Royce Young: DT Mailbag: Goodbye, Thunder Alley: http://www.dailythunder.com/2012/0… yesterday

Royce Young: Underside to this: Wonder if Bricktown establishments were a little miffed so many people were downtown but not spending money at their bar. yesterday

Royce Young: I get the decision to shut down the watch party. But there will still be 20,000 people piling out the arena into the streets of Bricktown... yesterday

Nazr Mohammed: Catching up on this season of #Scandal. It's a great show. @kerrywashington does her thing. Check it out!!! #Scandal yesterday

Royce Young: I'm by no means advocating a suspension for Spoelstra at all, but I do think it's at least another layer to think about. yesterday

Tuesday, May 22

Royce Young: Two options: Either Spo doesn't have control of his team and Pittman went rogue, or Spo didn't think to make it clear to not do something. 2 days ago

Royce Young: I don't think Spoelstra ordered the code red, but maybe didn't make it crystal clear Santiago Stephenson wasn't to be touched. 2 days ago

Royce Young: Legit question: Do you hold Erik Spoelstra accountable? In baseball managers get tossed and suspended when a pitcher goes headhunting. 2 days ago

Royce Young: I think Pittman's elbow was worse than MWP's. At least MWP's was kind of in the moment. Pittman was out there headhunting. 2 days ago

Royce Young: Dexter Pittman deserves a massive suspension. Clearly premeditated, absolutely vicious, plus dangerous and stupid. 2 days ago

Royce Young: I'm not quite sure what the goal is in canceling the watch party. Cubs fans stand on Waveland, why can't Thunder fans stand on Reno? 2 days ago

Royce Young: So to recap, Thunder Alley will not be closed, but the massive watch party on Reno might be. Some confusion there. 2 days ago

Monday, May 21

Royce Young: Keep in mind, the Thunder trailed the Lakers by 13 with eight minutes remaining in Game 4... 3 days ago

Royce Young: Andrew Bynum jersey removal coming in 3... 2... 1... 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: To recap: While Kobe sat, Gasol missed a hook, Ebanks missed a jumper and Sessions turned it over on consecutive possessions. 3 days ago

Royce Young: (Smiling.) 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Kobe at the scorer's table preparing to check in. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: And Mike Brown keeps Kobe on the bench after the timeout...Dangerous, dangerous move. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Huge stretch here. Kobe is sitting, Brooks sticks with Westbrook and Durant. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Doubt the Lakers can afford to start Kobe on the bench for the fourth. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Video: Russell Westbrook's wild and-1 (via @Royce Young): http://cbsprt.co/LwAi1G 3 days ago

Royce Young: Going to be interesting to see if Brooks goes with his bench to start the fourth (like usual) or if he sticks with the starters. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: After three, the Thunder leads the Lakers 83-77. Kobe leads all scorers with 34 points. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Thunder lead 83-77 heading to the fourth. Russell Westbrook with a massive spark, scoring 12 of his 20 in the third. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Westbrook's got 12 points in the third period. 3 days ago

Royce Young: KD needs to watch tape of Kobe in the offseason to learn how to draw fouls off the ball. He's great at it. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: It's 73-all of a tight closeout game, and Kevin Durant and Kendrick Perkins are playfully fighting over a defensive rebound! 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Interesting: After all the talk about officiating in Games 3 and 4, Ramon Sessions leads all players with eight FT attempts. 3 days ago

Royce Young: So, how does it work if you make the shot on a clear path foul? 3 days ago

Royce Young: W.O.W. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Be still my heart. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Really don't like the way the Thunder look right now. Harden needs to spark 'em. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: That dunk gave Kobe 30. Lakers destined to lose. That is, of course, assuming Bynum doesn't score 21 more AND you buy what I'm selling. 3 days ago

