Game 49 Preview Quickie: Oklahoma City at Golden State

This also counts as an open thread, so feel free to post your thoughts during the game here.

Time: 9:30 PM Central Standard Time

Place: Oracle Arena, Oakland, California

TV: Fox Sports Net Oklahoma, Comcast Sports Net Bay Area

Radio: WWLS The Sports Animal (98.1)

Enemy Blog(s): Golden State Of Mind

Previous Meeting(s): Dec. 7thJan. 31st

Backstory: Not much has changed since we last saw the Warriors. They're still losing lots of games, and they still don't stand much of a chance of beating the Thunder. Last time, they actually contended with the Thunder late into the game after a third quarter collapse, but in the end, a foolish three taken by Monta Ellis and solid defense pulled through for the Thunder. Since this game is at the home of the Warriors, the Thunder might actually have a problem, but I just don't see the Warriors pulling this one out.

If you want to see my analysis of the matchups, click here. I'm doing a quickie on this one because we saw the Warriors last less than a week ago, and there's absolutely no reason to give the same analysis on the same matchups again.

Prediction: Oklahoma City 110, Golden State 105

How do you think the game will go? Vote in the Poll!

And, again, feel free to drop any comments you might have during, before, or after the game below. I'll be by to drop my thoughts as well. Go Thunder WARRIORS!

Go Thunder!

I have a feeling this will be a close one for some reason. So here’s hoping the Thunder blow them out of the water!

Yeah, there'll be some tumult in the fourth....

But, by last minute, I think the game will be well in hand, unfortunately.

It can’t be too much worse than the quality I’m getting from League Pass on cable right now, haha.

by belt on Feb 6, 2010 10:18 PM CST up reply actions  

1st quarter

As bad as the Thunder might have shot and defended they are still only down by 1. I guess that can be a good sign.

by belt on Feb 6, 2010 10:09 PM CST reply actions  

Harden is flourishing in this type of game.

Westbrook

He’s wrecking these guys right now.

by belt on Feb 6, 2010 10:35 PM CST reply actions  

Durant

not shooting very good tonight

Loud City via Far East

by rickpidero on Feb 6, 2010 10:37 PM CST reply actions  

No he's not

He’s gonna need to turn that around if the Thunder want to lock this game up.

by belt on Feb 6, 2010 10:39 PM CST up reply actions  

the warriors...

love TOs

Loud City via Far East

by rickpidero on Feb 6, 2010 10:38 PM CST reply actions  

I love Corporate Responsibility!

Devon Energy needs a new commercial.

And a great game so far. If the Thunder stop playing the Warriors game and actually force the Warriors to, you know, run a half court offense, they’ll win easily. If the Warriors keep up the fast break ball and prevent the ball from going in the lane, they should be able to compete.

have to listen to Cheryl Miller right now? she is awful, trying waaaaaaaaaaaay to hard.

Loud City via Far East

by rickpidero on Feb 6, 2010 10:42 PM CST reply actions  

Yes

And I can’t stand her! Every halftime on League Pass I have to listen to her trying to scream over the other guys and in general adding nothing to the broadcast.

by belt on Feb 6, 2010 10:45 PM CST up reply actions  

No, that's Elissa Walker-Campbell

by Zorgon on Feb 6, 2010 10:48 PM CST up reply actions  

Nope, she’s not associated with the Thunder just a former WNBA player that does the halftime show that they roll for Leaguepass.

by belt on Feb 6, 2010 10:48 PM CST up reply actions  

Elissa

Bothers me though. She reminds me of a grade school teacher. lol

by Kidder on Feb 6, 2010 10:51 PM CST up reply actions  

NBATV used to be a awesome network, and it focused on basketball analysis

But then a large portion of it got bought out by ABC, and it just became like a D-League of TNT’s halftime broadcasts. Lots of laughing, it’s not funny, and very little of worth is said. I used to have NBATV constantly on in the background, and I watched NBATV Daily (I don’t know what they call the recap show now) every night. Now, I avoid the network most of the time. Andre Aldridge was awesome, and so was Fred Carter. They and some of the old crowd are still on air on occasion, but they got demoted behind a bunch of talking heads and old basketball players who can’t provide much analysis other than what they learned at their position, IE a less intelligible Grant Long.

Question

When looking at the box score, what is a team rebound?

by Kidder on Feb 6, 2010 10:44 PM CST reply actions  

I think

It’s just to account for rebounds that they didn’t credit to any player.

by belt on Feb 6, 2010 10:46 PM CST up reply actions  

Krstic

He didn’t listen to me and kept shooting, and I’m kinda glad.

by belt on Feb 6, 2010 11:04 PM CST reply actions  

wow

pizza took too long to get, looks like things have been going well

by rickpidero on Feb 6, 2010 11:06 PM CST reply actions  

GS

The Warriors are literally throwing the game away.

by belt on Feb 6, 2010 11:07 PM CST up reply actions  

Is it true that Medium Pizzas in Korea

Cost about 40 bucks? Some military guy who served there told me so, though I’m not sure what to believe. In Japan, a medium slice is considered a meal, so it can’t be that far off from the truth, though I did find a large for 18 bucks.

KD...

rough shooting but still has a +12

Loud City via Far East

by rickpidero on Feb 6, 2010 11:10 PM CST reply actions  

Hoping he can throw down another 10 points and keep the 25 point streak alive.

by belt on Feb 6, 2010 11:12 PM CST up reply actions  

Although

He looks like he is forcing it now!

by Kidder on Feb 6, 2010 11:14 PM CST up reply actions  

23 points!

A couple more and the streak lives!

by belt on Feb 6, 2010 11:23 PM CST up reply actions  

i hope...

he does it all from the line, 7 free throws in the quarter!

Do they not see Westbrook? I know GS likes the turn the ball over but my goodness.

If I was a Warriors fan

I’m pretty sure I would hate Coby Karl.

Actually....

Coby Karl was considered to be a great D-League pickup….

Until now, when he’s started self-imploding. I think the booing is temporary.

Good win for the Thunder, good loss for the Warriors. Good all-around I suppose, but I still wanna see my team win at least some of the time.
