Dec 8: Pacers at Thunder Game Thread

[Project018]

Pacers at Thunder. Epic matchup. Thunder up eight, early second quarter

[FKAri]

Best game of the night. Dunno why theres no thread.

[KG215]

Durant appears to be playing like he wants to make a statement. He's playing pissed off.

I know. Doesn't is suck though that a lot of these games aren't on national TV? God I hope the media is taking notice of this shit

He needs to play pissed off, instead of playing like a fvcking pu$$y all the time. He needs that Westbrook mentality.

[#number6ix#]

Durant out to destroy PG tonight... So far he's doing it but the pacers play a lot better in the 2nd half of games

[LONGTIME]

Westbrook shooting too many threes again.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

George is getting his booty clogged:lol

[O_City_Thunder]

I wish Westbrook would stop shooting so many 3's

[inclinerator]

durant is owning george

[LONGTIME]

A flagrant really...

[Project018]

Durant going for 40

[imnew09]

fk these refs

[ProfessorMurder]

fk these refs

That was a terrible call on CJ Watson. Just play on for f*cks sake.

[Fudge]

Oh nooooo Reggieeee

[Fudge]

Reggie is playing like a fcking god. I love it.

[KG215]

Best bench we've ever had since the team moved to OKC.

[Fudge]

Rainin Doeeeeee

[LONGTIME]

Lamb and Reggie :bowdown: :applause:

[O_City_Thunder]

Reggie Harden!!! :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Jeremy Lamb the truth:bowdown: :bowdown: that j smoother than curry IMO:applause:

[Fudge]

Jeremy Jackson > James Haren

[imdaman99]

Reggie Jackson playing like Bobby Jackson from the Kings bench mob of 10-12 years back. Anyone remember him? Same type of players, off the bench and don't back down from anyone.

[russwest0]

Pacers be out here needing a rape whistle and shit :lol :lol :lol

[ItsMillerTime]

Game doesn't start until the 3rd quarter for the Pacers. Slow and steady boys

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Game doesn't start until the 3rd quarter for the Pacers. Slow and steady boys

[Fudge]

Serg Ibaku

[russwest0]

God dammit why do we have to check Perkins in he's able to **** this all up

[Fudge]

I <3 Perkins

[DuMa]

Pacers are letting up a bit because they want to save it for Miami on tues

[Fudge]

Pacers are letting up a bit because they want to save it for Miami on tues
:oldlol:

[imnew09]

Shaq a fool highlight.

[LONGTIME]

KD cooling off

[DuMa]

Perk grabbin boards and Js. :bowdown:

[LONGTIME]

Perkins :eek:

[KG215]

You know it's been a good night when Perkins makes that shot.

[Fudge]

I Love Kavin Durand

[KG215]

KD caught smirkin' after the rip through that time. He even knows it's a cheap move.

[O_City_Thunder]

I love Kevin Durant!!! :oldlol:

[Rik Smits' Hair]

Eh. Can't win em all

[Fudge]

Dat D doe.

[Trollsmasher]

I see Perk is dominating:applause:

[Thunderstruck]

Eh. Can't win em all
Second night of a back to back on the road for you guys. Same thing happened to us against Portland the other night.

[Fudge]

I see Perk is dominating:applause:
2 pts, 5 rebs, 2 blocks, 100% FG :bowdown: Career game so far.

And people would rather watch Kobe's return?

[Rik Smits' Hair]

Second night of a back to back on the road for you guys. Same thing happened to us against Portland the other night.


Yeah. 18-3 won't be so bad. At least it's not to a crappy team or a team with a crappy fan base.

[Rik Smits' Hair]

I'm jut pissed off about that awful call in the Colts game today. That was some BS

[KG215]

Wouldn't surprise me if the Pacers made a run and got back in the game. Teams tend to make runs against us fairly often for some reason.

[Rik Smits' Hair]

We play well in the second half, but I think our legs are too shot to come all the way back.

