Good win. A road win is a road win. I agree with the above statement ^^Nets Fans = classy move!

.Kudos to the Brooklyn Nets fans; the most classiest fans in the NBA.

I didn't get to see the game... What did the fans do?

Cheered for Russell, whenever he went to the free throw line, they chanted M V P.

They also gave him a standing ovation when he got the triple double.

The Nets fans knew he had a triple double before Brian Davis did ;-)

Ahhhh... That's pretty great coming from a fan base in a city that isn't known for being that friendly... Or at least the television/movie sterotype of Brooklynites isn't always pertrayed that way.... Never been there myself to see.

If Russ keeps playing the game like he has the last couple of games this team has a good chance to make some noise. Putting Taj in the starting lineup has transformed this team. With a healthy starting lineup of Westbrook-Olidipo-Adams-Taj-Roberson they can play with just about any team they face. Taj is such a HUGE upgrade over Sabonis it changes the team so much for the better it appears. And Sabonis is benefiting from playing more against backup players that he can compete with.

Thank you for sharing this, I have a friend who says he doesn't even belong on the All Defense team.

Well, there's a debate to be had about 1st team defense, but the point that Roberson is an elite defender is pretty hard to refute. He's really good.

Sure, but 2nd team at least I'd say

Big game tonight in Toronto. Memphis is only a 1/2 game back from us now... the race to the end of the season is going to be fun to watch.

Thunder appear to be rounding into form and playing some of the best ball of the season. Lets hope this continues and if it does, they will be a hard out for any team.

Oklahoma City Thunder 123 - Toronto Raptors 102



Box score: http://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400900410

Russell Westbrook recorded his 34th triple-double (24 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists).

One of the best games we've played all year, in my opinion. We play up to our competition, but if we can play at this level consistently we are going to put up a good fight in the playoffs. With Clippers and Jazz both losing last night, we're only 0.5 and 3.5 games back, respectively. We arguably have the easiest schedule out of the 3 teams. The odds are slim, but if we could jump all the way up to 4 it would be a great boost to our playoff run.

We own the tie breaker with Utah.

Yep. Split series with Clippers and lead Grizzlies 2-1 with one away game remaining.

We currently have a 1 game lead on the Clippers against Western Conference competition which would be the tie-breaker between LAC and OKC. If we lose to MEM, then they would have both tie-breakers against us.

It would be a wonderful thing to blow out the warriors.

Yikes! When this team loses...they lose big. What a dud tonight.

Warriors are in the Thunder's heads. Whole team looks like a D league against them. For some reason, when Klay is shooting lights out against us (which is always) we reverse psychology him by leaving him wide open.

I thought that kind of weird myself. Pick your poison? With Draymond or Zaza usually holding the ball it allows the guards to run free and it's either Steph or Klay that's going to shoot it, and they think it's better for Klay?

There was a period in the 3rd I think where they were blatantly going to Klay and he was still not guarded well. The majority didn't go in though.

After last night we're 2.5 back from 4th and tied with Memphis (we have the tie breaker with 1 game remaining against them) for 7th. GSW is going to be an overly emotional game for us, we just need to pray that we end up on the other side of the bracket as them.

We win when the ball goes in the hoop. 54% free throw shooting won't get it done. We are one of the 2 worst free throw shooting teams in the league.

Abrines going 0-7 on wide open threes won't get it done either. McBuckets going 0-2 and zero points does not help.

When we can't shoot from outside, they collapse the paint and that really hurts our chances.

Just need to shoot the ball better.

Oklahoma City Thunder 112 - Philadelphia 76ers 97



Box score: http://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400900457


Russell Westbrook recorded his 35th triple double (18 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists).

2.5 games back from the Jazz and 1.5 games back from the Clippers.

Looking at schedules, we have the easiest one. Then the Clippers have the next easiest. Jazz by far have the toughest remaining schedule.

With that being said, it should play out with OKC getting the 5 seed, with an outside shot @ the 4 if the Clippers really choke.

Eleven games left on the schedule for this season.

Westbrook recorded his 35th triple-double; he needs 6 to tie & 7 to break Oscar Robertson's 41 triple doubles in a single season (61-62 season).

That was a fun game to attend. Russ was amazing.

One of those stand-out MVP performances. Too bad that wasn't on national television.

The defense @ the end was the energy we needed all game.

Another great game!! WESTBROOK MVP!!!

Thunder clinch a playoff spot.

The MVP hype train is swinging full Bestbrook right now.

Dude is just ridiculous.

Good to see OKC clinch. I haven't been following for the past month or so, but will be again over the next couple weeks. And Westbrook better get that MVP.

Billy Donovan has done an outstanding job with positioning players to complement one another as he goes deep into the lineup. Any team that loses a franchise player like Durant as we did would have a difficult time getting his team back into the mix.

Westbrook deserves the credit with his banner year (Triple-double average); this proves that he's not a ball hog as he leads the league in points averaged, his rebounds & assists stats are off the charts.

Well... sh*t

Thunder as a 6th seed is essentially set in stone now.

Thought they could make a push, but losses to bad teams hurt.

I just got to St Louis and checked the NBA app. I couldn't believe my eyes. Losses like this hurt.

I like the six seed, I think we can beat the Rockets and I would rather take our chances with the Spurs in the second round than the Warriors

He wasn't perfect, but this loss is on everyone not named Westbrook, losses like this are what may very well keep the MVP out of his reach. Meanwhile, the Rockets can play without a couple of starters, including Hardin, and are still crushing the Suns on the road. Hardin's having a great season, but it's too bad this individual award is so team success dependent. Hardin has WAYYYYY more to work with. It will be an interesting off-season to see what moves we make. The big contract for Adam's is worrisome to me, he has played no where near worthy of that this year. Vent over :-)

He is still on rookie scale this year, the big contract is next year and he has a long way to go to be worth that.

I actually think the Thunder match up best with the Spurs, Jazz, and Clippers (in that order). I don't like the Houston match up. I just think they have too much offensive talent. Having said that, maybe in the playoffs the Thunder can step up the defensive intensity, play tighter on their shooters, and force them out of their 3s and lay-ups game. The Thunder will be underdogs against any team in the 1st round so it'll be tough regardless.

Just happy we made the playoffs after the Durant fiasco. That and it has been awesome to watch Westbrook have one of the best seasons ever. Next interesting stop for me will be what they do in the offseason not the playoffs.

On Wednesday, Russell Westbrook will come face-to-face with the man he's been chasing all season.
Oscar Robertson landed in Oklahoma City on Tuesday night and is expected to attend the Thunder's season-finale at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Wednesday. Westbrook didn't play in Tuesday's 100-98 win against Minnesota, but is expected to play in the Thunder's final home game before headed to Houston for the first round of the NBA playoffs.

playoff schedule has been announced

we get a "8:30" tip off, which we all know is more like a 8:45 tip, at least its on a Friday night.

Schedule worked perfect for me... I was afraid we would get a Saturday game and I'll be in Enid judging the Robert's Ranch Red Dirt Cookoff that day.... so Friday/Sunday worked perfect so I didn't have to give up my tickets!