Royce Young: The first six minutes of this half were big. Lakers established that they aren't going to let OKC take the series easily. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Durant to Kobe: "I see your Dirk, and I'll raise you a Dirk." 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: I'll say it again. I don't think Kobe is good enough to beat the Thunder by himself. Gasol is having a good night. But Kobe needs more help. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: That's four fouls on Bynum with 11:09 remaining in the third period. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Bynum picks up his fourth. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Gonna be a great second half! Here we go! 3 days ago

Royce Young: Yeah, World Peace kind of pushed Thabo, but geez, that's such a soft flagrant. Just a good hard foul stopping a layup. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: That contest by Artest was actually a pretty clean block. Bad call by the ref in my book. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: At halftime, the Thunder leads the Lakers 54-51. Kobe leads all scorers with 19. Harden leads the 13 with 13 points. KD has 12 points. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Thunder lead 54-51 at the half. Harden with 13, KD 11. Kobe has 19 for LA. 3 days ago

Royce Young: And now Kobe Bryant gets hit with a technical. 3 days ago

Royce Young: World Peace gets hit with a flagrant and then a technical for (justifiably) protesting. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: If I was Thabo, I would have gotten up swinging!! Lol..I'm just playing. Not sure what's gotten into me. I think I want to see some hockey. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Totally clean foul by Metta World Peace there on Thabo. Was almost a clean block in fact. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: I highly doubt Kobe can keep this up in the third game in four nights. He better get some help...and fast! 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Trust me, the worst thing that can happen to the Thunder is teams thinking they can punk them. Others are watching. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: And I don't recall Perk ever putting anyone on their you know what anyway. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Perk is too valuable, contrary to popular belief, to go and get himself kicked out doing stupid stuff... 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: The Thunder NEEDS an enforcer. Ron Artest just lowered his shoulder into KD, bumping him back into Perk. OKC has got to stop taking his ish. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Three on Bynum by the way. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: World Peace just raked Kendrick Perkins across the face...no call, no tech. 3 days ago

Royce Young: I believe the entire state of Oklahoma is either inside The Peake, or standing outside it. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Starters return, OKC instantly goes on a 6-0 run to retake the lead. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Scott Brooks is sticking with the second unit far too long here. 3 days ago

Royce Young: That's right, Nazr Mohammed just took Andrew Bynum off the dribble for an easy dunk. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Nazr Mohammed! Where did that come from? 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Bynum's first bucket comes 50 seconds into the second period. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Meanwhile, seven Thunder players have scored, none more than Harden's seven. Great balance. Lakers WILL lose if this keeps up. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: After one, the Thunder leads the Lakers 26-21. Kobe Bryant leads all scorers with 15. Only two other Lakers have scored. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Thunder lead 26-21 at the end of the first. Kobe scored 15 of the Lakers' 21. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Wow, big call there. Jordan Hill somehow gets tagged with the foul instead of Kobe. That would've been Kobe's third. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: I said B 4 the game that if Bynum has 30 the Lakers would win. But if Kobe finished with 30, the Lakers would lose. I think I'll be right. 3 days ago

Royce Young: That lefty bankshot from Kobe is maybe one of my favorite of the season. So pretty. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Kobe just got hammered. 3 days ago

Royce Young: The Thunder are just 7-21, but they've rebounded seven of those misses already. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Second foul on Bynum...Between foul trouble and the Lakers going into Gasol, the Lakers are quickly losing Bynum in this one. Good for OKC. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: That's what will continue to happens if the Lakers try to trap Westbrook in the pick-and-roll. He'll split it and get layups. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Westbrook gets a technical for saying something to Scott Foster. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Tonight's officials: Scott Foster, John Goble and Tom Washington. 3 days ago

Royce Young: These Thunder fans went to the Russell Westbrook collection tonight: http://twitpic.com/9nu52v 3 days ago

Royce Young: The Thunder are getting prepared for Game 5 by trading lines from Superbad in the locker room. 3 days ago

