5 leftovers from San Antonio | Daily Thunder
It's beating a mostly-dead horse, but I don't know why, either.
But last night brought to life the great fear of Thunder fans. There was Fisher, on the floor in the fourth quarter, for some reason. Sitting on the bench: Thabo Sefolosha, Kevin Martin and Reggie Jackson. And if you want to extrapolate further, Jeremy Lamb and DeAndre Liggins were figuratively on the bench as well.
In 12 minutes, Fisher was a -21. He was on the floor for both big San Antonio runs. Now, I can’t be selective and ignore that Collison was actually the biggest minus (-24) so it’s not fair to just single out Fisher. BUT with Collison, I know why he was on the floor. I still don’t with Fisher.
Yep.

Why Loud City should be at the 'Peake' of your bucket list | Sheridan Hoops
The Boston Celtics’ Avery Bradley, a former Texas Longhorn, would attest to this on Sunday before tip-off.
"It’s loud; it’s kind of like a college atmosphere," Bradley said. "You can just feel it. The fans are so intense here. They’re so in love with the Thunder. For it to be like a college game, that’s the best atmosphere."

Ricky Rubio gets his first triple-double vs Spurs | Ball Don't Lie
Ricky Rubio carved up the Spurs on his way to sending down the team that just took apart OKC. It kind of lends credence to the idea that it's tough to play back-to-backs against quality teams, no?
