Let's go Heat, Kings and Clips
( I want NOLA in the first)

 

I hate to say it, but I'm rooting for the Thunder tonight. I don't want them in that 8th seed and losing to Miami could make that possible.

 

Operation OKC Miss the Playoffs is on life support, but there’s still a chance. Need the following tonight:

- OKC loses to Miami
- Minny beats Memphis
- Denver beats Portland

This would put OKC in 9th after tonight and they would have to beat Memphis at home in their last game or they’d be out.

If OKC wins tonight, they clinch a playoff spot; San Antonio and New Orleans also clinch with wind tonight. All three also clinch if both Denver and Minnesota lose.

 

Same, I’d like them to stay at the 7th seed

 

So if OKC wins out will that keep them out of 8th seed?

 

Yea if they win out, i believe the lowest they get is 7th and it all varies depending on the other teams if they go higher

 

I'm never going to root for OKC. Yes, I understand the implications of my decision.

The 9th seed is still a possibility for OKC.. I'm all in on that.

OKC has missed all their shots so far in this game.

 

12-0 start Miami. I fully expect OKC to get back in this game, but I feel good.

OKC 0-8 from the field.

 

Remember when the Thunder couldn't miss against Houston? Well they're 0-9 against the Heat down 1-16.

 

!6-1 Lead Miam/OKC

Melo back to playing like unwiped ass.

 

Was Carmelo up all night playing shuffleboard in Miami?

 

0-10 no f-cking field goals for the thunder. Melo saves all his buckets for Houston.

 

I put $50 on the Heat. The Thunder just aren’t any good.

 

This is looking like Rockets vs Thunder round one lets sweep these pretenders.

 

OKC on a 14-2 run.. not so fast! Westbrook went to the locker room though.

 

If Jerami Grant was a Rocket, they would say Harden had too much help. He would be perfect in the Rockets system.

 

The Thunder would be the three seed if Westbrook went to the locker room during the entire fourth quarter of games.

 

They might play better now