Royce Young: Mike Brown: "To me this is a completely different team if you take Perk out of the equation. He's like the heart and soul." 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Scott Brooks says minutes aren't a concern, even with a banged up Kendrick Perkins. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Clips will be back. They're a good offseason (and maybe a coach) away from being scary good. This experience will help them. 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Amazing how much Tony Parker and Tim Duncan's answers in their on-court interview sounded just like the Thunder. Wonder why? 3 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: How much do Lakers fans wish Derek Fisher was their starting point guard right about now? 10 days ago

Royce Young: Bynum has had only one post touch since Perk went to the locker room. And he kicked out. 10 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Nazr Mohammed will have to be huge in the rest of this one and probably in Wednesday's Game 2 as well. Perk looked to be in pain 10 days ago

Royce Young: The Thunder are elbowing the Lakers in the face right now. 10 days ago

Royce Young: It looks like Perk might've re-aggravated that hip strain. He immediately checked out of the game and went to the locker room. 10 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Perkins just re-injured himself on a dunk attempt with 10:14 left in the third. He's being taken to the locker room. Not a good sign. 10 days ago

Royce Young: Thunder have the Lakers in matchup hell right now. Jordan Hill is stuck covering KD as MWP is on Harden. 10 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: I said it leading up to this series, L.A. has no answer for Harden. If they put Kobe or Artest on him, Westbrook or Durant will go off. 10 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Not one, but TWO dunks for Collison?? And we're still in the first half???? 10 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Somebody tell this officiating crew this is the playoffs. 10 days ago

Royce Young: James Harden gets a bigger-than-usual ovation as he checks in. Wonder why? 10 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: We're six minutes in and Kobe Bryant still hasn't officially taken his first shot. He got two free throws when fouled on a jumper. 10 days ago

Royce Young: People are telling me Artest said Harden flopped on the elbow. At this point, are you really that surprised? 10 days ago

Royce Young: Crowd lustily boos Metta World Peace on his first touch, and he drills a 3. 10 days ago

Royce Young: Reaction to Metta World Peace: The crowd booed loudly. 10 days ago

Royce Young: It's a fun idea in theory to be quiet and turn your back, but not realistic and won't have near the impact you think. 10 days ago

Royce Young: Not a fan of the stay silent thing for MWP. Boo, chant and boo some more. It's not like he'll go, "Ohmygosh it's quiet! What do I do?!?" 10 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: L.A. here we come... 11 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Kobe dagger? 11 days ago

Royce Young: Same old problem for the Nuggets. No idea where to go for points. 11 days ago

Royce Young: In all honesty, take "Lakers" off the front of the jersey and I think it's obvious the Thunder should want to play them. 11 days ago

Royce Young: That's probably the stupidest call there is in basketball. 11 days ago

Royce Young: Well, prepare for the Lakers. 11 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: For me, the key for this game is going to come down to what Kobe does in the second half. Period. He's been patient thus far. 11 days ago

