Nice way to closeout the half...

Thunder will have to come out firing in the 2nd half and keep the gap close. If they get down by 20 points again, it’ll be hard to close that size gap again.

It’s game 1… to win the series, you just gotta steal 1 of these home games…

Staying within 10-12 of the defending champs is fine…just want to keep playing hard and try to win by going hard to the basket, maybe drawing some fouls…getting some easy buckets..

Ollie is one of those guys who seems like he's older than he is just because he's well traveled...

11 years is long, but not uniquely so to the point where he becomes the voice of wisdom…

Not sure how you guys view the Refs

 during Lakers vs thunder games, but they are the 6-8 man when the Lakers need it most. Granted I’m from Sacramento and its my duty to uphold conspiracy theories against the Lakers, but the Lakers must get through the first round. Its NBA business. The refs just so happen to be paid by the NBA and also other sources (wink). Also, know that I’m not just routing for your team because i hate the lakers as a Kings fan, I think Durant is a better player and makes his teammates better. Kobe does not have those skills. Call me crazy but this might go to 7 games with the Thunder by one game. They can try and stop Durant, but they need to understand what a Westbrook is. Just make sure none of your players foul Kobe’s elbow with their chin. Go Thunder.
