Huge game tonight. The Thunder come in on a two game losing streak despite leading both games by 12+ points. The division lead is down to 3 with Denver playing us two more times. We really need to get one of those two. If Denver gets both games this week against us, that cuts it to one with them holding the tie breaker.

OKC's toughest game remaining besides Denver - @ Lakers

Denver's toughest game remaining besides OKC - @ Dallas

There is a strong likelihood that the Thunder can in a sense close out the division tonight (barring a meltdown or unexpected losses). They have lost 7 straight games at Denver by an avg of 19+ points per game. Denver has won 6 straight games and their home record is very good.

Tonight is an opportunity for the Thunder to join the NBA elite. The elite teams, given the situation, would go in there and win. They would also be sending a message for the playoffs that they can win in Denver.

Its not the end of the world if the Thunder lose the division and 4 seed. They can still win the series even without the homecourt, but just imagine opening night next season with them dropping down a division championship banner. That would be amazing considering where the team was not too long ago.

I think we'll win tonight. The team on Friday and Saturday just seemed unfocused. Back to back away games means a lot of travel and after playing so well for a while there had to be a let down. The few days off probably really helped.

The world may not end but daggum that would be awful to lose home court at this point. What an awesome thing for what has been such a supportive fan base. I dont have season tickets but I just think playoff atmosphere in your hometown is something very special.

TTFU!

I was at game 3 and 4. Game 3 was the best atmosphere for basketball Ive ever been in. When Westbrook dunked on Lamar Odom and started an 8-0 run that got us back in the game....it went crazy.

Great, great win! I got the feeling they figured out what happened the last two games (losses to Portland & LAC) because the moment it looked like they were heading in the same direction, they go on a run and get back up by 11. Intensity!

Do we have one of the best backup point guards in the league?? I think we do. Maynor is always good but he was nails last night

Maynor was good last night. Some of those floaters were things of beauty. Made it look so easy.
