Starting the Fire

Post by Sky »

Describing the Thunders win loss slate for March, is one of the worst. With a 8-7 Win Loss column (Correct me if I'm wrong) the struggling Thunders was on a brink of a panic mode as some questions started rising on the way Rondo's capability to blend into the system and if DeAndre can sustain and keep his body healthy. So many doubts has been thrown to this Franchise as if the hopes of a great Regular season run has finally fallen. "We were doing adjustments with our lineup and our team preference and we expect a little dip but not like this. So hopefully we pick up the pace and get back some Wins coming to the Playoffs." Said, Skyline.

It was the road games who are always tough, considering were in the twilight of the Season. Almost all teams are grudging to get that W or atleast get something going and another factor are the fans they know how the games and the season's worth that's why almost everyone in the City we visit is in the arena. Despite the circumstances the team's composure stayed intact and re-group was a huge thing for them. The leader of the team Kevin Durant had a closed door meeting with the team. Thou, details has not surpassed the media scene. "We are a family here. We talk, we re-group, we voice out our concerns and work out our mishaps." said Kevin Durant in an interview.

That closed door meeting somehow made the team in a whole new level. The Thunders are now in a 4 game winning streak 1 at home and 3 on the road. On those games the Thunders limit there opponent less than 100. "We need a fire, and I'm glad my team found a way to ignite it." D'Antoni added. "KD was amazing the last few games, did you check his game stats the last few games he tallied more than 40 points in what? 3 or 4 games, for me he is this years MVP." Yeah, Kevin was really in the zone. And thats tough to beat. Another player that needs a credit is Rajon Rondo wherein in there last game against the Pelicans he finished the game with 18 points and 16 assists with only a turnover. Can this be a start of good things for the Thunders or lets wait and see when they play against top caliber teams of the league.

Good to see you've gotten back on track winning but in all truthfulness you beat the Lakers, Brooklyn, Philly, and New Orleans, all teams you should beat.

You lost the game before that to Portland but to be fair to you you've struggled with them all season pre- and post trade.

Verdict: I'm not sure where you stand and luckily for you (not Biz) that Dwight Howard is hurt as this opens the doors wide open in the West and with continued tweaks to your strategy you may just find one that works universally against every team.

Must be nice to have a team starting to get healthy around playoff time rather than the opposite... :(

Second straight year we'll have to roll with Dwight Howard out for the season.

Like said in Andrei's thread, due to the Howard injury every team can win the west-conference finals.
So its nice to see your team in good shape right before the important part of the season.
