TGR 51: Game 7… Thunder Up

@TaoMaas
We need Serge to get back to "catch and shoot" when he's open. He's hesitated at times in this series and his shot isn't nearly as accurate when he thinks about it.

okc baby :Harden played almost 40 minutes and most of the 2nd half. Just sayin

I believe you're right. Harden isn't the long-term answer. What we need is for Ibaka to step up. He can't just be a shot blocker. He has to be a scoring option, too. Without him, the Thunder will just be a jump-shooting team. We have to have an inside option. I think Serge is the guy...but 1/3 of a year may not be enough time to really gauge things.

Always amazing to read the stories of Kevin Durant

Thunder have never lost while I'm in attendance... So, I'll be there on Sunday.

You know those scenes in westerns right before the showdown...town empty...rumbleweed?

I'm getting to the Alley about noon. See ya there! GO THUNDER!

Win or lose I'm giving them standing ovation. But I hope I'm giving them one because we will make the western finals!

Cant wait for tomorrow. I dont want to jinx anything, but i have a good feeling. This team, for all the letdowns and times when it looks disjointed, shows a lot of heart and toughness when they need to. I guess thats the frustrating thing- seeing the glimpses of potential.

Dunno if it's because it's Saturday, or if everyone is just massively worried, but considering that the biggest game in the Thunder's young history is hours away, this board is eerily silent and calm.

@jeff allen
If you can afford to and you have tickets (or believe you can score some)...then hell yes. It's going to be great.

need advice guys... should i fly to OKC tonite from RI for the game tmrw....

@Thomas
You know what would be more exciting? Game 1 of the WCF....

@okc baby
Thabo played 16 minutes and did nothing, nothing, nothing. He was atrocious on offense and Mayo owned him on defense. I'd rather Harden played 48 minutes and be dead tired than Thabo play 1 second.

Harden needs to get the ball on at least 10 PnRs tomorrow or we will lose. If I see Thabo start either half, I will have lost all respect for Brooks. It is clear what the problem is. Anyone who defends Thabo is not watching the games.

I'm excited about tomorrow. Game 7s are where truly big time players make their reputation. I think this should be a lot of fun.

harden played that much because he was in for durant with the early foul trouble. we will lose game 7 if thabo plays as much as he did lastnight.. id rather nate robinson play the 2 than thabo at this point.

Instead of talking about something that you cant change and wont change. You should talk about something you can make better.
