Thunder making a run.

I don't think he's even close to the amount of losses Wilkens has though.

George is a great coach. He's a Dean Smith disciple. When you watch his teams you can see that controlled, fast breaking, tempo controlled motion offense Smith used to implement. Over the last 5 years Karl has upped the tempo considerably. Using the altitude to the Nuggets' advantage. He's one of my all time coaches. Probably top 5.

Idk if he was called up from the D-League team for the playoffs.

52-46 Nuggets

4 and a half left in 2nd quarter

Great fucking game.

_________________

Ty Lawson Top 15 PG?

He's a stud. Maybe a year away from dominating. He's just as quick or quicker than D-Rose.

_________________

Kevin Durant = George Gervin + 5 inches

Unbelievable layup.

_________________

60-59 Nuggets

Halftime

Maybe the best half of basketball played so far this postseason.

_________________

Both teams shooting 57% at halftime. Have I been teleported back to 1987? Awesome.

Pam Oliver works for TNT? Who Knew? I wonder if she knows whether or not Bill Walsh is dead yet?

Goddammit Nene!!!!!!!!!! No!!!!!!!!

70-68 Thunder

7 and a half left in 3rd.

_________________

LOL... Galinari and Chandler need to be signed to extensions in between the 3rd and 4th quarters. Why would NY give up both of them?

_________________

KS. I got a feeling this thread will be the second longest behind the Bulls/Pacers.

These two teams are very even.

Nene right knee contusion? I'll take it.

_________________

77-76 OKC

3:31 left in 3rd

Durant about to take over.

_________________

With a couple minutes left in the 3rd the Nuggets have seven players with 8 points or more.

_________________

80-80

1:09 left in 3rd.

Durant: 27pts

Westbrook: 26pts

_________________

What a great game. Durant is unstoppable if his shot is falling. Which is a lot of the time.

_________________

Can see why the sharps in Vegas think the Thunder are the team to beat for the title.

Durant will end up with?

Less than 40?

More than 40?

40?

_________________

96-90 OKC

Halfway through 4th.

Durant has 37pts.

_________________

99-98 Nuggets

4:26 left in game.

OKC went cold. Denver just does not stop.

I hope someone rolled Walt No Neck in front of a TV at the nursing home. This has been a fantastic game.

NBA Refs SSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK

_________________

I don't really give a fuck what the refs do for the first 46 minutes of a game, but please for the love of God officiate correctly in the last couple minutes. Frustrating. This was a great game, but it's been tainted by douchebag officiating.

GAME 1 Final:

107-103 OKC

Durant: 41pts

Westbrook: 31pts

K-Diddy going all Lord and Savior Tebow style in the post game interview.

Series Update:

OKC leads 1-0

One of the better played games to be nationally televised this entire NBA season ended on a controversial non call. Hopefully, the Ref-Taint will subside and these two teams can play another epic 48 minutes of basketball. Both of these teams could beat any other team in the NBA in a 7 game series. Both teams also have substantial deficiencies as well. Denver is still looking for a 4th quarter closer on offense. OKC has no consistent scoring threat in the paint (No one outside of Durant and Westbrook really).

Key Players:

Kevin Durant (OKC): 41pts, 9reb

Russell Westbrook (OKC): 31pts, 3-4 3PT, 7reb, 6ast

Nene' (DEN): 22pts, 8reb

Danilo Galinari (DEN): 18pts, 4reb
