<p>Any Aussie based ferners know if Fox will be showing the Conference finals and the finals proper? I can't find any reference to it.</p>

<p>Yeah they should be on ESPN. </p> -
<p>Bloody hell... OKC seem to have reversed the narrative that thye crash in 4th quarters.,.. demolished the Spurs 34-16 in the 4th to claim a win.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Spurs have homecourt advantage.. but that hasnt meant as much as thought in this series.. and Durant has hit some form.. could be all on in games 5.. 6 and maybe 7!</p> -
<p>16 points and 11 rebounds for Adams.</p>
-
<p>Loved what KD was doing in this game. He was extremely aggressive going to the basket and not just settling for the jumper. He and Kanter really sparked that 4th quarter turnaround. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not that they shoot a heap of them, but Spurs couldn't get their 3 point game going tonight, Kawhi included. It was a better defensive effort to close out the game. Adams was excellent, He's playing big time minutes now. </p> -

<p>and it is that attitude and approach as much as his playing ability that has added to his value. I was reading the other day how OKC see him as a 'lifer' and would like to see him as a stalwart of their team. They love the way the fans have taken to him and how his no bullshit approach has rubbed off on team mates. It's like they haven't had a player before that hasn't been all about himself.</p>
<p>If they want him they will pay.</p> -
Yeah, I'm seriously considered changing to be a thunder supporter. I've spent lots of time in both Texas and Oklahoma but would have never dreamed of putting the Mavs as my second team after supporting them since 94. However, it's getting a bit too hard not to support this guy, even against Dallas.

Remember me? Says Steph Curry. Drops 40 including 17 in OT

<p>Couple of minutes to play, SAS with 1 point lead. Adams with another double double.</p>
-
<p>Big play from Westbrook!</p>
-
<p>Fuck last minutes can go on forever. I need to get ready for work!</p>
-
<p>Thunder grab the win. Yay.</p>

<p>I missed this discussion re today's game.... I was to busy pushing refresh on ESPN....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great win by OKC... Adams is easily the 3rd best player on OKC at the moment.. with Waiters 4th... and Kanter 5th... Ibaka has fallen down. He is due a big one though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was refusing to buy into the narrative about OKC's 4th quarter woes.. but subconsciously I must have bought in as I am still in 'panic' mode every 4th quarter.</p> -
<p>I used to be into basket ball massively when the Bulls were good.Kind of took over as my favourite sport for a few years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got a flashback to that feeling watching this match. Awesome to see a Kiwi not just making up numbers and that final play by Westbrook was something else.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Spurs should have received that slightly earlier foul but that's sport.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>KNickerbockers are kicd of the team I support nowadays but OKC might trump them</p>
