Rockets vs. Thunder: Pre-game primer

It should be a somber crowd tonight at the Ford. Maybe we should all wear black as we mourn the loss of the Sooners. Twas a wonderful season, but nothing hurts more than coming up empty-handed on the biggest stage in your sport.

Maybe the Thunder can give us some solace! Yeah.

I’m in the process of setting up the new website, so I’m a little swamped. But here’s a quick breakdown:

Thunder not so much.

But I actually sort of like OKC to play well tonight despite that 42-point whooping the other night. Under Scott Brooks, that doesn’t happen much and typically the team comes back competitive. Hopefully, Nenad Krstic gets more settled in tonight and unlike the Wolves, the Rockets don’t hit EVERYTHING. The Rockets are just .500 on the road and the Thunder have played them relatively well. And I’m kind of excited to have a real 7-footer to match up on Yao. I’m going to go on record and make a prediction for tonight:

. Yep. Maybe I’m reaching because I need something to help me get over last night. As you can see, I took it pretty hard.
