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

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.

Someone on our team might want to go for one of these rebounds.
Yeah, that was major ouch.

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.
Harden is flourishing in this type of game.

Pffft
Grant Long doesn’t know the Ides of March. What a fool!
Be to not, or be to?

Krstic
Maybe it’s time to hang up the jumpshot for the game.
Is it just me....
Or did Krstic just grow some more hair?

No he's not
He’s gonna need to turn that around if the Thunder want to lock this game up.
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.

anyone else...

Loud City via Far East
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.
No, that's Elissa Walker-Campbell

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.

I think
It’s just to account for rebounds that they didn’t credit to any player.
Durant and Krstic
Trying to build a house for the Warriors.
Krstic
He didn’t listen to me and kept shooting, and I’m kinda glad.
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.

there...
are some chains that are like that (Mr Pizza), but if u go to the mom and pop places they are really cheap 5000 won, which is less than 5 bucks

Alright, sweet. Good to know!

Same here
I love the late games. 6 O’clock games are especially a pain. I’m a late-night type of guy.

Another steal
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.
Like pretty much every night this year. :-/

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.

Hey Westbrook
Don’t kill yourself when we’re up by 16 with 2 minutes to go, thanks in advance.
Ok Thunder we're all laughing.
Now quit goofing around.
Good solid win
Pushes the streak to 5. Go Thunder! See ya’ll later.
Whew
The evil Remington Park graphic was tamed again tonight.

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.