[O_City_Thunder]

Wouldn't surprise me if the Pacers made a run and got back in the game. Teams tend to make runs against us fairly often for some reason.
Yeah, because we start sleep walking at some point during every game.

[imdaman99]

Pacers dont match up against OKC at all... if somehow they got past the Heat... OKC could be champs :eek:

[russwest0]

Wouldn't surprise me if the Pacers made a run and got back in the game. Teams tend to make runs against us fairly often for some reason.

We just need to go small for the whole 4th. Keep up the energy.

WB/Reggie/Lamb/Durant/Ibaka. Run up the score. Send them and the league a message.

It's just going to be annoying as hell when arguably the two favorites from each confernce going at it and OKC winning is the sidestory to the Mamba returning. I love Kobe too but damn it feels like everything OKC is doing this year is going unnoticed in the media

[fpliii]

Are KD/PG guarding each other?

[LONGTIME]

Are KD/PG guarding each other?

Occasionally

[KG215]

Are KD/PG guarding each other?
Not exclusively. Durant's guarded George some, but Thabo's been his primary defender when Thabo is on the floor. George has been Durant's primary defender from what I've seen, but Stephenson has guarded him some, too.

[andremiller07]

Goatbrook has Hill scared badly dudes got fear in his eyes guarding WB and scared to shoot jesus WB gonna get a triple double easy.

[LONGTIME]

First foul on Perkins? Is this real life?

[russwest0]

Refs have been shit this quarter but no biggie

[Trollsmasher]

Perkins scaring the shit out of Hill:applause:

[KG215]

Russ completely ignored a wide-open Durant on the perimeter, but he made up for it with that 3.

[USABall]

I LOVE seeing that, WB shooting 0/5 from deep prior to that, Durant could slam it home on the break, instead trusts WB :bowdown:

[O_City_Thunder]

Russ completely ignored a wide-open Durant on the perimeter, but he made up for it with that 3.
Yeah, KD said something to him about when they were going to timeout. :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

He was cool about it though. KD such a nice guy. :applause:

[sportjames23]

Just saw the score. Damn, OKC takin' the Pacers to the woodshed.

[Thunderstruck]

Bill Simmons has had little to say about us after being wrong on his prediction about how the Thunder would play without Harden. He was sure we'd take a step back this year.

[Trollsmasher]

Perk with about 7 defensive seconds...

Shows how much respect he commands from the refs:bowdown:

[LONGTIME]

Perk going to work on em

[KG215]

Westbrook has completely and utterly humiliated George Hill tonight.

[LONGTIME]

George with the superstar call, sickening

[K Xerxes]

Pacers match up badly against OKC. Really badly. Westbrook makes Hill look like a bonafide scrub, they have no one who can contain him. And they have the bigs that can somewhat neutralise the Pacers down low.

[PizzamanIRL]

Perkins +19

Is he finally in his prime?

[O_City_Thunder]

Put KD and Russ back in Brooks

[LONGTIME]

Put KD and Russ back in Brooks

Yes please.

[zoom17]

Westbrook is destroying Hill

[Fudge]

I just wanna see KD and PG trade buckets.

[LONGTIME]

Reggie :eek:

[Fudge]

Reggie for 6th man doeeeeeeeee

[LONGTIME]

Perry Jones finally gets minutes :eek:

[KG215]

And their "no doubles" defense doesn't consistently work against someone like Durant and LeBron. Granted, Durant had an off 9/24 game against the Pacers the first time they played last year, but he put up 34 on 13/21 FG the second time in Indiana then he drops 36 on 14/23 shooting tonight; and LeBron averaged, what, 29 or 30 PPG on 50%+ shooting on the Pacers in the ECF last year.

But, to be fair, the Pacers were on the last game of a five game road trip and the second night of a back-to-back. Obviously OKC isn't this much better than them. However, I do agree that OKC is a tough match-up for the Pacers.


Oh, and Durant is now averaging 31-9-5-2-2 on 55/47/91 and 65% TS in five December games.
