@ThunderChick2010 Dang laggy feed..
I thought I was the first :(
*deletes in shame*
Driving back from Dallas. Is there anywhere I can watch the game on my iPhone?
@TempBoy Brandon Driving down the interstate...watching a game... and posting on DT...I can only hope you have a six pack with you to throw back as well.
hi guys, i should've wait until the pregame primer to say this but I can't hold it any longer.
if you're excited to see the thunder win the franchises fourth 50th games in the regular season in five years don't touch that remote later when the game is on. :)
NOTE: Kevin Durant is averaging 37 points and 9 rebounds vs the mavericks this season.
@SniperJones035 Hm! You desperately want some likes don't ya?
Here take 'em!
@SniperJones035 I believe that post is quality enough it deserves a re-post in the game thread.
Random-stuff Sunday. I busted out laughing at this one too.

Question for all you gamers.. I've never been a sports game guy, so is 2k13 worth it (for PC) ?
@Tronchaser i love playing 2k. expect a little learning curve though. but after getting through that it's great
@Tronchaser I haven't played an NBA themed video game since NBA JAM. Not really but that's the only one I every really played all that much.
@Old Man Game @Tronchaser NBA Live 95.
@Tronchaser yea, you can edit the entire game basically
@Tronchaser I've heard the PC version is good. You can actually fix the problems in the game that you can't fix on the console versions.
@OBoy @Tronchaser i heard mods are great. i heard there is some custom roster with like 250 retro teams (and in 2k12, olympic teams) including the court, jerseys, and players.
@Tronchaser if you need to play basketball, sure, if you want to play a great sports game, pick up fifa
@O O O O O O Nah, I'd never play the soccer version.. doesn't interest me.
@Sigmund @Tronchaser yeah?? ive started using the custom sliders cos i was forced to, cos everything about 2k13 feels super arcadey at first... but i think im getting close to something. fifa feels pretty good right away tho
@O O O O O O @Tronchaser 2K is way more realistic, especially with custom sliders. FIFA 98 is my favorite all time game though.
@Tronchaser fifa > 2k haaaaaaaaaaaard, just as a game. lool i wasnt even into soccer before i picked up fifa. but lol fifa is better than 2k at literally everything. gameplay, music, presentation, online features, everything. its hardly close
@O O O O O O @Tronchaser fifa? wtf LMAOOOOO
@Tronchaser i love it on xbox worth it to me, but I have never played it on a pc though

LOLOLOL funny.
@Tronchaser Great response, BUT Little Nathan's team did beat former D Leaguer Steve Novak's team on that night so he got the last laugh.
@Tronchaser LOL at the knicks gameshow host reactions
i hope Kevin Durant rekindles his fire soon.
How bad did the bucks lose for trading tobias harris?
@Lost Ones bad, they didnt even need reddick.
lamb still in tulsa?
@Lost Ones I think so. Tulsa has two home games this week so I bet they'll want him to play those.
It sucks but I do think he's being helped a bit by it. Did you see all the blocks he had last night. The kid could really be a very good defensive wing.
@Old Man Game nah i didnt, but yea i know he's great when it comes to blocking
@Old Man Game Quinn missed wide open layup at the buzzer to tie the game after they were down 110-97 with 1:30 to go earlier in the week against Los Angeles. You knew Lamb isn't passing on that last possesion.
@Sigmund Also if I'm not mistkaken Quinn tried to run the offense at the end of regulation and trainwrecked and ran the clock down too much before making his move. In OT it was, give the ball to Lamb and let's get out of here.
@Sigmund @Tronchaser I don't know. Tulsa's got a home game that night also. And you know he won't play against Denver anyway given Brooks.
@Tronchaser @Old Man Game @Lost Ones @cfountain He'll be called up for the Nuggets.
@Tronchaser @Old Man Game @Lost Ones @cfountain They were running some plays for him in 4th q that didn't work, went to hero ball in OT and won the game.
@Old Man Game @cfountain damn dude has talent wow
@Old Man Game @Lost Ones @cfountain You knew he was gonna take it himself. Good drive left, create space, and jumper. The dude is smooth.
@Lost Ones @cfountain See here:

@Old Man Game I think dropping in the draft and losing his coach last season was low enough but i see what you mean i guess.
@cfountain @Old Man Game game winner? wtf wow i missed a good one i was so pissed at SU that i went to sleep lol
@Lost Ones I'm starting to enjoy it to. I would have rather seen him play, but since he didn't I actually think it's cool he had to go endure the commercial flights and 3 star hotels and crowds of hundreds of people in the D League rather than just sitting at the end of the bench all year. I think it'll harden him (no pun intended). This was a dude who won a championship as a true freshman at UCONN. Don't want him thinking life will always be that easy.
@Lost Ones @Old Man Game how he took over in OT and hit the game winner left me amazed.
@Old Man Game it's always great hearing something good about him, it seems like a old legend or some shit
@Lost Ones He had 4 blocks. Several of them were blocks on jump shooters. The guy's arms are just so ridiculously long the majority of 2 guards, even a lot of SFs can't get a clean look over him.
It's a sad day in the NBA when a team who features these guys off the bench wins 23 straight...
-Birdman Anderson
-Norris Cole
-Shane Battier
-Ray Allen
Teams must have already called it a year, Nobody is competing with Miami...
Once again...Chris Anderson/Shane Battier/Norris Cole/Ray Allen..23 straight really??
@Sup' Bruh' those is some solid veteran players, a lot of them could start on NBA teams specifically ray and shane. not to mention guys like Mike miller, haslem etc who are apart of the team. the heat roster is legit.
@Lost Ones @Sup' Bruh' I don't think Miller could start ANYWHERE, whenever I watch him play it's like he can't even run or stand straight,
I had season tickets in Orlando back in 02'..he was good then...
@Lost Ones @Sup' Bruh' I mean on Spurs beating Miami in finals..Miami couldn't hang with them
@Lost Ones @Sup' Bruh' Spurs are better, I would bet everything I had on them beating San Antonio
@Lost Ones @Sup' Bruh' I just don't want miami to repeat the lebron/miami hype is already almost too much to watch..
@Lost Ones @Sup' Bruh' I hate the heat, I'm not sure if I want the Thunder to beat San Antonio in the wcf this year, We are scared of the heat and will have a hard time beating them, San Antonio would easily beat Miami in a 7 game series, last year they would of too..
@Sup' Bruh' @Sup' Bruh' only thing that matters is that they're the best team in 2013
@Lost Ones @Sup' Bruh' They definitely aren't an all-time great team..in my opinion...teams are scared of miami..it's pathetic
@Sup' Bruh' @Sup' Bruh' you just sound like a salty thunder stan LOL, nothing wrong with giving the competition some praise
@Lost Ones @Sup' Bruh' They just aren't that impressive to me, I'm pretty sure every single Championship team of the last 20 years would easily beat this heat team in a 7 game series
@Sup' Bruh' @Sup' Bruh' I dont think he could start anywhere either, but he's a great fit for the team.
@Sup' Bruh' When LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are creating open shots, yeah, even washed up players become threats.
And yes the combined age of Allen/Anderson/Battier is 105 years old..
