I feel so bad for him right now. The man has never missed a game. This has to be tearing him up.

Maybe not the best choice of words... but, yeah.

[BoulderSooner]

we won't know until after surgery but it could be only 2-4 weeks

[skanaly]

This should be intersting, Reggie has been doing great, but there's going to have to be more contribution from Kmart and Thabo. It also wouldn't hurt to get the ball down low a couple times

[Praedura]

from the thunderfans facebook page:

"Scott Brooks today: Reggie Jackson will start for Russ, but others will see extra minutes too. "

Well, Reggie is no Russell. But as far as backup pg options go, he's a pretty darn good one.

Good luck Reggie. This will be your chance to shine.

[MonkeesFan]

Goodbye any chance of championship this year.

Thunder is not winning against the Heat in the Finals anyway

I really like the Knicks chances against the Heat in ECF should it come to that.

I don't know if I like the Knicks chances, I would be surprised if the Knicks win the series against the Heat

Epic game Saturday night. Those last two shots were unbelievably lucky.

Tonight we put the brooms to 'em.


It is great to see Liggins reappear. I really like watching that guy play with the intensity he has. And I think we saw a glimpse of what is to come with Martin now that Russell is no longer there to take shots. Martin is going to get WAY more touches and he will be able to play more like he did when he was with HOU.

Tonight's game is @ 8:30 on TNT.

Close game. Durant got us back in in the final minute or two. But it just wasn't enough.

Ibaka was MIA all night. And the missed lay in at the end pretty much summed up his night.



At least we get to close it out at home tomorrow. Late night once again 8:30pm tip. I am selling my tickets, cannot afford another late night this week.

Food courts tomorrow night at "Thunder Corner" (SE corner of Myriad Gardens).

From 5:30pm - 8:30pm (or about game time)

Myriad Gardens Brings Family Friendly Food Trucks to Thunder Corner for Playoffs

Oklahoma City – The southeast corner of the Myriad Botanical Gardens is affectionately
nicknamed Thunder Corner, and tomorrow starting at 5:30 and ending shortly after game time,
it will be home to food trucks, a hotdog cart and bistro tables and chairs for folks to enjoy a fun
dinner al fresco before we send Houston back home where they belong!

In addition to great eats, diners will enjoy knowing that a portion of the trucks’ proceeds benefits
the Myriad Gardens, which means eating chicken and waffles is a charitable thing to do!
The prices are reasonable, the food is fabulous and the setting is perfect.

Food trucks will be parked in front of the Gardens Restaurant space, on Robinson between
Sheridan and Reno. Tables will be set up adjacent to the restaurant area, to the south.

Participating vendors:

Wild Al’s Food Truck
Hawk’s Hotdogs

I really like the Knicks chances against the Heat in ECF should it come to that.

I'm not sure what evidence from this season would support an argument that the Knicks can even be seriously competitive. If Tyson Chandler was healthy and playing well then I could see the Knicks putting up a fight, but I don't think the Knicks are even in the top 7 or 8 teams in the NBA. I think a sweep is more likely than the series going 6.

Off topic, but gotta get it out there. Really OKC?.. Tomorrows shirts will be the exact ones the fans were wearing during the Game 5 vs the Lakers last year. That makes me feel some of type of way... :/

The world would truly be a better place without these sick minded people.

[MonkeesFan]

Thunder sucks, they can't win without Westbrook, yeah, they won without him but it is obvious they needed Westbrook, Thunder season MIGHT be over

[Dustin]

Thunder have checked out...

[adaniel]

I turned it off during the 3rd quarter. Love my team, but if they aren't going to show up, don't expect me to.

Its been a long time since they laid an egg like this. A complete team meltdown from the coach down. What happened?

[venture]

Houston...first team to win series after being down 0-3?

[Just the facts]

Houston...first team to win series after being down 0-3?

That is a definite possibility. I guess it turns out Westbrook IS the best player on the team because the wheels have come off the Thunderwagon without him. They simply are not doing anything that resembles a team. It is just 5 guys on the court wearing the same uniform. If Houston wins game 6 there is no doubt in my mind they win game 7 as well.

Here is the thing - OKC cannot out score the Rockets by trying to match them in 3pt attempts. If the Thunder attempt one more 3pt shot in the next two game we will lose. Every shot needs to be at the rim. And would it kill the Thunder to try a fast break.

[Anonymous.]

This whole Durant run the point and pass to the open guard thing is a losing formula when everyone is missing wide open.

Tonight was a definite wake up. Everything they've been practicing has been Durant finds the open guy since he's doubled. But our shooters are choking. Martin mustve watched tape from Harden's Finals appearance. Because he is GONE.

I think we could win the series still, but if we struggle against the #8, then next round is even more of an eye-roll.

[Dustin]

Houston...first team to win series after being down 0-3?

Thunder will pull through... They'll pull through... I think they'll pull through... If I keep telling myself that, it will happen!

[betts]

Chicago lost to Philly last year after losing Rose. It's hard to bounce back from that kind of blow.

[MonkeesFan]

Houston...first team to win series after being down 0-3?

Nope Boston will do it against the Knicks

[OKCisOK4me]

Westbrook IS the Thunder. Funny that KD is being outshined by a player that is injured.

I was a little pissed at Westbrook for staying up in the suite in his lil blue Thunder fan t-shirt. Homie shoulda been down on the sideline with his teammates.

Can't wait for the 13-14 NBA season cause this one is over for us.

PS...if it weren't for the naysayers...there would be no winners to disprove us.

Disprove me...
