We will live to fight another day. It's far from over.

you're kidding me right ... Game 2 is the only game where he didn't do anything.

Game 3 - 21 points, 21 rebounds
Game 4 - don't even know

this series is tied ... Goto OKC and lay the wood down; plain and simple.

he's having to work a whole lot harder for his stats now than he had to in game 1. he ran his mouth, and the thunder have been laying the wood down on him ever since.

I'm gonna get killed for this because I know the guy dropped off 40, but I just don't like Westbrook. I'm not in love with the guy.

In the words of my father "I wish I could buy him for what he is worth and sell him for what he thinks he is worth."

they should have taken it right at westbrook to get him out of the game. he absolutely killed the grizz tonight.

And to stand by my statement, if it weren't for Conely shooting a fade away 3 with 3.5 secs left it wouldn't have gotten to OT. Or GV hitting a one handed almost falling down three it wouldn't have made it to 2OT. Randolph has been effective this series however he took too many bad shots once OT started. He has got to start looking out more. You get stuck RESET and try again. DOn;t force up garbage. But having said that game 5 coming up, I am proud of the team for hanging in there no matter how they did it. Win would have been great, but Westbrook and Durant killed us, and Harden somehow came up pretty big. So we'll see how it plays out, but after this game im feeling pretty confident.

His all around game has been horrible. That 21 and 21 looks good on paper but he looked awful in that game.

lose Game 5 and we're done.

I think we are guaranteed one more game in Memphis, but I see your point. I think this goes to a 7 game series ... remember Chicago against Boston (with that 3OT game??) - Yup, Memphis is that Chi-town team ... we need to bounce back!

So, who wants to bet there won't be any tickets available when they go on sale tomorrow? I'm not counting on it.

Just got back. Maybe the most exciting game I've ever seen live, Tigers included.

Series is definitely not over. I just don't see this team crumbling. Game 5 is gonna be tough, but the Thunder could just as easily have a letdown. After expending so much energy to get this win, they might think they've already sewn up the series by getting homecourt back.

If it comes down to game 7 (likely), it's totally up for grabs. We've beaten them there before, and we will be ready.

Also, you might want to change the game date in the thread title to "(5/9 - 5/10)".

Totally agree. It's hard to drop 40 and find a lot of things wrong with your game, but he tries to take over games too often. He took at least 2 of the 3 chance to win which either means: he's got a big head, or Scott Brooks is a terrible coach. I'm going with both. He shows flashes of brilliance but he is overrated.

Dude, we need to have a flashlight installed in your belly button... Cuz youve got your head so far up your a$$ that you need some light in there.

Last night SUCKED. It was a great game, but I just felt like we had so many chances in OT. Zach is still putting up numbers, but it feels like he's doing it on more shot attempts with more turnovers. It's because they are putting two men on him and the refs are swallowing their whistle down low on both sides. Luckily for the Thunder, they're perimeter oriented, so it doesn't hurt them as much.

Zach has clearly been very frustrated these last 3 games.

Was there no foul on that final possession for us in 2OT? It seemed like Zach was surely fouled once in the paint there, but it's hard to tell from the upper bowl.

Zbo was fouled a lot more than what was called. Collision literally fouls almost every time on defense.

However, the game could have been over if the grizz close out the 2nd period stronger. The thunder scored over half their first half points during this time. A big letdown defensively there. The thunder should have never scored 96 points in regulation.

This series is not over, but the grizz blew a chance to take a commanding lead. And the thunder do have home court advantage back.

yeah, we can definitely extend it to a 7 game series but I really don't like our chances in a Game 7 in OKC. I mean, when was the last a road team won a game seven.

let's win Game 5 and not worry about that scenario!
