how much pressure is on okc?

[td4mvp3]

down two, facing a team that's swept others, facing 3-0 deficit and knowing no one comes back from that, knowing they had a lead and lost it and then nearly came back to take a lead but lost the game...where're their heads now?

they can fall back on the fact that they're young for a couple more years still

[slayermin]

They play on Thursday. Not enough time to think.

1 more year. If they arent in the finals next year, westbrook will be the first to go.

Big. If they lose the next one, it's over.

Scott Brooks said it in the post game comments

"If we win game 3, we are right back in business"

No pressure. Unless you lose game 3 and you are out of business.
Still, no pressure for a trio of 23 yr olds. Maybe they can psychologically break the Spurs with their bad fashion choices in postgame interviews. Or, maybe Kendrick Perkins explodes for 8 pts and the Spurs have no answer and forfeit.

Can't wait to see the next move on the checkerboard for the Thunder.
Pop and the Spurs are playing chess.

[oh crap]

Eh. The obvious pressure of a young up and coming team applies here but both games were winnable for the Thunder who were up by 9 going into the 4th in game 1 and made a tremendous stride to come back from a 22 pt deficit in this to make it a close one. They're battling a team with the hottest run in the league and face the disadvantages of youth and comparable experience but if they can get in the zone and win a game or two, they will be a very tough group to close out, much less count out.

Getting bearish on Facebook shares

In the first day for Facebook options, the bearish puts outnumbered calls by 1.26 to 1, said Brian Overby, a senior options analyst at online brokerage TradeKing of Florida. Facebook debuted as the second-most actively traded option behind Apple Inc. with 366,409 total contracts.

Put options grant investors the right to sell the stock at a predetermined price, while call options give owners the right to buy a stock at a preset price.

"It's giving people another way to short the stock, and you are seeing people jump on it," Overby said. "The options market can drive the actual stock price."
