Oklahoma City Thunder 107 - Atlanta Hawks 94

Atlanta Hawks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder - Box Score - December 10, 2015 - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400828218)

In spite of all of our hand wringing (some of which is understandable), the Thunder currently have the 4th best record in the league.

I've got the Sunday game against the Utah Jazz for sale. They are in section 219 which is club level. Row F seats 13 and 12. This game is at 6 pm this coming Sunday the 13th. These are real good seats.

I'll sell for face value of 165.00 total for both seats. Also comes with a parking pass in the Santa Fe garage.

PM me if interested. They are starting to play some good ball.

I went to the game tonight in Salt Lake City. It's still really cool to just see so many OKC fans at any road game. I chatted it up with a few and it's always great to talk with some fellow Okies. I also saw a number of OU fans at the game too.

No reason they should like Kanter. If anything, that's what made the match up interesting for me.

weird that OKC doesn't play Golden State until Feb. 6th.

Jazz Meltdown...


•Just once this season I’d like to beat OKC, by 93 points

•Nobody wants to see your ugly tat, KD.
•I know OKC is a very good team
•This is f***ing pathetic.
•welp…
•oh god
•I’m actually hoping the Jazz DON’T score in OT. This is pathetic and they should be reminded of how pathetic it is every damn night FOREVER


WTF happened (video) kept me laughing for 5 minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder - Box Score - December 16, 2015 - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400828265)

Big game tonight, but it just feels like OKC is really churning now. I think if we win tonight - the league is officially on notice.

^You're wrong. They're the same old thunder. If you'd just look a couple pages back you'd know that. ;)

Really liked Donovan last night during 4th qtr and in press conf. Was still coaching til end of game and seems to be finding a little bit more confidence each game. Russ is 2nd and KD 3rd in overall NBA eff rating behind Curry.

Like to bet on Thunder? 4 straight games have gone UNDER the total and 10 of last 11.

Very interesting read here from ESPN / Brian W related to LJ-Cavs and KD- OKC

NBA - How Cleveland Cavaliers' all-in push shaped Oklahoma City Thunder's plan for Kevin Durant (http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/14383023/nba-how-cleveland-cavaliers-all-push-shaped-oklahoma-city-thunder-plan-kevin-durant)

It was inevitable that Cleveland would win. Cleveland is looking like they'd sweep Golden State in the Finals. How delusional Cleveland fans are. So in June will people be burning Durant Thunder jerseys outside the arena?

That was Jason Day's wife who LJ crushed...wow.

Damn, that was a brutal crushing for that chick. All of his weight was on her it appeared.

OKC barely loses to another top east team. I will take that. A-Mo did not travel for personal reasons.

If the Thunder had a decent bench, they maybe could have pulled it out.

I dislike the loss but I am more concerned about Jason Day's wife. Lebron is big and was moving hard.

If the Thunder had a decent bench, they maybe could have pulled it out.

Dion was pretty bad, showed a sign of life at one point - but it was a fluke.

A-Mo is really important coming off our bench, especially with DJ struggling. Not having him was huge.

Why should they ? Do you know something the rest of us don't ?

First of all, let's not assume that Durant will be leaving. If he does, let's cherish the moments we have with him.

Reason Durant is not leaving; he'll have to start from scratch with a new team. Any franchise that were to pick up Durant would have to clear some salary CAP space to bring him on board; that would mean that some key players would have to be sacrificed to get Kevin's services.

His best bet is to stay in OKC where Billy Donovan will build a championship caliber team. As a Scott Brooks fan, I can see where Billy Donovan has more potential to take the Thunder to the next level. Brook's coaching became stagnant; players took him for granted, whereas Donovan has more creativity. Opponents could predict where the ball was going to go; Westbrook's body language told it all last season. There didn't seem to be any new strategy following a Brook's time-out.

The runs the Thunder faced and almost overcame last night were pretty amazing.

How did the Thunder stay so close to the Cavs? | News OK (http://newsok.com/how-did-the-thunder-stay-so-close-to-the-cavs/article/5467603?custom_click=rss&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter)

I can't believe the Thunder are paying actual money for Kyle Singler to be on their team. Also, this shouldn't be a moral victory. Yes, it was the second night of a back-to-back but Cleveland was missing like 3 of their players including their starting point guard.

I'll post a quote from Daily Thunder here: "OKC is 11-2 against teams below .500 and now 6-7 against teams above .500. For a frame of reference, the San Antonio Spurs are 14-2 against teams below .500 and 8-3 against teams above .500. The Los Angeles Clippers are 11-4 against teams below .500 and 5-6 against teams above .500."

The Thunder aren't that much better than the Los Angeles Clippers right now. Gross.

' The Thunder aren't that much better than the Los Angeles Clippers right now.'

You really can't say this by comparing records. When KD was sidelined we lost 3 games by 4 points or less.

With KD, we're a lot better team, so it's easy to say better than the Clippers, IMO.

What a laugher of a game! Thunder up 20 after 1 qtr and Kobe bails an hour before game time. I took a very early exit!

I feel slightly bad that I know people bought tickets to see him, and he wasn't playing, and now I'm over it.

^The KD move on Randle toward end of the first quarter was worth price of admission! That will be on his all time highlight reel.

