Thunder-Grizzlies Game 3 Recap: The Shooting Touch Goes Cold For Mr. Clutch
The series started off on the right foot for OKC, when “Mr. Clutch” Kevin Durant nailed a 3-ball with 11.1 seconds left to steal Game 1. Since, despite the series and the games staying pretty close the whole way, the Thunder are starting to feel Westbrook’s absence.
I was sick for Game 2, but from what I understand, OKC was hanging right with the Grizzlies until last minute...
Thunder can’t close, fall back 2-1
The Oklahoma City Thunder went into Memphis this afternoon looking to steal one. OKC didn’t really have any offensive rhythm to start the game. The Memphis defense played a hand in this, but the Thunder just didn’t seem to be hitting any shots. Kevin Durant and Reggie Jackson were 5-9 in the first quarter for [...]
VIDEO: Reggie Jackson jumps over Tony Allen and hits wild layup
Reggie Jackson completed a wild coast-to-coast circus layup
Reggie Jackson pulled out his inner Russell Westbrook when he completed a coast-to-coast crazy layup during the third quarter of Game 3. The play started with Jackson corralling the loose ball before taking off down court. Then Jackson executed a behind the back dribble followed by jumping over a fallen, Tony Allen for a...

OKC Survives The Gut Check
Closing Out
First off, this... showing four elimination games in a 5 hour block is borderline inhumane. I didn't want to miss a minute of any of these four games, and might have to just stay up and look at the replays. The fact that a national TV audience is going to see dramatically less fun hoop at a sane hour on Sunday afternoon is just wrong, but so be it.
In game five...
This Post Was Getting Tough so I Got Ejected Instead of Finishing It
I only applaud good team DEPF.
Don’t give a ************ talking about the storylines surrounding the NBA playoffs today. Don’t worry, we’re pretty much just going to laugh at people for being stupid. Let’s just get to the bullet-points while you wait for me to get into Mark Jackson-speak mode. It has been one of my STREMPHS since BIRF.

Rockets Hold Off Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder looked out of sync all night without their All-Star point point guard Russell Westbrook. While Reggie Jackson filled in admirably with 20 points, the Rockets 3 point barrage was too much to handle as they took down the Thunder 107-100.
The Rockets were also without their starting point guard Jeremy Lin for the second straight game because of a bruised...
Serge Ibaka Misses Game-Tying Layup, Collapses To Floor
The Thunder had one final possession Monday night to end the series with the Houston Rockets. Down 105-103 with under 10 seconds remaining, Kevin Durant picked up his dribble and was forced to give the ball up to Reggie Jackson, who drove into Omer Asik and got denied. The ball landed in Serge Ibaka’s lap under the basket and he threw up what seemed to be a game-tying layup...
The Houston Rockets avoid sweep force Game 5 with Thunder
Just what the Oklahoma City Thunder did not want to happen did last night….did. The Rockets won Game 4 to avoid a sweep. The Rockets edged out the Thunder 105-103. Houston’s Chandler Parsons stepped up his game with scoring 27 points to help the Rockets play another day.
In the past two games Houston saw their fourth quarter lead slip away to the Thunder which made for heartbreaking...
Rockets extend series with Game 4 win over Thunder

Thunder can't close out Rockets in Game 4
HOUSTON (AP) -- The Houston Rockets escaped elimination with a 105-103 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night.

Serge Ibaka misses gimme layup to end Game 4 (Video)
Serge Ibaka missed a gimme layup at the end of Game 4 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets to seal the 105-103 win for Houston.
Kevin Durant received an inbounds pass and was defended closely by Francisco Garcia. He picked up his dribble with about seven seconds left and the Thunder down by two. He gave the ball to Reggie Jackson, who alertly drove to the hoop and...
Thunder prove they can still win without Westbrook
Because even when Kevin Durant misses, it goes in. Because Reggie Jackson can make a couple clutch free throws. Because Durant can score 41 if that's what it takes.
That's why the Oklahoma City Thunder don't need Russell Westbrook to beat the Houston Rockets.
Without their all-world point guard, who is out with a knee injury sustained in game two, the Thunder on Saturday...
