigo Montoya** » Wed Apr 10, 2013 1:48 am

favors is awesome. he shouldn't see the bench at all this game if he have the endurance to play the whole game.

and the refs are....not so good...

Why leave Millsap in over Favors? He's been terrible all game.

Don't know if that was to "protect" Favors with two fouls or just Corbin being Corbin.

Post #15 » by **Inigo Montoya** » Wed Apr 10, 2013 1:57 am

the box score says favors has 1 foul.

Post #16 » by **StocktonShorts** » Wed Apr 10, 2013 2:01 am

It's good to see Corbin return to form. I was worried after the last game that maybe he'd been possessed by a capable coach.

Ah yes, the Mo Williams end of quarter "play"

Love that aggressiveness -- gets other guys involved.
