The May 24th Tornados were terrible for everyone and it is important in times like these to look beyond the OKC Thunder and look at the people of Oklahoma in need. I urge everyone to donate to the red cross and help make a difference in someones life. Help the victims of the May 24th Tornados in anyway that you can. Reports are thus far that there are 9 confirmed dead, a 4 year old Oklahoma boy missing and many more in need of help throughout Oklahoma.

As we move into game 5, we have to realize where we have ended up in the past 4 games against the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Playoffs. There is a lot riding in this game and a lot against us in it as well. As we ramp up for Game 5 in Dallas let’s all cheer and continue to show our Thunder Pride. We have lost 3 out of the 4 games, but we can still come through this and turn the tables by walking away with a Thunder win.

Coming out of a 112-105 loss in what has been termed as a complete meltdown by NBA (and even Thunder) fans everywhere. It is time to pick ourselves up and move forward. The worst play of the game was the second to last possession in regulation when the OKC Thunder were up 2 and had a real chance to win. It is unfortunate that Westbrook missed 2 free throws, they would have really made a difference in the game.

The only positive that really comes out of the game are the fans. We stand by our team, lets take that to Game 5 and bring home a win.

We were all really hoping to see the Thunder bring a strong win at home in Oklahoma City against the Mavs. Unfortunately it looks like we had one of the worst losses instead. We came out hard early in the game and lead in every quarter, Dallas didn’t have the lead until overtime.

This game was a complete, sudden, meltdown on pretty much every level of the Thunder in overtime of Game 4. Rick Carlisle did say, about Thunder Fans, that: “We need our building to be as loud as this building. It’s as simple as that. This is a fantastic place to play a playoff game because of the level of enthusiasm, noise — I mean those were getting beat and they were going to lose and the place is yelling ‘O-K-C! O-K-C!’. The fans are beyond belief.� It seems like nearly everything about the conference finals is about how passionate Thunder fans are.

Let’s keep the season going in Game 5. Bring that Thunder team spirit! Go Thunder!

The Mavs came at us strong after we won game 2 and lead with 15 after the first quarter and by the end of the half they were leading by 23. We managed to close that gap in the last half, but weren’t able to bring in another win in Game 3.

It seems like the fans are the only ones that brought passion during Game 3, the Oklahoma City Thunder seemed to have lost a bit of their steam. Hopefully we come back with a strong game in Game 4 of the NBA Playoffs.

Also, what was that halftime show. Anyone else have any idea?

Let’s go thunder!

(also, the world hasn’t ended— so that’s good.)

We pulled off a win in Dallas for Game 2 with a 106-100. It was definitely a close and difficult game but we managed to pull through and take home a win. I think it was a good move to bench Russell Westbrook for the first 3 quarters based on how poorly he played during Game 1— it truly may have helped us to win the game, even though they put him in during the 4th quarter.

This is the first time the Mavs have lost at home all post season, let’s hope we can add some more to that. Go Thunder!

As we get pepped up for Game 2 of the Playoffs let’s focus on what the OKC Thunder need to do to bring home a win. Firstly we need to utilize Kevin Durant as much as possible as it seems apparent that the Mavs don’t know what to do with him. Also, Westbrook needs to step up his game and really start taking some action. It seems like he wasn’t in the game. Our record of bounce back games is 25-6 and so we should be able to pull off a OKC Thunder win in Dallas.

The Thunder Game will be on ESPN, cox Chanel 29, HD 720 at 8pm CT.

There isn’t much debate about how we lost Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs, it basically comes down to Dirk Nowitzki just dominating the court. As far as a fantastic game of basketball, Dirk topped it as he managed to get an incredible 48 points on 15 shots. The Mavs lead by at most 16 throughout the game, and played fantastically throughout. No, this isn’t a Mavericks blog but we definitely have some good sportsmanship over here.

The Mavs were definitely prepared while we may have been a little too confident, or perhaps, just perhaps a little underprepared as we went into Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs. Kevin Durant helped us mostly keep up with the Mavs while Russell Westbrook barely participated in the game. Hopefully we can get some real inner team spirit happening as we head towards Game 2.

We need to be a little less agressive as we do move into Game 2 and make sure we are setting up some solid offense to defend against Dirk. All isn’t lost yet, we still have a long way to go in the Playoffs. Let’s bring it together and show some Thunder team spirit!

Firstly, this should be some great basketball. I think Oklahoma fans are really excited about having the OKC Thunder in the NBA Playoffs and what a great competitor to go up against. We’ve always had a place in our hearts for playing ball with Texas. As we move into game 1 of the NBA Playoffs it should be interesting to see how it starts out, whether we come out on top or hit a rough start.

We won’t start the Playoffs at home this time, rather we will be playing in Dallas. The Mavs have had quite an opportunity to prepare for the OKC Thunder but there is a lot of chatter that we can bring home a win even though we came off a little rough in the Western Conference semifinals in Game 7.

Let’s go Thunder!

We lost the last game, but we can pick it up this game and start heading towards a winning streak and ignore the Russell Westbrook chatter. Let’s see what we can do to take advantage of playing at home and bring home a win. We can do this tomorrow in Game 2 of the semifinals.

With the hopes of homecourt advantage just outside of our grasps we took a blow in the first game of the western conference semifinals. The Grizzlies came prepared and led the game early in the first quarter. Throughout the game the Grizzlies led with a consistent 16 point lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The game ended 114-101 in the OKC thunderdome.
