    Ouch............................another must win game for the DUBS on Tuesday if they want to get to the Finals. They were in this position last year in the Finals, so I expect them to play much better. Couldn't make a shot to save their lives tonight.

    Draymond Green absolutely should have been suspended a game. The fact that he wasn't and Dahntay Jones was for hitting someone in the junk just the day before is complete horseshit.

    Let's see just how dirty Green can get away with being. Funny how Adams still came back after that and Thunder still got the win.

    Oh, and I'm pulling for the Raptors in the East. Would be awesome to have an upset in both conferences.

    I look at it this way. The refs reviewed it and deemed it flagrant 1. He didn't get ejected. So if the NBA would have suspended him, it would have made no sense since it took like 10 minutes to review and even then he didn't get ejected.
    Is Draymond dirty? I've watched many of his shots and he kicks up when falling back, so was it intentional? Matter of opinion I guess.
    But the Warriors need to win tomorrow. They've been here before, albeit versus teams who weren't great scorers. Let's see how it goes Tuesday.

    I dislike Toronto and Cleveland, but my dislike for Lebron, trumps both, so...let's go Raptors!

    You dislike Toronto??!?,

    Dear Kyle Singler,

    You're the least popular member of the OKC Thunder. You get little to no playing time, and the minutes you do play have been lackluster to say the least. When your name is mentioned in conversation or on social media it is nearly always as a part of a joke of some kind. If you got traded or cut, most Thunder fans would probably say, "It's about time."

    That's the bad news.

    But here's the good news. You make over 4 million per year. And anyone who makes that kind of money has possibilities.

    My question is this: How much of your 4 million dollar salary for this season would you be willing to give up to change your image? What would it be worth to you to become loved, revered and appreciated by Thunder fans? Would you give up a million? Half a million?

    Well Kyle I have a business proposition for you. It will create an instant reputation turnaround and it will, at most, cost you $250K.

    Kick Draymond Green in the nuts tomorrow night.

    It would be the most savvy business and PR move in the history of the NBA.

    And none of this, "It was an accident" garbage that Green spouts. No accident involved. Just walk up and kick him in the junk with all the force your skinny, bird-like legs can muster. Given the fact that there's a good chance you won't get in the game, I recommend that you don't even worry about trying to do it during a time when you might be playing. Do it during a free throw, do it during a time out, you can even do it during the national anthem as long as you time it to line up with one of the cymbal crashes. It doesn't really matter.

    Then pay your fine, take the rest of the season off, and enjoy your new life as the most loved and adored member of the OKC Thunder.

    You're welcome.

    Gotta give credit when it's due. The Thunder flat out owns the DUBS so far. We've done NOTHING to show that we can win out the last 3 games. I'm afraid that this record season will be over in 2 games at most.

    With the exception of their perimeter shooting, when the Warriors play better D, rebound and reduce their turnovers, they should win. OKC is making their 3pt shooting tough, so GSW is trying to take advantage of shooting in the paint. They were the better team in the paint yesterday. Saturday will determine (IMO) who will move on. If the Warriors can win, I think they will move on.

    I'm not gonna lie. I'm not feeling great. Do I think OKC will win tomorrow night? Absolutely, but definitely not feeling certainty about it. Frankly, we had a horrible game in GS. We were super sloppy and as always happens with us, we couldn't hit the jump shots. The downside of being a shooting team. Some of this was due to Golden States defense and some just because OKC was off. I do think we will turn it around, and I have no doubt that the Chesapeake will be the loudest the NBA has ever seen tomorrow night which should spark OKC and get them the victory. They are gonna have to hit their shots though.

    Oh you know they are going to have my blood pressure up like usual! I wish they would open Thunder Alley back up. I'm going to go register to try and win tickets though.

    It's been such a big deal here in the Bay Area about the Warriors not playing well and getting blown out twice the last 2 times in OKC. Some are calling in that the Warriors play is a gimmick, that they are lucky to have made the Finals last year and that the NBA has caught on to their style of play. And if they lose Saturday, that it shouldn't even be mentioned that they won 73 games in the regular season. Whew, it's tough here right now. There's more excitement talk about the San Jose Sharks and the Stanley Cup than the Warriors playing for their life tomorrow.

    Yup, great game for GS. It'll be a miracle if OKC can win in GS again. I gotta hope though.

    KD had a bad night. Everyone is blaming him for the loss, but hey it happens. It happened to Klay and Curry in games 3 and 4. The Thunder forum fans are saying that Donovan will go over tape with KD and encourage him to pass more and not be so selfish. Personally, I'm okay with that because the less he has the ball, the better our chances. He still had an almost 30 point night and if it's reduced, then okay.
    IMO, Igoudala was the hero last night along with Klay.

    Game 7!

    This is essentially the NBA championship right here. (Cavs aren't about squat.)

    Would be GLORIOUS to see Curry and his cheerleading family get the bleep off my TV for the rest of the year.

    Sorry mel (well not really). OKC is a good team. I revel in their rivalry now with the Warriors. The Warriors adjusted at half time and it rained 3's all over the place. Nothing they could do to stop it. IMO, KD should have played more hero ball because his numbers were good. He just didn't shoot enough.
    No shame in your team. It was a great series and left my heart pumping.
