Royce Young

Relevant factor to consider in Perk's postseason: He was a +10.1/100 possessions in the regular season with Russell Westbrook on the floor.

Royce Young

Like I said in the post, the people that just yell "AMNESTY PERK" remind me of this: youtu.be/7pdWAcK6Eh8

Darnell Mayberry

But the potential 12th pick (via Toronto) is likely to be one OKC keeps & brings in, putting that player on the summer league squad as well.

Darnell Mayberry

OKC also could have the 12th overall pick, the 29th and the 32nd pick in this year's draft. Unlikely OKC will select & bring in all three...

Royce Young

Big fans of all the people that immediately responded "DUH YES" without reading the 2,000 words I just wrote about it.

Darnell Mayberry

Jeremy Lamb, Perry Jones, Daniel Orton, DeAndre Liggins and, if they let him play, Reggie Jackson all will compete at summer league.

Royce Young

Should the Thunder amnesty Kendrick Perkins?: dailythunder.com/2013/05/should…

Darnell Mayberry

This was my last day in the presence of the great DeAndre Liggins until July. And he couldn't guarantee us he'll be back next year. Sad day!

Royce Young

Thunder assistant GM Troy Weaver's name is reportedly being brought up for the potential Raptors GM position: bit.ly/13BnRIi

Royce Young

Just realized the Jeremy Lamb caller may have been Scott Brooks. #heyyyy

Royce Young

Someone just (seriously) called in to @markrsports and asked who Jeremy Lamb is and if he was on the team now. That says it all. #FreeLamb

Royce Young

From @mkimball011: The Thunder's season ended in monumental disappointment, but remember, things are still good: dailythunder.com/2013/05/its-go…

Hasheem Thabeet

I WANT TO THANK ALL OF OUR LOYAL THUNDER FANS FOR AN INCREDIBLE SEASON! YALL BE TURNT UP #LOUDCITY. GREAT PEOPLE TO BE AROUND. #THUNDERTFUP

A high quality explanation why amnestying Kendrick Perkins doesn't make a ton of sense: bit.ly/18Qm4kZ

OKC Thunder excels in national exposure bit.ly/16n8hUq

Darnell Mayberry

I'm 99 percent sure Perk is back. I'm 95 percent sure K-Mart is not.

Darnell Mayberry

Wanna talk about it, we can talk about it. But those are my thoughts. Kind of tired of hearing it.

Darnell Mayberry

People keep tossing out the word "amnesty" like it's a free pass for not paying a player. Makes no sense. And no, KD shouldn't be criticized

Royce Young

Kevin Martin talks about his future with the Thunder: dailythunder.com/2013/05/exit-i…

Kendrick Perkins

Words of wisdom for today is Don't listen to people who don't care about you. 1

Royce Young

Perk: "Russ do one thing that stands out to me. He gives everybody swag. He gives everybody swagger to Coach Brooks to KD to myself."

Darnell Mayberry

Kendrick Perkins on the amnesty possibility: "I'm pretty sure I'll be back next year."

Royce Young

Kevin Durant says this season wasn't a wasted year, and doesn't "give a damn" if you don't like that: dailythunder.com/2013/05/exit-i…

Royce Young

Martin: "I have a vision of what I want my career to be. And more than anything that's happiness and being part of something special."

Royce Young

Kevin Martin: "This is a place I'd love to be ... I'm going to have some options out there so I'm going to see how the process plays out."

Royce Young

Kevin Martin: "This is a place I'd love to be ... I'm going to have some options out there so I'm going to see ow the process plays out."

Royce Young

Fisher said he's going to not comment right now until he has time to review everything.

Royce Young

Derek Fisher on Billy Hunter's lawsuit: "I literally just became aware before I walked in the room."

Darnell Mayberry

Derek Fisher says he was just made aware of Billy Hunter's lawsuit moments ago. "I won't choose to comment at this point," Fisher said.

Royce Young

Derek Fisher: "I definitely would love to play again next season ... I would enjoy the opportunity to come back."

Royce Young

The Thunder's season is over, as @TPisme puts it, "buried under a pile of barbecue and menisci." dailythunder.com/2013/05/the-si…

Royce Young

Russ said he talked to Derrick Rose a couple days after his injury. Said Rose told him to "take his time" and "listen to his body."

