Serge Ibaka was initially ruled out for the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs, after suffering a pretty unlucky calf injury in the Thunder’s series-clinching win over the Clippers. San Antonio wasn’t necessarily buying the diagnosis at the time, and as it turned out, their skepticism was justified. The Thunder upgraded Ibaka’s status to day-to-day on Friday, and it now seems likely that we’ll...
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Serge Ibaka was expected to miss his team’s Western Conference finals matchup against the San Antonio Spurs with a calf injury, but he may be on the verge of making a stunning return to the lineup.

Serge Ibaka has a blog. I learned that today (via Rotoworld) and on his blog Wednesday he confirmed that he is out for the remainder of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs.

This means I am not able to play in the Conference Finals...
As if the Thunder needed any more problems they could deal with after Serge Ibaka’s playoff ending calf injury, their two best players certainly don’t appear to be on the same page. During last night’s 35 point loss in Game 2 of the Western Conference, Russell Westbrook was seen shouting at Kevin Durant to “wake up” going into a timeout during the first half. The two combined to shoot 13-for-40 on...
Die-hard and dedicated fans creating amateur playoff anthems in support of their beloved team sadly is not a new development (see here and here).

Unfortunately, […] The post Thunder fans create ‘comedic’...

There’s probably very little chance that Adam Silver actually maintains & updates this Instagram account under the commissioner’s name but, regardless, I still find it quite amusing that this photo of Hasheem Thabeet was posted on Thursday. The Thunder center’s outfit as he enters the arena for Game 2 is certainly…certainly…oh hell, it’s certainly something. I can’t decide which I want to destroy...

As if the Oklahoma City Thunder didn’t already have enough to worry about with Serge Ibaka out for the remainder of the playoffs, it appears the clubs two best players aren’t on the same page.

Home teams are expected to win at home, and that is just what the San Antonio Spurs have done in their first two home games against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Playoffs.

Derek Fisher is a valued commodity right now and with the Knicks chomping at the bit to hire him as head coach, Sam Amick of USA Today believes the Oklahoma City Thunder could have some plans for Fisher as well. Amick believes the Thunder could try the approach of having Fisher remain with the team as a player, while also utilizing him as an assistant coach as well. On the Derek Fisher front, I'm told...
