Hey Mayberry just wanted to let u know I read your thunder game notes after every game. I think you do a GREAT job!! I read all of the thunder stuff in our paper everyday (Oklahoman) and always appreciate your articles! In my opinion “The Oklahoman” doesn’t have enough thunder news or thunder stories in it. Maybe u can talk them into adding more? Anyway, you do a great job man! Keep up the good work!

[...] Darnell Mayberry: “In a way, a potential meeting between the Thunder and Lakers in the postseason this year could be more entertaining than last season. The newness will be gone. So will the young, happy-to-be-here, nothing-to-lose outlook the Thunder had. But the basketball would be better. And the matchups more riveting. It could again be one of the best matchups in the playoffs.” [...]

I think it’s great that the entire group of starters can rest with no dropoff in execution from the 2nd squad….

In fact, I do believe that the 2nd squad has better team cohesion, they play as one….

It looked like the Lakers were waiting on the Thunder starters to go back into the game & they would do the same BUT the THUNDER 2nd unit was beginning take over the 4th quarter & Phil Jackson had to put in his starters…. Then the Thunder starting 4 + Nick, finished out the game well-rested & ready….

I have to agree with Chris here; everyone contributed. I don’t want games to depend on 3-pointers. I’d take any of the three right now, since it looks like OKC is starting to solve the 3rd and 4th quarter empty tank issues.

This was one of the best overall team performances by the Thunder this season. Everybody who played had a key contribution at some point of the game.

How about Durant’s drive-and-dish-out to Thabo for 3 late in the fourth? I thought that was the shot of the game. Russell’s four-point play was the dagger… and it sure was sweet!
