The Memphis Grizzlies Are Going To The Western Conference Finals
Kevin Durant had 21 points on a putrid 5-21 shooting night. Memphis led by as much as 12 with as little as three minutes left in the game. Even with the night going the way that it did, Durant still had a great look at a game-tying shot with about four seconds left in the game. He missed long....
Macklemore Has Beef With The Oklahoma City Thunder
Oh I'm sorry, do you not know who Macklemore is? Just try to remember the last time you saw an inordinate amount of white people dancing to a sax-heavy rap song while periodically popping their collars and/or brushing their shoulders off. That was a Macklemore song you were listening to....
The Grizzlies Are About To Grizz Past The OKC Kevin Durants
Oklahoma City is looking suspiciously like a team that is going to lose a second-round series. Kevin Durant posted 25 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, while Serge Ibaka chipped in 13 points, 10 boards and 4 blocks. And still Memphis ground out an 87-81 win for a 2-1 series lead on an aft...
Kevin Durant's Crossover And Slam: Completely Unfair
Why can a 6-foot-11 guy with unlimited shooting range also dance by his opponent with a filthy crossover at the top of the key before gliding into the paint for a monster dunk? Because, as we've said before, Kevin Durant is more of a walking cheat code than he is a basketball player. That's really ...
The Memphis Grizzlies Beat The OKC Thunder To Tie Series 1-1
Short the injured Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant was able to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a game one victory against the Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference semifinals. Today he did all he could to repeat his feat. He finished with 36 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, but it wasn't e...
We're About To Find Out Just How Great Kevin Durant Can Be

Westboro Baptist Got A Warm Welcome When It Protested The OKC Game
The Westboro Baptist Church's protest of last night's Rockets-Thunder game—in response to Jason Collins's coming-out, naturally—was sad and trivial, as the WBC's protests always are. Six picketers showed up. Many more were there to greet them....
The Thunder Successfully Executed The Rare Double Flop
Down the stretch in the Rockets' 107-100 win, Oklahoma City turned to a “Hack-A-Whatever-His-Name-Is" strategy on Omer Asik. Before that though, the plan was apparently to get in the big man's way and go down like bowling pins....
Kevin Durant Finds That Life Without Russell Westbrook Isn't Much Fun
Comebacks from a 3-0 deficit have been done in hockey, and in baseball, but never in the NBA. It makes sense; those first two sports put an inordinate amount of weight on one person, a goaltender or a pitcher. But basketball is ostensibly the same starting five every night—except when it's not. Hous...
Carlos Delfino Dunks All Over Kevin Durant
This has got to be the highlight of Carlos Delfino's career, right? I mean, I just spent two minutes and thirty-five seconds watching a Carlos Delfino mixtape on YouTube, and I didn't see anything that even came close to being as cool as picking Kevin Martin's pocket, streaking down the court, and ...
Kevin Durant Blew By Four Houston Defenders For A Vicious Dunk
As powerful and graceful as this dunk was, Serge Ibaka's last second layup/tip-in attempt was just goofily anemic. The Rockets win 105-103 and keep the series alive at 3-1....
Kevin Durant To Russell Westbrook: "I Love You, Russ"
There sure are a lot of good vibes floating around in the NBA today, aren't there? We've got Jason Collins bravely opening up about his homosexuality, the Kings staying in Sacramento, and Metta World Peace talking about his Cookie Monster outfit. So let's keep the positivity flowing!...
"I'm Coming To Kill You": OKC Ball Boy Not Happy With Westbrook Injury
When Russell Westbrook went down earlier this week with a potentially season-ending knee injury, basketball fans everywhere sighed loudly. Crazy, stupid and crazy-stupid people shouted at Patrick Beverley, the man who ran into Russell Westbrook's knee during the second quarter of Game 2 between the ...
Russell Westbrook Will Undergo Surgery For A Torn Meniscus
The Oklahoma City Thunder announced today that Russell Westbrook tore his meniscus in the second quarter of Game 2 against Houston on Wednesday and is out indefinitely. There's no timetable for his return yet, which potentially leaves the West wide open and sets up the Heat for an easy run to the ti...
How Will A Meniscus Tear Affect Russell Westbrook?
We learned today that Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook will undergo surgery for a torn lateral meniscus in his right knee. This is great news for Western Conference hopefuls and bad news for anyone who loves basketball: We still don't know how long he'll be out, and the NBA playoffs without Westbro...
Good News, Thunder Fans Have A New Fight Song To Sing While Shirtless
Nice song, Mathias in Southern California. Nice pecs, too. Keep doing you. ...
Russell Westbrook's Awesome Block Leads To Kevin Durant's Scary Dunk
Here, in just over 30 seconds, is a perfect encapsulation of what makes the Oklahoma City Thunder such a frighteningly good team.
