Backstory: Didn't we just see the Kings? Yeah, we did. And we're going to have to go up against our weakness one more time. Since last seeing them, the Kings have won against Houston and lost against Dallas. The Thunder have Lost against Denver and won against the Clippers. Not much has changed, except the setting of the game.

I have a feeling the Thunder will jump out to a lead at some point in this game while the Kings continue their inside barrage. If they can buckle down on the inside (maybe break out some Etan Thomas?) at that point and maintain their lead, then we shouldn't have a problem winning this game. Just, for Pete's sake, please don't blow it late in the 4th!

Prediction: Oklahoma City 112, Sacramento 101

Carl Landry

Dude is so good. What an awesome trade by the Kings.

yeah

Landry is a beast for his size. Our D just has problems with the kings and I just can’t figure out why…

Jeff Green

You got caught by a flop but keep your head man.

by belt on Mar 7, 2010 8:47 PM CST reply actions  

Some of them have been pretty bad but they’ve been going both ways tonight so I’m alright with it right now.

James Harden

14 points in the first half? Wow.

by belt on Mar 7, 2010 8:53 PM CST reply actions  

Nevermind that there are almost 6 minutes left in the half!

by belt on Mar 7, 2010 8:54 PM CST up reply actions  

my god.

Durant yells one thing after blatent contact and gets a T? Where the hell was noceioni’s T when we yelled for like 5 mins straight? This game is honestly one of the worst officiated games I’ve ever seen thusfar, and I watched the entire rigged lakers/kings conference championship like 10 years ago… I’m almost scared to watch the second half. They might call a T on durant if he pumps his fist after making a nice shot…

by tron solo on Mar 7, 2010 9:28 PM CST via mobile reply actions  

Minus those poor calls we

Would have been leading by 15 horrible refed game

How the hell did that happen? I am Trailblazer fan to the core but I love me some OKC THunder!!! Must be the Hometown pride I feel.

oh man..

hope Westbrook is ok. that looked nasty.

by JoCro on Mar 7, 2010 9:34 PM CST reply actions  

Looked just like a cut near his eye. He was able to open his eye just needs a little patchwork. He was lucky it didn’t hit his eye.

by belt on Mar 7, 2010 9:36 PM CST up reply actions  

really?

I saw the blood but they cut away before i got a good look. But either way, I don’t like seeing my PG bloody.

by JoCro on Mar 7, 2010 9:45 PM CST up reply actions  

He's back on the bench

Took some stitches and he’s back.

by belt on Mar 7, 2010 9:52 PM CST up reply actions  

Alright!!!!

Back in the house. What’s up guys?

I've got a three inch vertical

by Kidder on Mar 7, 2010 9:56 PM CST reply actions  

Yeah

They gotta pressure that shot.

by belt on Mar 7, 2010 9:59 PM CST up reply actions  

A little surprised

To see Westbrook back. That swelling over his eye has to impair his vision. Maynor is quite capable.

I've got a three inch vertical

by Kidder on Mar 7, 2010 10:02 PM CST reply actions  

IBAKA BABY!!!!

I've got a three inch vertical

by Kidder on Mar 7, 2010 10:03 PM CST reply actions  

Throw his ass out!

I've got a three inch vertical

by Kidder on Mar 7, 2010 10:04 PM CST reply actions  

God, these refs.

Knock it off with these stupid technicals. And Long and Davis need to quit complaining about the fouls.

by belt on Mar 7, 2010 10:06 PM CST reply actions  

Nice D there!

I've got a three inch vertical

by Kidder on Mar 7, 2010 10:13 PM CST reply actions  

Good win!

A pretty important win too. This is one of those games we have to take with a difficult schedule coming up. Good job boys!

by belt on Mar 7, 2010 10:33 PM CST reply actions  

man oh man..

Westbrook was like a lion getting unleashed into the coliseum after he got stitched up… So glad I caught this game. This shoulda been televised!

by tron solo on Mar 7, 2010 11:13 PM CST via mobile reply actions  

by televised...

I mean nationally…

by tron solo on Mar 8, 2010 10:34 AM CST via mobile up reply actions

This was

one of the most poorly officiated games ever. Nocioni is a punk.

Props to our guys for not losing their heads too much and hitting someone. Bigger men than I would’ve been.
