Posted on 11 May 2013 by Steven Jones.
The Oklahoma City Thunder could be up 3-0 in the Western Conference Semifinals, if only they knew how. Instead, they face the prospect of falling behind 3-1, after blowing Saturday's Game 3 in agonizing fashion. Bad decisions abounded from the game's first minutes.

Thunder Lose Control of Conley, Series
Posted on 8 May 2013 by Steven Jones.
It may be time to stop wondering how the Oklahoma City Thunder – now tied at 1-1 in the Western Conference Semifinals after Tuesday's 99-93 loss – can deal with Memphis' vaunted inside tandem, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, because Mike Conley is presenting much more of a problem. His Game 1 numbers were pedestrian – 5-15 field goals, 13 points, 5 assists – but he catalyz...

Thunder Eke Out Opening Win
Posted on 5 May 2013 by Steven Jones.
In a Western Conference Semifinal series that started less than 48 hours after each participant closed out its first-round opponent, anxious moments were inevitable.

Who’s Got Next for Thunder?
Posted on 2 May 2013 by Steven Jones.
The Oklahoma City Thunder must head back to Houston for Friday's Game 6 of the Western Conference first round, with a 3-2 lead in the series but a two-game losing streak on the week. Dropping Game 5 at home by a score 0f 107-100, while creating sports-radio fodder with a disastrous “Hack-a-Asik” sequence in the fourth quarter, may have sent OKC fans into panic mode. What may make th...

Thunder Stoop to Playground Level in Ugly Win
Posted on 24 Apr 2013 by Steven Jones.
Since more than half of the NBA's 30 teams make the playoffs, a few below-average squads inevitably sneak in. On Wednesday night, one of those mediocre teams dragged a superior opponent down to its level.
