Thunder end long road trip with overtime loss against Blazers

POR - 24 25 26 34 24 133

Player of the Game: Kevin Durant



Video Highlights
Green dunks over Camby.


Harden hits a three from the corner.

[Phil89]

Durant's off to a hot start. I'm picking him to top the 50 point mark at least once during the month with performances like that.

Psychic much?

[Martti.]

Hahaa, Andrew called it.

[Axel The Great]

Wow, 59 points! 19 blocks by the Blazers? No wonder you guys went to OT.

You should really teach me how to force that many turnovers on the CPU, cause I can barely force more than 5 on All-Star!

[Andrew]

There it is. Shame it couldn't have come in a win, though. Guess he'll have to do it again.

[Phil89]

Third overtime game of the season already. Superstar is a great challenge.

You should really teach me how to force that many turnovers on the CPU, cause I can barely force more than 5 on All-Star!

Basically just starts with Westbrook defending their point guard when he brings the ball down the court. Plus a lot of trying to steal the ball.

Oklahoma City Thunder [13-6] vs Dallas Mavericks [13-6]

Thunder return home in style



OKC - 28 40 27 20 115
DAL - 23 22 29 30 104

Player of the Game: Jeff Green



Video Highlights
Harden blocks Terry in the paint.

[Andrew]

Funny how 29 points seems so ordinary after scoring 59. In any case that's a great win to return home with, you were all over them in the second quarter.

Oklahoma City Thunder [14-6] vs Houston Rockets [11-9]

Thunder keep up great home record with win over Rockets



OKC - 36 25 35 32 128
HOU - 31 29 29 30 119

Player of the Game: Kevin Durant



Video Highlights
Green pulls off an athletic dunk.


Durant ends the first quarter with a three.

[Phil89]

Fun fact: There are 2 Brad Millers on this save game. One at Houston rated 72 and one in free agency rated 75.

[Martti.]

What's with Chuck Hayes starting at the 2? He's got the height for it, nothing else.

[Axel The Great]

Yeah, Chuck Hayes at the 2 just shows you how stupid the sim engine is in Live 10.

[Andrew]

Huge game for Brooks, though you did a nice job holding him to a low field goal percentage. I believe you made a typo with Krstic in the boxscore though, he should have two points rather than 20. Another good game for Brown off the bench, solid home win.

[Phil89]

Damn predictive text thing on my spreadsheet.

Usually I notice the mistakes and fix them, but I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention.

[Andrew]

That's an impressive margin of victory for Superstar. Nice game by the entire starting five there.

[Phil89]

18/12/09

Oklahoma City Thunder [17-6] vs Milwaukee Bucks [8-16]

Bogut stars for Bucks as Thunder fall short



OKC - 26 28 30 24 108
MIL - 30 28 24 34 116

Player of the Game: Andrew Bogut



Video Highlights
Dampier blocks Jennings in the paint.


Brown dunks over Gooden.

[Martti.]

Surprising loss to my Bucks, nice to see Jennings and Bogut notch double-doubles. Durant has been on a tear as of late.

[Phil89]

I figured I'd add a bit of realism. Seeing as he won the scoring title last season and is leading it so far this season.

He's currently second behind Melo in this game with 36 ppg.

[Andrew]

Great game by Bogut, looks like they had it going in the fourth. Are you enjoying the game more on Superstar with the added challenge?

[Phil89]

20/12/09

Oklahoma City Thunder [17-7] vs Indiana Pacers [7-20]

Thunder bounce back against Pacers

IND - 28 25 32 19 104

Player of the Game: Russell Westbrook



Video Highlights
Green with a massive block.


Durant makes a tough shot from the corner.

[Phil89]

Great game by Bogut, looks like they had it going in the fourth. Are you enjoying the game more on Superstar with the added challenge?

I'd probably say yes. I still feel like I can beat any team, but I can also lose against any team as well. I think it's added a bit more realism.

[Andrew]

Good to hear. If it's too easy it isn't much fun, but if it's difficult for all the wrong reasons it's not much better.

Nice job bouncing back against Indiana, and congrats on joining the 1000 post club.

[Murat]

Fun fact: There are 2 Brad Millers on this save game. One at Houston rated 72 and one in free agency rated 75.

I've had a similar situation at NBA 2K8. I was playing with Phoenix Suns. When I offered to Wallace, he signed with Sonics at free agency. Then I traded someone for Wallace. Soon what did I do? I got Wallace from Sonics again, then I had 2 Sheed.
