Anyone I going? I'll be there!

If we win this one we are tied with Chicago for #1 in the nation! Thunder is #1 in the west right now.

I think it will be Thunder and the Heat in the national championship, but the Bulls are looking good too.

We got a ways to go though...

I went to the one last year when Kevin Durant hit the buzzer beater; it was epic to say the least.

It's the only game being played between the Knicks and Thunder this season and I've been hearing that Carmelo is definately out tonight. Last I seen it was Oklahoma City by 11.0 and the O/U is 197.0 so they're predicting a blow out in favor of the Thunder. I've even heard a few predictions of the Thunder winning by 20+ which could happen but I wouldn't bet on it.

Also, how about Durant up there with the big boys averaging 7.2 rebounds a game. He's had back-to-back-to-back double-double's and flirted with a triple-double against San Antonio with 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists. He also had 4 blocks in the last game vs New Orleans.

And has anyone seen Kobe's back-to-back-to-back 40+ point games? Somebody forgot to tell him he's getting old apparently.

I'll be there, but I go to almost all home games. Sec 103. Should be a great crowd since we don't have another home game until the 23rd.

I checked the Thunder Ticket Exchange. There are only two single tickets in different sections available for $115 each. I'm good, I'll take that in alcohol and get an upclose and personal viewing experience on a high definition TV with surround sound...AND instant replay.

Friend told me something disturbing...of the last 5 teams we've played, their top player didn't play. I replied and said, "well, you know what they say about playing at the level of your competition". So who knows, if those teams best player plays, I assume we play better.

This team is young and can't afford to get the BIG HEAD! We need to continue with our strong, loud and enthusiastic support of our Oklahoma City Thunder.

Go Thunder beat the Knicks...

Just the facts

It is midway thru the 2nd quarter and I would like to take that bet now.

Bet somebody on it then. LOL it's 70-47 at halftime so this could even be a 30+ point victory for the Thunder at this rate.

How many games played? I think Thunder (not me) lost only one game, amirite?

Any other teams with one loss? Any other teams with zero or any loss?

And to think we came close to losing out on this season lol

If they can keep KD and Westbrook healthy we could certainly look at being the 1 seed

The Thunder could easily have a 9-0 winning streak by the time they come back for their next home game on the 23rd against Detroit, after that we still have some pretty easy games not counting L.A. Clippers on Jan. 30th and Dallas on Feb. 1st.

You're forgetting that Chicago played tonight too. They won and are now 12 - 2.

Not such a good bet. They put the scrubs in for much of the second half.

This will be hard to keep up as 11 of the next 14 are on the road!

They shouldn't have a problem if the starters only have to play half a game.

We'll take it anyway. It provides a little cushion for a more difficult stretch. Keep in mind they are 5 - 1 on the road now too.

So they have played an extra game more than us.Thunder now have the 2nd best NBA record,just percentage points(1/2 game) behind CHI

In the next 11 road games anything can happen in the NBA but the only ones that look formidable are at the Clippers, Dallas, San Antonio, and Portland. A 7 - 4 record there would be perfectly acceptable. They then begin a stretch of 6 of the next 7 at home.

Getting noticed in the Big Apple.

Something still seems wrong with the possibility of the Clippers being a formidable team, no matter who the players are.
