2011 Playoffs: (4) Thunder Vs. (5) Nuggets

No need to be pity on him. Besides, that proves that OKC si better than the Nuggets.

It's hardly the end of the world for Lawson if the Nuggets end up getting swept. Like I said, both he and the Nuggets would appear to have a bright future.

Denver is just a fun team to watch.

Great defense by Harden on that last possession. 3-0 up now. Can't see them not winning 1 of the next 4.

Serge Ibaka had 22 points and 16 rebounds.

Oh fuck, I missed this game.

For as close as it was, it was pretty boring.

Monster game for Ibaka!

I though it was a foul. I agree with Lamrock though, it was sort of boring. I think I was just tired, tough.

Maynor makes a long three on the buzzer to cut the Nuggets' lead to 3 after the first quarter, 28-25.

Thunder will have to cut down on the turnovers if they want to avoid a game 6 though.

Farewell, America's Team.

Maybe next time they'll properly call a backcourt violation.

Great game by Durant. Ibaka was 1 block away from equalling the playoff record, too.

Denver gets robbed AGAIN in OKC. first the net non call in crunch time in game 1 and now the backcourt violation. very shady indeed

The Underdog(s) this year in the NBAPlayoffs are simply Ibaka with the great blocka(s) KD with his great HighScores they deserve it

Batman is impressed with the Lightning Bolts.

Does anyone else think the Thunder actually has good chance to come out on top from West? This Thunder team looks good.

Why does everyone hype and dick ride this team? From teenagers to adults everyone picks the Thunder and Bulls. NCAA Cinderella madness or what?
The Thunder have no interior offense and Bulls rely on Derrick Rose all 48 minutes. Lakers will stop the Kevin and Russell dominated Thunder offense.

Because there are good enough reasons to? The Thunder obviously became many peoples' favourite ever since the Perkins trade. There is no doubt the trade toughened up the Thunder as they really needed inside presence. Despite lack of interior offence, they seem to have enough firepower on offence with Durant and Westbrook. Nobody's saying they're a better team than SAS, DAL, or even LAL but since they could possibly be facing MEM in the second round, their chances at the Final don't really seem to be that bleak at the moment. Also their performance against DEN also helped in the cause. A few month ago, I would have not really considered this team legit contender but things are looking a bit different right now.

And I don't see anybody calling Thunder vs Bulls finals at least not where I am from nor here in NLSC. Thus no dick riding nor Cinderella madness I am seeing, but perhaps inside of your tiny brain of yours. Even if anyone did, I still would say they got good reasons to.

A Thunder vs Bulls Finals would be awesome.

Thunder vs. Mavericks in WCF. Winner plays the Heat. We all know that.

I'm pretty sure everyone thinks OKC is better than San Antonio. Probably Dallas as well. The Thunder are a damn good team on both ends of the court and pose a severe match-up problem for the Lakers. LA has got to be praying Memphis beats the Spurs and makes the WCF

I am calling for an OKC v CHI finals

A Thunder vs Bulls Finals would be awesome.

I am calling for an OKC v CHI finals

That's what I'm hoping for. Would love to see Rose and Westbrook going head to head in the Finals.

westbrook has been pretty bad the last two games tho.
