Nothing like playing at MSG. I say that like I’ve played there before, so I’m just assuming. I guess I should say, nothing like watching a team play at MSG and living vicariously through them while they do it.
Looking ahead on the schedule, the Thunder are next at the Bobcats, then home against Boston, then at San Antonio. It sure would be nice to be riding a little win streak headed to play the Spurs.
New York coming in: Beat the Pistons last night, but are just 5-5 in their last 10.
Three Big Things
1. 3-point line. The Knicks can fill it up from outside and in most cases, that’s their goal. They’re hot and cold from outside, but are a threat to rip off 10 or 11 makes from outside any given night.
2. Melo. Assuming he plays, he gives the Knicks the opportunity to play small, therefore putting Scott Brooks on the spot to match up.
3. Durant. No secret, but Russell Westbrook has kind of sort been carrying the Thunder the past couple weeks. KD hasn’t really shot the ball all that wonderfully and has been a little erratic in crunchtime. Would be nice to see a vintage KD game tonight.
Tip at 7:00 CT. Go MSG KD.
Honestly I didn't get to watch the game but I really think the Knicks are better without Melo. And it was on the road. I don't believe in a bad road win, especially in the NBA.

36 points in the second half. I feel like this is becoming a trend against good teams. Not sure why this is happening.
@nomad We get into these jumpshot happy funks..
@neo12 Yeah it just blows my mind they don't see themselves doing this.
I hope everyone knows that Livefyre was a missed jumpshot away from a complete meltdown tonight.
Phew.. thunder lucky to get a win tonight. Is this what they call winning ugly..
Knicks media is shitting on woody right now, i bet OKC media is kissing scotty ass
@Lost Ones Are they mad about Chandler not being in down the stretch? I thought Woodson managed his line-ups well in the 4th.
@duhsweetness yea and the plays down the line. the fact that jr was 2-9 and visibly tired etc.
Hell...I'm just gonna play music and enjoy the win. When this things comes clean...it might make the Manti Te'o pale in comparison. Everywhere...I look...guys in love.

@Barry Amenema
I actually had this as No. 14 on my Manti Te'o Greatest Love Songs Collection. Great song.
Rudy Fernandez got punched by a fan today? That's pretty sweet.
@duhsweetness Even better that it was a Thunder fan.
@Skyline @duhsweetness it was for taking westbrooks place in the dunk contest
@duhsweetness They must not have liked his flopping.
@beelieve035 He seems to be universally disliked. Prolly 'cause he seems like a total turd.
@El Prez, it was more like like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGFToiLtXro
@ThunderChick2010
Another great song. Do you have the Michael Buble version? Wasn't this song featured in a scene from The Deer Hunter?
Why is LeBron James getting married a story on ESPN? Where the hell are the Thunder/Knicks highlights? They just freaking played.
@Aren't Question: Who's got LB's D farther down their throat? Espn or Stern? I think it's a tie.
On the bright side, if Fisher continues to play like this,hopefully he'll play himself out of the rotation before the playoff.
@KatieLL He could average negative points and Scott would still get him minutes.
@Bryson *Sign* A girl can hope, can't she?
outside of maynor has that happened before? perk been playing himself out for years @KatieLL
@Lost Ones Well Perk has some value defensively... Fisher and Martin just can't play together, hopefully Scotty's smart enough to figure that out.
Steve Kerr adores ball movement and offensive execution. His ideal matchup is Spurs-Celtics.
Seems that many want to see Brewer get some run. OK, but Lamb is the dude I really want to see get some non-mop up duty minutes. He was hyped as a potential defensive stopper coming in, & we now know he can fill it up from his time in the D-league, so try him out Scott.
Wait, that wasn't Iggy. Lol
3-1 with brewer on the bench. making an impact.
Wilson just chandlered all over everybody.
Whoaaa Iggy.
Lol Denver's bench.
Not Skip Bayless @RealSkipBayliss
Jason Kidd and Derek Fisher haven't battled like tonight since The Civil War.
@Skyline @RealSkipBayliss Seeing as how they are both light-skinted, who is repping the South?
I tried to tell you people. Some of you prolly scoffed at Dr. El Prez earlier in the week. You tell me this two dudes aren't in love?

@El Prez Somebody on here with the know-how should remake that Laverne & Shirley NBA commercial with Monta/Jennings and replace them with Fisher/Brooks.
@El Prez Is this an ode to Fish and Scotty?
Beckley Mason @BeckleyMason
Rasheed in OKC locker room to see Perk.
Wonder what this is about......
@Skyline @BeckleyMason Pretty sure they know each other so.....lol
@beelieve035 @BeckleyMason Ok, just making sure it isn't another Zach Randolph type of visit.
@beelieve035 @Skyline @BeckleyMason Bromance .... Aw.
I was really frustrated by not going to Kmart in the fourth. Kidd was guarding him. The one time we did, we got an easy dunk out of it.
And get Fisher out of the gotdamn game.
but doesn't westbrook's walk make him look like he's limping?
@OohWeeItsVelvetHoop This is true. Lol The man is made of steel, hope he's alright though.
what in the world was fisher doing in the game so long
@thunder for the win Giving them veteran swag
@ESPNStatsInfo: Kevin Durant: 149 pts in 5 career games at MSG. Only Jordan (165), David Thompson (158) & Kareem (152) had more in their 1st 5 games at MSG
Why don't Darnell and Royce call him out or at least ask him what Fisher brings over Brewer? All of us would really like to know? Brewer shuts Kobe down his only 5 minutes yet he only gets 5 minutes. JR Smith is going OFF and he still brings Fisher in and they have KMart and Jackson guarding him so Fisher could be in.
@okcjim here's an idea: get some "kid reporters" for a vid for thunder. nba. com and get them to ask brooks why he plays fisher so much.
@okcjim they soft that's why, they want to kiss his ass to get the extra scoop
@Lost Ones @okcjim I agree, this organization is so tight lipped they're scared they'll clam up even more if they ruffle any feathers.
@okcjim It would really fantastic if the beat writers asked a question that the fans are dying to know the answer to.
