OKC - Five-peat! Final summary

[Phil89]

20/3/12

Oklahoma City Thunder [51-11] vs Sacramento Kings [33-29]

Thunder pull away after first quarter shoot-out with Kings



OKC - 36 37 25 28 126
SAC - 38 15 30 18 101

Player of the Game: Blake Griffin




Video Highlights
Griffin throws an alley-oop pass to Durant.

-----
Fourth quarter was pretty much garbage time. Cunningham did well with 8 points and 6 rebounds.

[LegoLand]

GRIFFIN A MONSTER !!! I think he will be this season MVP... Thunder NBA champs

[Andrew]

That's a pretty disinterested effort by the Kings in the second and fourth quarters.

[Phil89]

23/3/12

Oklahoma City Thunder [52-11] vs Detroit Pistons [26-38]

Gordon ends Thunder's winning streak at 10



OKC - 22 28 23 37 110
DET - 23 28 27 40 118

Player of the Game: Ben Gordon




Video Highlights
Shaq proves he still has some spring in his legs with a big dunk.

[Andrew]

Big night for Gordon, looks like Durant had to work pretty hard for his points. They killed you on the boards too.

[Phil89]

25/3/12

Oklahoma City Thunder [52-12] vs Miami Heat [53-17]

Poor display by Thunder in potential Finals preview



OKC - 19 39 28 19 105
MIA - 27 34 34 29 124

Player of the Game: LeBron James




Video Highlights
Griffin slips between Bosh and James and lays it in.

-----
I'm going to have to keep working on my rebounding if I want to get that three-peat.

[Andrew]

Yeah, you're being dominated at the moment and it seems like the points aren't coming quite easily. Still, I reckon you'll get there in the end, seems like it's just a rough patch.

Having a Lopez on the Thunder and the Heat certainly adds another interesting tidbit to the rivalry. It'll be pretty cool if you can meet up with them again in the Finals.

[Larvae]

It seems Griffin ate all the scoring opportunities that Bargnani had

[Phil89]

27/3/12

Oklahoma City Thunder [52-13] vs Orlando Magic [38-28]

Strong finish secures win for Thunder



OKC - 30 25 26 38 119
ORL - 24 23 29 32 108

Player of the Game: Blake Griffin




Video Highlights
A perfect start to the game for the Thunder.

[Andrew]

That's more like it, much better performance on the boards.

[Phil89]

Yeah, you're being dominated at the moment and it seems like the points aren't coming quite easily. Still, I reckon you'll get there in the end, seems like it's just a rough patch.

Having a Lopez on the Thunder and the Heat certainly adds another interesting tidbit to the rivalry. It'll be pretty cool if you can meet up with them again in the Finals.

I'm still on track to beat my regular season win/loss record though. I can afford to lose one more game for the rest of the season.

My Lopez is the good twin. Miami's is the evil one.

It seems Griffin ate all the scoring opportunities that Bargnani had

Griffin is probably my second scoring option these days.

That's more like it, much better performance on the boards.

It's weird how Lopez gets good rebounding numbers against Dwight, but struggles against teams that have less dominant players at center.

[Larvae]

Shocking how Griffin dished out 11 Assists

[Phil89]

29/3/12

Oklahoma City Thunder [53-13] vs Philadelphia 76ers [21-45]

76ers surprisingly competitive against Thunder



OKC - 24 32 20 27 103
PHI - 29 19 24 18 90

Player of the Game: Blake Griffin




Video Highlights
Durant finishes with an emphatic dunk.

[Larvae]

Oh snap! 1 Rebound short of a triple double!

[Andrew]

They put up more of a fight than they had any right to given their current rebuilding plans but in the end, comfortable win.

[Phil89]

30/3/12

Oklahoma City Thunder [54-13] vs Denver Nuggets [29-38]

Second quarter surge enough to get Thunder the win against Denver



OKC - 28 42 24 26 120
DEN - 31 31 24 25 111

Player of the Game: Blake Griffin




Video Highlights
Griffin spins and then dunks.

[Andrew]

Nice to see Blake pick up another triple double.

[Larvae]

WOW! Blake 4 MVP!

[Phil89]

Maybe next season.

[Martti.]

Is Blake's OKC average a triple-double?

[Andrew]

I imagine it would have to be close to it right now.

[Phil89]

Yeah probably. More assists than rebounds though annoyingly.

I haven't actually played a game in like 2 weeks because I got to the end of the month and couldn't be bothered writing up a monthly summary.
Plus other games moved ahead in the rotation too. Started playing FIFA again because the new season is starting soon.
Should get back to this in the next few days though. Playoffs are not too far away.

[qfrmcpt310]

Earthquake Blake!!...wait he's in OKC now,hmmmm maybe Tornado Griffin

Good to see this one back.

Looks like you're still on course for another showdown with the Heat.
