    It also helps they are probably the least knowledgable fan base out there.

    You guys should check out reddit. Their fans are acting like they’re already in the second round. They’re celebrating. Some are saying it will be a 4-1 series.

    Trap series for OKC.

    www.google.com for any lurking OKC fan that doesn't know what a trap game (or series) is.

    It would be sweet if Nurk showed up for game 1, crowd would go fucking nuts and the team would get juiced off it. Doubtful though.

    I mean, if we were in their position and we knew the success of doubling dame works (and Nurk is out) I feel they have a reason to be optimistic.

    It's up to the team to shut them up.

    yep

    I remember last season about this time when lots of people were hoping for a match-up with OKC because the Blazers were 4-0 against them that season. Pretty similar circumstances except this season, the 2nd best player on the team that is 0-4 is out. Why the hell wouldn't Thunder fans be happy with the match-up?

    Maybe we should learn that regular season results don’t mean jack once the playoffs brackets are set?

    I think there can be carry-over from the regular season to the playoffs. Sometimes, there are just match-up issues

    we've got some 'resources' in this forum; I'd be curious if there was ever a time in NBA history when a team won a conference playoff series against a team that won the regular season 4-0

    The Suns swept the Bucks this year. Does that mean they'd win a playoff series against them?

    Bring him in riding a wheel chair. Or a hospital bed if they have to. Just get him there, have him make a brief statement, then yell RIP CITYYYYYYY!!!!
