    They came out to win. Their starters are playing, trying to win the ball game; even though they know if they win, they ensure they will meet the Lakers in the 1st round. I have much respect for them. Not like Memphis that act like a bunch of pussies afraid of the Lakers!

    If the Thunder win and Dallas lose, our opponent is OKC no matter what LA does.

    I have mad respect for Monty as a coach. No wonder he was molded from Nate's coaching staff!

    Sadly that is what I think is going to happen. Worst possible first round matchup imo.

    OK is tanking! They don't want to face the Blazers!

    Yeah, looks like they're giving their bench quite a bit of run.

    The worst case scenario for Thunder is playing the Blazers. Why the hell would they want to face Portland? Hell who really wants to face the Blazers? They are gelling at the right time. They are starting to get the swagger. And it really looks like Dallas wants to win badly. They aren't pussies like OK and Memphis.

    Didn't say they were going to win. They just played to win the game. At least their starters showed up.

    The game was close at halftime, as NO was up 3, and Monty basically gave up in the second half by sitting his starters.

    They didn't play to win the game. They played to get in a practice against a team that doesn't play defense. Chris Paul played 25 minutes, most of which were in the first half and early 3rd quarter.
