[Wrap10]

Homer time!

Thunder: 106
Mavs: 103

Just have a feeling they're going to break through with a win.

Tiebreaker: Durant scores 34

[Fast | Break]

Against better judgment, I'm going to say that after the grueling road trip and Lakers game,that our Thunder are due for a BIG win. The odds are they will take one of these type games down the stretch, and why not now?

Thunder - 103
the horses ass team - 98

. . . and there's no vindication involved in this prediction. No, not at all.

[KDisNotNice]

I'm gonna go to the game if I can score some tickets!

After Detroit failed to sell out a home game earlier this month, that meant the Mavs now hold the current consecutive NBA home game sellout streak. Of course there are always no shows and a lot of tickets on Ticketmaster team exchange for sale.

[Rumble]

I'm getting excited, almost gametime!! Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!

[Rumble]

We are playing decent so far. Durant is the man, we would be in serious trouble if we didn't have him!

[Rumble]

Great, they said Durant just went to the locker room. He bumped knees with somebody.

[thefranchise17]

its his ankle not his knee

[Rumble]

Crap, he's still not in there, and the 1st quarter is over. I sure hope he's ok. We can't afford to lose him at all.

[Rumble]

He's not coming back for this game. Think they said he has a sprained ankle. Its not broken, so that is good.

[RedDirt717]

The two newbies on the team have really stepped up. I'm very impressed with Seph and Rose. They're definitely making their presence known.

[bbingham05]

X-rays negative

[RedDirt717]

Wow, up by 12 in Dallas with no KD. What button did Brooks push? Our new guys are perfect for the style of our play Brooks is putting on the floor. Moving Watson to the point and playing some speed ball with Westbrook is really paying off.

[Rumble]

Down to 7pt lead. We can't blow this! We have played great this whole game!

[Rumble]

.....dang that was a stupid turnover by westbrook

[Rumble]

12pts just went bye, bye. Wow.

[Durantula]

5 point possession from Westbrook!

[Rumble]

Another close finish!

[Rumble]

One last play for the game! Will we do it???

[Durantula]

Sweet!

[RedDirt717]

damnit, I love watching this team.

[Rumble]

Overtime!

[Rumble]

I'm glad they didn't beat us there, but it would've been nice to put them away after having a 12pt lead!

[Rumble]

Come on westbrook! Thats 4 times he's gotten the ball stolen going inside like that!

[ThunderMonkey]

Man this is so frustrating. That cross court pass late in the 4th by Watson was a killer. His decision making is so up and down. It's like he's trying to make a highlight reel. Sometimes it's good and other times well ya know...

[Rumble]

Can we get a miracle here? We get in inbound pass, and hit a 3pointer to win!

[Rumble]

Dangit!

[ThunderMonkey]

Can we get a miracle here? We get in inbound pass, and hit a 3pointer to win!

Nope. :(

[Rumble]

Another really close game we should've won, but just can't pull it off. We played great though.

Nice game!

[Rumble]

I don't know if its better to get blown out or to keep losing these really close games. We are getting soooooo close.

[RedDirt717]

This game is Durantless, so I'll take a close lost in Dallas. It's been fun to watch. What really gets me jacked up is this team is really on the cusp of being a play off team.

Think about it, that's 19 games we've lost by two possessions or less. If we win half of those we're working toward the playoffs. All those last second losses just mean we're a few adjustments away from rocking the league.

[AD]

RedDirt... your avatar picture is what the team's logo should look like... love it... absolutely love it.

[Rumble]

Very true. I really thought we had this one. WE did play great without our best player. It was a really good game too. Just wish we could've pulled it off. We've got to start winning these close games.

[Rumble]

Win or lose, they're still my team!! :)

[Choda Boy]

Man, Westbrook was gettin' roughed up! Couldn't believe they weren't calling those fouls and I really wish they had T'd up Carlisle! :) That truly was a great game, but when they just don't know how to play with a lead. They always try not to lose instead of flooring it.

[Rumble]

Ha, yea, that ref was giving him the "eye". Came pretty close!

[Mr. Thunderhead]

Crap Well that should make for a good game at home. Wish I could go:(

In other news:

The super hurt gimp Tyson Chandler tiped in the ball at the end for the Hornets tonight. Man that guy needs a wheelchair.

[Mr. Thunderhead]

Yeah where was the T?

[rtucker47]

Crap Well that should make for a good game at home. Wish I could go:(


Go to the Thunder prize patrol tomorrow. I know you live in Ada but maybe someone here could get some for you. Some of our employees went by the Pizza Hut they advertised during the Lakers game and got 2 tickets to their choice-Dallas Washington or Philly. I think the Thunder are using this to check viewership because I was told the guy wouldn't give anything unless you brought up that you saw it during the game. They said at the Pizza Hut he was a guy in a blue suit with a Thunder Lapel pin.

[Mister P]

Despite the loss, that was an incredibly unbelievable game! I am completely exhausted just from watching it. I didn't even want to make an effort at writing a recap tonight. But I did anyway....and it probably shows.
