I just got home from Tulsa last night in time for Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals and that was a great thing.  Awesome game by both teams and it just totally reminded me why I love basketball so much.  I can’t get caught up in dumb shit about the draft or “WHO’S BETTER, LEBRON OR DURANT,” I just want to see some cool basketball action.  So a big congratulations to Thunder fans.  Seriously, enjoy it.  These happy moments are fleeting.  You are my new favorite team left in the playoffs, so you have that going for ya.

A Moment in the Making: OKC Wins in Six over the Spurs 107-99 (from Daily Thunder)
A great breakdown by a blog that is run by not only fantastic writers, but legitimate fans.  Totally agree with the comment here that Scotty Brooks now can tell the haters to fuck off.  Turns out I was wrong about him.  Everyone was wrong about him.

The Margin: Oklahoma City Thunder 107, San Antonio Spurs 99 (from 48 Minutes of Hell)
It’s not the words here that tell the story, it’s the tone.  You can tell this is written by a Spurs fan who has been disappointed, and I totally get it.  Tons of people are being gracious toward this Spurs team and saying how great of a year it was and stuff.  All of that is true, but let’s be real: this one hurts Spurs fans.  It was (probably) the last chance for Duncan.  You had a REALLY likable team that looked unbeatable at one point.  And it went to shit.  So goes life, Spurs fans.
