Trail Blazers will be facing Oklahoma City Thunder tonight without point guard Raymond Felton. Assuming that means Nolan Smith will start -- are Westbrook's eyes lighting up?

Thunder win it 101 1/2 - 97, if I did the math right.

SOS/SonicsCentral folks (LOSERS) are E-planning their PR strategy for tonight....

Thunder - 102
Blazers - 95

I expect a bit of flat play tonight considering this is the game between the Miami game and the Lakers and Bulls games later this week. I still think they'll gut out a win against a Portland team that needs to tank and get a high pick to help out Aldridge.

KD and Russ combine for 68 points.

I'd expect a slight let down but more mentally than physically tonight vs Heat. We've had a day off for travel, no workouts nor practices were held so Thunder should not be fatigued. Getting the braincells juiced for Blazers may be a task.

Thunder has some awesome games & some awful games vs PDX. Lets all hope that tonights results are the prior and not the latter. This is the fourth/final game of this season, we need to make it 3-1 not 2-2.

Thunder totally selling out with a double-team on Aldridge... Ignoring Przybilla
