brilliant play design. horrible horrible d by serge.

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Money. Up 4, 18.3. Thunder too often get soft in this position and give up quick points. Need to play hard D...& sound. @NEWS9Thunder

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Really need to run clock, get good shot-preferably off Russ drive - and play defensive possession of lives. Chance for epic. @NEWS9. Up 3

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

I can't believe what i just saw. KD drives, dishes to....Andre Roberson?

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Am I the only one who feels like the #Thunder's season is hanging in the balance right now? #OKCvsSAS #News9Thunder #NBAPlayoffs

— Chuck Fisher (@cfishernews9) May 3, 2016

Been saying it all yr. For 1 of Earth's greatest players, KD gets fewer calls than any. Big one there. No points and 3 for SA. @NEWS9Thunder

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Kanter playing clean up on the errant Waiters shot, Enes 12pts, 7 rebs, Thunder up 83-76. #News9Thunder

— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 3, 2016

#Thunder have put themselves in position for 1 of best wins, ever. But lots of work to be done. Rested Russ a bonus. 83-76. @NEWS9Thunder

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Attack, attack, attack and dish. Don't revert to that regular season 4th quarter iso crap. @NEWS9Thunder

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

That stretch right there may cost them the game...& in effect, the series. I know guys have 2 rest, but Morrow, Payne & Kanter=sieve. @NEWS9

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Thunder 77 Spurs 76 after 3, Time to put Russ back in. #News9Thunder

— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 3, 2016

Can't play with him billy. Killing you.

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

I hope this Payne experiment is short-lived. Russ must be dogged or why would you sit him?

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

As well as Russ is playing on offense, he can't keep letting up on D

— Brett Coppenbarger (@BrettCope) May 3, 2016

This is a game the #Thunder can play some w/o KD but Russ has to be out there...rest of way @NEWS9Thunder

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Tons of keys...as always. But at least breaking even on backboard would go long way in getting out of Dodge w W. @NEWS9Thunder

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Team Ball on display, KD, Russ, Serge, Adams and Kanter are in double figures. #News9Thunder

— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 3, 2016

Prolly gonna take a strong second half of 3-pointers & slowing LA a little 4 #Thunder to pull upset. Expect +9 rebounding to change. @NEWS9

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Well, they survived the first half. 24 minutes from a spilt and a huge momentum swing headed to OKC. #News9Thunder

— Jeff Bardach (@JeffBardach) May 3, 2016

Thunder 56 Spurs 53 Half , how about that Thunder fans? #News9Thunder

— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 3, 2016

Tremendous half, getting out ahead when weaker teams would've succumbed. Think adding Aldridge was big? @NEWS9Thunder

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Can't just keep throwing it in and not giving Serge help. Either pull him or help him.

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Pitiful Serge. First 3 nearly air-balled. 2nd one 2 feet short. It doesn't get any bigger than now, Serge, Produce.
Must close half. @NEWS9

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Russell shouldn't sit the rest of the night. Period. #News9Thunder

— Jeff Bardach (@JeffBardach) May 3, 2016

Russ???!!

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Gotta sit Payne. Payne-ful to watch that timid handle in a game like this. Complete 180 from Russ' agression to Cam. @NEWS9Thunder

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Spurs score 6 straight to open 2nd, Thunder up two. #News9Thunder

— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 3, 2016

#Thunder successful w/pregame mandate to 'punch em first,' lead 29-21 after 1.
The key becomes maintaining intensity & fight.
@NEWS9Thunder

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Thunder 29 Spurs 21 after first, #News9Thunder

— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 3, 2016

A lay-up festival is starting to creep in to the #Thunder D. Better stop that fast. @NEWS9Thunder

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Here come the @spurs. Off to a terrible start, but still hangin around. #News9Thunder #OKCvsSAS

— Chuck Fisher (@cfishernews9) May 3, 2016

Billy goes from anti-offense roberson to all offense morrow. @news9thunder

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Spurs had a 3 on 5 and they still got an open look. #News9Thunder

— Brian Mueller (@BMuellerNews9) May 3, 2016

#Thunder could/should be up double digits. Spurs missed more layups than they have in a month of Sundays. Still, love the intensity. @news9

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

you know pop's making adjustments. We'll see if OKC can throttle. @NEWS9Thunder

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Now that's more like it. Who knows where it ends, but no excuse to not come out like rabid hounds every big game. 7-2 OKC. @NEWS9Thunder

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

San Antonio opens with a miss, make, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss #News9Thunder

— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 3, 2016

So Russ comes over the green...great. But simple pick and roll defense bust...lucky no layup #Thunder

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

Roberson on Leonard. Russ attacks, to line. Two good things to start. #Thunder @News9

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 3, 2016

After 32-point loss #Thunder odds to win NBA title plummet from 8-1 to 20-1. #News9Thunder

Russ in the house. @News9 pic.twitter.com/rTElLzWOup

It's just warm-ups but #Thunder w noticeably more focus & intensity than 2 nights ago B4 slaughter. @News9Thunder pic.twitter.com/FKe2QILYO3

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 2, 2016

KD hangs after a remarkable warm-up shooting session. Needs to carry over. @news9Thunder pic.twitter.com/vmIu1JgG2V

— Dean Blevins (@DeanBlevins) May 2, 2016

I expect a superstar performance from this guy tonight. #News9Thunder pic.twitter.com/6CxjgEM66H

— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) May 2, 2016

The AT&T Center awfully quiet 3 1/2 hrs B4 awfully big game. I'll explain, live @News9 & @NewsOn6 at 6:20. #Thunder pic.twitter.com/72W2g1qEfm
