Thunder in the month of March

[earlywinegareth]

8-1!!!

Awesome performance in south beach tonite. Heat could learn a thing or 2 from our boys in the categories of poise and teamwork. Loved the win tonite!!!

[Thunder]

And I thought this was about me. :-P

The team is doing good. I confess, I have not watch a single of their games (except for the playoffs against the Lakers), cuz I just don't watch basketball. Still, they're our team and one to be proud of. :-)

[earlywinegareth]

Well, Thunda, I hope you are having as good a month as Our Boyz. I got so caught up in the game tonite, I had to stand on my front porch and watch thru the window like I do when OU plays Tejas. They took care of serious bidnezz in south Fla.

The Thunder are getting on a roll at just the right time. They've won five in a row including the last 3 on the road and now have a 6 game home stretch. They need to run the table at home because of a bear of a schedule to end. They will have 6 road games and will have 3 against the Lakers and 2 against Denver after the home games. If things fall right, they are within striking distance of Dallas and LA for 2nd place in the West. There was a nice article about the Thunder today at espn.com.

Should only get better going into the playoffs with Perkins getting back into the groove

Feels weird to say this but it will be a huge disappointment if they don't at least make it to the 2nd round this time

I thought the Thunder looked real good last night but they were playing the real Heat, not the media created Heat. That team is fading fast and have lost to half the team with .500 records they have played. The Philadelphia win that started the current streak was a much better win. The good news is, if they keep playing this way there is a good chance they won't lose again this year. They only play 3 teams above .500 for the rest of the season and their next 6 games are at home.

Isn't it pretty rare to have that long of a homestand in the NBA?

Yes it is, but we play 6 of the last 9 on the road.

You were outside lightin' one up weren't ya?! That's why I went out to watch the game. It was gonna be too intense and it was awesome!

We only play the Lakers once more this season and that is in LA. The schedule just says Los Angeles, but you forgot that the Clippers play at the Staples Center too. We have two games against the Clippers left. One here one there. Those two are winnable.

Lol! Yep, that and i got kicked out of the house for "excessive zeal". It was fun. It seemed to me our boyz had that look in their eye that says they were gonna come out with a W. I love that.

You're absolutely right. I just glanced at the schedule and it said Los Angeles. Here is another interesting recent evaluation of the Thunder:

Give the new guyz more time to become well integrated...by playoff time we are going to be serious threats to win the West.

We're certainly within striking distance now of moving up to 2nd in the West standings before the playoffs. Either 2nd or 3rd is basically the same though when it comes to playoff possibilities.

The Thunder are getting on a roll at just the right time.

Yes, they are! The Heat were on a roll, too, but our "roll" rolled right over the Heat's roll. LOL This Thunder team is good! The next year or two will determine exactly how good they are.

[Thunder]

Just heard a rumor that our team got a spot in the Playoffs. Hopefully we will get more home games during that.

Those guys over there with the Lakers once talked trash about OKC and the team will be choking again when they see us back in the Playoffs.

[metro]

Its not a rumor, it's fact.

[theparkman81]

Congratulations Thunder for clinching a playoff birth last night, watch the game on tv, it was a very good game, I hope that we go far in the playoffs this year.

Maybe I missed the trash talking from the Lakers. What are you referring to? I just saw an interview with Kobe Bryant in which he was extremely complementary about some of our players.

They laughed about OKC getting a team blah blah blah.

Do you have a link for that? I still never heard it.

It was last year onward toward when we were getting a team. No one can ever forget.

I guess I forgot. I'm not trying to be difficult and you may be right. I would just like some evidence that we had been dissed by the Lakers.

Its somewhere buried on this site.

Could be, but I'm not going to be concerned about that unless I see something more concrete. We were bitter enemies with Japan at one time and things change. And as I said, the Lakers (Kobe) seem to be giving us a lot of respect now.

Yeah, they are afraid of us now. :-)
