Toronto had every chance. Timid finish against a veteran squad won't cut it.

Marcus Thornton with a very solid game.

Should be a great series against the Heat.

Looked more like a push. That's why no one was even mentioning it before the weak suspension came down. They sure do love the Thunder. Scheduling throughout the regular season, suspensions...honestly it's pretty funny how they get catered to.

A push? That is a suspension every single time in the NBA. Randolph was moronic, there was absolutely nothing happening that warranted him to do that. I don't know how any objective person could watch that and think it was weak. I couldn't believe the referees didn't call a flagrant and review it at the time, but they obviously didn't see it.

Your scheduling complaint is without merit. Every team has tough stretches and easy stretches.

That's what most unbiased fans called it. As far as the schedule...the Thunder had one 4 game road trip the entire season, compare that to all the other teams and see what you come up with. Most teams have 4, 5 and 6+ game road trips and multiple ones at that. How can you honestly say, that has no merit?

There are always going to be quirks. They had some tough stretches. But thinking the NBA does something as complicated as making a schedule and deliberately favors some teams at the same time, that has no merit.

The Thunder share the arena with NOBODY. No hockey, no rodeo, few concerts. Almost all of the biggest concerts are in Tulsa. We do get some, but they are booked around Thunder games, not the other way around. Most teams that have very long road trips have them because of arena conflicts...Grammy Awards, rodeos, hockey, concerts, etc. About the longest thing we had this year was the NCAA wrestling championships over a weekend.

I'm still waiting to see some video of this dirty play by Adams. Every interesting play ever finds its way on to Youtube, but none of him? How is that possible? The guy is tough, strong, and athletic. Other guys don't like it. End of story.

If Westbrook had played like Paul did in the last 3 minutes he'd be crucified for days. Instead, since it is Chris Fall...err....Paul, it must be the refs fault.

Why should he be crucified? He owned up to it...he blamed the loss entirely on himself. Any non biased person would say the refs gave the Thunder the game with that out of bounds call.
