OKC Thunder 2013 - 2014

[Mel]

Looks like Russ is getting his mojo back.

[OKCDrummer77]

Russell. Freakin'. Westbrook.

If these two teams meet in the Playoffs, I will be dead. No way I survive 4-7 games like this.

[Dustin]

Cold-blooded killa

[PiePie]

It is pretty hilarious it went the exact same way as the last Warriors-Thunder game except the Warriors did not hit the game winning buzzer beat shot this time

[Mel]

This was an intense game. Edge of the seat the last 2 minutes.

[soonerguru]

Love Russell!

[Laramie]

Unbelievable! Westbrook's Super Dagger


If you left this game early; you got just what you deserve...

[Praedura]

Russell!!! Oh my!!!

Let's have another look at that unbelievable play:


Russell leaps high into the air for the rebound




He bats the ball away...




Sefolosha makes a great leaping, behind-the-back "blind" save to keep the ball inbounds




Russell stretches out to catch the ball tossed by Thabo




After securing the ball and finding his spot behind the 3-point line, Russ takes a shot




And here we go.........

[Laramie]

Thunder and Warriors are not strangers to the dagger exchange:




Jeff Green's buzzer beater vs. Warriors (January 22, 2009).

Warriors’ Andre Iguodala hits buzzer-beater to defeat Thunder

Tonight is the chip shot of this week's back to back.

Kings tonight, Trailblazers tomorrow. Trailblazers beat Pacers last night. Giving Pacers their 2nd loss of the season.

Portland seems to be stepping up against the big names so far this season. I am sure OKC will be no different. We gotta come out big tomorrow. Look to see Russ/KD get rest tonight if we are ahead, late.

[Richard at Remax]

Ill be at the game Friday in New Orleans. Ill try to give them some extra encouragement

[BoulderSooner]

I will be at the game tonight in Sacramento Go thunder

[ljbab728]

8 wins in a row now for the Thunder going into a big early season showdown Wednesday night against Portland.
It's interesting now that the Western Conference currently has 10 teams over 500 and the Eastern Conference has 2.

[OKCisOK4me]

Western Conference either has better team chemistries resulting in more wins or the WC teams haven't hit the toughest parts of their schedules yet...

The Western Conference has pretty much been better since 1999. This year it's just getting ridiculous. There only appear to be two teams in the East that would make the playoffs in the West. That's insane, terrible for the NBA, and a huge advantage for Miami and Indiana.

[OKCisOK4me]

I don't disagree with what you say...

[betts]

It's never a guaranteed chip shot, even with missing key players like Demarcus Cousins. A couple of our worst losses last year were to teams I assumed we'd beat.

Thread derail warning: The same is true of the NHL. If playoffs were held, the Eastern conference doesn't even have a single team that could make it into the Western conference's playoffs. Although the NBA and NFL conferences aren't all THAT geographic, lately, the NFC is considered to be much superior to the AFC (and some of the divisions are a VERY small pond to be a big fish in). I find the disparity odd and wonder about the vaguely geographic relationship.

So anywaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...the guys are gonna have to play their butts off tonight to be victorious. No lapse in the 4th quarter. Heck no lapse in any quarter. They'll play to the level of their competition if not better! Gonna be a toughy though!

Since the last second loss at Golden State, we have won handily @Milwaukee, a squeaker versus Denver, owned the Clippers and the Jazz, beat SA, Golden State (last second OT shot by RW), won a good game against Minnesota and another squeaker versus Sactown. They have a combined W-L of 69-74. If you take out the three worst teams (Milwaukee, Utah and Sacramento), you get a combined W-L of 58-33. We have played some really good teamson this stretch and the schedule isn't going to let up until really the beginning of the year. We play Portland, New Orleans, Indiana, Atlanta and Memphis in one week, then LAL, Orlando and Denver the next week then Chicago and San Antonio. We might get a little bit of a break around X-mas when we play Toronto, the Knicks and Charlotte all within a week but then we play Houston and Portland to end the year.

A bit off topic, but what the hell is going on in NYC? The Knicks and Nets have two of the worst records in the NBA and have the two largest team payrolls this year. Is it coaching? Brooklyn is bringing on some new (old) people so is just trying to find the right fit for them?

They have created the perfect recipe for an NBA delicacy known as a KNICK-NET:

Ingredients: Marquee name players, support personnel

Mix together in one bowl too many marquee name players who are surrounded by a few support personnel; work the support personnel in until they get tired of doing all the hustle; set aside these prima donna's pose-in-action (avoid of breaking their polished nails) taking their most glorified money ball simultaneously throwing up a Baltic brick.--True recipe for disaster.

Well it was time. Portland ends OKC's winning streak tonight.

LaMarcus Aldridge is an absolute freak.
