If Reggie can continue to develop the way he is, it's probably better to have backup PG like Reggie who is more like a poor-man's RW than he is a true-PG. It ought to help the continuity in the "offense" that OKC runs.

Been really impressed with Reggie lately, and I think he's playing his way into a decent playoff minutes. He's averaging 15.6 MPG since the All-Star Break and averaged 17.9 in February. I think those minutes have gone a long way in his development.

I predicted 3 to 6 minutes earlier in the season...I think I'll bump that up to 8-12 minutes.

Here are my predictions:


35: ~44
0: ~42
9: ~36
23: ~33
2: ~30
5: ~24
4: ~22
15: ~6
34: ~3

The typical Thunder fan.

The typical d-bag...

I was at the game and didn't even hear Green's announced check-in.

Either way he played here 3 years ago... Not really deserving of a standing O.

I notice the crowd generally loves Fisher, though. Like everyone freaks out when he hits a 3. I find it odd.

I was at the game too, and Green was announced the same time as Nick Collison, they both came into the game at the same time, and the fans gave both a nice ovation, but not a standing ovation, which is totally not necessary.

Spurs take down the Thunder then get throttled (currently down 25 in the 4th) to the T-Wolves?.....ok

And the Celtics lost to the Bobcats by 26. Kind of a backwards night in the NBA.

I guess those second nights in a row really whoop everyone...

Watched this on LP...they didn't bring Duncan or Kawhi Leonard on the trip. Plus Gary Neal barely played...and Ginobili & Splitter were awful.

Plus Minnesota shot lights out & Rubio got a triple double.

Where is the best place to get Thunder tickets? It seems that Stubhub, Thunder ticket exchange, Craigslist, et al. have everything at 2x face value for just about every game. Do these prices drop as game time nears? Is it best to just go buy outside the arena prior to the game?

Haven't been in this position in a few years. Any help is welcome.

Stubhub dropped for me, right before game time. It was the Phoenix game a few Fridays ago. Tickets were selling for $35+ for the $10 seats, picked one up at $14 just 30 minutes before tip off. The Courtyard next to the arena lets you print them off if you tried to get tickets at the arena but failed (definitely try their lottery, worth a shot).

I forgot about the lottery. I'll give that a try, too.

Guy next to our seats sells his big game tickets usually.

He got $80 per ticket for the LAL game last week and he owns probably 12 tickets in that area. He pays $10 for each of these tickets. Rough times for season ticket holders, I tell ya!

I pay 80 a ticket in the Club level. I sold the Heat game for $600 for both. I could not get close to that with the lakers, so we went. I think it was because it was an 8:30 game.

It is going to happen, you will see! The Thunder is due for a bad game and a loss at home! :tongue:

Haha, I will be back after the game either to say congratulations good game if the Magic lost or Magic wins, great game! Haha!

Do you know how many games the Magic have won this year ? They'll be lucky not to get stomped by 30 by the Thunder.

Of course I know, I am a Magic fan so I should know how many games the Magic won! I am sure it will be a close game, they did play the Heat tough twice last week and lost by 1 point and 2 points so it could happen that the Magic will play tough against the Thunder and keep it close tonight

Yup! Congratulations guys, nice comeback for my Magic but I knew their defense would blow it at the end! See you all next Friday in Orlando!

At this point I'm more concerned with avoiding the Lakers. If the Lakers are the 8 seed then I'd rather be the 2 and face the Warriors or Rockets. The Lakers have started to turn the corner and they'll challenge whoever they play (if they're healthy) in the 1st round.

Looks like the Thunder have won the last nine against the Mavs so the ole rivalry is getting a little one sided...Should make it 10 especially if Dirk doesn't play

Bummer! Went to watch on DirecTV at 679-1 and found the game is blacked out!!!

Watching the game on tv down in Dallas. The Mav's tv announcers on Fox Sports are the worst homers I have heard! (I'm sure any Mav's fans in OKC are saying the same thing.)

I think enough people in OKC called and complained to DirectTV. The game was on blackout for the first half and by the start of the 3rd - Fox Sports was displaying the Dallas feed.

Channel 676 is the Dallas feed; ours is 679-1 (for HD display). For some reason DTV's 679 and 679-1 were SNAFU tonight. I hope they get things fixed by Tuesday night!

I did send a complaint to Thunder HQ via their web site; I hope they can get DTV to do better by them...

Yessir! I was at Henry Hudson's on Memorial exclusively to watch the game and it was blacked out. I called Fox and Hound and they couldn't get the game either. Anyone that has Cox Cable was good to go, but DirecTV customers....not so much.... We heard at half time that a lot'o'customers had complained big time and the game was on from halftime on. That's awesome! We (no I didn't call..but I'll still say "we") got the game on and that's all that matters!

Did anybody notice there were more loud cheers for Thunder players scoring than Dallas players? Lol. Its always fun when Thunder and Dallas meet, its like a rivalry between two cities, states, sports, etc.

Can we get Jeff Green back? Lol... Dude is ballin in Boston....