Susan Bible: Be sure to read my new article on James Harden, i.e the Thunder's sixth starter: http://www.hoopsworld.com/james-… 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Brooks: "Guys are ready. They’re done seeing each other and competing against each other. They want to play another opponent." 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Thunder coach Scott Brooks said today's practice got "chippy," which means only one thing -- players are itching to get back to playing. 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: That sounds like good news to me. It says Perk is healing well and the team doesn't think Perk is at risk of a long term injury. 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Brooks on Perk "We will do enough 2 see (where he is). He won’t go on the court if he’s not able 2 play. We won’t put him in that position." 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: But mainly since this is the playoffs, Brooks said that might not be necessary with Perkins. Brooks said a shootaround might suffice. 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: One more note on Perkins. Generally, Brooks prefers to see his players practice at least once before returning form an injury. 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Another scouting website, http://Rivals.com, didn't even have Russell Westbrook in its top 150! 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Other rankings: Daequan Cook 13th, Obi Muonelo 26th, Mike Conley 28th, Taj Gibson 75th, Keith Clark 78th, Dexter Pittman 86th. 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Of note: Russell Westbrook was ranked 66th overall and pegged as the 16th best SHOOTING GUARD -- http://bit.ly/J4N1WB 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Looking back, Kevin Durant was a part of one helluva high school recruiting class. Even the players that didn't make it could ballllllz 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Perkins will be a game-time decision Monday night. 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Asked if Perk will play Monday, coach Scott Brooks said: "As of right now, I do not know. We still have a few days from Monday." 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: And Perk could do more tomorrow depending how his body responds. He's still day-to-day but could be getting close. 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: In other news, it sounds like Kendrick Perkins is progressing. He did some pre-practice shooting today with assistant Mark Bryant... 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: KD is a fierce competitor who wants to be the best he can be, and MVP is one measuring stick in determining where he is in that goal. 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: I have no doubt KD's 2nd place finish won't affect his game. But I also have no doubt that he'll keep training harder to get that No. 1 spot 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: "I can’t think about it too much because I didn’t win it. I just go out there and be me and I’ll live with the results." 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: KD: "It’s just a great opportunity for us to have a chance to compete for a world championship, and I just want to go out there and be me... 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: I do buy what KD said in his next breath, and that's that winning is ultimately all that matters to him. MVPs are nice but not important... 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Durant: "I’m always motivated. Me not winning MVP doesn’t make me more motivated than I already was." 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: If you're of the opinion that these second-place finishes motivate Kevin Durant, he said today they do not...Not sure I buy it, though. 12 days ago

Royce Young: Practice Report with full sound from KD, Daequan Cook and Scott Brooks: http://www.dailythunder.com/2012/0… 12 days ago

Royce Young: KD on LeBron winning MVP: "LeBron, that's like unheard of for a guy to get three out of four MVPs the last four ... http://www.sulia.com/c/okla… 12 days ago

Royce Young: KD on Perk: "He's been looking good around here lately. Game 1, I expect him to be ready." 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: KD: "So I'm over that being second stuff." 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: KD: "I've been second since high school, man. I was drafted 2nd. I was the 2nd best player in high school. And second in MVP voting twice." 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Durant then joked about finishing second not just two of the last three years for MVP but also being a runner-up his whole life. 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Durant on LeBron: "That's like unheard of for a guy to get three out of four MVPs. He's a good friend of mine. I happy for him." 12 days ago

Royce Young: Actually the two worst MVP votes are by the people that gave LeBron a fourth and a fifth place vote. 12 days ago

Royce Young: Who gave Derrick Rose a third place vote? I mean, really? 12 days ago

Royce Young: In 2009-10 when KD finished second to LeBron, he received only four first place votes and 46 second. He received 24 and 83 this time. 12 days ago

Royce Young: Full MVP voting results: http://www.dailythunder.com/2012/0… 12 days ago

Royce Young: Kevin Durant finishes second in the MVP voting. He got 24 first place votes to LeBron's 85. 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Chris Paul finished third, Kobe Bryant was fourth and Tony Parker was fifth. 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: As expected, Kevin Durant finished second in MVP voting. LeBron James had 85 first-place votes. Durant had 24 first-place votes. 12 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: "You start to lose that edge and that drive that you develop when you’re playing game." 13 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Fish: "But sometimes it gets tough with this many days without a competitive game... 13 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Fish on the eight-day break: "It’s a fortunate position to be in in one way b/c you’ve taken care of your business & you deserve the rest." 13 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Russ "I’m definitely anxious 2play. I get tired of sitting @ home & watching everybody else play every day & we ain’t playing no time soon." 13 days ago

Royce Young: Practice Report featuring full sound from Scott Brooks, Russell Westbrook and Derek Fisher: http://www.dailythunder.com/2012/0… 13 days ago

Royce Young: In the same way when you hear "Liverpool," you think of The Reds, when you hear "Oklahoma City," you think of the Thunder. 13 days ago

Royce Young: Other cities are defined by landmarks, culture or whatever. Oklahoma City wants to be defined as the city where the Thunder play. 13 days ago

