Yes We Can!

Yes we can , Thunder fans. We can beat the Celtics. The long road ahead will be daunting, the price steep. (In a low whisper, yet optimistic) Yes we can. Shooting will be difficult, stopping the Big 3 of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen nigh on impossible. But from the humble beginnings of a 1-2 season to the promise of a greater tomorrow with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, the Thunder can seize control of it's destiny and set itself on the path towards greatness with a victory over the Boston Celtics tonight at the Thunderdome. (Now in a more guttural roar) Yes we can!

Apologies, I got a little overwhelmed there by the election.

Seriously, it's going to take a herculean effort from the boys tonight to pull this one out. A fast start will be key, especially from KD. The Thunder need to run and gun and get to the foul line a lot more than the Celtics. The Thunder need to rebound even better than they did against Minnesota. In short, the Thunder will need to play their best game yet to have a shot.

There is a chance though. The Celtics have shown they can be prone to turning the ball over. They are playing the second game of a back-to-back. Houston pushed them pretty hard last night.

Still, these are the champs. Let's prove we're not the chumps.

In other news:

The Thunder signed seven-footer Steven Hill. Hill is the defending SEC Defensive Player of the Year. But by all indications Hill will most notably serve as a warm body in practice and at the end of the bench as well as being another goofy white guy for Robert Swift to talk to.
