Anyone watching on TV
Or is everybody at the Ford Center tonight?
So far pre-game on KSBI on DirecTV is in Standard Def, bleh, I can tolerate that as long as the game is HD. Its not even listed on the guide at all, so its a way and see sort of thing.

I guess I can’t watch it. On channel 3 here in tulsa it’s showing Cowboy Football Roundup. This sucks
Ugh!
Cox so Sucks. That’s why I dropped them. DirecTV at least has KSBI but not HD :-(
We need a super powerful Digital Antenna I guess to watch this game in HD.

Yeah they do. I tried to find somewhere to stream online but I’m having a hard time having them come up. I give up lol.
Sucks man, you can always click that WWLS icon at the top to listen to the game. After just listening to the first game though, I dunno, I just think it sucks not being able to see the game. I guess its better than nothing.

love what you do w/ the graphics!
This game isn’t on in Phx so I don’t expect it will garner much interest on the Suns side of the house…I’ll look for your recap tomorrow to see if Durant’s +/- was up to par

Thunder out to a flying start...
11-0 with 8:48 remaining.
Defense spurred 6 of the 8 points in the first minute, and then Jeff Green just put in 3 free throws to take it to 11-0.
The Suns look a little sloppy out there offensively so far.

Durant playing some D
The Suns ran off an inbound catching the Thunder off guard, everyone but KD who was there with the block at the other end. Nice hustle.

I wonder

I think that article legitimately bothered him.

End of the 1st Quarter
Oklahoma City Thunder 29, Phoenix Suns 22
The Thunder came out flying defensively and score 8 of their 29 1st quarter points withing the very first minute of the ballgame. Subtract those first 8 points and its been relatively even since, at least on the scoreboard (21-22).
The lead really dwindled when the Thunder starters left the court and a lot of the reserves took the court. Guys like Kevin Ollie, Serge Ibaka, and DJ White. Ibaka has looked ferocious defensively at times despite this group giving up a lot of the lead.

although that might be his first credited block of the night, I think he’s had about 4 blocks in some form or another that ended up not getting on the statsheet for one reason or another.

Do you think
looking at him, he can be a legit defensive post force?
by ElectricPencils on Oct 12, 2009 7:47 PM CDT up reply actions
So far,
I tend to describe him as a “disruptor” in the post. I don’t know how well he defend a big center backing him down or something like that, but he will fly across the screen and block a shot he had no business blocking, which is a GREAT thing.

But it looks like quite a bit on TV. Pretty full, actually Really FULL on the TV side, its hard to know how the rest of the arena looks but they said they had a great crowd on hand tonight.

31-24
With about 8 minutes to go in the half now. Both teams struggling to get a bucket here in the 2nd. Still mostly reserves on the court for both teams.

I wonder if they have used a rotation like this...
in the previous two games, or if this is something that was for the Suns only since they like to run and gun.

LOL
Not gonna happen. Green is hustling all over the court and has the past two games, playing really hard, and the announcers were talking about how much of a leadership role he’s taken on. His shots just aren’t falling right now. 2-7 tonight, 0-2 behind the arc, and 3-5 at the line. He does have THREE steals though to go with a couple boards, assists, and 7 points.

Etan Thomas and Serge Ibaka
were on the court with the Holy Trinity and they pulled the lead back out to 10 before Ibaka took another foul and had to sit.

End of the 1st half
Oklahoma City Thunder, 53, Phoenix Suns 47
All in all a pretty half for the Thunder. 14 points scored off 13 Phoenix Turnovers isn’t bad at all. The Thunder are hustling all over the court, there is no doubt about that.

Westbrooke it going to be a star.
8 points, 7 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 turnovers. F16 freakin minutes.
Yeah
He’s actually IMPROVING upon his previous two performances this pre-season, and those were STELLAR outtings. If he’s this good before he’s even starting year two, imagine 3 years down the road.

Jeff Green is redeeming himself offensively here in the 2nd half.
He hit 2 three pointers here already in the first half of the third. (Durant has 2 3’s now in this quarter as well)

Thunder reserves
blew the big lead again. The first two pre-season losses came because the reserves blew a lead (although MUCH smaller).

Damn, Harden isn’t looking like a top three pick. He’s not even looking like first round pick. Taylor Griffin has been more impressive.
Give him time.
Guard is a difficult position to come right in and be amazing. RW0 looked sloppy early last season as well. The potential is there, give him time. Thabo played great tonight so there really is no hurry to rush him in the starting lineup this season.
