First, Skip and Co. I guess KD is staying. Second, 5 straight & 2 stops makes it 4-pt game w 1:40. Stops and KD not forcing are keys.@news9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Series in sequence: Must score, 79-88. KD tightly guarded. Forces, misses 18', complains, no foul. Steph easily beats KD for layup. @NEWS9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Before we started, I'd take down 7, Serge at line, 5:26 left. @NEWS9 #OKCvsGSW
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Big sequence. GSW misses bunny to go up 11. OKC runs, Serge finishes & 1 that could cut to 6 at 9:04. 5-point play. Crowd slowed. @NEWS9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
So I guess despite fact OKC up 6 at half & in tough G7 vs defending champs, some high-rollers think if the margin goes to 20+, KD's gone. BS
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
So OKC scores 12pts in the 3rd and trail by 11. #News9Thunder
— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 31, 2016
Golden State living right, not much going OKC's way at the moment #News9Thunder
— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 31, 2016
Russ and Steph going at it Russ does not care for Curry. Simple as that. Thought he got hacked on previous J. Poise. Poise. Poise. @NEWS9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Horrible 3 miss by KD followed by no defense & lay-up & 1. House explodes. Major danger time. Don 6, @news9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Warriors have fired up 24 3's, they may go up to 40 before it's all over. #News9Thunder
— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 31, 2016
KD hacked, no call. Guess it'll have to draw blood from here out. Bad feeling. OKC must adjust. Can't let this one slip out to 10+. @news9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Dirty player. Russ getting hammered by you know who. @NEWS9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Wrong call.
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
#Thunder are lethal in transition. There haven't been lots of chances to run but seems picking up pace would benefit. @NEWS9 #OKCvsGSW
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Nice to see from fire from Billy after the last Golden State bucket. #News9Thunder
— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 31, 2016
Here they go, adding by 3s again. @NEWS9 #OKCvsGSW
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
What a strange world we live in when Andre Roberson has attempted 4 more shots than KD at the half. #News9Thunder#bringbackheroball
— Brian Mueller (@BMuellerNews9) May 31, 2016
.@KlayThompson is so hot, I don't think the halftime break can cool him off. That dude can shoot. #HesOnFire #News9Thunder #Game7 #OKCvsGSW
— Chuck Fisher (@cfishernews9) May 31, 2016
Half Bullets:
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
KD 4 of just 5FGA.
Refs not 1-sided.
OKC just 1-4 FT.
Russ 14 pts, just 5-14FG but 7A to 1TO. Up 48-42. @NEWS9 #OKCvsGSW
Curry converts but OKC leads 48-42 at the break, love the fight from OKC #News9Thunder
— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 31, 2016
There's a reason the fine folks at Oracle are not replaying the tackle play in question. It does not favor Mr. Green. They'd show it if so.
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Drama in Oracle, a possible hostile act on the floor act on the floor according to PA announcer. #News9Thunder
— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 31, 2016
Back to +9 faster than you can say 'attaboy Russ.' @news9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Andre's offensive game has reverted back to mid-high JV level. Gotta have him out there but he's killing #Thunder. 13 pt lead is 4. @NEWS9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Warriors live and die by the 3, Thunder lead cut to 4. #News9Thunder
— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 31, 2016
Getting to the halftime shack up double figs would be an unexpected statement to Dubs & their yellow-cloud full-throaters. @NEWS9 #OKCvsGSW
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
#Thunder need to force the dunk try at rim b/c GSW is all around the tin & no fouls being called -- on both ends. @news9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Either #Thunder not giving...or GSW not getting shots they'd like. @news9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Oracle sounding a lot like Lloyd Noble Center before Kruger arrived. Not good for home team.@NEWS9 @OU_MBBall #OU
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Sweet Oop to Andre,this place got quiet real quick, Thunder up 13 #News9Thunder
— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 31, 2016
Solid gives OKC 8 and 4 in 8 minutes. Yes. @NEWS9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
The clever guy next to me from OKC says, 'Nothing personal, but Go Pens!' @NEWS9 #OKCvsGSW
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
THIS is the offense #Thunder need in 4th. Composed. Space & pace. Move ball. @NEWS9 #OKCvsGSW
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
OKC's 3 of 9 threes equals G6 output.
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
GSW's 2 of 6 won't last long.
Prefer to not hear from Klay anytime soon. @NEWS9 #OKCvsGSW
Thunder 24 Warriors 19 after one, Warriors had 20 after the first in Game Six. #News9Thunder
— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 31, 2016
Horrible no-call on Kanter fouled at rim! Has gotten old. And unfortunate. @NEWS9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Seems the more uptight team is the one in white ... as it should be ... and, as it will be if close in 4th.@NEWS9 #OKCvsGSW #News9Thunder
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
OKC hits 3 behind the line, lead by six with 2:34 left in opening quarter. #News9Thunder
— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 31, 2016
KlayThompson awfully quiet....meaning great D. First point for him at 4:24 on second FT. Still up 3. Key stretch for Dion. @NEWS9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Durant hasn't taken a shot yet #News9Thunder
— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 31, 2016
Strong start, up 11-10. Dubs got 29-footer that even Steph's not gonna hit over 3 of 10. Stars gotta let game keep going to them. @NEWS9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Thunder up 11-10, despite two Curry 3's, OKC not backing down #News9Thunder
— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 31, 2016
Serge will continue to get the best looks of anyone (except Dre, but he doesn't really count). Simply must hit a good % of them. @NEWS9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Roberson is already a better D stopper than Thabo in his prime. @news9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
With Memorial Day & full day to lube up and arrive early, Oracle is 10x more into Game 7 than others. @news9
— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 31, 2016
Forget Game 5 and 6, another tremendous opportunity has arrived for OKC. #News9Thunder
— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 31, 2016
Let's get it on. One last time. Hang in till 4th. GSW will feel some heat too. Far from impossible. @news9 #OKCvsGSW pic.twitter.com/RXsCKx9Bbv

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 30, 2016
It's laughable that some prominent nat'l media believe KD's OKC future depends on outcome & whether an OKC loss is close or blowout. @NEWS9

Pretty cool, Craig Sager started 2 sing Happy Birthday&the rest of us media joined, as Donovan walked into the interview room. #News9Thunder
