Tonight's game against the New Jersey Nets gives the Oklahoma City Thunder many opportunities to take advantage of second chances. The most obvious of these is the second chance at beating the Nets. New Jersey needed an extra period to defeat the Thunder 103-99 two weeks ago handing OKC their first overtime loss of the season. Tonight's game gives the Thunder the chance to avenge that loss at home.
The Thunder will also have a second chance to show that they can play basketball in the third quarter (ok, this is much more than a "second" chance). In the past two games as well as their loss to the Nets, the Thunder played poorly in the third taking themselves out of the games. In each of those games, the team was able to rally back in the fourth. It would be nice if the Thunder could show that they can play all four quarters. It'd be even nicer if they could use the fourth quarter to extend/defend the lead.
And finally, tonight's game gives the Thunder a second chance to remove the "worst record in the NBA" banner. With an OKC win tonight and a loss by Washington to Phoenix, we'll move past the Wizards and even with the Kings record-wise. It would be great if we could shed that image and keep it off for the rest of the season.
What is the point of this site? What is being contributed here that is missing on the 10 other OKC blogs? Just go comment on dailythunder and be done with it.
Normally I would ignore idiotic comments like this one, but I felt the need to say something. Not sure if this guy/gal is bitter or just a hater. Feel free to keep coming back to enjoy talent you obviously lack.
Hey AD, LMAO, always love your comments. But where are the other 10 blogs about the Thunder? Aside from WTCL, Daily Thunder, and Blue Blitz, I don't know of any that get updated regularly. If you know of more, I'd like to know. I enjoy reading others opinions on the team.