Royce Young

Westbrook on if he ever got worked up about the officiating watching: "Of course. Because I knew I couldn't get a tech sitting up there."

Royce Young

KD was asked if he felt like this was a wasted year. "Nothing is ever a wasted year for me. It's basketball. I've grown so much as a man."

Royce Young

KD: "I love Kevin Martin. I love everything he stands for ... I would love for him to do whatever he feels is right for himself."

Royce Young

KD: "I think last night after the game, I don't normally drink Gatorade, but I think I drank four or five Gatorades after the game."

Royce Young

KD on where his game can go from here: "Be more efficient. Only place I can go is up."

Royce Young

Scott Brooks' full exit interview comments (h/t @Randy1340OKC): bit.ly/14sRUky

Royce Young

Scott Brooks asked to evaluate himself. Said he'd have to think about it later. "Call me... maybe," he said, obviously referencing the song.

Thanks to all of Oklahoma for the support this season. It's been a blessing to play here. Thank all the true fans. 1 love

Royce Young

Durant: "Sometimes you've got to ride out the storms to get to the sunshine."

Royce Young

Durant: "I gave it all I had for my team. I left it all out on the floor."

Royce Young

KD played all 48 minutes tonight.

Royce Young

Hollins on Tony Allen's shirt thing: "Same thing I said to him when he didn't block out Durant on the shot. 'What the hell are you doing?'"

Royce Young

Lionel Hollins on Zach Randolph: "He came out snorting and grunting from the beginning."

Royce Young

Super happy for @John Hollinger, though. Anything that contributes to confirming his basketball genius, I'm all about.

Royce Young

KD's line was horrific, and he missed that big shot, but that dude played his heart out tonight.

Royce Young

Crowd currently chanting "O-K-C! O-K-C!"

Darnell Mayberry

Game. Series. Season.

Royce Young

The Thunder's season ends, 88-84 to the Grizzlies as a miraculous comeback falls just short.

Royce Young

Actually that look was way better than I thought it was. KD makes that one in his sleep.

Royce Young

KD got a decent look. Not great. But decent. One that he can make for sure.

Royce Young

OKC has a chance.

Royce Young

For what it's worth, I'd say 90 percent of the arena is still full. It was just SOME fans that left early.

Darnell Mayberry

Thunder looks like it just discovered this thing called the "drive and dish"

Royce Young

Don't give up yet, you guys. Maybe Tony Allen will throw a magic 12-point towel on the court.

Royce Young

Thunder fans hitting the exits.

Royce Young

Wow, Nick Collison genuinely cannot catch a break.

Wednesday, May 15

Royce Young

KD is 4-17 with five turnovers. And the Thunder are only down six. Somehow.

John Rohde

Officially, it was "unsportsmanlike conduct" against Tony Allen on that 3-pointer from @DerekFisher when T-shirt was thrown onto floor.

Royce Young

It was 60-49 before Tony Allen threw the towel on the floor. OKC closed the quarter on a 13-4 run after it.

Royce Young

It came after the buzzer, but Jerryd Bayless just drilled an 80-foot one-handed heave.

Royce Young

The towel sparked this. Unbelievable. The NBA is so awesome.

Darnell Mayberry

The way I understand it, T. Allen threw a towel on the court as Fish was shooting the 3 in front of Memphis' bench. That's hy the FG counted

Royce Young

For a second, I thought Tony Allen was being all metaphorical, you know, throwing in the towel for the Thunder as Fisher clanged a 3.

Darnell Mayberry

Much better ball movement in this third quarter.

Royce Young

Tony Allen got called for a technical for accidentally throwing a towel on the court as Fisher shot a 3. Basket counts, and a free throw.

Royce Young

I'm going to choose to believe KD missed that free throw on purpose to create a cool three-point play.

Royce Young

TAYSHAUN PRINCE CAN PALM THE BALL.

Royce Young

That first half had sort of a Game 5 of the 2012 Finals feel to it. Will the second half go that way, or do they have some fight left?

John Rohde

#Thunder fans line up to get picture taken with David Stern at halftime. Doesn't happen in many arenas. #definitelynotinseattle

Darnell Mayberry

More cause for concern: the Thunder has been outscored in this series 92-75 in the third quarter.
