I dunno. OKC's grip on the wheel has been slipping some lately. Not sure if they will leave it all on the floor tonight. On the other hand, Portland and it's crowd will treat this like a playoff game. Glad it's on NBA TV. Wonder which announcers will be broadcast.
Tbh, watching OKC lose is almost as good as gaining on Portland in the standings. Portland is bound to keep falling with their schedule, so even in the off chance they escape tonight it won't do much.
And they have to go to the Clippers tomorrow night so if we take care of business tomorrow night we can be tied with the Blazers going into the break.
I'm not expecting the Thunder to go into Portland and win tonight simply because this game means more to the Blazers than it does the Thunder. It would be nice to have a chance to be tied going into the break though.
Hibbert and George have been playing pretty crappy lately (although Roy had a good game against a busted up Nuggets last game) As for tonight, I'm the Thunder and Heat's biggest fans.
nevermind he's back. Mavs won't be tying our win streak tonight with the way they're playing though down 23 to the Bobcats in the 3rd
The Bobcats are kind of like the Wizards. They are another ultimate trap team that could beat Western Conference playoff seeded teams. They have beaten the Warriors twice already and the Clippers once.