I was over it the moment my uppers sold for 8x face and lowers sold for hundreds of dollars over what I paid for them. I just hope whoever bought them was wearing Lakers #24 jerseys while they sat in my seats.

Have any seats for the GS game in Feb?

I sold my Lakers in club level to a man from Kansas City. I feel bad for the fact he wanted his son to see #24. I'm considering contacting him for the game on April 11, but this time I'd sell to him for face value. He paid me 3X for the seats to see a beat down.

That's probably one that I will actually be going to.

That's the beauty of StubHub. You never see or meet the people or their kids. :)

Of all things I sold on Craigslist. Using paypal, it worked out well. We did the money and eticket transfer, then I mailed him the hard copies and parking pass. He even contacted us when he got to my seats, miracles do happen !

Setting up to be a LATE night watching this Clippers game. Tied with about 8 left in third (at 11 PM). And it just changed seasons - winter is officially here!

What a wild finish in LA!!! WOW. That game had a playoff feel. Intense! Great WIN.

Biggest win of the year and a game they really needed to win.

It was a great win, but wow was that a sloppy, poorly played game. I actually thought both teams played poorly, but the ending was scintillating and a win is a win.

Poor L. A.


The NBA on Tuesday ruled that Chris Paul should have gotten an and-1 free throw on the lay-up with 12 seconds left that put the Clippers ahead by one point over the Thunder on Monday night. Then, the NBA says Kevin Durant should never have gotten the chance to take what proved to be the game-winner over Luc Mbah a Moute because Serge Ibaka set an illegal screen to free Durant to get the inbounds pass in the first place. Those two rulings made correctly likely change the outcome of the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxZgeW04bdU

Notice the NBA didn't address Lance Stephenson ripping Durant's arm off when he was attempting to get free to accept that pass (went thru Westbrook's hands) that C. Paul took to the basket; all of this occurred on that same play.

Ex-Thunder center Cole Aldridge replaced Paul Pierce (PP) in the lineup for the L.A. Clippers.

The thrill of victory...


•cole! we will get our wish tonight!
•dude just got us two points with hustle
•Cole > KD
•King Cole!!!!
•dear lawd we may have a backup 5

•I knew we were losing this game.
•This disgusts me.
•Can’t beat elite teams because we aren’t one.
•westbrook and durant are killers
•I hate basketball sometimes.




...and the agony of defeat.

Calls in the last 10 seconds never happen. I was surprised Wade got one when we played the Heat.

Well, the Thunder certainly showed tonight that their recent 40 point win over the Lakers was not a fluke with a 120 - 85 win tonight in LA. Now they are at home for the next 4 games.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Los Angeles Lakers - Box Score - December 23, 2015 - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400828322)

If we could play the Lakers 30 more times, I would be okay with that.

Thunder exposed by a good team again. Really disappointed by them this year. Something has to change. The bench is 17 different kinds of awful.

Presti really hurt the team by his acquisitions this past summer. The contracts make it difficult to make any significant trades. What awful timing with Durant's contract expiring.

Thunder 6-8 v East (4-4 home) and 14-2 v West (9-0 at home).

With this game in particular. Serge/Adams were the big disappointment. Kanter/Morrow did well.

Attendance in light of tonight's weather will be interesting. Yikes.

I got over face for both of my pair, and didn't list until yesterday, when the forecast was well known. Hope that's a good sign. Stands look pretty full on TV.

Defense gives up 61 in first half (40 in paint)...uugh.

Box Score has some inconsistencies with scoring; especially Cameron Payne's total points.

Denver got a sampling of OKC's House of Payne...

Defense gives up 61 in first half (40 in paint)...uugh.

We got wrecked on the boards. So many offensive rebounds! I saw some gaps in the stands. Floor looked filled though.

Good second half! Nice to see KD and RW with all the assists. Those who braved the weather got to see a good game.

I’m dreading the Jameer vs Westbrook matchup


Please no 3rd quarter collapse Nuggets

while you’re at it, please pray for peace in the middle east

how the hell is that possible? 8 is the largest halftime lead we’ve ever had at okc

Gotta play disciplined. We can win this.

As expected, KD and Russ taking over this quarter.

what happened to all that motion we had in the 2nd?

OKC doing what you do against Denver.

WE SCORED!!!

we kinda scored

Quarter collapse starting….

Why was durant wide open?

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder - Box Score - December 29, 2015 - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400828359)

^Track meet! Great contribution by Cam Payne. Nice spark to the 2nd group. If Thunder is anything they are explosive even on an off night for KD. Good fun game to watch!

I hope we realize what a special player we have the pleasure to watch in OKC:

Russell Westbrook scored 36 points and handed out 12 assists in the Thunder's win over the Suns. Westbrook finished calendar year 2015 with 2216 points, 604 rebounds and 748 assists. The only other player in NBA history who had at least 2200 points, 600 rebounds and 700 assists in one calendar year is Oscar Robertson, who did it in 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1965.

Westbrook also added five steals to his 36 points and 12 assists becoming only the sixth player since 1973-74, the first season the NBA began recording steals for individual players, to have reached those levels in all three categories in one game, joining Nate Archibald, Slick Watts, Kevin Johnson, Baron Davis and Chris Paul.
