The ONE big mistake he made was giving Kendrick Perkins all of that money
I can only hope that Perk paid himself off with the guidance he provided to Adams.

He sure worked his ass off that last year he was with the Thunder.

I thought we were talking about crowd atmosphere.


Miami crowds get pretty damn loud.
I can't compare to Warriors or Thunder because I've never been so here.
Of course, as all others, it gets quiet if your getting hammered.

GG Dubs.

See you Saturday.

We will be celebrating my oldest's birthday (26) by having cold cervezas and Indian Tacos. Then we will gather around the TV and watch some roundballz.

And at the end of the day Westbrook and Durant keep the motor running. OKC is a fortunate fan base that has yet to endure mediocrity. It's not ridiculous to say they are a tad spoiled.

Also I knew Portland should have taken Durant #1 overall. Westbrook was more of a question mark.

you forget when OKC hosted the Hornets after Katrina. It wasn't like those teams were world beaters or anything, but OKC supported them every bit as enthusiastically as did any crowd ever did in New Orleans.

That's because the Heat are relevant. The Suns fans sounded like the Warriors fans tonight when we had Nash.

If he helped Adams along then it sort of justifies it now...but man, there was a point in time where us Laker fans back on the CBS boards would talk about how we had NOTHING for OKC when they would put in that lineup where Harden ran PG, with Russ and KD on the wings. I still remember to this day celebrating, when I found out that Harden was traded. Of course, that was short lived as that season turned into the 2nd biggest disaster of the any of the 2000's Laker teams

I don't mean to be negative but whenever a team endures a significant period of mediocrity crowds tend to diminish. Unless your are the Lakers, Bulls, or Knicks.

oh believe me I understand, but that isn't always the case. I can think of a lot of years in Denver when the Donks weren't barnburners, esp the early years, but that town has supported them thru thick and thin, period. Of course, it has never hurt that all the owners of the team have been top tier owners without exception, from the Phipps to Pat Bowlen.

yer boys were not overpowering by any means and it could have gone either way.

It hasn't been that way in OKC as the Thunder have treated GS like a rented mule.

They're saving their best for game 7, son.
Momentum just swung to GS....OKC will be under lots of pressure now.

I'm sure game 6 will be real close...but I have faith and believe the Dubs will survive it to bring it all back home for the Roaracle Rowdies on Monday.

This Golden State strategy tonight might just work
They played big. They attacked and dominated the paint with in/out passing and postups.

They made OKC shoot from the outside and even played some zone at times to make it happen
This was the first game where GSW found something they might be able to exploit.
That zone defense usually throws teams off
