If it weren't for the slapping of hands, you could hear a pin drop!
Yahoo! Box Score
Okay, I'll admit that I didn't watch much of this game. Between the Warriors-Knicks Game and the OU-OSU game, it kind of got sandwiched in. But, I did see much of the 4th.
And the unthinkable happened. Not only did the Thunder Win, but Brian Davis called himself a SHAMELESS HOMER!!!! He Said:
"The Thunder avoided a 15 game losing streak. Now I didn't mention this all game, not because I'm a shameless homer, but because it's not important in the bigger picture."
Wow. Finally we know....that he knows.
Anyway, the win will be largely passed over and has to be the most meaningless win ever. The Grizzlies are known for blowing leads, and when the Grizzlies did so at home, the around 500 fans in the Fedex Library started leaving and booing harshly. I mean, seriously booing. Not light booing that John Rhode barely notices, but loud booing that could be clearly heard on Television. Given their 12 year history of complete suck (even when they were in the playoffs, they got swept twice), I don't blame them at all.
On top of that, nobody was watching. Even Desmond Mason was constantly asking Brian Davis what the Bedlam score was (he has an iPhone). People probably won't even notice it on ABC/ESPN's Bottom Line during the game, and if they do, they'll probably just cock their eyebrow and move on.
In the end, we saved ourselves from a lot of embarassment, we won a road game, and we trudge on through this mess of a season. Since I didn't see most of the game, I can't give you any cold, hard analysis, so I'll save you the BS and just move on to the awards:
There were so many empty seats, it was like open practice!
Kevin Durant wins the Thunder Wonder tonight, and he deserves it. 30 Points, 8-16 Shooting, 0-2 3 Pointers, 14-16 Free Throws, 7 Rebounds, 2 Assists, 3 Turnovers, 1 Steal, and 2 Blocks. Man, that's a mouthful. I'm glad that my criticism of his lack of things besides scoring got to his head. Good job, KD.
Why is anybody sitting in the uppers? Sneak down, already!
And, you guessed it, Jeff Green gets the Thunder Down Under. 22 Points, 6-12 Shooting, 2-4 3 Pointers, 8-8 Free Throws, 2 Rebounds, 2 Assists, 1 Turnover, and 2 Steals round out his night. The 3rd Star (only given out when necessary) goes to Russell Westbrook. 12 Points, 5-11 Shooting, 2-3 Free Throws, 5 Rebounds (all offensive), 4 Assists, 2 Turnovers, and 2 Steals complete a very awesome night for our young big 3. On top of that, Westbrook, Wilkins, Smith, Wilcox, and Mason all had awesome nights.
Only one guy played subpar enough to get the Thunder Blunder, and that man is Nick Collison. 7 Minutes, 14 Seconds, and 1 Foul. That's IT. You can't blame him that much given his playing time, but comeon man, get a rebound!
He almost broke his thumb on the net! Sadly, only 5 people would have been there to see it.
But of course, the Thunder Plunderer goes to Orange Juice Mayonnaise. 30 Points, 11-22 Shooting, 3-6 3 Pointers, 5-5 Free Throws, 7 Rebounds, 2 Assists, 3 Turnovers, and 1 Steal give him a beastly night. Looking at exclusively the Box Score, it looks like the Grizzlies relied too much on Mayonnaise, Gasol, and Gay while the rest of their team was crap. The Thunder, on the other hand, got solid contributions from everybody. If only this could happen every night....
Next Game: Wednesday, December 3rd at Charlotte. (Win Streak?)
Okay, now I'm going back to Bedlam. Comeon Sooners, pull it out! And tackle the other team, will ya?
