The Chips are Down
Traveling to Colorado over the Thanksgiving holiday, I was forced to follow last night’s game against Minnesota through the play-by-play on a mobile phone.

“Ow” And Other Thoughts
The more time we get between the present and the Pacers game on the 10th, the more painful losing the Pacers game on the 10th becomes. Same with the Hawks at home. How different would 3 and 7 feel than 1 and 9? And it’s not just that we lose; it’s that we lose the [...]

A Swift Appearance
So very close. The Thunder have managed some excellent quarters of late, only to fall in the waning minutes.

First Thunder Win

The crowd noise in the fourth quarter was measured [...]
