OKC in the playoffs?? Am I dreaming??

The Thunder SHOULD be content with making the playoffs! Name one person on this forum, in OKC, or in the national media, ANYBODY that would have thought OKC would even be in the 8th seed at the end of this season (and be completely honest)... I'm probably the biggest Thunder fan and follow them so close it's sick sometimes, and even I didn't think they would be in the playoffs come early April. Everyone needs to remember this team is still VERY VERY young and STILL lack experience. For ANY team in ANY sport to be successful in playoffs/post season, you must first have experience.. track record proves that..

The game last night was against Portland. It determined the final seeding (7 or 8) for OKC. The Thunder lost so we get the 8th seed and play the Lakers in the first round. The game against Memphis doesn't mean anything so expect a Thunder loss.

As for playing the Lakers in the first round, I think we have a chance to win that series. If any playoff team is playing worse than the Thunder, it is the Lakers. The only reason the Lakers clinched first place so early is that they played so many of their first games at home (22 of their first 26 games). Once they went on the road they started losing and barley held on to the number 1 spot.

Regardless of what happens with the Memphis game we are going to be the 8th seed, which plays the Lakers.

The loss to Salt Lake City - and how it happened, destroyed our momentum and energy.

I just started a thread for the party so others will see it.. Should be fun! I personally hope there's alcoholic beverages!

Now I need to find a Thunder car flag...yeah, I'll fly it as long as we're in the playoffs.

Tonight at the game they gave out car flags. They also announced to tell everyone who was not at the game to go to Homeland wearing something Thunder and they will give you a free car flag. My job here is done.
