2008-2009 THUNDER GAMES THREAD

Great win for the Thunder...Durant or Oden...I think I'll take Durant...

 

Nick Collison made Oden his jailhouse bitch. I was pretty surprised by that, actually.

 

Aren't you supposed to be nice to the elderly?

 

Nice effort by the Thunder last night. The Lakers are playing phenomonal ball right now, but it was nice to see OKC hang with them throughout the game.

 

I didn't get to see all of the game, but the fianl score was pretty impressive. Did the Thunder keep it close all game or did the Lakers have the scrubs on the court in the 4th?

 

They kept it close all game. Every time the Lakers would get up by double figures, the Thunder would put together a mini-run to get back within striking distance. They just couldn't get over the hump last night.

 

I wonder if the bitter Sonics fans were able to make the road trip down to Portland for tonight's game, to boo the Thunder players who had virtually nothing to do with the re-location. I'm sure it's really affecting the outcome of the game.

 

The Thunder are hanging tough so far, 80-74 Trailblazers at the end of three.

 

I stand corrected, as now the Blazers are blowing the game open in the fourth. Apparently, OKC's All-Star break started 12 minutes early.

 

Holy crap, that was a great game. Let the Hornets jump out to a big lead, then KD pulls the Thunder back into it with 47 points only for CP3 to dribble around everyone and hit the game winner.

Phew.

 

Sheesh, Durant just one-upped his performance in the rookie All-Star game, by putting up 47 tonight. The Thunder's furious comeback came up just short though, as CP3 hits the game-winner with 2 seconds left.

 

I can't help but wonder if we couldn't have gotten a better shot with 2.3 seconds left than a halfcourt heave. Meh.

 

Why didn't we foul as soon as the Hornets got the ball? They get 2 pts- maybe less- and we get more time to answer.

 

no time outs left, so it's not like they could have drawn something up. the hornets pressed, so we couldn't roll the ball up to save time, either

 

oh my god, watson and westbrook just hooked up for the dunk of the year (courtesy of the top of marco bellinelli's head)

 

Have we stopped playing D? We are not going to win many games giving up 120 plus.......

 

some of it is a lack of defense, but some of it is the pace that the suns and warriors play.

 

Alright, the Thunder have it close going into the 4th. Let's see if they can pull one of these wins out against a Finals contender...

 

Well, the Thunder got within a point...then Kobe said "aw hell naw". Lakers win by two touchdowns.

Suck.

 

kobe has a tendency to do that to people. like, basically everybody
