Put Thabo in for defense, he`s great, sit Fisher when he doesn`t produce. If Ibaka continues to play his games like a new kid on the court and Perk doesn`t produce anything except having a stupid look on face when he screws up, play the three other big guys for a few more minutes and see what happens. Russell needs to get more control of his 90mph layups. If the Thunder is behind in the last 5 minutes, put the three best shooters and two best leapers and have a shooting fest outside the arc. Shooter scoots to defensive court, need more effort on offensive rebounds.

how many steps is ginobili allowed to take when moving with the ball? One, two, three, or four? if we were just allowed to play by the rules he would be far less effective.

okc has become relevant in the NBA. in college ball if you make the final 4 that is quite an accomplishment. in the NBA that isn’t good enough? i think we’ve done great, and yes sa is very good, but can still pull this out. we’ve played pretty good, but sa has played better and had a few more calls go their way. we’re OK. go Thunder! enjoy the playoffs. lots of teams would like to still be playing now. you still have a chance at winning it all. don’t let it get away from you.

Classy? Seattle? Isn’t that like an oxymoron? Since when have Seattle fans ever been classy? Tim’s just the latest example.

Well, gee, then why don’t we just forfeit the next two in OKC. Brooks has made some ingenious moves this season in his coaching. Now, he’s no good? Say what? I’m an OU fan, but some sound like the whacko OU fans who will settle for nothing less than perfection. Maybe this isn’t OKC’s time, but our time is coming. Everyone just chill. And to the idiot who says we ‘stole’ the team, gee, I thought your city wouln’t vote to build a new arena, seems like your city GAVE AWAY the team.

Consider the curse of the Sonics in full effect. The Thunder will only tease OKC fans and will never take it all the way. Just 7 comments on this story? Where’s the interest? Where’s the smart, passionate basketball fan? To the town that stole a team, you’ll never win it all.

I kinda figured Green would have been on Westbrook from the jump in Game 1. Hiding Parker on Thabo seemed like the obvious strategy, but you can tell Pop is still trying things out

On the flip side, OKC needs to switch that on their own side – hide Westbrook on Green and put Thabo on Parker. Westbrook is gassed having to chase Parker around, plus do everything on the offensive end. And I think Thabo could give TP some trouble

And maybe not always his fault, as explained above, but the “Russell Westbrook dribble for 18 seconds then shoot a long jumper” offense was simply atrocious to behold

Turn out the lights, put away the .38′s, .25′s & 9′s, sober up, clean up, the Thunder party is over. The sweep has started. Bright side. Basketball at this level makes time go by faster and we can get down to some serious sports like college football. @90 days till real sports begins.

All of this “fire Scotty” talk reminds me that we used to ONLY be a college football state. Fire the coach chatter got old back when Stoops was losing title games.
