OKC Thunder Eliminated in the first round of playoffs in Game 6 95-94

In an upset to Oklahoma City Thunder Fans everywhere the Thunder lost in Game 6 of the playoffs against the LA Lakers. The entire game was quite close, definitely a game where the fans all sat constantly on the edges of their seats. Each quarter had the OKC Thunder and the LA Lakers nearly matching each other for points.

Kevin Durant must have the feeling of letting his team down with a game-high of 26 points but missed 18 of his 23 shots in a display that summed up this game. “No matter how bad I shot, I always came out there and played hard and tried to do other things to help my team win,” Durant said. “So I can live with myself knowing that I came out there and gave it my all every game no matter how (inefficient) I shot the ball. That’s all I can ask for. That’s all my teammates can ask for. Even though this loss hurts, we all gave it our all every game. That’s all we can do.”

If there is one thing to take note of this season about the Oklahoma City Thunder it is the fans. The stands were filled to the brim with blue shirts and waving banners, the screaming fans animated. I think the Thunder Basketball team now knows it has a 100,000 person family supporting them. We’ll all be there next season to push them even harder and hope to see another playoff season next year with the Thunder.

OKC Thunder at Game 6 tonight at 8:30pm, let’s bring home a WIN

The Oklahoma City Thunder will be playing the LA Lakers tonight at 8:30pm for a home game a the Ford Center. This is game 6 of 7 of the playoffs. Hopefully we can get Durant and Westbrook to bring their A-Game and let whichever Kobe Bryant personality comes out leave with a loss. This is a huge game for us and I think with the right amount of synergy and the right amount of confidence we can make it a win.

This is going to be a tough game against the LA Lakers, namely based on the last game played with the Laker’s Kobe Bryant. I think we can pull through with Scott Brooks’ leadership.

Be sure to stock up on Thunder apparel at our Thunder Store to show your support for our basketball team!

Oklahoma City Thunder face defeat in game 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers

In what can be seen as a big upset for Oklahoma City Thunder fans everywhere we lost game 5 of the playoffs 111-87 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe Bryan brought out his A-Game and really showed NBA fans everywhere why he is the seven-time NBA ALl-Defensive First Team member. Kevin Durant was blocked at every turn by the Lakers forward Ron Artest and that left it up to Russell Westbrook to pick up the difference. Unfortunately for the Oklahoma City Thunder that attempt was blocked by Kobe Bryant’s outstanding game play throughout the game.

The game was looking very dismal at half time when the lakers were up 55-34. After that Laker’s brought their lead even higher in the third quarter to a 32 point lead.

We are all looking forward to game 6 at the Ford Center to see what Scott Brooks, the Oklahoma City Thunder coach, will come up with to counter the LA Lakers. I’m sure we can pull through and show some real strategy in order to bring home another win. It is going to help a great deal that we will be playing at our home court at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City.

Game 6 will be be this Friday night, I’m feeling a comeback win.

Oklahoma City Thunder Rocking the playoffs

As the Oklahoma City Thunder progress through the playoffs the excitement in Oklahoma City is rising with banners throughout downtown Oklahoma City on billboards and bridges. Fans are incredible excited about how well we are doing, and managed to do by getting into the playoffs so early in our team’s history. I think there are some upset Seattle fans to see us doing so well, and with such excitement from Oklahoma Thunder Fans for the game and for our team.

We beat the lakers most recently 110-89 and play them again tonight. I’m sure we can manage to achieve the same great success in beating their basketball team easily. So, everyone give your shout out to the Thunder tonight to help bring home another win for the Oklahoma City Thunder!

OKC Thunder wins Game 4 against the LA Lakers

The Oklahoma City Thunder brought home a win against the LA Lakers in game 4 of the playoffs. With a score of 110 to 89 and the help of both Kevin Durant’s leadership and rising star Russel Westbrook amazing talent. The OKC Thunder brought the confidence and synergy to Game 4 that was needed in order to take down the LA Lakers basketball team.

With 3 games remaining in the playoffs against the LA Lakers, we’re hoping to see Westbrook step up and become an allstar player through the rest of the post-season. That is as long as the “Black Mamba” of Kobe Bryant doesn’t come out and show what he’s all about.

Oklahoma City Thunder beat LA Lakers in Game 3 of the playoffs!

The Oklahoma City Thunder finally brought home a win in game 3 of the playoffs to show that we truly are a big league team with some amazingly talented ball players. After seeing what Kobe Bryan can do, Kevin Durant was able to use his length to shut down Kobe’s shots throughout the game. Durant’s defense limited Bryant to only get 2 out of 10 shots.

I think we will see Scott Brooks continue to lead the OKC Thunder to more wins in the playoffs, let’s all hope to see the OKC Thunder advance to round 2 of the playoffs and really make the Thunder an allstar team.

Oklahoma City Thunder loses to Hornets in New Orleans

The Thunder fought hard in their attempt to beat the Hornets tonight with a score of 88-79. Serge Ibaka scored 12 points with nine rebounds and two shots blocked. Making a great game in his teamwork with Kevin Durant for the New Orleans loss.

The Thunder was leading near the end of the game with just 5 minutes remaining, much like they did at Memphis. With a score of 79-75 the Thunder was able to even turn the basketball over 5 times in 5 minutes but were unable to come out with a win despite their attempts.

All in all a good basketball game against the Hornets but hopefully we can get some solid wins under our belt this season to really show everyone else we are a truly contender in the NBA.

Two new players for the Oklahoma City Thunder Basketball team

The Oklahoma City Thunder has added 2 new players to our roster. The new players are Thabo Sefolsha from Chicago and Malik Rose from new York. Both were done as separate unrelated deals. General Manager Sam Presti has said that they haven’t decided when Rose and Sefolosha will join the OKC Thunder.

In order to add these two new players to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the basketball team decided to waive on the not often used center Mo Sene.

Sam Presti also believes that these two new additions will help build the Oklahoma City Thunder into a well structures team that will better be able to cope with the rest of the league. We have already come pretty far from where a lot of people expected and I think moving forward we will be able to really show that Oklahoma City is truly a big league NBA team.
