UPDATE: No Rudy Gay and Reggie Evans for us tonight, along with IT...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Fabulous.

 

[TyFreak Evans]

Fabulous.

Yeah....i hope it don't very ugly very quick...

 

[KingMilz]

No one defends Cousins better than the Thunder, they just got the perfect combo off a great man to man defender in Perk and a shot blocker in Ibaka and crazy size/length at every position to bother him. Than you add Durrant and WB on offence and it's just a nightmare, the only guy the Thunder have had some issues guarding is IT (not playing) aside from that we pose zero problems to them.

Thunder is our toughest match up and as long as we don't get blown out right away I will be happy. Interesting to see how D-Will goes starting with Cousins and Ray Mac could be a glimpse into the future if Gay leaves.

Tanking the final games?

Considering Rudy's track record when matched up against non-scrub SFs (and I do believe that Durant falls into that non-scrub category, barely) I think we might be better off with him not suiting up tonight... Then again considering my track record with posts RE: Rudy, I might just be hating.

Either way. I voted we win. I now vote to be allowed to change my vote.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Good news: no Westbrook. Bad news: Sefolosha is back.

 

[cuad]

Detroit got a clutch win tonight. Very good news for us.

Oh this should be fun.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Oh great, now we get to see even more Travis Outlaw

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i feel bad for anyone who is attending this game

 

[cuad]

Down by nine points already. Yes!

 

[Glenn]

I am confident that we will score in this game. Go Kings!

 

[New Era]

Great start! I especially liked the play where Cousins got blocked and then never ran back to play defense.

 

[cuad]

These doctors are terrifying.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Looking great so far.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I am confident that we will score in this game. Go Kings!

The power of positive thinking at work.

 

[Glenn]

The power of positive thinking at work.

We then scored the next 5 points. Beats moping and sarcasm about our players.

 

[Glenn]

I.DO.NOT.UNDERSTAND.McLEMORE.

 

[New Era]

Never seen a guy miss as many dunks as BMac has this year.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Durant is just amazing

 

[cuad]

Bench Trout. Bring in Derrick Williams.

 

[Glenn]

It's hard to know what to say about Outlaw when he is playing well.

 

[Glenn]

Bench Trout. Bring in Derrick Williams.

Why?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

JT really gonna try to go at Ibaka? come on man

 

[cuad]

lol @ Cuz. He tried to do the Garnett thing, but missed.

 

[Glenn]

lol @ Cuz. He tried to do the Garnett thing, but missed.

Hysterical.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

lol @ Cuz. He tried to do the Garnett thing, but missed.

AND the 40 foot shot went it

 

[cuad]

AND the 40 foot shot went it

And then he comically hung his head while walking back to the bench.

 

[cuad]

Ben shoots layups like I did when I was 12.