Royce Young: I like the connection @runofplay made. The Thunder resemble an English football club because there's almost a civic duty to support the team 13 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Fish cont. "But knowing him personally, I'm sure he's looking forward to getting back out there and he'll find a way to make a difference." 13 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Fish cont. "But it's a tough position to be in to come back into a Game 7 scenario." 13 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Mavs showing some pride. Dallas leads OKC 81-68 heading into the 4th quarter. Jason Kidd has been fantastic with 9 pts & 4 ast. in the 3rd. 19 days ago

Royce Young: It's going to be a long road back if OKC wants to sweep. Thunder trail 81-68 headed to the fourth. Mavs scored 33 in the third. 19 days ago

Royce Young: The Mavs are pretty good when they make everything. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Starting to look like vintage Kidd, minus the 3-balls. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Jason Kidd is out there ballin 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Never seen this Thunder unit before. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: What? Did you think the Thunder was going to go away? OKC is showing its toughness now. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Sorry. I was admiring Dirk going off for a minute there. I'm back. 19 days ago

Royce Young: Russell Westbrook is 1-of-8. Hard to picture the Thunder winning this game unless he gets going. 19 days ago

Royce Young: First half analysis: I have no idea what's going to happen. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: At halftime, the Thunder and the Mavs are tied at 47. OKC shooting 52 percent. Dallas shooting 42 percent. 19 days ago

Royce Young: Tied at 47-47 going to halftime in Dallas. Harden with 12, Durant with 10. Dirk with 13. OKC shot 51.5 percent in the half. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Blatant travel by Dirk 19 days ago

Royce Young: Scott Brooks just told his team in that timeout to be Derek Jeter and hit singles. #coaching 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: It's way too early to know how long Perkins will be out...Even after the game I'd expect to hear the Thunder list him as "day-to-day." 19 days ago

Royce Young: And here's KD on Dirk. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Are all these Thunder fans coming through on the broadcast with their cheers each time OKC scores? 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Nazr Mohammed checking in. That answers that. 19 days ago

Royce Young: With Perk out, either Scott Brooks will likely have to dust off Nazr Mohammed, or KD will need to spend some time guarding Dirk tonight. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Brooks might have 2 make an adjustment w/ Perk out. Playing Collison & Ibaka together leaves no one who can guard Dirk when they need rest. 19 days ago

Royce Young: Derek Fisher has simply been fantastic in this series. No other way to say it. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Ball movement has been great for the Thunder (seven assists on the first nine made field goals). Ball security (five turnovers) not so much. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: The Thunder leads the Mavs 26-24 after one quarter of play. OKC shooting 56.3 percent. The Mavs are shooting just 41.7 percent. 19 days ago

Royce Young: Hard to know the severity of the injury for Perk, but that just makes it even bigger to close out the Mavs now. Extra recovery time. 19 days ago

Royce Young: Kendrick Perkins has a right hip strain and won't return to this game. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Perkins has a right hip strain and is out for the game. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Thunder has got to do a better job rebounding on defense. But the Mavs haven't made OKC pay yet by converting second chance points 19 days ago

Royce Young: I know it's not the case, but it just seems like any time Shawn Marion makes it, it's completely because of luck. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Troy Aikman in the house tonight...sitting courtside 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Carlisle was coy before the game about whether his starting lineup would change. Turns out, he decided to start Jason Terry. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Carlisle: "We got to throw everything out there." 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Carlisle: "We'll throw the kitchen sink at all these guys...At this point, we're not going 2 leave anything uncovered in or bag of tricks." 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: See! “@JenniCarlson_OK: Doors to the AAC just opening and I'm already seeing Thunder fans.” 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Now firing up jumpers on the AAC court: Mavs owner @Mark Cuban...My man can shoot too. High-arcing release. Think Derek Fisher with less legs. 19 days ago

Darnell Mayberry: Ton of Thunder fans outside the AAC two hours before tip. Might be a bunch of 'em in the building tonight. 19 days ago
