I'm really cool with either as a Finals opponent for different reasons.

As long as we make the Finals gotta take care of business north of the Red River.

No lead is safe against OKC.

Wasn't trying to call you out. Should have worded that better, my bad

Really looking forward to this game tonight.

Oh no, didn't mean it like that. I am just trying to say that I hope you aren't satisfied just getting there.

Agree about OKC, still a dangerous team.

Biggest thing to look for from the Thunder (other than the energy they're sure to start with and carry throughout the game) is their bench production to pick up somewhat. Also, expecting their role players to step up significantly at home. Reggie Jackson in particular.

SA has to take care of the ball more than usual, and the bench has to continue to play well.

Would be great for Belinelli to join Green in catching fire from downtown.

I would love for SA to start off the game by kicking OKC in the teeth from the first tip. Set the tone early and take the crowd out of it.

I'll be nervous if we start off the same way we did in Game 2

Is the OKC crowd ever really out of it?

I think SA has the smarter crowd, and OKC the more raucous one.

Would love to set the tone though. Planting the seeds of doubt early can pay off in the long run.

Seeing Durant and Westbrook out of their element in game 2 was awesome. It's important for Leonard to avoid early foul trouble this time. I'd also like to see Mario get some early buckets. It really gave him a boost against Portland.

Just need to take 1 in okc and I'll be happy.. will be difficult to say the least though no doubt the thunder will play better tonight in front of their home crowd just have to meet their intensity level

KD really seemed to check out early mentally. Doubt that happens again, but I'll take the resulting dub if it does.

This really is of paramount importance, I agree. I have not been comforted by the quickness with which he accrued fouls in game 2. That can't happen on the road.

I would also like a well-officiated first quarter if it's not too much to ask.

Officiating will be horrible and inconsistent on both sides, per par.

Is Ibaka playing? I mean he is 26 per game difference player.


I think the JJ's lose today but win the next one.

Looks like he is.

And if we have to split in OKC, I'd rather win game 3, but life ain't perfect.

I just can't see Ibaka being 100%

Me either. Will be interesting to see how he's used.

Hopefully Pop tries to see how much he can run.

Pace, pace, pace
