Talk about letting a game slip away. Tonight was a pure example. It was kind of like a wet floor after being mopped. The Thunder were right there, and let it go. Had a perfect opportunity to go up 2-1 in the series and steal one in Miami, and couldn’t. It hurts. Real, real bad. Oklahoma City lost the game late in the third quarter, as they blew a big lead, and let Miami back into the game. Now, the… Continue reading
The first few times the Thunder trailed early in a game and had to mount a comeback, we were all thinking to ourselves that it is okay, and it happens.

In Game 6 and tonight, the Thunder didn’t play well in the first half, but came out with incredible intensity which sparked a big run to win the game. It’s almost as if… Continue reading

Scott Brooks always tell his guys to do their job each and every night. In other words, to play their role on the team. That was the case tonight.
