Very simple–just win the game and get to 16-8, complete a 5-0 eight day stretch, and let it be known OKC hasn’t conceded this season just because Golden State started 24-1 defending their championship.
OKC already has defeated this Utah team twice on the road this season. Thunder needs to come in and put the proverbial foot on this team’s throat from the opening tap.
Play like professionals. Take care of business. Get to 16-8. Play with an attitude. Feed the Big Dog if it’s a close game late. Have fun because winning is fun. Just don’t screw around and lose a home game to an inferior Jazz team…and if the Peake crowd wants to boo Trevor Booker—then I have no problem whatsoever with that.
But win the game.
