Durantula had his game last night. Dunno how strong they look here

Goat Milk · 04-07-10, 07:01 PM

with ease? disagree.

LT Profits · 04-07-10, 07:18 PM

Normally I'd agree, but then again, this line would be higher than -2.5 under normal circumstances.

Besides the obvious fatigue angle with the Thunder playing a fast-paced overtime game last night and the Nuggets off since Saturday, it was also a bad emotional loss for OKC last night as they would have been in the race for a two-seed if they won, instead of trying to hold on to sixth.

nuggets better pick it up in the 4th

JOHON8 · 04-07-10, 08:55 PM

OKC tired? Yes, but does it matter??? Amazing defensive performance by OKC, Durant exhausted and still hitting 3s.

Yep, Thunder showing a lot of heart while running on fumes. This team deserves a lot of credit and will be a tough out in the first round.

DaAce · 04-07-10, 09:23 PM

wow... some of these calls are

PAULYPOKER · 04-07-10, 09:26 PM

This is why I don't pay attention to the game until it is final no need to put your self through hell

Looks like the fatigue did ultimately prove to be too much. Still a VERY game effort by OKC, unlike the Jazz who just mailed it in.

LT, it wasn't fatigue, it was just Denver's commitment to defense down the stretch. Chauncey got his group together, and made sure they understood how important this game was.

PAULYPOKER · 04-07-10, 09:41 PM

Oh well x15 on the Suns it is

DaAce · 04-07-10, 09:46 PM

nice

Yeah but on the other hand, OKC would not have blown a double-digit fourth quarter lead at home if they had their legs.

DaAce · 04-07-10, 10:40 PM

Alot of jumpers fell short from OKC in the 4th. Thats legs.

PAULYPOKER · 04-07-10, 10:54 PM

OKC is in serious trouble for contention success in post season IMO

I disagree, I think they are one of the lower seeds that none of the top seeds want to see.

PAULYPOKER · 04-07-10, 11:25 PM

Maybe I'm overreacting because of the letdown

Yes. No one wants to face a long, athletic team with an unlimited amount of energy in the playoffs. Especially one that can rebound the ball and play solid defense. Nevertheless, I can't see OKC getting out of the first round. They're a good story, but just don't have any playoff experience, or any veterans to get it done come game 7.
