Go THUNDER !!!

[Colonel Thunder]

Possibilities:
Monta Ellis goes down with a mild lower back contusion--returns for Monday's game against the Mavericks in a win because he's ticked he didn't make the all-star game.
Maggette's hip pointer relapses during warmups for Saturday's game with us.
Morrow's return finds him rusty and unable to find his midseason form.

Team Thunder - 108
Mascot Thunder - 105

I hate it when Rican sees a hiccup...it could happen.

I think I learned everything I needed to know about gambling from this post. Thank you. I will now start my downward spiral into gambling addiction.

Kevin Durant scores 48 (gawd I hope they put Monta Ellis on him again)!

[Plainsman]

Well, here we go !

[Betts]

Need to challenge Biedrins for those rebounds.

[Plainsman]

Biedrins is quicker than Nenad, he's really quick for a white guy :)

[Betts]

Curry in foul trouble and Magette with a dislocated finger....we just need to settle down and pick our shots.

Agree, Kevin is turning it over pushing the break, when he can shoot over most of their linup

[Plainsman]

Maynor is cookin tonight

[Betts]

I am repeatedly impressed by Presti. What a great backup pointguard.

[Plainsman]

Another KD turn, tryin to drive the basket on a break.

[Plainsman]

Nenad = 0 for 6 , does not need to be in game

[Betts]

I always feel like it's serendipity when he has a scoring run, and considering that he's a good, but not great, rebounder, that's not acceptable.

[KDisNotNice]

Need to challenge Biedrins for those rebounds.

Or we need to foul him ala 'Hack a Shaq' every time he touches the ball on offense. He is shooting 10% :eek: (2 for 20) this season on FT's.

[KDisNotNice]

Nenad = 0 for 6 , does not need to be in game


Watch out, his fan club president will come in here and 'flame' you. :)

[Plainsman]

Why did RW give that up to KD ?

[Plainsman]

RW has 6 steals ............. geeee

[Betts]

That's the second time he's done that tonight. I think he gave it up to Green the first time. Don't you think he's trying to be a point guard?

[Betts]

Russell is looking very accomplished as late. Oooh Nenad.

[Plainsman]

Kris-Tich has now caught fire .............. he should be in the game

[Plainsman]

Russell is looking very accomplished as late. Oooh Nenad.

I feel totally comfortable with him at the point.

[Plainsman]

Ohhh WOW, RW is a pleasure to watch play.

[Betts]

Have I mentioned how much I love the third quarter?

[Plainsman]

Have ya noticed there's very little game presentation in that arena ?

[RicanThunder]

Another game, another 25+ points for KD.

[Colonel Thunder]

Westbrook is a thief tonight.

[Plainsman]

Does the team fly to OKC tonight ? Or stay there and go to Portland ?

[Betts]

It seems like it could go either way. Lots of travel if they come home, but a lot of down time if they go straight to Portland.

[Colonel Thunder]

Durant needs 5 more in 6 minutes to step into the top scorer spot.

[Plainsman]

If I were them, I would stay , its cold here :)

And they would just have to fly back out Monday.

[Colonel Thunder]

I'll bet they stay a day or leave for Portland right away if they can beat the storm out.

[Plainsman]

RW is two steals from a triple double.

[Betts]

He deserves one. He has been so close recently. Wow. Ten steals would be amazing.

[Plainsman]

Biedrins has 18 rebounds ....... and four points

[Colonel Thunder]

Biedrins has 18 rebounds ....... and four pointsAre you proposing a trade?

[Colonel Thunder]

Looks like KD will miss out on 30 tonight.

[Rumble]

We did it again!!

[KDisNotNice]

We did it again!!


Five wins in a row! Which ties our (real) franchise high.

[KDisNotNice]

I'll bet they stay a day or leave for Portland right away if they can beat the storm out.

It said in Sunday's local paper that the team is having a Super Bowl party at their hotel in Portland on Sunday. They were asked predictions for the Super Bowl and KRIS-tich had no idea who was playing in the game. :)

[HotRocNRol]

KRIS-tich had no idea who was playing in the game. :)

Futboll in Europe is round, black & white and played by both men & women in short shorts and ankle sox. I would not expect KRIS-titch to understand Superbowl Football and the teams.

J/K he's been in the states long enough to understand the game, just probably does not care nor have the passion that we Americans do for pigskin ball.

[Jimmy Early]

KRIS-titch should go to the party and be with his teammates. After all, there's nothing else to do in Portland.
