    Knowing that my wife would be pissed if I splurged on playoff tickets, I went ahead and bought them anyway. Preemptively, I moved my pillow and spare blanket out to the couch.

    Already I can feel the intensity, the atmosphere, the energy, the passion and what not way even before the game has started......never have I felt anything like this...

    Not even the '09 run we had comes close to this

    Blow OKC out in TC and we have the momentum going into game 7.

    Can't wait.

    With all the talk about no NBA team ever coming back to win a series after being down 3-0 I looked this up.

    I could not find statistics on 3-2 but the following should offer even more hope.

    There have been 8 teams to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win a playoff series going into the 2009 season. The following teams are listed below. Teams in bold had home court advantage.
    1968 - Boston Celtics over Philadelphia 76ers (Eastern Conference Finals)
    1970 - Los Angeles Lakers over Phoenix Suns (Western Conference Finals)
    1979 - Washington Bullets over San Antonio Spurs (Eastern Conference Finals)
    1981 - Boston Celtics over Philadelphia 76ers (Eastern Conference Finals)
    1995 - Houston Rockets over Phoenix Suns (Western Conference Semifinals)
    1997 - Miami Heat over New York Knicks (Eastern Conference Semifinals)
    2003 - Detroit Pistons over Orlando Magic (Eastern Conference First Round)
    2006 - Phoenix Suns over Los Angeles Lakers (Western Conference First Round)
    Only 3 of these teams went on to win the NBA Championship - 1995 Houston Rockets; 1981 Boston Celtics; 1968 Boston Celtics. Rockets defeated San Antonio Spurs 4-2 in the 1995 Western Conference Finals and defeated Orlando Magic 4-0 in the 1995 NBA Finals. Rockets did not have home court advantage in either series. Celtics defeated Houston Rockets 4-2 in the 1981 NBA Finals and defeated Los Angeles Lakers 4-2 in the 1968 NBA Finals. Celtics had home court advantage in both series.

    Just saw that this game will be on ESPN while the Grizzlies/Clippers game on ESPN2. Interesting to see that given Westbrook's injury and Clippers being a LA team. Not to mention Clippers/Grizz is a higher caliber matchup in terms of quality.

    Doesn't matter if we lose tonight, this is a major win in my books just for making the playoffs and getting to game 6

    On my Dish it says Rockets Thunder will be on ESPN2 and Griz/Clips ESPN. Could be an error though

    On TNT Charles and Kenny picked the Thunder to win game 6. Shaq picked us. Lets prove chuck and Kenny wrong!
