one game at a time
BOTH teams came out with intensity. BOTH teams came out slugish to begin with but OKC was able to capitolize from the start. I trully wasnt worried at all.
This was Thunder's best shot. No doubt. Spurs got this series.
Westbrook and Harden the turd.... this was hardly OKC's best hit
Thunder must go 4-2 or better the rest of the way. That's just the pure, cold hard mathematics, no ifs or buts about it. And it will simply be a very difficult challenge - beating the Spurs 4 times out of the next six meetings.

It's gonna be a long series
Not even close to their best shot. Good win but they can play much better.
We did horrible that first half with 13 turnovers or so and we let the thunder get so many offensive rebounds yet we were only trailing by one point , I was very relieved. We beat this thunder team with Parker and Duncan not performing on the level we would haves hoped for so that only gives us more cOnfidence for game 2!
Westbrick will be non-factor this series. More he tries, better for the Spurs
This was a monster of a game, im so ing relieved that we won this one.
Both teams played hard.
That said, each team has room for improvement.
Also spurs shot terribly from the ft line I expect them to shoot much better game 2
Their effort was definitely there but Westbrook/Durant can shoot better without a doubt. Good news is that so can Duncan, Parker, Green, and Leonard.
That wasn't anywhere close to their best shot.
No..wrong..this was not even close to the best hit they'll give us this series..but it wasn't our best hit either. We played a total of 2 quarters of basketball in this game...they played 3, imo. Danny Green will not shoot this bad again this series. Stephen Jackson probably gained a lot of confidence from his defense against Durant and that three near the end of the game. This will be a great series..I stand by my original prediction. Spurs in 6..maybe 5.
Slow the game down, speed the game up, it don't matterrrrr.
Both teams can play better. This game was close enough that it could have gone either way. It is not going to be an easy quick series.
both teams had not played forever spurs 6 days thunder 5
spurs and thunder will adjust game 2 will be intersting
This was not OKC's best shot.. Westbrook didn't play well. No way he scores 11 points/game the rest of the series. Don't get over-confident. The Spurs have a ton they can improve on too. One game at a time.
This isn't LAC or UTA. OKC is a contender. They'll only get better with adjustments. Their best shot will be their last game.
No way that was OKC's "best shot". We took a jab and landed a haymaker in response, but this series has a long way to go.
Layup drill as the game went on. Thunder's key to winning is to force enough TO's and bottle TP up to offset, but Spurs now know what to expect. We'll find out what else Scotty Brooks can pull out of the manual.
OKC can play better.
But that was a huge shot to their coconuts. They had us. We were really bad, shook the rust off, and brushed them aside. There were some very deflated looks on that OKC team. To triage to check for Nervy B's...
Playing about 70% of the game out of wack and still winning feels nice.

Best shot for them to take one in SA, that's forrrr surrrre.
Not afraid to admit I was worried at the end of the 3rd quarter. If you weren't, I think you are a liar!