Funny that you mention that because it's mentioned in this:

FLCeltsFan's Celtic Thunder: Comments from the Other Side -Mavs 3/17 (http://flceltsfanscelticthunder.blogspot.com/2013/03/comments-from-other-side-mavs-317.html)

Which is always a good read, lol.

Nugs are on a 12-game win streak. Thunder gotta bring their A game tonight.

Heat pulled the W out in Boston. Streak is now 2nd best ever in NBA.

Lakers lost to PHX last night.

Can we get Jeff Green back? Lol... Dude is ballin in Boston....

You want him back just because he scored 43 points? He will go back to sucking the next game

Did you not see him doing about as good as anyone has this season in defending Lebron? Id take Jeff back.

If Jeff defended Lebron good then Boston would have won the game but Jeff did not so Jeff sucks at defending Lebron

My buddy has a man crush on Green like you. I'm sure Boston would love to get Perk back as well.

Hardly a crush. I mean I havent seen Green play but a few times all year. Has good shooting percentages, versatile and stuff but wouldnt want to undo the Perk/Green trade. We needed Perk more than Green. Its just funny that they guy we traded away might turn out to be the best Lebron defender. Something that we needed last year, this year and in the coming years.

I always thought Tony Allen would have been good for us. Guess he wasn't available.. Obviously I'm biased cause I'm an oSu fan, but not only does he play great defense, but he can score. Only place I've seen Brewer play defense is on the bench.

Nugs are good. But I gotta put some blame on Brooks for tonight. The stubborn lineup rotation destroyed us late 3rd into 4th.

Fisher has zero value in this matchup and was a huge liability.

Fisher brings ZERO value anymore. I watched over and over at the game last night him get torched on defense and throw up bricks. Id rather see lamb in there cause he can't do much worse, will get more experience, and is way more athletic.

Also still trying to figure out why Martin starts off hot but goes AWOL in the last half of the game.

And you are right about the rotation. Why westbrook didn't start the 4th gets all over me. Sometimes you have to toss your standard minutes aside and make better adjustments. When westbrook came back in for fisher the speed and urgency picked up, but it was too little too late.

On a side note, Jesse Jackson was sitting right in front of us last night. Not a fan of him but still cool to see

Brooks' misuse of the rotation is a huge liability for this team. It's well documented that Perk is often misused and overplayed when the matchups aren't there. The Finals was the best example. But giving Fisher significant minutes is just ridiculous. Reggie is our future and he's better in about every way. Ugh.

Over on DailyThunder, they rag all over Brooks on his rotations. I watched Fisher get torched, just too slow, but blame Brooks for having him out there. You'd think he'd learn by now it's okay to play him against the older slow teams, but not the younger faster more athletic ones.

He was playing Fisher as a SG, too. And if you watch the 'tape', Fisher's man scored on the other end almost every single time. He is a joke on D and we needed stops after that blown open run by the Nugs.


Keeping Russ on the bench to come in at traditional 8 minute mark was absurd. I like Brooks, but the stubborness of rotation made me want to shove that pom-pom they gave out at the game last night, down my throat. Why not have Reggie run the point and Russell be the SG, or even Lamb as others have said.

It just really pisses me off that Fisher is back on this team, and why the fans love him I have no idea. He came out and stated the only reason he is here is to win #6.... So he is just coat tail riding the Thunder to get himself another ring. Don't start with the "blah blah veteran leadership, blah blah blah". Yea that really helped last year, too. Brooks loves Fisher and that is a problem for everyone. When does someone step up and tell Brooks to alter his rotations and lineups based on the ever changing conditions???

I think that the NBA is so fluid when it comes to gauging talent levels and who may have it and who may still not have it based on our biased feelings toward those players when it comes to game time. I think when someone who doesn't analyze the NBA to a T views it and says, "oh man, I remember when Kendrick Perkins was a beast on the Celtics squad". They say 'I remember' and 'was' but they don't transition that into the present. So you've got Scotty, the head coach, who should know better but still plays guys like Perk & Fisher in rotations that they don't belong in. I get stuck with the past, without thinking of the future sometimes too. I love Derek, but I think it's time for him to move on after this season and look at an internal position with a team/franchise or just look at becoming a head coach in the college ranks.

D Fish will always be one of my favorites (even when he was with the Lakers).

The Thunder have some serious, fundamental issues that need to be fixed. Badly.

This years playoffs will be interesting. An early round exit is a real possibility.

Thunder get burned in MEM. Pretty much worstcase scenarios kept occurring into the final seconds where of course Bayless hits a 3 to force overtime. Then embarassing possessions ensue on OKC offense and we lose on a tip in.

Sums up the Thunder's momentum right now.



I just hope this means we peak into the playoffs.

I don't know how many people remember the Thunder's late season swoon during the regular season last year but they had 8 wins and 7 loses in the last 15 games before the playoffs.

I dont about you but once they hit the game winning shot, My head exploded I had some choice words that I dont say on this site. That loss hurt! ='( now Denver and Memphis thinking they all big and bad ='(
